Extreme Couponing

So who is watching Extreme Couponing tomorrow night on TLC?  I’ve always been curious as to how people go to the store and save hundreds of dollars on groceries.  I mean how on earth do people get $300 worth of food for $12 or something like that???  I am really curious to see this show and how this process works. 

AND WHERE DO YOU STOCKPILE ALL THAT STUFF??? 
I’m imagining their homes probably look something like this….

 Crazy!!!  All this food could probably feed a third world country for an entire year!
Another random:
RueLaLa is having a sale on these babies right now. 
 I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zak! Designs kitchenware 🙂

Happy Tuesday 🙂
Also – go enter a great contest right now over at BlogHer to win a copy of Nothing To Wear Nothing To Wear? By Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo , & one lucky winner will be able to pick an item from the VT-Luxe line as a prize!  Good Luck!

Weekend Wrap Up

The weather has been in the 90’s already in Texas.  I guess we just skipped spring!  I am not the kind of person that likes to sweat at all.  I think 65 degrees would be perfect in my world.  Anyway – so what did we do this weekend???  Here it is:
 We played a lot with toys…
 We walked and walked and walked….
 Ate our weight in Mexican food….
 This cheese dip was SOOOOOO good!
 Ate some Mexican rice….
 We played at the park in the neighborhood…
 Dude loves to swing!
 And slide…

We also went to church.  Connor seems to be in the crying babies nursery.  He was fine when we dropped him off, then the second he saw EVERY.SINGLE.BABY was crying in his room he decided he needed to join in.  It was hilarious!  We watched a few movies on Vudu – which I LOVE!  We also had family dinner with Terence’s family on Sunday night!  That about sums up our weekend! How was yours?

A Bachelorette, A Birthday, and Vacation!

It was wiiiindy up on the rooftop!!!

This past weekend I attended a bachelorette party for Lauren, a co-worker and friend of mine.  The gals I work with are crazy and a lot of fun.  We had a great time and it was nice to get out and have a little girl time for this Momma 🙂

 This is the bachelorette Lauren

 I also wanted to remember Miss Arielle’s 1st birthday….

 Connor and Arielle spend every day during the week together and are very close.  They were born a day apart and are almost like twins.  We are so thankful for the time they get to spend together.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

The Year we all turned 30

Terence’s best friend since elementary school, Kyle, turned 30 tonight.  We celebrated dining on Kyle’s favorite food….Mexican.  Kyle has always been a very special friend to Terence, and I’m thankful that he has such a good friend!  Happy birthday Kyle we love ya!

 This picture was taken over 10 years ago at the lake by me 🙂 
A place you’ll see Kyle about 300 days out of the year!
Yes-they love each other what can I say??? ha.ha..
 Connor loves some Mexican rice!  It was finger licking good 😉
And 5 seconds later…..

 I had to take a picture of the back when I got home…it was HILARIOUS!

 Delicious cake
 We had a blast!  Thanks for having us (Kyle’s family) you are dear to us too!
It a couple months BOTH Terence & I will be 3-0!!!!
YIKES!!!

Rockin my Red Shoes

Connor got some new red shoes last weekend.  He thinks he is something else when he has big boy shoes on.  Now that he’s a walker and all (well sometimes).  I just wanted to snap a few photos for memories because he was looking so cute in his new shoes 🙂

Swing Momma?

Up Up Up

So sweet…I never want to forget him at this age. 

I love you sweet boy, even if you have been totally out of it because of the time change this week.  He’s not been wanting to go to sleep at night and when I wake him up in the mornings he is like a floppy bunny because he DOES not want to wake up.  Which makes Terence & I SO.TIRED.

Last night we visited Terence’s Granddaddy in the hospital.  He’s having another surgery on his head this week.  If you would keep our sweet Grandaddy in your prayers we would really appreciate it.  We love you Granddaddy!!!

GET WELL SOON!!!
