Sorry for being so behind on blogging. Honestly we really don't have anything to exciting going on for me to blog. So for now ill fill you in on what I can. As you all know last December I gave birth to our beautiful daughter Rebekah. She is such an amazing little girl and is full of so much personality. She is still really tiny but is finally filling out in length. Last night we weighed her and she is now 14lb. Im not sure where she is supposed to be, but she looks pretty healthy to me =)
Everyday she seems to enjoy Levi more and more. She even lets him ruff house with her. Ive even caught Levi sharing his blanket with her while watching veggie tales together. Levi on the other hand.. Is a HANDFUL.. He is the sweetest little boy you could ever meet, but man does he drive me crazy sometimes. He is always craving attention and trying to make everyone laugh. Im sure Seth was the same way at the age of 2.
Over the past few months



Rebekah
Wanting to crawl but has yet to do it.
Holds her own bottle "which helps out sooo much"
Hair is getting so much longer and has yet to lay down =)
Is teething =(
Sleeping through the night without waking up.
Laughing at her self in the mirror. Which is the cutest thing ever








Levi
Talking up a storm while forming sentences.
Potty trained.
Picking up words that we are not teaching him = /
Sneaking in the fridge for food. He can seriously eat more than I do. The other day he had 4 pieces of pizza. I was full after 2
Rough housing with Seth as if he were an adult
Growing up way to fast.






Recently Seth and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. It was the first time in 4 years that he was actually home. We had a pretty relaxing stay in an 1800 hotel in Manitou Springs. The day started out with walking in the garden outside the hotel then an hour long couple massage. Soon after we walked about 50ft from the hotel to an AMAZING restaurant called "The craftwood inn" had a few drinks then headed over to a hot tub outside the hotel. Overall we both had a great time.






Over the past 4-5 months I have been attempting "Extreme Couponing" To be honest I don't know why I didn't try this sooner. I will probably never again go to the store without a stack of coupons. About every few days a group of girls from my church including the pastors wife " Yes pastors wife" go dumpster diving. Its legal and sooo much fun" Since Feb I have already stocked up on body wash, tooth brushes, toothpaste, bbq sauce... and the list goes on. I have even gotten formula for FREE. Even today I picked up 10 things of similac formula all free. Its a pretty amazing feeling walking into a store getting about 100$ worth of groceries and only spending 10$ I dont even know how much I have saved us since the beginning. I do know I wont have to buy cereal for a long time..
If any of you are interested ill slowly add a few things to the blog explaining how I do it.


Me with the head lamp ready to dumpster dive haha
And the rear end of my friend Hailey "Pastors wife lol" and myself.




Just a glimps of what I have gotten for free
