Why Costco Is GREAT!

Ok, I know I need to post a real post, and I'm going to, I promise. However, I was headed to Costco today so I looked through the coupon book they send each month. They had a coupon in there for Buy One Get One Free seasons of X-Files and Stargate: SG1. We aren't so much for X-Files, but Marcus LOVES Stargate (I will admit it is growing on me to where I will actually suggest watching it.) I figured that since it was a B1G1F coupon the seasons would probably be close to suggested retail of around $50/season. That adds up when you still need seasons 3 - 10. I figured if it was a decent price I would get 3 and 4 for him. So I get there and look at the price. Imagine my surprise when I see they are $24.99 per season. With the B1G1F coupon it made them $12.50! $12.50 for a full season of anything is awesome. So we bought all 8 of the seasons we didn't have. 8 full seasons cost us $100.00 - at the Amazon price, which I usually consider pretty good, those 8 seasons would have cost us $240. Those are the visits that remind me why I like Costco!

Asleep in the Hall

I couple of weeks ago I took the side off of Livvy's crib and put a toddler rail on. Since then she has been trying to see just what she can get away with at nap time. Yesterday, when I went to check on her, I found her at the end of the hall where I couldn't see her from the other room. She had fallen asleep there. I was trying really hard not to laugh, but just couldn't help it in the end, but this video is pretty funny.

OLIVIA

In our old house, I had Livvy's name in vinyl lettering on her wall. Since we are renting this house I didn't think I should put vinyl on the walls, so I painted the letters of her name so I can put those on the wall instead. I think they turned out pretty cute so I thought I'd share.

(I thought I had a picture of the old one on this computer, but it is on the other computer which is not working right now.)

Here are the letters with the base coat of paint and the pin striping.



This is the pink over the white and the pin striping.



Here it is with the striping taken off, before it is finished.



And here is it finished.

Livvy's Birthday

Last week end we were lucky enough to have the whole "Mays" clan, except Frampa Rob, come visit for Livvy's birthday. We went to Jumpin' Jacks on Saturday morning. It was so much fun. It is a big indoor play place with 7 or 8 blow up party things. A giant blow up slide, an obsticle course, etc. Livvy, Jessi, and I got right to work playing on the huge slide. Unfortunately, the first picture I went to take my camera died. So, I didn't get any pictures. Anyway, later Saturday afternoon we had a little party with everyone. My grandparents who live on the other side of St. George were able to come over as well.






While everyone was here, we were also able to play a little rock band. Livvy decided her calling is to be a drumer.



I have been letting Liv pick out her own clothes for when we are just hanging out at home. This is what she picked out the other day, and she has been wearing the same thing pretty much all week. She really likes pink.


Yesterday, when I got her up from bed in the morning, this was her CRAZY hair.

New House

For those of you who have been asking... Here are a few pictures of our new, and messy, house.




The couch in the first picture is our new couch. For those of you who weren't aware, we got a new couch. (I haven't been told as much, but I have a feeling someone felt a little bad for making our family move again so soon.) This is our new table as well, that can seat 8! No more putting camping chairs around our round four person table!

Daddy

Since arriving in St George Livvy has been a little bit clingy. She has had a hard time going to bed at night, freaks out if I leave the room, and gets very upset when Marcus leaves for work. We have started staing in the doorway so she can wave to him and see him drive away. Today as he was pulling out of the driveway she yelled, "Bye Dada, I me you so mun!" (Bye Daddy, I'll miss you so much.) It was so cute, and great sentance work. :)

St George

The past few weeks have been a little crazy for us. Four weeks ago today, Marcus came home early from work to tell me that Winder wanted him to be the new General Manager of their St George location. So three weeks later we found ourselves moving in the a house down here. I will post pictures of our house soon, but right now all you would see is boxes.
