thinking about buying a living cow after this post...

Since I stopped working doing hair AND working with my wonderful old guy... and a new baby due July 17 is the set date for my c-section:-) i have been looking for ways to cut a few costs around the house...sadly the first is eating out:-( this is my weakness...i LOVE eating out! the other thing i had to cut was shopping..Target is a money trap..never get out without spending $50...with the two things that normally fill my day up gone I have been trying to do find things to do. Now there is my new calling, young women president..that keeps me BEYOND SUPER BUSY but mostly at night.  the other thing is finding simple ways to save money! Its actually become a game and something i enjoy!(here is the amazing site i get things from ( http://www.funcheaporfree.com/ ) the one i tried today was baking bread! .29 cents a loaf!(or pintrest says) compared to $2.50 for a crap loaf from Walmart!  it was super easy, and such a big savings for our family. I normally buy 2 loafs a week, that comes out to be about $20 a month... i think its worth it! Now if only i could have a cow in my back yard to cut our 20 gallons of milk a month budget...you read that right almost a gallon a day...Steve drinks sooo much milk...and now that i crave milk its only going up..ugh 3.09x20=alot for milk!

the good news is that i was asked if i would work 1 day a week with my favorite old guy:-) Ill be doing that until the end of May. I love that my boss calls me just to work random shifts, I swear im always asked at the right time! this could be the last time i can work for a long time! plus i love my old guy! he called me Christmas morning! seriously such an amazing man!

catch up....

Our house has been busier than ever! I feel like every day im falling behind more and more! The house seems to be the best example of this...my floors have not been moped(well until yesterday), toys filled the house, and dog food scattered in every corner! Yesterday when Steve came home he stopped at the front door and said "Oh my gosh, the house looks good". You know its bad when Steve says something about it.... Im catching up little by little...the laundry wont be done until Tuesday though...our washer finally stopped working..sad day BUT that means I got to pick out a beautiful new set:-) and they come on Tuesday!! I cant wait!

Christmas this year was kinda a bust...Christmas eve eve I had the flu, Christmas Eve we spent in the Emergency room with khloe... but Christmas day was amazing. My grandparents came all the way from Logan to spend it with Khloe! Some of my fondest memories is having my Grandpa show up at our door step Christmas eve he would always say "we finished making the toys early, Santa said hello" He is an elf for the north pole you know;-) (yes i believed this for way to long) so it was such a fun day sharing my memories with Khloe!

these are just a couple of my favorite pictures from the past couple of months...
I wish this chair wasn't $150...I love it!



 the backwards diaper! 
My dad who is just the most amazing person ever, dropped going to work for the day, drove to my house and watch khloe for 4 hours(it seems like everyone i know had the flu that day)! He changed her diaper and this is how it ended up:-) it made me so incredibly happy to know that Khloe is this loved! most would just say "ill wait till mom gets home to change you"
