Easter
For Easter this year we went out to Grandma Lanpher's house and had an egg hunt. The kids had a great time. Jackson got a ton of eggs and ate way too much candy, and Duke was just happy to be outside with his family. At one point in the evening we had races. Josh and Travis tied. Gage beat Papa. Jackson beat Daddy. It was great. As Grandma would say, "Good food and good company." Happy Easter!

Buckle Up!
Okay so I know that I posted a while ago how great coupon sense was but...I had another absolutely amazing trip! It is so easy to get a years supply of food with coupons! On this trip I spent out of pocket $9.54 and then got a $4.00 back so total all this cost me $5.54!In case you can't see everything, I got
7 boxes of Fruit Roll Ups
5 boxes of Gushers
3 bags of Nut Clusters
2 boxes of Granola Bars
12 boxes of pasta
6 jars of salad dressing
22 boxes of cereal
I was on a high when I left the store. I had to call my fellow coupons friends and brag about how well I did. Ahhhhhhhhhh! I LOVE COUPONS!!!

Random Things I love
Picture:
This was taken about a year ago when I was pregnant with Duke. I LOVE IT! I feel so much love when I look at it. I love our little family.
Cleaning Product:
Now as most of you know I am not known for my awesome housekeeping skills. I pretty much want everything clean but I don't want to have to work hard to get it that way. (Makes sense, huh?) So a few weeks ago I tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. OH MY GOSH!!! A-MA-ZING!!! It takes the hard work out of cleaning, and works on everything. Hard water, no problem, crayons on walls, yeap, stove tops, for-sure! It is just awesome, I now use it everywhere in my house. Get one.
Hair Product:
This is a clip less Enzo Milano curling iron. It does for curls what the CHI does for straight hair. I can do my hair with this on a Monday and it still look fabulous on Wednesday. (Yes, I try to go as long as I can without washing my hair or shaving my legs.) What this curling iron does the best is big waves. This puppy will put you back about $100 BUT they have a lifetime warranty and I guarantee that you will never use another curling iron again.
Book:
Okay, let me be clear this is not my favorite book of all time, but it was definitely the most entertaining book I have read in a long time. It is a series of three books, and let me tell you it is not for those with a weak stomach. Like the Twilight series I would have never picked it up with out a recommendation from a friend. I don't think I have ever read a book so fast. This book makes you think, makes you a little sick, and makes you uncomfortable, (which sounds horrible), but you CAN NOT put it down. It is supposed to be a juvenile read but I can say I would never let my child read it until they were 16 or 17. Wow, I am not making this book sound very good, but it is. Give it a try and you will get sucked in. Just watch out the third book is not out until August and you will be left waiting like me. AHHH! I just want to know what happens!
Clothing:
Obviously no picture here...
The new garment bottoms. No wedgies, come all the way to the knee-and stay in place. It feels like you are wearing a soft pair of biker shorts. LOVE THEM! Good job Beehive Clothing. Good job.
Baby Product:
This is a tie.
First, I love the Gerber Bitter Biscuits. When I am making dinner I just throw Duke in to the high chair with a biscuit and he is entertained for a hour! The only problem with these is that once they get them all soft with their slobber it gets all over the place. In general this wouldn't be a big deal but this stuff is like cement. I usually have to soak Duke in the tub for 10 minuets before I can even attempt to wipe it off.
Second, this is a Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispenser. All you do is put the baby food in and squeeze the orange part and just a little of the food will flow out on to the spoon. This way the baby stays soooooo much cleaner. (And as mentioned before, I do not like to clean.) Not really a necessity but it is nice to have.
Drink:
Now this one is a little harder to admit. But I am a freak! I am truly addicted. It is hard to go just one day without a can. I like it the best from a fountain. The only thing that is bad about our new house is that we are right down the street from a Quick Trip. Between the crushed ice and the delicious soda...ahhhh. It is a rare day that I can drive by without stopping in.
Music:
What music? I have not listened to music for about a year. All I listen to is KTAR. In the car, in the shower, while I am cooking dinner. I just can not get enough! In the morning Ankarlo, then Gleen Beck in the afternoon, at three Mac & Gaydos (they are my favorite), and then Joe Crumy. I even have called in and gotten on the air. I have really started to love politics. Maybe it is because even me, who was put on a strict budget by my husband for constantly spending, could spend money better than Obama is doing now!

Dinner Time
We took a few videos the other night at dinner time. Josh and I were having tacos, Jackson was just eating the cheese, and Duke was "eating" peas. Enjoy!
