I started a new blog

So I decided to start a new blog so that I can post some great deals that I find on my shopping adventures. If anyone is interested it is Utahcouponmom.blogspot.com
I also am still in the process of getting it to look the way I like it but i am posting things already.

Mega-gail

Abby asked me about 2 or 3 weeks ago if Megan's real name was Mega-gail. I laughed and then explained that Megan's name is Megan and we call her Meggie for short. Like we call you Abby. Kids say the funniest things.

More Megan Photos

 

Mindy took these tonight:

Megan Update

 

Just thought I’d put up some photos of Megan taken today before she went to bed.  You can’t see anything but her eyes in her ladybug costume, and the last photos of her down below look really young!

Megan notices the camera

Megan doesn’t like the flash

Megan isn’t sure about being put down while Daddy keeps taking flashing photos.

 

She gets over it very quickly though, and attacks the camera.

Halloween Pics

We just put the girls to bed.  They had fun with Trick or Treating tonight and with handing out candy to the neighbor kids (well, Abby did- Megan just enjoyed begging Daddy to open more candy for her.)

Follow the link for some photos:

Misty had her baby (Boy)

He was 7lbs and 13oz

He was born last Monday.

Healthy baby.

His name is Sam.

Megan took a few steps on her own.

Megan has been very adventures lately. She walked a few steps from one couch to the other. She has been also attempting to walk from our coffee table to me.
Also, Abby is officially potty trained with peeing but pooping is another struggle.
She now will actually take herself into the bathroom and says "No, Mom I do it by my big self". She usually just asks for the light to be turned on. Yeah!!!
We are still working on #2 though. That one is the hardest for me to deal with, but she will figure it out one day.

Megan is crawling

So today finally Megan crawled. I'll have to get a video of her, so you can see. She looks silly sometimes when she crawls. She still prefers to walk around holding my hand. In fact if I am any where near her she will just repeatedly reach for my index finger to hold so she can get the object she wants by walking. I have been forcing her to crawl, poor Megan. But, she finally did it. YEAH!!

A lot of new posts so keep scrolling down to view all

So It’s been a long time so I have  a lot of catching up to do. So keep scrolling down to view all of my latest posts. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Elli and Laney

Abby is in the middle. They had lots of fun swinging it around and hitting each other with them.

Watching Cinderella.

My friend Hayley is a hair stylist, her daughter is Elli. She gave all the girls Princess hair. It was such a fun birthday party.

What cute hair! She kept that in for the rest of the day. She loved it! There is no way I could reproduce that or get her to sit still for me . But it makes a cute picture.

They all started to dance around it was quite cute. As you can see Cinderella and Prince Charming are dancing.

Cinderella for Halloween

Abby loves her Halloween costume. She is going to be Cinderella this year. All we need now is some shoes and she is set.

Silly Megan

She loves to play with this little toy. 

This is what Megan looks like now. She is such a funny kid.

Splish Splashin’ in the Tub

These are all old pictures. I finally have time to post some pictures I have taken. Rob is now the Ward click and I have joined the Wednesday night widows club so I have time to post things on Wednesdays now.

Funny Abby

Abby just kept stacking things on her stroller until it looked like this. It kind of reminds me of a homeless person. They stack everything they can fit onto there cart , what ever it may be. Also if you look at the second picture she totally ran over her stuffed dog, OUCH!!

Rappelling Pictures

 

At the Jarman family reunion I promised a lot of people pictures from the rappelling activity on Friday.  I figure the easiest way to share them is just to put them up here on Mindy’s blog.  If anyone wants larger, printable versions of any of these just let Mindy know what photo and what your email address is and we’ll send them to you!

Here’s all the photos I took, unedited:

Megan has a tooth

About a week and a half ago Megan got her first tooth. She was really fussy and had a fever then up came a tooth. We thought she was sick but nope she was just teething.

Abby very sick

So yesterday all day long Abby played like normal Abby then all of a sudden she just got sad and cuddly. When I held her she felt really hot to me so I checked her temperature. It was 101.6 degrees. Last night was crappy she kept throwing up and her temperature got to 102.6. I got a total of maybe 4 hours of sleep last night. 2 hours here and 2 hours there. We changed Abby clothes three times and washed her bedding twice. We finally put her in bed with us and Rob stayed up the whole night just to make sure she was okay. He just went and laid down maybe 30 minutes ago. Poor Abby she is really sick. Megan is up now so that is all the sleep I will be getting.

Best Prayer Ever

Abby just gave the most ridiculous prayer ever, all by herself.  This is it, in it's entirety:

"Dear Heavenly Father;

Thank you for food.  Thank you for Abby eat cookies.  Please bless Abby eat cookies.

Name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Mindy's new Job

So I have a new job! There is this website called savvyshopperdeals.com I have been looking at the site for a year now. It's great deals in Utah county with or without coupons. I have been saving us so much money by using coupons it's crazy. For example I bought 2 jumbo packs of diapers 2 days ago for $3 Huggies brand. For those of you who do not buy diapers they are normally $9.99 each. So I paid 1.50 each. WOW!!!
Well about two weeks ago this website I go to had a post for people who were interested in becoming a savvy shopper trainer. So I interviewed and go the job. I basically teach people how to use coupons and get at least 50% off on there groceries. They hired 10 people out of 50+. So if anyone is interested in learning how they could save money. I teach free classes. I come to homes or Enrichment meetings. Just let me know.

Mama ..... Dada

This morning at 5:30 am I woke up to a someone saying Mama. I jumped up and thought was that Megan. Sure enough she was awake and started to kick as soon as she saw me coming. I didn't know if it was just a coincidence that she happened to say Mama or not. Then later today Rob was playing the the girls, while I made dinner and at one point he came in to the kitchen to see how much longer it was going to be and Megan kept saying Dada Dada over and over again. Rob said "I think she knows what our names are because of her calling out to him Dada Dada". Coincidence or not she said Mama and Dada (Mama first, hehe).
