Just a little update.

It's been a while since I have posted, it is crazy how busy things are getting around here, you would think some major holiday is coming up or something.

Here are just a few highlights from the past week...

1. Clara is starting to walk. She took a few steps right after her birthday party while everyone was watching. She continues to try, but I truly believe that she thinks we are clapping for her when she falls because she stands up, and then lunges forward like she is throwing herself on the floor. Tonight she took 4-5 steps, she was so proud of herself!

2. A few weeks ago I attended a Coupon Class called Grocery Smarts. It is a website that operates out of NV and UT. It teaches you how to use store adds and coupons and creates a database telling you when and where to use coupons that have been issued. I went and did my first shop this week. I can not even begin to tell you how exciting this was - SERIOUSLY. On Friday I went to the store, before coupons and the store club card my total was $40.18, after coupons and club card, my total was $8.43! I saved 79%! It was so much fun!! I got so much stuff for food storage. I can't wait for this weeks adds to come out, it is kind of addicting.

3. Yesterday we attempted to take our family Christmas card picture. They all turned out awful. It was cold and windy so we couldn't take any outside. The inside ones were not much better. Here is a sample of the disaster. I think I will just draw some stick figures, make photo copies and call it good.

I might put this picture on my refrigerator as a reminder to never again make that face while wearing a turtle neck.

This was my favorite of the bunch, too bad Clara and I were not in it, I would totally send it!

4. This video made me laugh! My friend posted it on facebook, so I am ripping it off. I love Donny Osmond, and seeing this made me love him more.
