Gone fishing

The Utah Jazz met the Lakers in the NBA playoffs. Last nights game was game 5. They lost the game but they put up a good fight at the end. Jerry Sloan got a technical and got kicked out of the game. Charles Barkley said they should have let him go after the refs instead of holding him back. That would have been a fight to see. The media have been saying it was Millsap that got the Jazz back in the game but I think it was all Ronnie Price. On tnt they always send teams fishing if they lose. Last night the Jazz lost so they sent them fishing. This is what the media thinks of Utah. The picture tells it all. It is funny though.

Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are Gone Fishin' with former Bears and BYU QB Jim McMahon. And must we not leave out the boat to the left... No other then BIG LOVE....

So not only do they dress Boozer in a BYU tshirt, and Williams dressed like a missionary they just had to add piligamy on top of it....Only in Utah...But it is funny......

This picture I found on the internet and I thought it was a pretty cool picture so I thought I would post it with this blog....

Coloring Easter Eggs

Easter is almost here and the kids are really excited. We went to price today to get the eggs and coloring kits to color eggs. Well when we got to Walmart we walked in the doors and over to the Easter stuff. When there was announcement that you had 30min. to check out. Because the power went out. I was thinking great. so we hurried and grabbed the eggs and the coloring kit I figured I could go back and get the Easter stuff later. So we rushed to get in line. When we got there the lines were long. I was thining what else could go wrong. We stood there what seemed like forever. Then it was almost are turn to check out and the power came on. Go figure. Well anyway I decided to leave the line and go ge the rest o my stuff so I did't have to make another trip. Finally we made it home and the kids got to color easter eggs.

Beverlie and Ryan checking to see if his egg changed colors. Ryan was having so much fun.

Trevor was having fun coloring his eggs too. They are so cute. Trevor after coloring his eggs went to twn on decorating them with sticks and coloring crayons and sticks. Sticks everywhere.

Happy Easter!!

Grocery Savings

I went grocery shopping today. I thought I would try the tips I got from the grocery smarts class Shaniel invited me too. I got two sunday papers last week to get the coupons and use them when things go on sale. Im still not really good at when to use the coupons yet. But Im sure I'll get it eventually.

This is a picture of what I bought.

I bought
9 boxes of cereal (4 frosted flakes, 1 Apple Jacks, 2 honey bunches of oats, Banana crunch cereal)
10 boxes of Pasta Salad
4 cans of broth
2 cans of baked beans
2 Roasts
2 packages of ribs
1 package of fish sticks
1 package of battered fish
2 strudels ( fresh baked)

All this stuff I bought I only paid $72.34. I dont remember what I saved. But I think I did pretty good for my first time. I also got coupons for next visit to Albertsons. I get 3 Gallons of FREE Milk and a coupon for $3.00 off on Post cereal. After my visit to the store I think Im going to keep collecting coupons and keep saving money. It really does work.
Thanks Shaniel for the class you put on.

Matt and his family was there too. Trevor had fun playing with Marshall and Ryan wouldn't leave Courtney alone he keep hugging and kissing her. He just loved Courtney. It was fun. Well I did parent teacher confrence and Beverllie and Carolyn are doing really well in school. Carolyn ha made alot of progress since the first of the year. Beverlie did the science fair on Wensday. She only had one day to do her project. So it was a hurry up project. She did it on weather. She got a bottle and put some water, vinegar, dish soap, and glitter in it and when you swirl it it makes a tornado. She also got a jar and put hot water in it and then put th lid on top and put icecubes on it and it made rain. She had lots of fun doing it. Trevor is my little athlet. He loves going outside and playing every sport you can think of . He loves playing baseball, basketball, and we were even playing kick ball. He i so cute playing baseball when he miss the ball he runs the bases anyways. I think he just likes me to chase him to get him out. Ryan he just lovs to play outside doing anything. He climbs on the trampoline and jumps, and slides on their swing set. He got a little car for christmas and he loves riding on it. He loves to climb. He climbs on everything. He has even learned how to get on the bunkbeds. On April 1st the church had an April fools day party and I tok the kids there. They had tons of fun. Beverlie, Carolyn, Ryan all got there faces painted. Trevor wasn't having that. Trevor play a ring toss game, Ryan keep doing the limbo, Beverlie was doing line dancing. We all did the cake walk but Beverlie was the only one who won a cake. This weekend is the easter egg hunt. Were going to take the kids to it.
