New Blog

I just wanted to let you know that I'm starting a new blog called "Cents"able Momma where I share frugal tips and deals that can be found. I'm by no means perfect at this...but I can share a few things that I'm learning along the way.

I'll try to update it more often than I update my family blog :-). But, I do plan on still posting here, too.

Guess where we were today??

Dan got some free tickets to the practice round at the PGA Tour Championship, so we took the boys today and watched some golf. We paid an arm and a leg for parking, but they had an American Express tent there where you show that you have an American Express card and they give you a complimentary beverage and snack in their air-conditioned tent. They were kind and gave us 4 tickets for all of us...so we were really grateful for that. Then, and lady came up to us while were eating and asked us some survey questions for about 3 minutes. Then she gave us 4 more coupons for more drinks and snacks, which we came back and got before we left. I told Dan that it was worth it to do surverys!!

We saw Phil Mickelson on the putting practice green when we first walked in (which Dan was really excited about since he's his favorite...and it's a good thing we saw him, because I don't think he ever played a round of golf). Then we sawKenny Perry at the driving range. We also saw Padraig Harrington, Jim Furyk, Stuart Cink, Zach Johnson, Davis Love III, Brandt Snedecker, and one other one that I couldn't remember his name at the time and still can't now. It was hard for me to tell who everyone is, since they look so different than on TV and plus they're farther away. Dan took Adam to go to the bathroom at one time. When they were coming back, one of the players gave Adam one of his practice balls. We think it was Kevin Sutherland.

Anyway, we had fun, and I'll share some pictures...

Random Moments

I admit I haven't been very good about taking pictures lately. I go in phases where I take lots of pictures and then I stop for awhile. I took a lot when mom and dad were here and then I took a LOT during VBS, so I haven't been in the mood for awhile. However, I do have two cute pictures of the boys that I wanted to share. The first picture is of the boys at bed time. We bought a new bunk bed for Adam's room a couple of weeks ago, and I was reading the boys their book on the top bunk. It's funny...because Adam was all excited to sleep on the top bunk at first, but he's now sleeping on the bottom. We've got some time...since we're trying to keep Andrew in his crib as long as possible.

The second picture was taken last week. For a couple of days, Andrew was getting up at 6:45, while Adam was sleeping in until 7:45 or so. Andrew and I would come into the kitchen and have breakfast, and then he would ask, "Boz?". He wanted me to put Boz in for him. I would try to wait as long as possible, because Adam usually gets up as soon as he hears anything on the TV. One morning they were watching Boz together, and I was in the kitchen checking my e-mail. Adam yells, "Mom, get my blanket for me!". I yelled back, "Get it yourself.". He was closer to his bedroom than I was, and technically, we were both "busy". I felt bad for saying it, so I got up to more reasonably ask him to get it himself, when what did I see but Andrew coming around the corner dragging Adam's blanket to the living room for him...aww, how cute!! Then they both sat on the couch and cuddled under the blanket together while watching Boz :-).
