August 1 - August 7

This week just flew by. We got home late last night from 5 days of family-filled-fun! On with the pictures...

August 1st. We sang one of my favorite hymns in church today. (I took the picture when we got home.)



August 2nd. It's been a while since I've posted one of my great deals. I spent $1.08 on all this stuff! Plus...I got $4 back in rebates/store cash. I often get asked how I do this. For these items, it went like this: I combined coupons and store sales to get the pretzels for free. I combined coupons and store sales to get the gum free + there was extra change leftover from using the gum coupons which was used to go toward the spaghetti sauce total. So it was basically 34 cents for the spaghetti sauce since the other stuff was free. For the crayons and markers... I paid 74 cents and got back $1 in store cash (from the crayons) and a $3 cash rebate (from the markers). Crazy!


August 3rd. We went swimming with friends today. I will probably use a different picture for my album, but this one works for the blog. :) Chief and his friend, Maxwell Smart and his friend.

August 4th. The Skipper was "giddy as a school girl" -- his words, not mine -- when his new phone showed up yesterday. He was showing the kids some of the cool features. He said he was very much excited about this level feature. Being that I'm someone that isn't all that interested in technology...I just didn't get the hub-bub of it all. But that's OK.

August 5th. And so begins our 5 days of family-filled-fun! We had a great time meeting up with my husband's family. We played some fun outdoor games after we arrived.

August 6th. Swimming was on the schedule today. The cousins had lots of fun together. Seeing as how I'm almost always behind the camera, I've kind of gotten into the habit of taking a picture of my feet, just to prove I was there. :)

August 7th. We started out the day with breakfast in the canyon. Mmmmm... we are hoping this becomes a new tradition. We had a great time!
See you next week!
