Funniest Commercial EVER-(kick off the Old Spice commercials) -Enjoy!

"Some primal termite knocked on wood; and tasted it, and found it good." -Ogden Nash

This is Gus Gus. Yes, we named him. (and yes it is just a random picture from google images-but he represents Gus Gus, who I have NO desire to take a picture of). Well, he decided to eat the wood in our home. He has THOUSANDS of family members that have joined him on this endeavor. We hate them. We are moving. Just thought I would let you know....

Take a look at THIS!

This is 48 boxes of cereal which we got for a knock your socks off deal! Allow me to explain...

My mother-in-law and a lady in her ward are amazingly good at coupons. They get good deals all the time! This time, they were kind enough to bring me along. :) :) :)

So, Albertsons runs a deal for certain kinds of cereal- A box is $2.50 BUT if you buy them in sets of 8, they are reduced to 1.50 a box. 

Then, they printed a bunch of manufacturer's coupons from the internet for $1.00 off 2 boxes of certain cereals. THEN Albertsons had run a deal in the their coupons that they will double any manufacturers coupons up to a $1.00. (3 doubles per transaction).

So, what did we do? We bought cereal that fell under both the manefacturer's coupons and the $2.50 a box deal. BUT we bought them in sets of 8 which meant that they were then $1.50 a box. Then we used the doubler coupons and doubled the discount on 3 coupons for every 8 boxes we bought. Are you following?

So, we ended up paying about 68 cents a box and saved over $150.00 dollars! AMAZING OR WHAT!?!?! To me, this is crazy! mind boggling! I really love having a SUPER smart mother-in-law. I totally recommend them! :)

 CEREAL TO THE CEILING BAAAABBBY!

Comfortably sleeping under the *STARS*

We got NEW sleeping bags! and...here is Tyson to model them for us:

 Man! I am so excited about these-it's ridiculous! Here are the features- Although they look like puke green in the pictures, they are really an olive color-a nice olive color. They are for -15 degree weather, they have a black FLEECE inside, and they zip together to make one BIG sleeping bag. Also, you don't roll them up, you just stuff them in the bag.

 Don't they look comfy? Now, who wants to go CAMPING???

BRIDAL SHOWER!

Awww! Cute Andrea! :)

 

Andrea and I served our missions together and then we roomed together at college. Needless to say I LOVE this girl! She is getting married on JULY 24th!!! This last weekend, My mom and I threw her a bridal shower. It was a lot of fun!

 

L to R: My sister Holli, cousin Maren, sister Heidi, ME, Andrea, and my cousin Maddie is laying across our laps. I LOVE these girls!

I had the honor of filming Andi opening her gifts while my mom wrote down names of gift-givers. There was a great turn out, we played lots of fun games, and there was AMAZING food! It was a blast!

Natural Disasters Field Trip

I am taking a Natural Disaster class this semester and for  part of the class, we go on a FIELD TRIP. To see a lot of the stuff we've been talking about.

This is a scarp from an earthquake that occurred in Yellowstone. The earth shifted up...I think it was 13+ feet.

This is a huge landslide that happened not to long ago. The place where I am standing is a grave for those who were covered while camping.

This house was covered with water when the water level rose due to factors associated with the rockslide. There is a story of an old lady that jumped 5 feet from her house to land on safe ground as her house disappeared behind her.

Another house in the same area.

It was so beautiful!
