Carson & Great Grandpa Udy's Birthday Party in 2005.
Carson & Grandpa Udy's Birthday's are one day apart. May 2nd and May 3rd. I remember when I was expecting Carson and Grandpa was hopeful that I would have him on his Birthday. We were at Grandpa's Birthday Party the night before and I knew I was getting started the next day. At the party I started having labor pains and Grandpa was hoping that I still might have him before midnight, but I still had to get started the next day. I am so blessed two have these to special people in my life. They both know how to make me feel special. My Grandpa used to make me feel like a princess when I was a little girl and Carson always lets me know that I am loved. He always says "I love you so much, Mom!"

GROCERY SMARTS

I went shopping for the first time in my life with coupons, Thanks to Jacki, she introduced me to the grocery smarts program. I have really been sitting on the fence about this because it just seemed like a lot of work and time, which I don't have. Jacki called me last week and said that their was an awesome sale at Albertson's in Logan and I should try my coupons out. She said Friday night they restock everything, so she went to check it out to make sure everything was stocked up for me before I made the trip over. Then on Friday night at 9:30 pm Carson and I started over to Logan to meet Jacki so she could help us figure this thing out. It is a little complicated and since she had done it before she was the pro. Anyway I spent only $77.83 and saved $275.66 that is a savings of 75% which means out the 95 items I purchased i spent about 72 cents per item. I even got 10 bottles of All Laundry detergent. Now that is a huge savings! I will probably do it again but only if their is a good sale like this one.

HALLOWEEN FUN

We had a fun week of Halloween events! We went to our ward Halloween party on Tuesday Night. We decorated pumpkins and ate dinner. On Thursday night we carved our pumpkins. The boys always love to do this. I think it is because they get to use a knife. On Friday we dressed up for work and school, I even dressed up like a witch for work, my friend Janet also dressed up like a hunter. We decided we needed to do something fun at work for stress relief. Branson dressed up like a vampire for school and Carson dressed up like a ninja, check out his moves. Then for trick or treating, Branson dressed up like a girl, yes that is Branson, he made a beautiful girl, he has nice eyelashes. Then of course after trick or treating we went to Grandma Kent's for Chili and Sugar Cookies and life long family tradition. I love Halloween, it is so much fun!
