Grocery Coupon Trip!

I went to a class last week about saving your coupons and shopping smarter. It turns out that it really can work. We went to the store today, spent $30.45. And we figured our savings was probably around $45.00, if not more. Here's a picture of everything we bought!! I was so excited!!

Three Little Indians

Rob was outside cleaning up more branches and leaves from cutting down our trees the other day. Well, Colby got this brillant idea that he wanted to make a teepee. He started doing it by himself but it was too hard so he asked Rob if he would help him. Rob was kindof in a hurry so he told him that he didn't have enough branches to make a teepee and it wouldn't work. Colby got so sad and starting crying, "first you cut down my treehouse and now I can't make a teepee." It was so sad that of course Rob had to stop what he was doing to make him a teepee. He was so happy and helping him the entire time of course. Now they are running around the yard playing, "indians"... too cute!

Tylers First Day of Preschool

Tyler was so excited to start preschool with Ms. Amy!

But once he got there, he was really nervous! I had to sneak out of the room cause he would start wimpering everytime he thought I was going to leave.

This is his friend Lillie, once she got there he was a little less nervous! He said he loves that theres lot of girls in his class!

But his teacher said he did great! And he loved getting the bubbles when it was over. He said he wants to go back everyday. We'll see if he's this excited next time.

Labor Day Fun

We had a great weekend! We cut down some trees in our yard on Monday, the boys weren't too excited about that because we cut down their "treehouse". It really was just a small tree that they liked to hang on the branches. We want to put in a privacy fence next spring so we had to get rid of all the trees first. My parents came and helped us so it wasn't too bad.

Then we went swimming! We were afraid it was going to be too cold to swim but it turned out to be a really nice day!

Of course the boys had to play in their fort, they LOVE the new swingset my parents bought this year.

We acutally did this on Saturday... but they wanted to do one last smore feast before the weather gets too cold. They LOVE smores, and lets face it... so does everyone else!

Go Orange Fireballs!

So last year, Colby wasn't a big fan of playing soccer. Every time he had a game he would whine that he didn't like to run. Well, since soccer is pretty much running the whole time we asked him if he wanted to play again and he said no. As soon as he saw Bryan getting his uniform and practicing he was super bummed that he didn't play too. But a stroke of luck hit him!! Our friend Sarah is actually Bryans coach and one of the players switched leagues so she had an extra jersey. He was so excited that he got to play!! I was a little nervous with him playing on an older league especially if he didn't like to run, but he did AMAZING!! He was a little scrapper, totally stealing the ball away from all these older boys. He wasn't afraid of them squishing him like a bug like I was. I was so proud of him, he almost scored a goal too. Maybe next time.

And of course Bryan did great! He even scored a goal on the first game. You could tell he was excited but didn't want to show it. Apparently he's too big to give his parents thumbs up now when he scores!

Cherry Hill Fun!

I could't figure out how to get this post AFTER the camping one, so skip this one and read the camping post first, then you can come back to this one. :) The next day we went swimming there, it was so much fun! My boys love hanging out with their cousins!

This was one of ALL the boys favorite slides. Even Peyton loved it. Every time he would come down, he would just start walking back up the walkway. And if you would ask him where he's going, he's say, "again".

So much fun! Definitely returning next year!

Cherry Hill Camping

We always go camping at Cherry Hill every summer. This summer we were a little later, but still had just as much fun!

Peyton took this picture of me. . . if I'd have know he was going to actually point it at my face I probably would have tried to smile cuter!

LOVE MY BOYS!!!

They met some other boys and got a football game started. You could tell that the other boys were raised good, they kept making sure that everyone scored a touchdown, even Tyler and Peyton. Most boys that are older are only concerned about winning. But they made sure everyone was having fun. I hope my boys are just like them when they are older.

I kept wondering why Peyton was insisting on dragging his camping chair to our car, then I found out! I couldn't believe it. Where would he get an idea like that? He thought he was so funny.

Great times, great traditions!
