Amazing Grocery Trip!

So I have been doing Grocery Smarts for a while, but haven't been sticking to it as much as I should. Well, I lost my job last week,(really long story)so I have to stick to a very tight budget. Smith's has become my fav place to shop because of all the great deals they have. Well this week was exceptionally great. The total for my groceries came to $156.21 and I paid $66.17. That's a $90.04 savings. Crazy, huh? I was so excited I took a picture.

Here's what I got:
-2 packages of 16 count CheeseHeads String Cheese
-1 package of 12 slices of CacheValley Singles Swiss cheese
-Smith's 1% half gallon of milk
-Horizon organic half gallon lactose-free milk
-4 Yoplait Whips Yogurt
-2 packages of Farmland lunchmeat
-Silk half gallon soy milk
-1 package of HomePride white bread
-1 avocado
-3 large peppers
-4 packs of Mentos Gum
-1 4oz can of Kroger Green Chile Peppers
-1 10oz can of Enchilada sauce
-1 package of 12 count Kroger Daytime Cold Meds
-1 package of 12 count Kroger Nighttime Cold Meds
-1 package of 2 count Covergirl brow pencils
-1 package of Lipton chicken noodle soup
-2 boxes of Crest toothpaste
-1 Private Selection Organic Bay leaves
-2 boxes of 12 count Trident white gum
-1 package of Duracell AA batteries, 20 count
-1 box of Kroger Yellow cake mix
-2 bottles of 7.5oz Softsoap hand soap

Pretty good for 66 bucks, huh? My husband doesn't think I can keep this up, but he is going to continue to be pleasantly surprised! Are ya proud of me?

Swim Lessons

Kassi took swim lessons this year for the first time, and I have to say, it was a DISASTER!!!! First of all, we did it at the beginning of June (ya, I'm just a little behind)when it was freezing. Secondly, I haven't taken Kassi swimming a whole lot in her almost 5 years of life, so she was very scared. Thirdly,(is that a word?)I paid for her to have private lessons cause I thought she would learn faster. Nope. It would have been better if she would have had some buddies there. I think it would have calmed her nerves.

Her teacher was so cute and patient, but poor thing. Kassi pretty much screamed the whole time and it probably made Kirsty deaf. By the final lesson, after some bribing, Kassi actually had a descent lesson. That is when I took these pics. Hopefully next years lessons will be better.......

Kassi clinging to Kirsty's neck.

Kirsty:"Come on Kassi. Jump!"
Kassi:"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Slowly, but surely, she became a little more comfortable.

Dinosaur Museum, again.

We love the Dinosaur Museum here at Thanksgiving Point. We went with my brother and sis-in-law and their kids. Here are some pics.

Here are Kassi, Zachy, and Danny playing.
