Camping and Josh's Birthday!!

We went camping with some of our friends and had a fun time!! We didn't take any babies with us. I think we should do a trip with them sometime. But I'm glad we didn't' take them this time because it was FREEZING!!! I slept maybe 2 hours that night. It was horrible! Not to mention some noisy campers just arriving at 1:00 am!

This is a Picture of Josh on his Birthday. We left on Saturday to go camping and Sunday was his birthday! :) We came home Sunday night and I made him Cheese Steak. (Its what he wanted. I think it is his new favorite!)

I don't know if you can see him, but there was the cutest little chipmunk that kept eating our muffins! He was adorable!

We had smores of course! and hobo dinners (a tradition in my family) But we also ventured in new directions with dutch oven pizza and breakfast burritos. We learned a few things from our camping trip too. Like.....a shovel IS necessary when camping. Also....Jackets or sweaters (Josh and I didn't bring any cause I was afraid to go back, not wanting to disrupt the babies and say goodbyes again). Dutch oven Pizza doesn't take that long to cool. We blackened one and then made another (5 or 10 min) and it was perfect.

Awesome deals!!

Ok. So I had a good day!!! I got some awesome deals and I thought I would share just in case there was anyone else out there who had some of the same coupons. And I was just so excited about them that I wanted to share. I want to do the whole couponsense thing, but can't really afford it, So I've just been trying to wing it on my own, with a little help from some other blogs.

Old Navy has an additional 50% off all of their clearance until Saturday I think. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten them, but it was such a good deal, I couldn't help myself!! I got a shirt ($0.75) for Brent, a hat ($0.97) and some lounge pants ($1.74 ) for D. Good quality items for much less than I could have gotten them at walmart for.

I had some Air wick coupons from the 9/13 paper and while I was in Target I saw that they had some of the items on sale!

Fun at work with Grandpa!

We stopped by to see Grandpa the other day. Brent has so much fun with him :) He loves to push buttons on the adding machine, hearing the noise and watching the paper move. He found the fax maching and started talking on the phone.

At one point he figured out that if he used two hands it made even more noise and the paper went even faster :)

There were a few times when Grandpa was trying to show him something else or I was talking to him, and he would look, but his little finger kept right on punching! It was the funniest thing :)

Sour Cream? Or Lotion?

So Yesterday I made Brent a burrito for dinner and, since we had some, I put a little bit of sour cream next to it. Later I look over and he is rubbing it all over his hands like it is lotion. I wiped off his hands and tried to explain to him that it wasn't lotion, but food. I went to change D's diaper or something and I come back to find Brent just COVERED in sour cream. Its all over his face, his forehead is covered and his hair was just a mess!! I never dreamed that it would end up this bad!!! I didn't even put very much on his plate, I don't' know how he managed to make it go so far. But he really had fun with it. That is until it started to dry :) Then it really started to bother him. Especially his hair. Needless to say, he had a bath that night. The pictures really don't do it justice either.

A trip to Mt. Grahm With the boys!

We always talk about making another trip to Thatcher, but that spontaneous trip has never happened. Until Yesterday! Josh doesn't work on Mondays and so that morning we decided to just pack up the boys and some lunch and head to the mountain! It was an interesting trip. The boys actually interacted with each other a bit on the way up. Brent would laugh at what Derrick was doing with his tongue and some of the noises that he was making and then Derrick would laugh too because Brent was laughing. Then after a while Derrick fell asleep and Brent was starting to get sleepy, but was having a hard time going to sleep so he got frustrated and started to cry. That woke D up and then we had two crying babies. Brent would cry hard and then Derrick would cry even harder. Josh and I just looked at each other and kind of laughed. They laugh and Cry together :)

We finally got there after a few delays (like road construction and string cheese stops-for Brent) He had fun, barely ate and then found a stick! Just like a boy.

This is him closing his eyes so that Daddy can't see him to change his diaper. He also does this when it is time for bed or brushing his teeth.

And after all that fun, Both of the boys were out!

D is on my lap, but didn't make it into this pic :(

I like that we got a pic with all of us....I just wish I had worn something not so grungy, yuck!
