Hunters and Gatherers

Okay, we've all heard before that men were the hunters and women were the gatherers, but today I did both. I think most women love hunting for the deal and getting something awesome for nearly nothing. After hunting and then gathering at the big sale at Saver's (mostly second hand stuff, but really cute) this is what I came away with...nearly 30 items of clothes for under $40. Afterwards, my friend Charise and I went out to lunch to celebrate all our finds. The best part? No kids, thanks to our super-babysitter Callie, that had school off today!


P.S. Charise, see why you need a blog? Then you can be a nerd like me and show everything you got!

P.S.S. For those of you wondering, Brooklyn is doing much better and is almost back to herself. She was pretty sick for a few days: ear infections, fever, uncontrollable boogers, etc. and had to be on an inhaler (albuterol), and antibiotics to clear things up. So, if you ever need a mask thing for babies to use with an inhaler, call me and you can borrow ours and save yourself the 50 bucks.... Kids just LOVE them- I wish:)

Megan, I went to Savers today but didn't find nearly all you came home with. I did get some great bargains however. Thanks for telling me about Savers. Can't wait to see Charise's blog!!

Having friends and a babysitter, WOW! You might have spent more on the babysitter than you did on your clothes! Great Job, Megan! That's it we're moving to Boise!

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

You can take the girl out of the country, but....

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
