Mindy

Did you survive last night?? (You too laur) Anything new going on? Mindy that picture of jaxen is really cute. Donna, I'll give you a shout out and say I love you! Call me sometime. Becky...what's new with little aaron? Can we get a picture please?

A little Jaxy cuteness!

It's been a while since I posted Jaxen pictures, I took these today he's almost got 6 teeth now! I was going to take some of all the kids tonight, but Saige fell off of the clubhouse Brigham is building, quite a fall. She hit her head and threw up, she had a headache for a little while but seems to be doing better now. Poor thing. Her pupils look fine and her headache is gone now, so I don't think it's too serious. Laramie isn't around to question, what would you all do at this point?

Taking out an add in the Idaho Falls paper... ATTEN all robers and scarey people Mindy is home by alone!

Love you Mindy good luck with the 7 kids on your own! I will be saying a prayer for you :)

Little things make me so happy!

Got to brag a little bit! Today I bought
2 bags of Hershey Kisses (2.00 off coupon)
6 boxes of Ritz Crackers (3 1.00 off coupons)
3 Betty Crocker Frostings (3 .55 cent off coupons)
5 Bisquick (5 .60 off coupons)
4 Kelloggs fruit Rollups (no coupons)
4 bags of Kelloggs cookies (no coupons)
2 boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats (no coupons)
1 Gerber Sippy cup (cost 5.00, no coupons)
3 Green Giant bags of Frozen steamable vegetables (no coupons)
6 cans of Old El paso Refried beans (no coupons)
1 box of Jello Pudding
Total before coupons was 73.00
I had 2 10% off Albertsons store coupons
and a save $10.00 off of your next shopping order
So total after coupons and saving was $33.55 cents

I bought 37 items and 3.03 was tax so essentially I paid .90 cents an item! But wait, it gets better! After I paid I got a coupon for 2 free movie tickets, I went online and registered and printed them all ready, my local theater takes them and Brig and I are going on a date tonight anyways, so that saved us $24.00 and I got another Coupon for 3.00 off of my next order of meat at Albertsons, so I came away with paying essetially $7.00 for all that food!!!! Coupons ROCK!!!!

Brig only got a 1% raise last year and they put a raise increase freeze on him this year and he is already being paid WAY less then he should be. The Human Resources person there at work realizes this and has promised to make sure he got up to par with what he should be paid, but with the economy where it's at those promises are out the window, so I feel really really grateful that Heavenly Father has helped me find ways to save our family money on our biggest expense, food! I love you guys and miss you all terribly!

Pizza Casserole

Just wanting to know what sauce you guys use for Pizza Casserole? I only made it once and it sucked. Just thinking it might be a good meal to feed four families, easy peasy. Bueller?

House is clean, FINALLY!

I kicked it in gear yesterday and got my house clean for the appraiser. He came through, looked through everything! Closets (Which were messy!), etc. and even took pictures. We are getting a lower interest rate on our home to lower our monthly cost. I'm so tired, but proud of myself for getting it done and find myself wanting to keep it up. It looks so nice when it's clean. I'll let you all know what it appraises for. We bought it for 180,000, I wonder if it will be low because of the economy and because the way the kids have been hard on it. The kids didn't practice there piano, or do their homework, but they helped me clean. Priorities folks, feeling a little guilty about that. Now it's 11:30 a.m. and I'm still wired, it's hard to stop when I've been in go mode all day.

Anyone want to come stay with me this next week? Brig is going out of town and I don't want to have to make anymore false calls to 911! Love you girls,

Mindy
