Seventeen Weeks!!!

This is my adorable sister KRISTY! Isn't she just the cutest little pregnant girl ever! Makes me want to be pregnant too! (Not happening haha, not for awhile anyways.) Kristy says that she hasn't felt any movement yet that she could tell. The baby is now 5 inches head to rump, size of Easton's shoe, haha, and weighs approx 5 oz. We will keep you all posted on the growth and size. She will be finding out what the sex is September 16th. Can't wait to find out!

okay, okay, I am really getting excited this time

So we have my wonderful sister (Kristy) living here with us and she has helped me to get excited about Couponsense again (Thanks Kristy). I tried it once but never really got the hang of it and never could figure it out (not smart enough I guess) Everyone was always talking about how much money they were saving and how they were always getting free stuff. Not me, I never could find those deals.
My cousin Jen is really awsome (thank you Jen) because she has gone out of her way to teach us how to get our coupons organized so we can get the good deals. It all comes down to buying things when they are on sale with a coupon so you get a great deal. So Kristy and I went to Smiths on our first free stuff shopping adventure. Cereal was on sale for 4 for 4 and we had 8 dollar off coupons. We got 8 bags of Ceral for free!!!! When it came down to it we saved 30 dollars on Cereal I couldn't believe it! We clapped and danced all the way out to the car! Now I am excited.
So, today, I met Jen at walmart (Thank you so much Jen) to buy the "all you" magazine that has coupons in it. The deal was to buy 15 Kraft products and get free stuff. So Koolaid is a Kraft item, cool, so we bought 15 Koolaids(18cents each) and got hotdogs, crystal light, wheat thins, cheese and ranch dressing for free! Or we could buy 15 mac and cheese for 50 cents and get the free stuff as well. I am so excited about it! From now on I am shopping the deals!

My one year old!

Easton digging into the cake too

Yummy!! "Pake" as Easton calls it!
I was going over the pics again that I took at the Birthday party and I just want to add one more pic. Easton had just as much fun digging into the cake as Jaxon. I didn't get any pictures but Easton was also feeding the cake to Jaxon, it was so cute!

We had a great turn out for these two little boys birthday party! Thanks for all those that came and thank you especially to those that traveled to be here with us. Thank you Meghan for hosting it at your house, it turned out perfect!

I can't believe it was a year that these two little boys were born. Today I sat and reminisced on that special day that happened a year ago. How fun to have two little cousins born 23 minutes apart. For those that don't know the story here it goes..... I had a scheduled Cesarean. The night before Meghan and I laughed about how fun it would be if she went into labor that night and how convenient it would be for the family to only have to come down once but her due date wasn't for I'm guessing 4 weeks or so, so we really didn't think it would happen especially not on the same day. The morning of my Cesarean the hospital called me at 6am and told me that they would have to postpone my Cesarean because they didn't have any beds but it would happen sometime that day. Then we found out that Meghan went into labor and was admitted in the night. ah, she's the one that took my bed! haha , Zac and I really laughed about that and teased her about it. So, the hospital gave me a call at 8am and said to come on in (not a long wait at all, thank goodness). On my way to the surgical room I stopped by to say hello to Meghan.

As I was leaving her room, Meghan's Dr. walked in and was going to have her push... so I rushed off to the OR. It turned into a race! My doctors in the OR really thought it was fun trying to hurry and get our baby here first. Boston was born 20 minutes earlier than Jaxon. Boston was born at 8:55 and Jaxon was born at 9:15 That is so amazing to be that close in age. wow

We both had beautiful healthy baby boys that will hopefully be close cousins their entire lives. Another memory that I have that was really quite funny to me was...' I was in the middle of getting cut open, I looked behind me and there stood my mom... I waved at her then thought to myself "how did you get in here?" She was bound and determined to get into the OR to see Jaxon come into this world. She sneaked into the OR and saw baby Jaxon's birth. She said that the doors were open so she just came in. I was so glad that she was able to be there too.

absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way! I couldn't take my eyes off him

Boston and Meghan. Boston was early and his lungs were not developed all the way so he spent sometime in the NICU. I love this picture. He is so adorable. You would never know now that he spent time in the NICU. He is such a healthy happy chunky little boy!
