A trip to St George Part 2

While we were in St. George we also helped Grandma clean out one of the bedrooms. The closet was full of my uncle's clothes from when he lived at home. Funny, funny, stuff. We had a good time sorting through them. A lot of them still had the tags on them! The best part is, he came over later that day and took these shorts home with him...

More "treasures"

We enjoyed a nice afternoon at the park in the warm, sunny weather.

Before we left for home on Monday we made a stop at my Grandpa's farm.

We also placed some beautiful flowers on Grandpa's grave

A trip to St George

I really enjoyed my 4 day weekend in St George. The weather was perfect and I got to relax and spend some "girl time" with my mom, grandma, and sister. (minus Porter because he's not a girl, but I loved spending time with him too!)

On Friday I went to the Home & Garden show at UVU with Toni, Evan and Porter. We had fun walking around and getting all the SWAG. Porter loved playing in the fountain:

My Grandma wanted us to pick out a pink wreath for her front room. After looking at several stores we decided it would be cheaper to make it. Toni took on the project and it turned out great for her first wreath! Here's us picking out all of the flowers at Michael's:

Not bad, right?

More to come...

My Smith's Trip

You know I love to save money and clip coupons, and this week's grocery shopping was so fun! I took Ryan and went to Smith's last night. He was so impressed by my frugality! They're having a huge March Madness sale where if you buy 8 participating items you get $4.00 off! The sale runs through the end of the month. Here's what I got:

The best deal was 32 oz. Powerade's for $0.25 each! (We bought 11)

pasta .49 each (2)

Del Monte Tomatoes .24 each (8)

Kellogg's Cereal $1.24 each (6)

Salad dressing .49 each

64 oz apple juice .99 each (3)

I also bought (10) Pillsbury Grands Biscuits, on sale for .99 each. I used (5) .30 off 2 coupons from Smartsource and online. Plus the cans had .50 off 4 coupons attached, that I used too.

                                When you buy 6 you'll receive a $4 coupon good on your next shopping order!

Here's the breakdown:

I got $20 off the bill from buying the March Madness items.

I saved $18.50 by using MFG coupons

$73.68 in FreshValue savings

Total Savings 58% $92.18

62 items for $66.95

This is why I love Smith's more than Costco..

I contribute my success to all the great bargain blogs I read

Jazz Defeat Timberwolves

Here are some pictures from the Jazz game we went to on Saint Pattie's Day:

Carlos Boozer (19 points, 11 rebounds) notched a double-double and Paul Millsap came off the bench for 21 points as the Jazz handily defeated the Timberwolves 122-100 Wednesday night at home. Mehmet Okur added 14 points and Kyle Korver had 20 off the bench

We even watched them blowout Toronto tonight!

Deron Williams (18 points, 16 assists, eight rebounds, four steals) and the Jazz easily pushed their winning streak against the Raptors to double digits (10) with a 113-87 win in Toronto on Wednesday. Carlos Boozer also scored 18 points while grabbing 11 rebounds

.

Go Jazz Go!

Did you know that Kyle Korver leads NBA in three-point accuracy by 7.5 percentage points? He has hit 45-of-79, 57.0 percent of his three-point attempts this season.

He's our favorite player.

The New New One

Ryan's family found a kitty last week so we went up this weekend to see him. He's so cute and teeny! The vet said he's about 4 weeks old, but doing great! His little meow will melt your heart. We really wanted to steal him, but we thought 4 cats might be too many ;)
