Happy Birthday to the alphabet gang....

I really cannot believe that my babies are 8 years old today. I wish that I could go find the doctors that told me Carson would not survive. If they could only see this kid now. They were all 3 so tiny when they were born, and they are still small for their age,but they are smart,and funny and so sweet I am truly blessed to be their mommy. They are the best things that have ever been mine :) 

Making my Grandma proud...

Today was grocery shopping day, I must admit I am becoming more and more excited about it since I am finally starting to get the hang of the whole coupon thing. Today I made my way to Publix with my pink binder, and my list in hand and here is a little summary of how I did.  2 jars of Bortolli pasta sauce. 2 boxes of fruit snacks,2 80 count containers of Lysol disinfecting wipes,2 16.3 oz jars of Peter pan peanut butter,2 16 0z bottles of Kraft dressing, 2 18 oz bottles of Kraft BBQ sauce,2 15 oz tubs of smart balance spread, 2 packages of Publix brand frozen chicken breast patties, 4 bags of Gorton's 30 count fish sticks, 2 boxes of club crackers,2 boxes of Oreo cakesters, 2 boxes of Tetly tea bags, 1 package of Kraft homestyle Mac and cheese, 6 yoplait yogurts, 1 loaf of publix white bread, 1 gallon of milk, 1 purex softing crystals (32 loads) and 2 family packs of pork chops. My total was $51.34, I had a coupon for every single item I put in my buggy my total before coupons was $92.78. a lot of this was bogo and I also had quite a few Target coupons which my publix will take.  This was the most I saved so far and I was so excited.However this coupon binder is not a new thing, I remember my Grandmother carring hers everywhere she went in fact I used to get a little embarrassed standing there with her as she handed the cashier her stack of coupons. But today I carried my hot pink binder,and my reusable shopping bags with pride and I even had a few people ask me about my binder. I am so glad I started clipping and printing coupons, I am very glad that I am getting the hang of it all, and I am 100% certain that my Grandma was smiling down on me and my savings today :)

A woderful rainy day...

This morning when I woke up I was a little sad. It was raining :( I knew it was coming but I really wanted to spend the day outside with the kids. We have Cassidy this weekend, and I had invited both sets of parents, and my brother and sister in law over for some yummy steak cooked on the grill. So of course I was immediately in a bad mood. I was trying to figure out what I would cook inside, and how would I entertain four rowdy kids inside all day long. And then all of the sudden when I stopped complaining to myself I heard the sweetest sound coming from downstairs. It was my babies, all four of them laughing and playing and just having a good time. I expected to go down and find them playing the wii but when I finally got out of bed and went down they were just sitting in the middle of the floor playing with the puppy , and having a pillow fight. We only have Cassidy every other weekend so I cherish the times when all four of them are together. Suddenly my grumpy day got a lot better and I realized that waking up to rain does not mean that my whole day is ruined. My most wonderful husband just pulled the grill around to the garage and made the best steaks I have had in a while. And all of the family still came over and we had a wonderful rainy Saturday together. I love my family so very much and I consider myself very Blessed to have them all so close to me . Rain or shine spending time with them always makes me smile :)

The best things that have ever been mine..

Tonight I have 3 little boys sleeping in my room. Daddy is out of town so Carson declared it family night in Mommies room. I miss Marshall like crazy when he is gone and it makes me wonder how on earth I will get through yet another year long deployment. But then I look over at my 3 precious baby boys and I think to myself that must be why God chose me to be the mother of these special little guys, that must be why he gave me triplets. He knows everything and he makes no mistakes. He knew that I would need to stay busy, and he knew that I would feel lonely sometimes, and he knew that I would need to laugh, and he knew that I would need hugs and kisses every single day. So God gave me Aidan,Bryson,and Carson. They are 3 of the best things that have ever been mine :)

Coupon Crazy.....

Today I have been busy clipping and trying to organize my coupons , I do believe I have become quite addicted. I have a new binder and I am using plastic trading card sleeves to keep everything all organized. I believe I am getting the hang of it and I am starting to see real savings every time I go shopping. I will be posting on here all of my goodies so stay tuned :)

Well, He is little :)

Today the boys and  I were discussing the fact that they would be 8 in a little over a month, Bryson said well mom Carson does not look big enough to be 8, He said I am not trying to be mean but I think he may be one of those little people....

The truth comes out....

This morning I told the boys they could stay in their pj's while we did school work but we would be going to town afterwords so they would need to change. Bryson said why mommy? When we went to town with Daddy Saturday while you were shopping he let us wear pj's and rain boots, and it wasn't even raining:)
