Elementary School----check!

Wow! I can not tell you how fast Elementary school went by! It is so crazy to think that my baby girl is going into Middle School in a just a couple of months! And just think....I'm not even CLOSE to being done! I get to do the whole elementary school adventure all over again in 4 more years!
Aron has been getting so stinkin' big! He is walking and talking--or trying--Ha! ha!--and this kid LOVES books and Little People!
Anyhow, here is a recent video of him trying out his new sandals!





This kid makes the funniest faces I've ever seen! He must be a "Jim Carrey" in the making!

Hello Everyone!

I have just been busy, busy, busy! My savings blog is just so much fun! I'm so addicted!

On the homefront- I can't believe Aron is 14 months old already!! Where in the world does the time go?! Wasn't I JUST pregnant with him??!
He is walking now. Which is "fun". This is ALL he ever wants to do!!
Well, he also LOVES to snuggle with mommy! I LOVE IT! Alex was never a big snuggler, so I am just eating it up!
He learned how to give kisses, so of course we captured it on camera!


And, here is a picture of my BIG boy! He was fresh out of the bath in this picture (no, I don't just let him run around the house all day in his diaper!)


Also, I am...er...I mean Alex is preparing for middle school this September!
We have a summer choc-ful-of business! Alex is going to Camp Hydaway for the last year :( She is also going to our church camp and to Girl Scout camp. Very sad. Her last summer as a "kid".

I'll be updating more frequently on here. I've gotten really bad about that lately!

Whew!

So, how glad are you that THIS GUY isn't your American Idol?!?!
What a sigh of relief, although I still think Danny Gokey should have won. I can't believe how much the judges pushed and praised this guy!!!! If he would have won, I could never allow myself or my children to watch that show again. Aside from him being a HORRIBLE singer (FYI, Adam- Screaming is not singing!), he is a terrible role model for children (which, by the way, is a huge portion of the audience of this show)!

So, rock on Kris Allen! He did a great job!

Cheesiest show......ever!

My daughter is your typical "tween". She loves the Jonas Brothers....commonly known as "Jonai". Anyhow, they have a new tv show on Disney and it has to be absolutely the CHEESIEST thing I have ever seen! I mean, just going to the website should give you a clue! "The brothers that ROCK together, ROLL together"....isn't that sweet?! Pardon my sarcasm.
As I'm sitting here at the computer, my daughter is over there watching this junk. From what I can hear, the three brothers all like this one girl who works at a pizza place.
Of course, what would a Jonas Brother show be without their music? Yep, that's right. Now they are singing a song "I fell in love with the pizza girl and now I eat pizza every day"...
I am NOT making this up! This is the worst thing ever....yet....I can't look away.......

Nothing new

Well, this isn't an exciting post. Nothing really new to report. I've just been busy, busy, busy with my other savings blog www.bargainnoble.blogspot.com

I have had time to tune in and watch American Idol and Lost, however.
On American Idol----Adam Lambert??! Seriously??! He is so nasty.
It's so overly obvious that American Idol WANTS him to win! Last week when Katy Perry (I can't stand her either) sang live on the show, her "superwoman" cape had "Adam Lambert" embroidered on the back! WHAT?! Is that even allowed??!
Also, how in the WORLD is Danny Gokey not in the finals? Kris is good, but he is no Danny Gokey.
Whew! I just had to get that off my chest!

Lost- I was REALLY hoping for more answers in the season finale. I found out who Jacob was, finally. Even though he died so easily by Ben stabbing him.
I find this whole Jacob scenario so much like the Bible story of Jacob and Esau. My theory is that is who the other guy is that was on the island with Jacob originally. I remember him saying "Do you know how bad I want to kill you right now?" That was very much the feeling Esau had toward Jacob when Jacob stole his birth right. I think that the show is somehow insinuating that the new "Locke" has come back as "Esau" and convinced Ben to kill Jacob.
Although, Esau didn't kill Jacob in the Bible....but still.....it's just so similar...

Anyhow, that's just my take on it!

I know it's been a while!

Whew! Have I been busy!
In case you haven' heard, I have been crazy busy with my other new blog, Bargain Noble!
I haven't had time to update this blog, but hang with me! I'm still kind of new to this savings thing!
Aside from saving money, I have been having so much fun with Aron!
He is really starting to show his personality and it's so darn cute!
Alex is really enjoying it too....



Aron is STILL not walking, but he is getting there. Here is a video of him after his bath in his crib being brave and taking his first two steps! I still can't believe I got this on camera!
He gets so excited that it sounds like he says "I DID IT!"
Just listen......

Bargain Noble!

Yep! You can remember the name easy because it's like the book store!
I am proud to present to you the newest savings blog on the internet!
I plan on keeping it pretty exclusive to the Richmond area, but many of the stores we have here are all over the USA, so it could really benefit a lot of people!
Come on over and check it out!
