Fall Sports

It's that time of year again.

Trent is playing soccer. He is playing with the same kids for the past 3 seasons. They are really starting to groove. This year we have graduated to actually being able to play the positions on the field including goalie. Exciting times!!!!







































Garhett has decided to play baseball again. Garhett took the Spring off cause of the not so good experience he had last fall. But this fall he's back in the swing of baseball and seems to be really enjoying it!!! I am happy with the coaches and the boys on his team. Should be a great season of fundamental ball. They didn't have their uniforms for the first game, but here is Garhett in action. Garhett plays catcher, third base, and is hoping to start pitching.

Entertainment for Paige

Well September has finally arrived for Paige!!! She has been patiently waiting to start preschool and dance. So this week we started it all.

Paige's first day of Preschool.

































Paige's first day of dance. A little ballet and tap.





























So now Emmett and I get to enjoy some alone time together and do one-on-one therapy without the distraction of Paige.

Coupons..love them or hate them?!!

Well I have started couponing to see if I can help save on some expenses. I will say I have not been a fan of couponing because it takes too much of my time. I didn't want to spend my life running from store to store to get a "good" deal. That didn't appeal to me. So I started doing research on the Internet and still wasn't completely getting how to get the best deal, so I attended a coupon class (which I recommend if you are going to start this process or do a lot of researching on the web). I have scored some great deals, but the frustrating part to me is that the grocery shopping still takes me 2 hours at one store.

Here is a shout out to a great coupon site that helped me get started and keeps me so informed about the latest deals. Thanks Fabulessly Frugal http://www.fabulesslyfrugal.com/.

Here is my latest exciting deal. I only spent $30.75 total and I saved over $175. In the picture 11 boxes of cereal, 5 bottles of Hunt's ketchup, 8 cans of Hunt's spaghetti sauce, 4 cans of Manwich, 8 packs of snack pack pudding, 15 Haggan Daz ice cream containers, 2 packages of Keebler cookies and the London Broil and steaks I bought cost me a grand total of $2.35. Can you believe it?!! I couldn't. That reaffirmed to me that coupons are good and the more I do, maybe I will shave some time off of my grocery shopping.
