So I did it. After the Albertsons ad came out this week I knew it was going to be a good week for coupons. I have been saving some I clip from the sunday paper and I decided this was the week I'd really try to stock up on some of those things that were on sale. So I went to www.pinchingyourpennies.com and found the Albertsons ad for Idaho this week and hit the jackpot. I printed off about 14 or so more coupons (each one you print twice) thanks to that website linking me to manufacture's coupons around the web. What was my result?
8 boxes of cereal
3 betty crocker frostings
3 cookie mixes
6 boxes of different granola bars (we LOVE the fiber one chocolate bars...$0.20 each thanks)
3 boxes of brownies (one of those the "warm delights"...we'll see about that)
2 boxes South Beach cereal bars
2 egg beaters
What was my total? $30.35
What was my savings? 91.59

Happy Easter
This year I REALLY slacked on taking Easter pictures! I didn't get any of our inside easter egg hunt (it was drizzling all day) and I didn't get the boys new Easter outfits like I do every year. I did manage to get a few snapshots after church today. By a few, I mean like 5 pictures total. So I feel lucky there are even any to post. The kids were not cooperating and Jane gave me one good smile and that was about it. Oh well!
The picture doesn't do this little dress justice. It has little flowers and sequins all layered into it. It really is darling. This was my absolute favorite baby gift! I've been waiting for it to fit!
My boys are getting so old! It's sad, but fun at the same time. Cameron is starting to LOVE reading and just gets books and sits and reads on the couch without me asking! WOW! I'll have to take a picture of that one!

The Most Magical Place on Earth
Disneyland!!!
Jane got glasses. Isn't she cute! Actually, these are my niece, Marlee's glasses. I just thought jane was cute!
I wasn't sure how it would be with an 18 month old at Disneyland but it was actually awesome! We got stroller passes at every ride so after Tom took them, I got to go and take them again since I waited with Jane! She was a trooper, napping in the stroller, waiting in lines. She really just loved all the attention from cousins and had a blast! 
Our favorite ride (it was 80 degrees that day) in California Adventure...Grizzly rapids. Here is a before...
And here is the after...
My favorite rides were the Pirates of the Carribean, and this one...Indiana Jones! They were AMAZING! All the animated people. The kids kept asking me if they were real people. (Just a note on the Indiana Jones ride...Braden tried to get on but they measured him right before. He even got on his tippy toes and they ALMOST let him on till another worker came over and said "Hey, I think he's on his toes". It was SO funny! Poor kid really wanted to go. I guess there's next time!
Can you believe it? I couldn't come all the way to disneyland and not get at least 1 picture with a character. So I did it. I waited in line for at least 25 minutes with braden and Jane while the others were waiting for a ride and I got my Mickey picture.
You had better believe this will be a tradition in our family... Disneyland at least every other year!
What a blast! It was our first family trip to Disneyland and MY first time as well! And it really was amazing. I loved it way more than I thought I would. Everything was just so well done and clean and just magical! Did I mention I loved it? My kids did too!
We went with my brother & sister-in-law, Greg and Whitney, and their 3 kids. We couldn't have asked for better guides! We enjoyed all the best rides, got fast passes, stroller passes, and really got to see as much as we could in the 2 days we were there. We partied as long as we could and then crashed every night!

We all loved the Bugs life movie and activities!

After Disneyland we visited the beach and the kids loved it! Who doesn't love the beach? It was 75 and sunny. Absolute heaven if you ask me!
After the beach we drove to Las Vegas where we visited with my family for 6 days. It was one of the best times I've ever had visiting vegas. My kids just bonded with their cousins, Jane LOVED the little girl cousins! We had 2 birthday parties, 1 baby blessing, 1 baby shower...it was just a big party! I'll have to post other pictures later. My mom took a bunch and I have to get them. I love my sisters (& brothers) & in-laws and really just wish they'd all move to Coeur d'Alene by me!!! Thanks guys, it was an amazing trip!
