This is what Emma made for me at Lowes yesterday! our camera charger is ..who knows where, otherwise i would share a photo of how cute she looks with her lowes apron and her goggles(both of which she gets to keep) using the real hammer to nail everything together. Daddy helped of course but when she was done they put soil in and a little plant! then she got a badge that we can attach to her apron and a certificate of completion! then when she goes next she takes her apron and completes another one and gets another badge! it was so much fun and will become a regular daddy daughter activity, if you dont know(i didnt!) Lowes does a little workshop for kids every other saturday or so, the next one is a ready to go kit so call your local lowes and sign up! the first 50 get a dvd on emergency preperadness i imagine! It is of course free! since Lowes do it we checked, Home depot also do it ,once a month the first saturday of the month. Lots of fun for a daddy daughter date or family fun! it was a blast!
Matt and Emma made me breakfast in bed this morning an omlette(with plenty of cheese and fried tomato yummmmmm, my mouth is watering thinking about it!
Emma sang to me in sacrament she sang the loudest and the best out of all the kids ! even the older ones where whispering!
She sang this:
mothers i hope you listen and love this song soooo cute!
we bought a trundle bed for our visitors coming next month, My sister Melissa or Mel as she is widely known! and my cousin Christi. they will be sharing emmas room and we are getting ready to rearrange the room already! we just need to find matresses now......
the financial peace university course we are doing is going very well and we are onto babystep 2, which is dumping debt, our debt being the motorbike loan. im still a little dubious about what getting rid of the loan will do for our credit score, so we havent fully got rid of it just yet until i figure out what it will do for our credit score.
we also started babystep 3 at the same time, which is saving up 3-6 months emergency fund. we have a 3 month fund already (thanks to our tax refund!!!) our budget is going well, thanks to much moving of figures around! but like dave ramsey says "It's your money if you dont like it(the budget) change it!"
We have enrolled buddy into obedience class, we hope to get him to the point where we can let him run off his leash and not worry that he will follow the oh so interesting smells and never come back! We are also hoping his nipping behaviour can be curbed -its not so cute anymore!
I am walking again! Most days anyway and the days i dont i can do wii fit! its been fun to have someone to chat to and get buddy out walking too! I'm going to wait a few weeks and then maybe suggest we invite a few more people to join us, get a group walking!
Matt will finally finish being on call midday Tuesday !Yeah!until the end of the month anyway!
Also you might notice on the left towards the bottom of the page i have added the saver blogs that i follow there are plenty of tips for everyone ..in the USA anyway!
so go ahead share the blogs you follow that help you save money, or let me know what your money saving tips are!

What a great post! Thanks for the update Keri-Anne! I love that Emma sang the loudest, and if I know that girl, it was sincere as well :) Wish I could have seen that. So glad to hear that you are walking, I have gone with a sister in the ward a few time lately but she just moved it to even earlier in the morning, so I don' t think I am going to go anymore (I'd have to get up and hour and half earlier than I normally do).
I'll be perusing your blog saver sites soon. The two websites I visit the most are coupons.com and pinchingyourpennies.com
Miss you tons!
That is so cool that Lowe's does that! We will have to go check it out sometime. Good luck with the obedience classes for your dog!
wow I can't believe Emma made such a cut little gift. She is getting so big. Hope you had a great day and thanks for the savings blogs. I can't wait till Chris finishes school and we can start Dave Ramsey's program. We listen to him every evening.
We are big Dave Ramsey fans. It is always good to be mindful of finances. It really does bring peace! Glad to hear all is well!
