I am opening an Etsy Shop! (in the near future)

Alright, so I think I am finally going to open a shop on etsy and see how I do. These are the different hair flowers I have decided to sell. Each of them can attach to a head band or can be worn seperately. Sorry the pictures are very low quality - i am a lame picture taker. Once I get up to Canada to see the family, my sis-in-law is going to help take some great photos of these.

Ok, now on to pacifier clips. These are a few of the ones for boys (have a few more to add to the collection)

Some of the girl's clips.

I would love any feedback/advice about what you think. Which are your favorites? Price? Anything, just need some help. thanks!

extreme couponing

Just got back from CVS. I spent $1.62 out of pocket and got all of this (I had about 8 coupons mind you). love it!

Playdate, P.J's, and the Splash Park

A couple of weeks ago, Jax and I went over to my friend V's house for a playdate. We had a good time playing outside, sliding down the couch, and watching mickey mouse.

Trying to get Jax to sit on the swing to get a picture with his mommy.
Riding their toy bike
Jax with his friends Sefa & Nia. He is sure going to miss them when we move in a few short weeks!

V has a little 2 month old baby, and Jax kept trying to get into the baby's swing. silly kid.

Jax has been needing new PJ's for a while now. Well, I finally found some and I think they are just perfect for Jax. They say "sleep is for humans."

The next morning, this is what I found....

guess he didn't want to wear pants.

Yesterday we went to the splash park with a bunch of friends from the ward. Jax had fun playing in the water and sneaking off to the playground.

I am going to miss these ladies!

July 4th

We had a really fun and busy July 4th. First we had our friends over for a pool party/grilled lunch. It was super yummy and fun to play cards with them. For some reason I was silly and forgot to take any photos. oops. Then we went to our other friends house for a pool party in the backyard, which was also fun.

This is Jax and I sporting our patriotic attire.The patriotic food I made for our first pool/lunch party. Over at the Markham's house. This is Jaxson's friend, Bradley (nickname is Boo). Jaxson actually learned how to say his name on the drive over to their house. These kids are funny and quite energetic! Jaxson modeling in the pool.Splashing around with Cohen

Eating some dinner

Playing with the Independence Day sing-a-ma-jig animal. I LOVE shopping the day after a holiday because there are amazing deals. This toy was normally $12 and I got it for $.50!! score!

Odds n' Ends

I am not gonna lie, I haven't been taking a lot of photos lately. The main reason is because we don't have a great camera right now. Our nice waterproof one died while we were in Hawaii and we haven't looking into purchasing a new one yet. So these are just some random photos we have taken the last few weeks.

Ry and Jaxson love eating chips and salsa. This is a daily occurance that I am ok with because they both get veggies that way :)

He loves his salsa.Jax loves rolling around and playing in the covers in our bed. One time we pulled him out, and I guess he was laughing so hard he snotted himself. Somehow he attached booger from his nose to his eyebrow. impressive.Lunch time. I guess the food I gave him was really boring?we finally got a small bit of rain (we are in a drought). I was on our porch (3rd floor) and took some photos of Ryan and Jax playing in the puddles. Oh ya, and Jax got a hair cut!Another daily occurence for Jax. He loves his mickey mouse club house! the life. chilling, watching tv, getting fed .... So my one of my latest hobbies is couponing. Unfortunatley, here in Texas you can't really get good grocery couponing. There is only 1 store here in Austin that doubles/triples coupons and their prices are so high, it is not worth it. But the nice thing, I can still coupon for tolitries at CVS/Walgreens. Here are my spoiles for the week.

2 Packages of huggies, 2 pantene conditioners, 3 dove shampoos, 2 dove mens face/body wash, and twizzlers, all for ..... 16.48. but I also have a $2 off coupon from this transaction that I haven't used yet, so I guess its more like $14.48. Not bad considering the huggies themselves wereon sale for $9 each per pack.4 tubes of tylenol cream (which is one of the most amazing inventions ever. feels so good on sore muscles!), 2 pks of liners, 3 jellos for ...... $4.16. Each tylenol itselt was supposed to be 7.99. heck ya!
