I think Layla is comfortable

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Now that Layla has moved back into the house and settled in she's found a nice comfy place to sleep at night. Before we go to bed we tuck her in with Piper and I don't think she's even woken Piper up, from what I can tell Piper wakes up in the morning and is surprised she's there and just loves it!

Happy Birthday Piper

Tuesday, January 20, 2009







Wow - where have the past 4 years gone? Our first baby is 4 today. She woke up to a pile of presents and requested a pancake breakfast. At school today I got to join in the celebration, they have about 15 minutes of picture sharing and a chance to show off their Mom's/Dad's. We celebrated her Birthday with Grandma Mary, Papa Miller and Jill, Papa Lonny and Grandma Robin, and Bill and Niki and Claire on Saturday but we will do something fun tonight as well.

I'm at it again.....

I wasn't making any new friends at the checkout lane at Cub Foods this evening but oh well, I saved $80.68 on my groceries this evening, well I still have an additional $15 off my next grocery purchase so $95.68 total savings. They are having really great deals on cereal/diapers/wipes this week and with my additional coupons I got 15 boxes of cereal and 1 cake mix for $10.10, I saved $44.40 on cereal. Yes, I have to store 15 boxes of cereal but it will be gone within 2 months (it lasts forever anyways) and it's hard to resist paying $.63 per box instead of $3.55 per box. For the diapers and wipes I got 4 double packages of wipe refills and 1 package of diapers and a cake mix (filler item) for $14.21. Normally the individual wipes are around $2.50-$2.99 and the diapers are $9.99 each. Call me crazy but I love a good deal.


The end of the Florida pictures

Out of order again but here we'll start with some fishing photos, Jason caught one little trout and a gull, as in seagull. The little fellow was all caught up in the line but he was lucky, they got him free and off he went.




whoa - not sure if that would feed all of us for dinner



this is so cute!


I wish Reagan would smile but when Piper has a hold of her the first instinct she has is to scream





this is me hard at play on the computer, the wi-fi would only come in at the edge of the lanai or in the yard





Reagan was just afloat in the pool, of course someone was always within reach but she was pretty brave







she was fearless however when it came to jumping in, we had to keep a very close eye on her while anyone was in the pool, she would just walk over and jump








Clayton after his hair cut





and before









Reagan napping on the boat











I really love my camera, I got some pretty good shots










Reagan running down the beach, she was so funny, she reminded me of Piper, she had to make eye contact with everyone we passed and make sure they noticed her












Piper and I were having a moment of running on the beach towards each other













Piper and Jason were jumping the waves. They actually went in pretty far, the water was the warmest I've felt it, Jason dove in and floated back to shore a few times































who does Piper look like?
