What a great boy! My brag about Keaton.

I just wanted to say a few things about our awesome son Keaton. He is the best big brother! When he is away at school his little brothers miss him so much. Carters eyes light up every time Keaton comes near him, it is the cutest thing. Keaton is a great student and he is an awesome reader, artist, and mathematician. We as parents are so proud of him and all of the hard work he puts into being such a good boy at home, church, and school. He is getting excited to start basketball soon. He likes learning piano and is in the school and primary choir. Keaton has such a tender good heart......always looking out for others. I need to take pictures of this boys feet.....he has only a tad more for them to grow and then he will pass me by. He loves BYU and anything blue!
Keaton is a great listener and likes to do the "right thing". His room is always super tidy, he has a place for everything and knows if something is moved! He likes hanging out with Daddy and doing "boy stuff ". I am very lucky to be his mom. Love you bug!!!!!

What a rush......great shopping trip today!


Today at Albertson's I was able to get such super great awesome deals!!! My total before coupons was $303.44 and then after it was........drum role please........$91.03. That is a 70% savings. Oh, way super cool huh! Last night my sister, some friends and I got together to get ourselves organized for the sale. Yep we are hooked! I was able to stock up on peanut butter, laundry detergent, lotion, salad dressing, shampoo, veggies, gogurt, and the list goes on and on. (the pictures are minus 5 boxed veggies and 10 peanut butters).
The ice cream and lotion I got for free and many of the other items were way super dirt cheap! I have quite the stash of free items that I have been saving up so that I can donate them around the holidays. It is so fun to be able to save and also be able to give while doing it!!!

Cute kids!!

My Grandma took this picture at my sister Amber's house. I love it! It is of 2 of my boys and 4 of their cute cousins! They all had a great time that day. We were celebrating birthdays for my cute niece Emma and her tough guy brother Liam. I just love all of my nieces and nephews to bits.

Talon won those spider man glasses w/ red lenses playing a fish game at the party. He loves wearing them in the car. He likes that everything he sees has a red tint to it. Silly kid.
