Shall I even say it........

we are paci free! Jagger has been hiding them and we can't find them, so I decided to just put him down for a nap without it last Saturday, no fussing, success! Then came night time, same thing. I knew it had to be a fluke, there was no way it was going to be this easy. I had to give it to him 2 days for his nap, but otherwise, nothing. He has not had it all all since Thursday. I didn't know it would be this easy! Yay!

I am also considering going back to school for medical transcription. I would still be able to stay at home with Jagger, but help fund my spending habit :)

Another Post

Man, I am on a roll this week!

I gave Jagger his first popsicle and he wasn't sure what to do with it, so he let Emma have a few licks! (He never did eat it)

Backyard Progress

The backyard has all been tilled up and Jagger's area has been sodded (is that a word?). Here is a picture of the general idea that we have going on.

And, here are some pictures of Jagger helping himself to the kix!

Walgreen's Deals this week

Once again, I have been hoarding, as Aaron calls it!

Here is how it worked!

I started out with $3 in RR from my shaving cream stash!

Bayer Aspirin (32 Count)

$2.99 each x 5 = 14.95

$1.50/1 Q from here x 5 = 7.50 ( You can print 2 from each computer)

$3 in RR for buying 2 32 ct. bayer products

Total Price= $4.45

Bayer Healthy Heart (40 Count)

Regular Price $6. 60 x 3 = 19.80

Clearance Price $3.29 x 3 = 9.87 ( I only found these in one store)

Wags Q $3 off = -$9.00

Total Price= 87¢

Dawn Dish Soap

Regular Price $1.99

Wags Q 99¢

50¢ Q in PG insert on 4/4

Total Price = 49¢

Scotch Brite Sponges (3 pack)

Regular Price $3.99 x 4 = 15.96

Wags Q B1G1 -$7.98

Q from here $1/1 x4 -$4

Total Price= $3.98

Vitamin D (120 count)

Regular Price $9.49 x 4 = $37.96

Sale Price $5 x 4 = $20.00

Q $5/1 x 4 = -$20.00

$5 in RR on each bottle x 4 = -$20.00

Total Price = +$20.00, That is right you get $20.00(it is in RR for your next purchase)!

Total Regular Price = $90.66

Total after q's, RR's, and sale prices = $13.21 MM

To get all of these savings, you have to make several different transactions. When getting RR, each item has to be in a separate transaction, like each bottle of vitamins has to be a separate transaction.

For the vitamins you have to sign up for an account here and enter these codes:

099 -18576402
51135 -18576402
27602 -18576402
17139 -18576402
2386 -18576402
2532 -18576402

Then print the $5/1 q 4 times, you just hit the backspace to print it 4 times.

Happy Shopping :)

Spring Time

It is spring time here in Wisconsin and the flowers are popping up!

The raspberries are starting to come back out. I can't wait to make more raspberry jam, it is by far the best I have ever eaten!

Aaron has tilled up half of the garden site. I have potatoes, onions, spinach, leaf lettuce, rosemary, and chives planted.

Aaron started tilling up the backyard yesterday. We are going for a look similar to this. Lots of work ahead of us!

We have been doing alot of outside playing!

Plants are popping up, saying "Thank you for the warm weather and beautiful sunshine!"

Hosta's we planted last year

Peonies from the previous resident

Planting a garden

We are planting a garden this year, a big one! I have already planted potatoes, onions, spinach, and leaf lettuce. We got Jagger's garden started in the house yesterday and will transplant when they get big enough.

Here is a picture of him trying out the dirt!

Such a big boy

Jagger is growing up way too fast on us. He now can feed himself, including spooning out how much he needs. He is also getting closer to walking! I got him to take 3 or 4 steps at the park on Friday.

And....I can't believe this, I lost the diamond in my engagement ring, the big one :0 It totally sucks.

Long over due update

I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated, you will have to excuse the dust that has collected.

Two weeks ago we had to make an unexpected trip back to Tennessee. My mom was admitted to the hospital because of heart problems. She has had some heart attacks, but she is not sure when they occurred. Her heart is very weak now. I will not give any details, as she is a private person, but she could definitely use thoughts and prayers. She is doing fine now, but can only work part time and will probably have to quit work soon. I am trying to talk her into moving up here with us so that I can help her out.

Jagger sure had a good time being with his meme! He got to sleep with her 3 or 4 nights, so now he doesn't want to sleep in his bed! He could also talk her into carrying him around everywhere.
