I love today!
Today was the perfect day! Nothing special happened if fact we didn't even do anything at all. But, we all went to church as a family and both the girls were mostly good. We actually got to just stay home today, and it was a nice break from our usually Sunday routine. I made cafe rio for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! I was able to read my scriptures while the girls napped, and lucky for me I have an amazing husband who is very scripturally smart and helped me understand what I was reading. Then the girls and I sang songs while daddy watched football. And the best part of the whole day was all of us watching Lion King with Kaitlyn in my lap and Mea right next to me and her head on my shoulder. I told Clay that I want to enjoy snuggling with my girls now because when I have three little ones I don't think I can hold them all at once. Up to this point I have mostly hated being pregnant but tonight I felt at peace knowing that there was one more little who will join our family soon. Everything today just felt right and as it should be. Now I need to go snuggle with my very hansom hubby!

life lately
So since school has been out I haven't worked to much this month, which has been so so awesome! I have got to just stay home and do nothing, and well get things done haha. But most of all I have been able to spend so much time with my two princesses. They have grown up it seems overnight, and I miss my babies. But I also love them so much just how they are right now, and I am excited for all the new things they learn and do everyday.
These are the four cutest girls I know. Makayla, Mea, Kait, & Anni. We had a cousin's sleepover a few weeks ago, and the girls had a blast. There is not one day that goes by that Mea doesn't ask when we can back to Kayla's house again. Thanks Jennie for letting us come and stay, we had so much fun!
Last week Mea did finger paints for the first time, she had a lot of fun. She had to do a picture for mom, both grandma and grandpa's, aunt Shanon, and her cousin Makayla. She actually didn't make to big of a mess either.
Mea is now officially potty trained as well, what a big girls she is! I had been telling her for a few weeks that when mom was done with school there was going to be no more diapers and she would have to go pee pee and poo poo in the potty. Well the first day she had quite a few accidents but by the third day we were down to only one accident a day. She would go a few days without any accidents then she would not quite make it to the potty in time. But she went one whole week without any accidents, way to go Mea! Today she had an accident during her nap time, she woke up but couldn't get her door to her room opened quite fast enough. She was DEVASTATED! She cried and cried and no matter how many times I told her that it was ok and tried to cheer her up she still felt bad that she had an accident. What a sweet tender hearted little girl!
This little one also is developing quite the attitude, her new thing is NEVER. If I say Mea you need to share that toy with sister, she says with the most attitude she got "NEVER", don't know where she got that one from. It actually is kinda cute and makes aunt Shanon and grandma laugh.
This little one is quite the ham if you can't tell. EVERYTHING she does is either teasing, laughing, or showing off. Kaitlyn does something that makes me laugh every single day. Kait is talking really well now, she says quite a few words and is learning new ones everyday. This is Kait's friend Lily, I babysit her for one of my friends. Kait trys to be a little mom to Lily, and wants to do everything for her. As soon as Lily gets to our house Kait plops down in front of her and talks, laughs, plays, kisses, and hugs Lily. Sometimes she gets to rough but she is learning to be soft.

Updates from like the past two months
Ok sorry,I have been super bad at updating my blog! I would start a post and then never quite finish it, then our internet started acting crazy and wouldn't work very well. So we decided to cancel our internet and we have just never signed up with anyone else. I'm sure we will again soon but I don't know when. So I will start at the beginning and this will probably be a super long post.
CLAY
Clay had to work on Sunday so we celebrated his fathers day on Monday, well part of the day. I was so excited to celebrate fathers day this year because it was Clay's first. Clay is such a good father to Mea, and I am so thankful to him for that. Before Mea was even born everyone said that she had him wrapped around her little finger, and really it is so true. He loves her so much. Clay thank you for everything you do for Mea, I love to watch you play with her, sleep with her on your chest, feed her (sometimes this is a little funny :) Walk with her, talk to her, everything you do with her because when I see you do these things I see so much love for her and our family.
MEA
Yesterday morning (I don't even remember when this was now) I needed to weed my flower beds but I just didn't know what to do with Mea, if I put her in her play thing she just cries and so I thought I would just set her on a blanket, but no she was crawling all over the place exploring everything. At first I would stop weeding and go put her back on her blanket but after about the hundredth time I decided that if she was just on the grass it would be fine, but then she was trying to crawl in the flower beds. I was very frustrated because I didn't want her to get dirty, but then I just though why not just let her have fun and I can always just bath her after. So you know what yep you bet she played in the wet dirt, and yep you bet she pulled the flowers off the stems and stuck them in her mouth, and yep she ate grass as well, and yep she was really dirty, and yep she touched bird poop and then stuck her finger in her mouth, that was the last straw, I couldn't handle that YUCK! But luckily I was done weeding by then, so that was the end of her being dirty, and the end of her fun, but oh did she have fun!
JACK
So I have felt like I have neglected my little dog lately, I have been so busy with Mea and other things that I just haven't had time to give him the attention that he deserves. Well on Saturday it was Jacks day, it was full of loves, and treats, and walks, and he even got to go to the spa. When he got home he was a new man, he was running all over the place and loving life.
4th of July
Sorry not very many pictures, I don't know why but I didn't take any. This year we went with my family to Palisades, usually it is so much fun, and it was fun this year as well but it rained almost the whole time we were there so we couldn't do much. Clay did get to go fishing a few times but we couldn't go play on the resivoir because it was to cold. We went 4-wheeling but again it was muddy and cold. Then we had to cut our camping trip short because Clay's uncle had passed away a few days earilier and his veiwing and funeral was on Sunday and Monday. So we got home from camping at like 1:00 am and then left for Utah at like 2:00 pm on Sunday. So it was a busy weekend for us with lots of driving, Mea did pretty good with all the driving though, after a few hours she was done and ready to get out of her car seat and crawl and play.
Cousin Pictures
Clay's sister and her family came down to get their family pictures taken and while they were here we got all the girls pictures taken together. They turned our pretty cute, it was quite the sturggle to get three little girls to all hold still and smile at the same time. But I'm so glad that they came down and we had so much fun with them here.

So we took an emergency bath! haha!

Great Savings!!!!
Coupon Savings
Lately I have started savings the coupons from the sunday paper, and I get a lot of them online. Some of you have asked me if I really am saving money, at first I really wasn't sure if it was worth it or not. But now I am getting the hang of it and the answer if YES, YES, YES! This past week I have gotten some great deals.
Does it take a lot of work? YES!
Does it take being very organized? YES!
Is it a little annoying? YES!
But is it fun? YES in a weird way, I love feeling like I have gotten a good deal on something!
So I will continue trying the coupons out, I think it is saving me $$$$, especially in the long run, my food storage has doubled in the past month!
Walgreens
The Softsoap was $3.99 then you got a RR (register rewards) for a free softsoap so they were $2.00 each!
The Edge Shaving Gel was $2.99 then you got a RR for $3.00 off your next purchase so it was FREE!
The Skintimat Shaving Gel was the same deal as the Edge FREE!
The Chapstick was $1.99 then you got a RR for $2.00 making it FREE!
The halls coughdrops were $1.99 then I had a walgreens coupon making them $1.39, then I had a manufactures coupon for $1.00 off so that made them $0.39 each!
The Renyolds Wrap was $1.59 - Walgreens coupon made them $0.89 each then I had a coupon for $1.00 so that made them $0.56 each!
The razor was $12.49 - Walgreens coupon made it $10.49 then I had a manufactures coupon for $2.00 off so the razor was $8.49. This isn't the best deal ever but Clay needed a new razor :).
The Tuff garbage bags were $5.00 not the best deal but pretty good and in needed garbage bags!
So the trick is doing multiple transactions so you can use your RR's. I still have $5.00 in RR's that I haven't used yet, so maybe next week!
Walmart
The Kraft salad dressing was on sale for $1.59 then I had a coupon for $1.50 of so $0.09 each, WOW great deal!
The Maricle Whip was 2 for $6.00 then I had a coupon for $0.50 off so that made them $2.50, ok deal!
Huggies diapers Jumbo pack normally $11.00 I had a coupon for $5.00 off so $6.00 each, WOW again!
Huggies wipes normally $6.19 I had a coupon for $3.00 off so $3.19 each, WOW!
Albertsons
The Post cereal was $1.67 each then I had a coupon for $0.50 off each making them $1.17 then I got a RR for $5.00 off my next purchase making it $0.34 each! I love honey bunches of oats!
The rest were 10 for $10 so I bought 10 items total. I had a coupon for $0.27 off each Dole item and I had a coupon for $0.50 off each toothbrush, and I had a coupon for Buy one get one free for the Glade so total it was $6.95.
