A Coke and a Smile!

I just discovered my FAVORITE bargain of the week. Normally, it's at a grocery store. But, this week it's at . . . Staples. Yep, that's right - Staples! They have 12-pack Coke on sale for 2 for $5. That in itself is a good deal, but I also have $1 off coupons that I used making two 12 packs only $4! Since Coke has recently been outrageously priced, I haven't bought any for a while. Aaron loves the stuff and has been having a few withdrawals. :-) So, I ran to Staples tonight, bought four 12 packs and my total bill was only $6.64. Now THAT'S a good deal!

P.S. I always enter the codes for points from inside the coke/sprite packages (www.mycokerewards.com). Use 35 points to print a $1 off coupon. A 12-pack gives you 10 points, so it takes a little bit to build up, but my in-laws help keep me stocked with points. Thanks! :-)

"Little" Elijah

Dana & Phil's baby, Elijah, is not so little anymore! I took his pictures the weekend after IHC when Dana was here. He is cute as can be - and here's the proof of that.

April Fun!

An April picture update:

Clayton now uses the Toddler Bathtub.

Hooray - It's finally warm enough to pull out the flip flops - even for Clayton. :-)

We celebrated Jeff's birthday at Smokey Bones (but I was too full for the hot donuts - bummer)!

Clayton's first Easter and Easter basket!

Packed (finally) and headed to IHC in Dana's vehicle. Notice the PACKED vehicle - and this was after we had friends take my stroller and 3 suitcases in their cars up to Dayton. :-) With 2 babies and 3 adults (my sister and my mother), we had a lot of stuff!

Meeting up with family - this is Mark & Jana's Kaden holding Clayton.

Those comfy beds with all the pillows sure were nice!



Dana, Jana, and I enjoying the GBS Alumni Reception

Clayton getting acquainted with Dr. Farmer.

I got to meet little Samuel, my cousin Rachelle's baby boy.

Dana, me, Rachelle, and Christy - fun with cousins that we don't get to see often enough!

Cameron was also at IHC and here he is holding both Elijah and Clayton!

Jana and Elijah (Dana's baby)

3 sisters + 3 strollers = 3 x the fun!

After IHC we all headed to Jeff and Vicki's for the weekend. Here are the 4 babies - all born in 2008.

We were so happy that Kendall and Leanna could join us for the weekend!


Clayton's first time to real a real cap!

Jennifer & Bennett

I had so much fun taking Jennifer and Bennett's engagement pictures! They were great to work with and I'm sure we laughed more than we should be allowed to!

Clayton - 6 months old!

I had so much fun taking Clayton's 6-month pictures yesterday. I couldn't decide to go with a spring outfit or a warm outfit, so I decided to do both. :-) Here are a few favorites!

I just love babies in hats!
(Thanks for the outfit, Jennifer!)

At this point, it appears he is simply "enduring" - he's done with pictures! OK, OK, I'll stop (but only for now). :-)
