Clipping Coupons!

My latest obsession is clipping coupons. It's another reason to get up early on Sunday morning- check out the deals in the Sunday paper. I clip all of the good deals for the foods we like to eat. Thanks to my mom, I remember when I was little and she would plan a food menu for the 2 weeks. She would ask us what we would like to eat and plan those "favorite" meals into the routine. Funny how we take on things from our past and make them ours. So, I repeat the cycle :) and ask Isaac what meals he would like, line up the coupons and make my grocery list. So...a couple weeks ago I saved $19 in coupons!! Yesterday, I saved $12 in coupons...now it's like a fun game I play. So on the menu this week is fajitas, chicken curry salad, tortellini with peas and Parmesan, quiche with spinach and tomatoes, brats, grilled veggies and LOTS of fruit. Eliana is a fruit eating machine- not bananas and peaches, she likes berries. Unfortunately, her cute little outfits do too :)

Friday the 13th.

I just finished the Mission Kilimanjaro video for Climbing for Christ. Check it out!



Well, back to doin...

Why didn't I think of this?

with all the rubber band guns I made growing up, I wish I had made one like this! The video is a little slow getting going, but this would really be fun to have whipped out at your friends when you got together for a rubber band gun fight.

I was thinking we could get this for Milo when he gets a little older?

Milo's 1st Birthday

What a party!

Here are some photos from the night. If you have pictures you can email me, please do.

Campin at the Interstate Park

Most people (from Minnesota) know this place as Taylor's Falls- but we were on the Wisconsin side.

We were glad everyone showed up- except the mosquitoes crashed the camping.

I can't believe I learned how to play cribbage.

We can all write a little about the weekend. My favorite memory was eating breakfast- it was a killer breakfast!

Anna- how about sharing that recipe with us?

What a wonderful group!



now, I am going to itch my ankles while I try to go to bed.
