So much to catch up on

I have been so incredibly busy. Here are a few of the crazy highlights from the last few weeks:
- Baby Mia started crawling with new fervor
- Mia learned to say "No!" (usually yells it at the dog, and then bursts into fits of laughter)
- Took the family for a small day trip out to the Pawnee Bill Ranch
- So many car problems with the hubby's car---it has been awful since we got it!
- I got some ridiculous summer Flu
- I went on a 4 day weekend trip with just my girls to Fort Worth to museum hop and hit up the fabulous stores (including Williams & Sonoma, Central Market, World Market, Crate & Barrel & Ikea!) --I will blog later of my fabulous deals and just how amazing the trip was!

We are leaving again in a matter of hours to do one last trip to Texas for the next few weeks and celebrate my birthday with my family. We are also calling in a certain family member who has the hook-up on the car front. So the hubby is getting a new car tomorrow.

This is a picture of Miss Mia eating some yummy peaches at her first picnic at the Pawnee Bill Ranch in Pawnee, OK.

I love Free Stuff!

So I went off to do some shopping today and I got everything above for $6. (After Rebates and ECBs)

That's:
18 Suave Shampoos
2 Dove Shampoos & Conditioners
2 Pert Plus 2in1
2 Glade Air Fresheners
4 Cover Girl Foundations
1 Dove Skin Revitalizer

I'm not keeping the Pert Plus or the Suave shampoos--I bought them to donate to our church's food pantry. I'm very excited about using the Skin Revitalizer!

Our little model

Although I am becoming more and more frugal, I seem to not be able to help myself when a cute deal for Baby Mia comes along. We decided to take her pictures in this ridiculously expensive dress for a small girl. However, we bought a much bigger size so that she could also wear it through Christmas. (Such a West Texas tradition to dress your small children like mini-adults for Christmas!)

My sister-in-law found the dress for Mia & they had another one for girls my niece's age (which is 9 going on 22). So the kids all came up to get their pictures made in the matching outfits. We walked around the OU campus all morning to find great spots for photos. I am so pleased with how the all turned out!!



She couldn't take any more pictures. What a mean mommy who takes pictures of her crying baby! = )
