Saving Money

I have never been into coupons or looking for things on sale. But right now since I am a stay at home wife with a barely part time job I have gotten into coupons. Well today Mom and I went to Albertsons. I spent $25 but I saved $26. It made me so excited that I couldn't wait to call Mark and tell him. I feel like its my responsibiltiy to make our money go further.

I am a little bit of a dork but I am so excited!

A Day at the Zoo

Yesterday Mom and I took Savannah, Sydney and Gavin to the Boise Zoo. It was a great day but half the animals we could not see or were not there. It was definitly smaller than the Portland Zoo. We got there around 11:30 because we knew it was going to be a hot day. So by the time 2 came around we were done.

Rachel Palooza

WooHoo, I am 24!!! On Thursday Mom took Mark and I to see Eclipse. It was great! On Saturday Mom took Mark, Shelby and I to AppleBees for dinner.

I found this cute dress at Old Navy for my Birthday. It fell on Suday so it was a good excuse to get a new dress.

Sunday, late afternoon, the Crawford Family came down for a BBQ, birthday cake and presents. Mom made me a cute picture hanging ribbon.

She also made me 2 cute boards. One for pictures and one for my hair clips. They are so cute!

Mark got me (us) the Wii.

It was a great Birthday
