Walking!

Jagger is walking! He finally decided he was ready to take off on Saturday. He is still unsure of it at times and finds crawling to be a faster mode of transportation, but he is walking more and more everyday! We went to the vanilla bean yesterday to pick up some supplies for a cake I am making this weekend and he was walking all over the place grabbing as much stuff as he could fit in those little hands! I am excited to see how he does at Little Gym tomorrow, since that is where he really figured out that he might be ok with it. Of course he was going after the balls when he walked about 3 foot twice. I will get video and then go buy a cord and post it soon. I also have some video of Hawaii.

I am also happy to announce that I will be going back to school for medical transcription! I just have to pay for it and I will start! I think this will be a good opportunity for me and to bring in more income so we can go to Hawaii more :)

We also got a new car last Friday! We got a 2011 Toyota Camry fully loaded. It has a back up camera, which is pretty handy, but the best feature for a mom with a baby on her hip is the key less entry and push button start. This is truly key less entry and you don't even have to dig around in your purse to find the key less entry remote, you just get close enough to the door and it will unlock. Same with the push button start, have the transmitter in your purse or pocket and just push a button to start the engine, fabulous!

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

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!
