Heck Yes!

My sister and I took our first coupon shopping trip tonight. We hit up Target and Albertson's.

Here are all my goodies.



Items: 4 deodorants, 4 bodywashes, 4 toothpastes, 4 diapers
Total: $26.46 (I could have done better but the Albertson's girl was being raunchy)

Yay! I am already loving the couponing!

Strollers for Sale

I have two strollers I am trying to sell. The first is a Graco single stroller. We used it with Cyndle and haven't used it since Sterling was born. Stroller is in excellent condition with only minor wear and tear. Asking $175 OBO so make us an offer!



Color is more of a teal rather than a blue.






The second stroller is a Graco Quattro Tour Duo double stroller. Very neutral silver color. Can be used with one or two Graco car seats. The only problem is there is a small tear and the handle bar on one side is held on by duct tape. Southwest Airlines broke it on a flight to Florida a year ago and refused to pay for it. Other than that it works great. Asking $100 but we are VERY FLEXIBLE with the price of this one.

Couponing???!!!???

Um, yeah. I am going to turn into one of those crazy couponers who buys $1500 worth of stuff for $0.1 Wouldn't that be awesome? Time to get started.....





P.S.- If anyone has good couponing tips please share!

Preschool anyone?

I am looking for a good preschool for Cyndle that is not too expensive. Any suggestions? I know that most are registering right now or at least very soon so please, help a girl out!

California 2011

This year we went to California with Bryan's entire family. We bought city passes that give you one day at the San Diego Zoo, one day at Sea World, three days at Disneyland/California Adventure, and one day at Universal Studios. We started at the zoo and it luckily wasn't too crowded considering it was on a Saturday. We rode the double decker bus around and then walked to see the animals. Cyndle's favorite animal is the okapi. It is in the background of the first pic in case you aren't sure what that is. (I wasn't sure the first time she told me it was her favorite a year ago.)

Next, we went to Sea World. I have never been before so I was super excited about it. We got to pet the dolphins and feed the rays. They have a little pool of starfish you can pet. Cyndle didn't like any of it! She was perfectly content to watch everyone else petting the animals. She just didn't want to. Sterling was a little skeptical about the whole petting thing too, but he liked it. The kids were afraid of the polar bears and Cyndle was scared of the beluga whales.

After San Diego, we drove up to Anaheim. We went to Disneyland, the California Adventure, then back to Disneyland over the course of three days. It was a little cold when we where there but fun just the same. And because it was an off time of year, there were no crowds for the first two days.

Christmas 2010

Christmas was so fun for us this year! I love that my kids are at such fun ages for Christmas. I must say, I love being the parent at Christmas rather than being the child. It is just so fun to see the excitement when they run in to see what Santa brought for them. We spent most of the holiday with my family because it was their on-year, but still saw the Rudd's (one of the perks of having both families in Mesa). Stephen came home from Hawaii and it was good to have him here. We miss him so much. We always go to the dunes the day after Christmas. Everyone went this year, even David and his family, and it made it that much more fun. Sterling, Dad and I were actually pretty miserable for most of the trip. We all had ear infections and strep throat type stuff going on so we ended up coming home a few days early. Bryan stayed with Cyndle and I was glad they were able to enjoy it.
