This is what our house has looked like for the past year. I know, the blue has to go. It is so not my style:))
And here it is now. . . . 
Now we get to put up the shutters and get a new door. When I do those I will post a pic. They will both be black;)
We had so much fun this last week at Pismo Beach. We stayed in a beach house in Oceano and played hard. Scotty and I road the ATV's on the sand dunes, we built sand castles, blew bubbles, took long walks on the beach, ate good food and I even ran on the beach. We saw some really cool things like a sting raw and a jelly fish that had washed up on shore. It was a nice week off and now we are back and working hard:)))
Last night we took Asher to a race track for BMXing. It was soooo fun. I was a little worried about Ashers first time around the track. Scotty tried to explain to him what he was supposed to do but Asher just took off and didn't hear a word Scotty said. With no explanation, here is what he did his very first time around the track. . . . natural no??
As Mater says, "Holy Shoot" I was so surprised. Then I thought that he would fall or something on those bumps but he only got faster going around. Check this one out. . .
By the time he felt comfortable he was racing all the other kids. Watch this video and check out how at the start of this one, he looks over at the kids next to him to know who he racing against and then he just toasts the kid. It is awesome.
Well after about an hour of doing this I thought he'd be done. But no, he kept racing and racing and racing. In fact it wasn't until 2 hours later ( a total of 3 hours) that he was done and it was only because they were closing. Check out the slow twitch muscles this kids has. So yes, we are going back next week:)))
Asher came up to me and handed me a piece of paper. I asked him what the paper was and he told me that it was a note to Alli. She is this really cute girl in our primary. I asked what it said and he told me that it said, "sorry I can't play with you Alli because I'm too shy". Well then I looked at the paper and this is what he had written,
"sore cat plae wf yu alle"
I was amazed that he sounded out the words the way he did.
Is this a forecast of what I have ahead of me with girls and my Asher:(((
Well, sort of. Ashers "real school" starts on the 26th but his school is doing a 2 week crash coarse for the up coming Kindergartners:)) He goes to school for the next 2 weeks and the teacher treats the class as if they were being graded etc. They do normal kindergarten work and are taught all the stuff that they will be taught in kindergarten. He even goes to his normal class room. That way when the kids go to "real school", they already know what is expected of them:))
This is the best picture I could get of him.
When we were walking home from school Ashers new friend was walking home too so they walked together:)
Does this make me old??
Today Graham got in trouble and he didn't like that. He said to me, "Mom I'm leaving you." I said, "Oh, where are you going?" He said, "To the dentist. They have toys and garbage trucks for me." I have never laughed so hard:)))
Yes I am still couponing and it is such an addiction. The last few months have been really good but I have been so busy that I haven't posted anything on my deals. But today I had Scotty go to the grocery store for me and he was so excited about the savings that he told me to post this one. So here it is. . .
We spent a whole whopping $26.89 on these items. We saved $92.67
Of coarse this is exciting to me but I have to say that the other day I did a transaction that was better. I spent $17.73 and saved $85.49 :)) and I got food instead of cereal. So here's to shopping the sales with coupons:))) hooray!!!
