I (Heart) Smith's Case Sale

So, I'm not the most thrifty person normally. I do shop the sales at the grocery stores and the clearance racks for my kids clothes (not so much for Tim and I), but I was really proud of myself for FINALLY making it to the Smith's case sale this time and on the FIRST day! Tim, Emmit and I ran up to Reno just to go to Smith's and we were very happy we did it! Here is what we got:

40 lbs of flour

40 lbs of sugar

24 cans of Tomato Soup

24 cans of Cream of Chicken

12 cans of all white canned chicken

36 cans of grean beans

24 cans of corn (we usually freeze corn, but we didn't have enough this year)

6 bottles of creamy peanut butter

24 cans of chicken broth

9-48oz bottles of vegitable oil

All for a total of $142 and some cents!!

Pictures and Update

Kylan wanted to take a picture of Mya and I. Not so cute of me, but cute of Mya girl!
Ky and Mya in some of their new fall clothes today. Grandma and I got them some clothes for the fall/winter while we were birthday shopping yesterday with the girls and my kids insisted on wearing them today.

Modeling their new shoes this morning. Mya also is in her new princess nightgown. She insisted on wearing her shoes last night until she went to bed, and then wanted them back on as soon as she got up today!

Emmit in his church clothes on Sunday and 3 weeks old. Isn't he so precious! He is such a great baby, I am very lucky to have 3 great kids! Now I have to go get Mya out of bed and I'm sure Emmit will be awake soon also so here is the quick update:

Emmit has gained over a pound since he was born, Mya is starting to talk more (yay), Kylan is as busy as ever and I turned 28 on Saturday. We are doing great!

My Brother is the Best!

These may be blurry on here because I took them off of facebook, but trust me, Kade did an amazing job with these! I can't wait until we do family pictures, because I'm sure they are going to look great! Kade does an amazing job, and he will be here in Fallon through December, is cheap and only charges if you like the pictures, so if you need pics done please let me know and I will get you in touch with him!!!

Emmit's Blessing

Us with Grandma Kenna and Grandpa Donald and Mya (who loves her grandpa's, or "pompa" as she calls them)

We blessed Emmit at our house on Sunday because all my brothers were in town and wouldn't be here on the first Sunday in September. Tim gave him a beautiful blessing and afterwards we had a lot of fun eating and visiting with the family. Poor Emmit is obviously the third child. Rayanne had to remind me to put him in his blessing outfit and she actually changed him for me (thank you Rayanne), we didn't get a picture of our whole family and really I have hardly taken any pictures of him period! He is really such a great baby and we feel very blessed to have him. He was way more layed back than our other two children are, and because of that I don't think it has been too bad of an adjustment going from two to three, of course he is still immobile, so that may change at some point, but so far I have loved having three kids!

Family

Yesterday when we blessed Emmit (pics coming soon), my grandpa Adams brought over a photo album from their house with a whole bunch of baby pics of me and my brothers and my mom, so I decided to scan some of them this morning before I give it back. Here are my favorites:

This has always been my favorite picture of my brothers when they were little. Aren't they so cute!
My mom at about 5 months. Isn't she so cute!

And this is me at about 16 months. This pic is on the front of the album and my grandpa brought it over saying that he had found a picture of Mya. I knew that we looked similar but I was even surprised at how much she and I look alike!
