Its Summer!!!

Well it was a long time coming but I think it is finally summer!! Brandon and I had a wonderful weekend!! We did the date night thing Friday, lake on Saturday, church and family over on Sunday, and pool on Monday! Libby had her first experience of getting in a lake and of course loved it. She loved the boat! Brandon got in the water and was having a hard time adjusting to the cold temps and Miss inpatient was having a fit and had to get in asap! We finally got her in and she did not want to get out. Sunday night my aunt from the ATL came over for dinner with the p's and us and my grandmother. They got to watch Libby play in her princess pool. My grandmother was talking about someone getting fat. Obviously I assumed she was talking about me cause that would make sense. Nope, she was talking about Libby. haha!! I don't think her eyes are working that well considering my almost 14 month old wears 9 month clothes and her sun hat is a size 3-9 months and still too big. lol. Oh and not to mention the fact she thought Libby's ladybug was a cat. heehee. On Monday we went to Southland pool and Libby had a great time. We got a city pass this year to enjoy some fun in the sun! I am trying to work on my tan. Being pregnant isn't that attractive but a tan seems to help improve things. I get sad looking at some of my wedding pics. I was brown as a biscuit and so jealous of my little body then too : ( Brandon and I have a busy week but I am already looking forward to the weekend, hoping to get another pool day in on Saturday! I am planning on getting Kynleigh's furniture ordered in the next few days in hopes of getting started on her room. 27 weeks on Thursday! It doesn't seem possible. It is gonna sneak up on us so I want to get going on it before time slips by! I will have to post a pic of the furniture. I will do that when I order it!!

Another Successful Shopping Trip!!

I have to quickly share a great deal at Target. I know I like it when someone shares a great deal so I thought I would share mine for other mom's looking to save a buck. I just recently blogged about a good shopping trip to Target last week and how I got a $5 giftcard for purchasing two bins of cat liter. I hung on to that giftcard waiting for something great to spend it on and today I found it! It was advertised in the Target flyer this week that if you purchase two value packs of diapers, you get a free $10 giftcard. Hello great deal considering I am going to have 2 in diapers! I purchased Libby a pack of 104 diapers, and Kynleigh a 192 pack of diapers for $29.99 each. Used a manufacturer coupon for $2 off each and combined it with the free $5 giftcard from last week's purchased only to earn myself a free $10 giftcard for my next purchase. Um hello..$9 off plus a free $10 equals a savings of $19!! yay!! I picked up some hairclips for $1 in the bins in the dollar section in the front of the store plus 2 boxes of candy for $1 each which I stuffed in my purse to go see Hang Over 2. Love it!! (Side note-dollar store also has movie box candy). So for those who didn't know, you CAN use coupons on items that you have to purchase two to get a free giftcard. Another wonderful thing about Target is that the register prints out coupons for your next purchase based on what you purchased at that time. For example, because I bought diapers, it printed out a $1.50 off coupon for huggies little swimmers. Little swimmers are not cheap. So I am super excited to have that coupon for my next purchase of swim diapers. Woohoo!! Okay enough about great deals! Hang Over 2 was hilarious and it was even more wonderful to spend some alone time with the hubs!

So Over the Rain!!

Well at 6:00 pm, Libby is suppose to have her one year pics. They have been re-scheduled a couple of times hence why she is almost 14 months and still hasn't had 12 month pics. Please everyone keep fingers crossed it holds out just for these pics please!!! The weather forecast has been inaccurate the past couple of days so let's hope that it is wrong again tonight!! I have been doing some frugal shopping the past few days for necessities. Swim diapers are $6.99 at Walgreens this week. I picked up two packs plus used a $2 coupon!! I purchased a card and gift bag for a birthday present at the dollar store for $1.59 total. (FYI dollar store cards are .50 each) Last night I purchased Libby a pair of jean shorts, a cute tank top, and Kynleigh a dress for $5 at Once Upon A Child. I probably would have got more but Brandon came to pick me up. (I was at the tanning bed getting a FREE spray tan and Brandon and Libby went to Toys R Us to get his nephew a bday present and somehow a pink little tikes shopping cart ended up in our trunk). We are gonna go back to Once Upon a Child and get Kynleigh's jumperoo because we need one and they are having a 25% off sale this Saturday-Monday. The weekend fun plans are as follows:

Friday: Go see Hangover 2. (I have not been to the theater since Libby was one week old).

Saturday: lake all day

Sunday: Church, family over for cookout

Monday: Go to the pool

Can't wait!!! Yeah Memorial Day weekend!!

Yeah it's Monday!

Im trying to be positive about it already being Monday. I had a great weekend and I hope to have another one this weekend for Memorial day...woohoo!! To me, when Memorial day comes that means summer! I am ready for some pool time and sun tan on this growing white body!

First I have to share about a frugal shopping trip I took on Thursday of last week. I went to Target with coupons in hand and ready to go. I saw in an ad that cat liter was advertised that if you purchased 2 of the big 35 pound boxes you got a free $5 giftcard to be used anytime. Great deal because we always need cat liter and I just so happened to have a coupon for $1.10 off which made it an even better deal. I purchased two 35 pound boxes of cat liter( $1.10 off coupon), 2 degree men's deodrants for Brandon ($1 off coupon), a spray can of sunscreen (.50 coupon), 2 boxes of nutri-grain bars($1 off coupon), a 2 pack of air wick refills ($1 off coupon), a air wick plug in (free with coupon), dove shampoo and dove conditioner ($2 off coupon), Libby a shirt (on clearance with an extra 30% off making in $1.12). I think that was it, I may have purchased one other thing but it ended up being $48 before tax! And I already am saving $5 off my next purchase. yay!! Then I headed to Clothes Mentor for maternity clothes. I didn't find much but I did find a pair of kacki capris for $6 and a v neck short sleeve shirt for $6. Can't beat a $12 outfit! Then I went to the mall to look for more maternity clothes. I picked up a couple tanks at Motherhood Maternity for $7.50 each. I really despise shopping there because I think they are over priced and the sales clerk stalks you. It never fails. They call me by name and I don't go there very much! Scary!!! I guess it is where I was just there buying clothes for Libby so they have seen me a handful of times the past 2 years. I just feel like there aren't a lot of options for maternity clothes. I need to come up with a maternity line that is cute and reasonably priced. I stopped in baby gap to look at clearance and no luck. I then headed down to Children's Place. They had footie pajamas (that's all I put Libby in cause she kicks the blanket off and I am always afraid she will get cold at night) on clearance for $5. I picked up two pair in 18 months for Libby for when she grows into them. I get them to the register and they rang up $3.50 each. Seriously? So I picked up two more in size 24 months. You really can't beat it! It was a successful frugal trip I would say!

This weekend was great! Brandon mowed while Libby played in her pool. After lunch we went looking for yard sales since the neighborhood was having one. We couldn't find one. haha. Who has a neighborhood yard sale and no yard sales? I guess this one! After nap we had some friends over for a cookout. Libby and Addyson enjoyed more pool time! They had so much fun! Sunday was a blur as always. We stayed after church for a membership lunch and when we got home Libby was up from her nap and ready to go. Then came the rain....booo.... We did get a visit from Gigi and Papaw and then my friend came in town and stayed the night. Before we knew it, the day and weekend were over.

No new news on the pregnancy side. I'm continuing to gain and that's about all to report. She is moving all the time. Will be 26 weeks on Thursday. Hope to purchase some furniture and bedding within the next few weeks!!

Kynleigh Update!

I had another ultrasound today to check Kynleigh's heart. It looked great! I am currently 24 weeks, will be 25 on Thursday. I got to see her in 3d cause the tech was so sweet. She looks JUST like Libby! It is almost scary how much they look alike! Her jaws are not as fat as Libby's were but I have to take into consideration that I saw Libby in 3d at 27 weeks. The 2.5 weeks makes a difference! She is head down now. Let's hope she stays that way! I was bragging to my mom about how i hadn't gained much weight and ever since then I have gained a pound a day. Ha! Hope that slows down. I am still way down from what I was at this time with Libby. I think I sat on my bum and ate too much last time. I took two walks a day last week and was hoping to do the same this week but that doesn't look like it is gonna happen with the weather this week. I am hoping next week I can get back at it!

Got a new book for Bible study group yesterday and I can't put it down. It is called "Drop the Pose". Awesome and easy read! I am looking forward to continue reading it.

I hope to have Brandon scan an ultrasound pic in so I can share! Thanks for all the prayers for her. I am so blessed with two beautiful healthy girls! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!

Boo for Jeter

So I spent a long time writing a blog last night only for it to mess up and not post. I am very upset with my cat right now who ate up my computer charger. So therefore it is not easy for me to post considering Brandon's computer is a little more difficult to use since it's a mac and I was going to post some vacation pictures but can't do that because the pics are on my computer and my computer is dead. Ugh! I am so over that cat. Anyway in a nutshell I had a great weekend. I will get back to blogging when we order a new computer charger and it arrives.

I Love Target!!

It's 7:30 am and Pig is still asleep! Yeah!!! So I get a chance to blog. I know I have shared previously about how much I love Target but I want to say it again...I LOVE Target!!! Brandon and I had a few things to purchase on Monday night so we took a trip to my fav store. I had a couple coupons but nothing major. I did want to share though that Nicholasville Rd. Target has massive kids clearance! I always browse the clearance section in kids however it was like a massive amount the other day. I did not purchase much only because I had purchased some $4 shorts and tops for her at Kohls a couple days prior. I did find jeans in size 18 months for $2.25 that I could not pass up. She is barely in 12 months so it will be awhile before she wears them however the great news is..she is going to wear them at some point! I cannot begin to tell you the amount of clothes she is just starting to wear that I purchased off clearance racks when I was pregnant with her. I looked for Kynleigh (which sometimes I forget and that kind of makes me sad because I don't mean to forget...it's just when I have Libby in my face all the time...she is first on my mind) and I did not find anything in newborn. I am hoping so stuff that Libby never got to wear because it was out of season will come in handy for Kynleigh. I have 5 Ralph Lauren Polo dresses with tags still on them that I received as a shower gift that Libby could not fit into them when the weather was right. She was too small.

Last night Little Fockers came out at Redbox! I had been waiting for some time to come out and was so excited that Brandon reserved a copy only to fall asleep 30 minutes into it. It will probably take us three days to watch a 2 hour movie. So sad. It's funny how much something so little can wear you out but I wouldnt change anything for the world.

Uh oh someone is standing in their bed jabbering. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

May? Already?

I cannot believe it is already May! Where has the time gone? Libby turned one, I have already been on vacation, we have sold our house and moved into a new one, Brandon's dear grandmother passed, and are expecting in 4 months another baby. Wow! Hold on Im gonna stop and take a breath. So much is happening so quick. I told Brandon the other night before we fell asleep that I wish time would slow down. I feel like I can barely keep up. I keep telling everyone I am 4 months pregnant until yesterday I realized that it was exactly 4 months until due date which must mean I am 5 months along. I keep pretending that I am not that far along so I don't have to stress about all the things that will need to be done. It also took 11 long months to get Libby to sleep past 6:30 am so I am not real thrilled about giving my sleep back up in 4 months. I was starting to enjoy it. Keep fingers crossed that this one is a sleeper!
This weekend was somewhat productive. We got a few things cleaned out of the garage (still some left to do ), purchased some bins to help organize Libby's toys in her upstairs playroom (looks a ton better), got my hair cut and eyebrows waxed (long overdue!), Brandon got the yard mowed, got a walk in on Saturday and Sunday with the Lib (she Loves walks), and we went to dinner and rented a movie for the first time in forever it seems like. (since she has gotten bigger and easier we have forgotten to do stuff alone). All and all it was a wonderful relaxing weekend. Nothing exciting planned for the week however I am looking forward to seeing what it will bring. Just loving life and all of God's blessings!
