I am officially famous in Fernley...Well at least at Walmart

So Trevor comes home for lunch today and tells me a lady at his work that I told about my favorite blog hip2save.com, had a little story about me from Walmart. She went in with her coupons and as she's checking out the checker mentions wow, you have a bunch of coupons...(I guess she knew the checker and never had used coupons before.) Anyway, she tells the checker the wife of a guy she works with told her about this website. The checker asks "does she have curly hair and two little blonde girls?" The woman responds "Yes." The checker proceeds to tell her wow you should SEE her coupon binder!!! Yep, it is official I am known around Walmart as the coupon FREEK! But hey I get good deals and that is all the matters, Right?

I do have to say my coupon binder is big!

the Card bad hair day

Trevor and Felicity found Trevor's mullet in the garage and we couldn't resist...I'm still laughing. I think the best was Alexia. She screamed the entire time we put it on her!

Trevor is pretty creapy in the pic. I definately would cross the street if I saw him coming towards me!!!

Another shopping trip!

My Smiths Trip. I spent $21 on all this!


Walgreens trips (What a pain but worth it!) $4.50


Target trip $5.55 yeah that is right $5.55




My free 25 prints from walgreens




This is how excited Felicity is about couponing!!



This couponing trip was not for the faint of heart. I ran into town with Alexia for some stuff for the primary carnival on Saturday and figured while I was in town I might as well go shopping at a few of my favorite stores for deals. My target trip was great. The coupons beeped but she still approved them and I gave her a TON of coupons. The walgreens trip was a NIGHTMARE!!! The checker was NOT helpful and I had my whole plan together but it didn't work out. I am on the floor with Alexia crawling around in Walgreens reorganizing my coupons to get the good deal. I would NOT advise a beginner couponer to do this...I was confused and flustered and even sweating(HAHAH)! So I left the first walgreens and went to a different one about 2 miles away and had a way more pleasant experience!!! Some days it is worth it and some days it definately is NOT worth it. Today was frustrating but when I got home and saw what I got for so little I realized it definately was worth it!
I know I'm a geek but I had to share.

Some random pics from the summer

Our little family


Grandma and Grandpa come to visit


Making yummy brownies with daddy


Playing in the sandbox


Everyone attack daddy! The girls love it when daddy gets home from work. Alexia has started bouncing up and down and squealing every time Trevor walks in the door from work. It is so cute to watch them with their daddy!

My sleeping babies

There is something so angelic about a child sleeping. No matter how crazy the kids are and how bad of a day I am having, once they fall asleep...I just love them to pieces. They truly are so special to me. Our little angels(while they are sleeping of course).

June and July posts below

I am a total slacker and am super behind on my blogging. I will try to catchup over the next week but enjoy the old posts anyway!

Playgroup at the Johnson's

We had some friends come into town so we had an impromptu play group at the Johnson's house. This is a special treat for the kids. They love playing with Dolly, the dog, swinging, playing in the sand and whatever else there is to do. This is one of my favorite yards in all of Fernley with all of the huge trees and beautiful flowers. The other day we flew into Columbus Ohio and as we were landing I told Felicity to look outside at all of the trees. Her response was...Mommy we are by Marilyn's(Johnson) house! Not quite but I got a little giggle out of it.
