This is what happens everyday...

"oooh is that Dad home??? I better go crawl over there and see..."

There he is!!



"Don't leave me ever again!"


And this is just cause he's cute :)



Here ...fishy...fishy...

Happy Birthday to ....US!

Daron and I share the same birthday, which brings a lot of confusion to many people. Yes the same day, AND the same year. We're pretty much twins. Sharing the same birthday is kind of crowded for two people to share, so we've decided to have a birthweek. That way we both get spoiled for a good amount of time :)
We started our birthweek with a trip to Taggarts Restaurant. Daron's parents took us there. It's a good 45 minute drive. It's near Morgan. It was wonderful. I had the yummy French Dip w/ Battered fries! I love fries, and battered just makes it better. Daron ordered the Salmon, which he enjoyed.

After dinner we went outside to see the peacocks and fish.



Thank you Mom and Dad Bergstrom for a wonderful meal!
On our "Real" Birthday, Austin and I played all day and then partied with Daron at night. We went to the Pizza Factory in Bountiful. We discovered two things. First, we loved the bread and salad. Second, not so much the pizza and pasta. Now we know.
Austin loves restaurants! He enjoys smiling at all the new people.

After dinner, Daron took me shopping. We went and tried on hats at Target...

for me, not Austin.
Then we opened presents. Austin was in awe as Daron opened lots of shirts and a game.

He helped me open my present...

Wahoo! One that works (Thanks Katie for helping Daron)!

We also celebrated for the rest of the week by:
Watching the BYU Game at Daron's brothers house. Daron held cute little Grace.

My family celebrated our birthdays with a fun BBQ! We also received our gift Cards to the Melting Pot and Teppanyaki. We are excited to use these. And thanks for the cute shirt and the fun game Catan. For those that don't know that game, you seriously have to try it out. It's only a two player game, but so fun. Daron and I played it for 3 hours the first time!

I experimented and made a Rachel Ray recipe. Pretty good, too much work though.


And of course, our free meals at Red Robin!


Phew! We had a great birthday. Here's to being 27!!

So Cool...Again!

I know, I'm not really the type to show off, or tell you how cool I am. But, this is something that I just need to share, and yes it pretty much tells you how cool I am. Are you ready (If you get confused just keep reading, it may make sense in the end)???
On Monday I go shopping to Rite Aid and Walgreens. I check a few key blogs, look at my coupons, fill my purse with crackers and cookies (hey, it's for Austin) and head out the door ready to get some good deals. I arrive and go at it. Yes, the sales people know me, and Austin. They probably refer to me as the "coupon girl." But, mind you, there are many of us out there. So this particular day I went to Walgreens and spent $9.20 and I got back $10. So thank you Walgreens for paying me to shop at your store.
I continued on, this time with a smile on my face, to Rite Aid. I had a scenario in my mind and hoped it would work. I have coupons, and Rite Aid coupons, and Video coupons. My total before all these coupons was $45..something. Then the magic happened...it kept going down until I reached the total of $14.13. Wahoo! Oh, but that's not the best part of it. I got $7 back in "up" money (basically free money to buy whatever at Rite Aid) oh and I get to submit about $6 or more in rebates, which I will get back as a check, pure money. Do you see the grand total?? Yes, I paid about $1 for all that you see below!!

These are expensive items (yes that's a full pack of diapers), so to get them free is AWESOME!! They are things that we use regularly. The picture below has the Walgreens items as well as the Rite Aid. So with that $1 back, I got all this for free :)

Go ahead...say it...I'm pretty cool huh! If you want to know my secrets, let me know, I'm happy to share.
