Thanksgiving 2008 = Whirlwind!!

Man, am I ever thankful!! That it is over!!!! We loved being home this year for my favorite holiday but we were busy.



Thursday was of course the BIG day!



Friday we had a black friday (I was up at 4:30), birthday party and then the tree lighting downtown to see Allison sing.

(Allison is in the white hat and scarf. She is singing a song from Rent)

Saturday we took Hunter to see Walking with Dinosaurs. That boy totally amazed me. He knew ever dinosaur type and loved every minute of it.

Sunday off to Kmart at 7:30am, church at Crown Point for a special celebration, put up the tree and finish my CDA teaching requirements.

Monday I finally have my CDA testing and Hunter has a dentist appt and cubscouts.

Tuesday and Wednesday I spent catching up before I start my new position at the preschool. I am off to work tomorrow. It has been a busy week but we are so blessed with two beautiful children, an awesome family and terrific friends. What else in this world could we ask for!! Much love to all of you !

I am addicted...

I need help. A support program or something. I mean when I go out and I don't have it with me. I start to shake and I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach. I have tried to not be so obsessive but I think there is no turning back now.....

I AM ADDICTED TO COUPONS!!!! Seriously, I started at 7 this morning at Kmart for their double coupon event. I even got Rick to go with me.

This is what I used to get for $50.00.


















and now with double coupon and some preparing. I got all this....Yes, we saved over $150!!!! I got lots of dog treats, medicine, and sparkling grape juice all for free! I am hooked now, did I say that already.




I know it is hard to see it all but I thought I would post my great deal of the day!! I can't wait I may make another trip back this week since we don't ever have double coupons in FL. Happy Couponing!!

Halloween 2008

We had a great time with the boys!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures!~

Who is your presidential candidate????

You may have thought that there were only two to choose from but we have news for you. There is a third candidate. Here are his stats and what he agrees to do for our Country.

*He is six years old and has officially been classified as "gifted"
*He sees everything in black and white (I always said he would make a great politician)
*He said that he wants all Americans to recycle. He is our recycling president here and thinks if you don't you are making a BIG mistake for our future.
*He also stated that he wants everyone to go to Disney World. He said if he is president that he will help people to get there because when you are there everyone is happy. (yes, I raised him with good values!! hello, he loves Disney)

His name is Hunter Laney and he is ready to campaign for your vote!!!



I know it is too funny! We were in Joann's and Hunter put on that mask and yelled, "Look Mom, I look like a president!" I grabbed my camera and took the pic. Then Hunter said Mom, put that on the blog. I said consider it done. We went over what a president does and how they have things that they stand up for. Hunter came up with his own. He does think it is ridiculous that you have to be 35 to run for president because that is OLD!! Hahaha!!

Our First Camping Trip with the Boy Scouts!

We had a great time at Camp Shands last weekend! The boys loved it and we enjoyed watching them experience new things. Enjoy the slide show!

Awwwww, I love that boy...

Hayden wants to do his room in a baseball theme. So we have started looking at some things for it. I found this really cool baseball chair. Hayden loves it!! He said it won't be a time out chair EVER..So last night I went in his room to check on him before I went to bed and sneak in one last kiss. His bed was empty! My heart started to panic until I looked down and this is what I found...

I seriously owe you all some updates...

I checked out the blog and realized it has been almost two months since I posted. I am so sorry..Please forgive me. You are about to get updated on the Land of Laney . I will type quickly and you read quickly because there A LOT going on here.....

On 8/18, Hunter started the first grade and Hayden started PreK. They both are enjoying their new classes.


























Let see, we had TS Fay come thru and disrupt our school schedule, then we had some really big news!! We got a tiger!! Yes you read that right, a TIGER, a cub of course!!





I told you we got a tiger.. A tiger cub scout. Hunter heard all about it and could not wait to sign up. He even wanted to forgo t-ball for rock climbing and bows and arrows. We have our first camping trip (yes in a tent!! All four of us!! Quit laughing...stop it) the first weekend in October. Don't forget to check out the blog..it is sure to be good after that one.

Love, love, love to all ....S
