Update

Yesterday was such a crazy day. After 4 Albertson's trips and 3 phone calls I finally had completed my shopping. I get really anxious and frustrated at this couponing process. The information varies from store to store and checker to checker even. That being said we were able to get quite a bit of food and about 1/3 we are giving away to a food bank. Here is what I got.

40 boxes instant oatmeal
22 boxes granola bars
7 boxes cereal
3 tubs of oats
2 jars of syrup
4 jars of mayo
2 jars of Ragu
2 containers of Breyers Ice Cream (not pictured)
Total: $30


Thank you Jesus!!!

Today Ivy, Ben and I stayed home and had our friends Christina (Aurrora) and her daughter Katy over for a playdate. It was awesome. Ivy and Katy play very well even though they are about 18 months apart (Katy is 5). Ben took 2 great naps and Christina and I chatted all day. It was such a great time. After they left and Ben was up from his nap and fed, we headed out to the Apple store AGAIN (trip 5 in 2 weeks) and picked up my fixed computer. :)

After we returned home and while Ivy was still finishing dinner Ben was happy to be in his high chair learning how to pick up and put puffies to his mouth. :) They are both such wonderful children. Thank you Jesus for blessing our family with Ivy and Ben.





Now I have tons of computer stuff to catch up on. Have a great night everyone.

I am very new to this couponing thing. I did however want to share some pictures from the last 2 days. Here is what is in the pictures…

34 tubs of Huggies wipes
23 mini first aid kits
5 cottonelle tubs (42 ct) of flushable wipes
5 cottonelle refills (84 ct) flushable wipes
2 kinds of hair rubber bands
2 boxes of Special K
2 boxes of Special K Granola
1 – 4 pack of reveal lightbulbs

I spent a total of $25

Christmas Pictures 2009

Here are our pictures from this last Christmas. Thought you would like to see them. :)

Wow 6 months has past

I am very sorry I haven't blogged much. Life with 2 kids and no sleep has been quite the adjustment. I used to be so connected to my computer...now when I try to go near it someone cries. (even if they were both fast asleep. somehow they know)

Here is all the cousins together at Thanksgiving.

Here is Ben, Ivy, Greg, Aunt Gail and Grandma Robin putting together our first gingerbread house


Here are some pictures from our Christmas card shoot. FYI, due to finances though we won't be sending a card this year.

Yes we did have our son.

I know I haven't posted and I am sorry...life with 2 children has been crazy. Yes we did have our son, Ben Archer Hjertager on May 30th at 3:46pm. He was 9.1 lbs and 21 inches long. He looks just like his father. Here are some pictures. Ben is the first two and Greg is the last one.




Ivy is doing very well with her new brother. She has been distracted a little though. Grandma Dorothy stayed with us for the first week and Ivy got all the grandma attention she could. Then at the end of June she turned 3 and we had a big party. She finally got the "Castle Cake" she has been talking about for 5 months. :)


Here is a video of him this week. It's not terribly action packed...but he does talk a little.
