Couponing

I have been trying to get the hang of couponing these last few months. I was starting to think that I wouldn't ever make it work enough to keep me doing it. Today I had an awesome time shopping. Now first off before I tell you what I did, I need to let you know that I HATE grocery shopping more than anything else. I would only go when we were completely out of milk, and bread.
I went to Smith's to day and got all of this:

All that is in the pic is 4 gallons of milk, 10 boxes of cereal, 6 packages of various sizes of Ziplock , gain detergent, 3 ivory body wash, 2 soap cars, 1 Irish spring body wash, 8 apples, 3 avocado, 1 cantaloupe, 1 honey dew, 1 17 1/2 lb watermelon, 3 toothpastes, 5 toothbrushes, 1pkg  hot dog buns and 1 pkg hamburger buns all for 55 dollars.
Now this wasn't my favorite Couponing outing. Before I went to Smith I went to Kmart. Right now Kmart is having their double coupon event and I am in LOVE with it. Here is what I got there:

 That's 10 Boxes of Hamburger Helper and 10 boxes of Suddenly Salad and 5 Soft soaps. All for the grand total of 7.42! That's about 30 cents a piece!!! I know that's not like the extreme couponing people on TV but they do illegal things and I didn't! It's a beautiful thing! So get over to kmart with your coupons and get some great deals of your own. I can't take credit of figuring out all the deals though. I have a HUGE shout out to Savvy Shopper who does all the work for me and provides the info for free! Thanks for making me a crazy couponing lady!

The last 30 before 30 goal!

I thought long and hard what do have as the last, #30 thing to be and it has been decided. I thought of everything and considered the suggestions given, even the running one! Wow, I must really love comments :)
Now originally i thought of increasing my vocab, and told some of you that is what it was. That is no longer the case and anyhow, how would I be able to accomplish that goal? It's never ending!
Drum roll please..............

I decided that I would visit every temple in Utah before I turn 30, and not just visit but do some work at each one as well. This could be a very hard goal seeing how we keep getting new ones and right now my number is at 2. The Logan and St. George temples. I think that this will better myself and my husband because let's face it he will accomplish this goal right along side of me! So there you go all 30.

Gavin's Birthday

April 12th Gavin turned 1 year old. It was fun to see him be excited about the different gifts he received and "share" them with his brother, Austin. He was even Lucky enough to have 2 b day parties. We had one on his birthday with our fam and the Joneses. Then Grandma and Grandpa Stockdale came by along with Mana a day or two later to give their present to the birthday boy.

Humm...That shirt looks strangely familiar...

I think it was a great birthday for little Gavin but what I loved the most was that I wasn't pregnant! haha I knew I was pregnant with Gavin when Austin was 9 or 10 months old. So HUGE relief knowing I'm not having another little one around right away, thank goodness!!
