This is what happens....

when you let your 19 month old sleep in your bed with you...

She kicked me in her sleep.... so hard it left this little beauty for me....
 

Thats her heel imprint!  
Ok so its MY fault!  We were at my parents house and she woke up crying (she's teething.... AGAIN!) I didnt want to wake them up so I just brought her in the bed with me.  Knowing she would go right back to sleep next to me.  Well this is what I got... besides a kick to the ribs and a smack to the face.  For some reason all my girls sleep sideways in the bed???? I dunno why... but it makes for a really LONG night for the momma when they are in the bed.  I DON'T think I'll be letting her sleep with me anymore!

I think I need to start taking more vitamin C or whatever that is that makes you not bruise LOL

Congrats Haylee... You did it!

Well Haylee did it.... She has graduated (promoted) to 7th grade!

I can't tell you how proud I am of her.  She is a beautiful young woman and has grown up so much! 

she picked out her graduation dress all by herself.  Problem is it was a tad bit short... especially with the wind!  and she snuck right before we left for school and put a little makeup on...

The graduation was held next store to the elementary school in the Community center. They had decorated it up!  It looked great

to our surprise Haylee was awarded HIGH HONOR STUDENT! and she also got the President's Education Award (FYI- I know you are all jealous she got it signed by BARRACK! LOL)

she did excellent in school this trimester.  She brought up all her grades and got nothing below a B.

Haylee and her teacher Mr. McCallum.  He was awesome!  He was also Sydney's 3rd grade teacher last year.  He sadly received his "pink slip" and will not be returning to Condor next year :(  We were so lucky to have him teach Haylee this year. He went above and beyond in not only teaching but tutoring students after school who struggled in math.

we all got to be there to celebrate in the graduation.... except daddy (Matthew) Delaney was NOT a happy camper but that's what you get for having a fever of 103.5 as we came to find out after leaving the graduation and headed for the Dr.'s

Haylee and her bestie Dustina

Me and the girls... yes someone was kind enough to take it so I could be in a pic :)

and this is the BEST teacher at Condor :)  Ms Evans.  She was Kelsee's 1st grade teacher and a major LIFESAVER on a number or occasions.  She is so sweet and understanding.  Couldn't have survived this year without great teachers for the girls.  Sydney had Mrs. Tate, a former Marine herself.  She was a great teacher too and helped Sydney to excel in many areas.

We are sad to see the school year end.... ok so I am REALLY looking forward to sleeping in! but the girls are gonna miss their teachers and their friends.... now its onto SUMMERTIME!  BRING IT ON :)

You spent how much? Its more like YOU SAVED WHAT?

I went to the commissary on Saturday to do some shopping.I took Kelsee with me and Haylee stayed home with Delaney while she napped (dont worry I didnt forget Syd, she was at her friends house)... Ok so my actual plan was to just get a FEW things... but it didn't work out that way....  I FILLED the cart!  I haven't done that, well since we moved here and I had to replenish or freezer and fridge stuff!  I couldn't help myself... so many things had gone on sale and they had just added coupons right on the shelves for things we TOTALLY use!  Fruit snacks..... for $1.50 with a 0.75 off 1 package coupon... are you kidding a box of Betty Crocker fruit snacks for 0.75 a box... could you pass that up?  I sure couldn't so in the cart went a box or 10!  Then I had coupons for a FREE box of facial tissue... yes there was 4 of those.  Then a FREE Relish jar, a FREE BBQ sauce, $1.00 off 2 boxes of Lucky charms, oh but then I had another $1.00 off 2 boxes AND when you bought 4 boxes you got $3.00 off MILK!  Sweet another thing FREE!!!  Then I had a coupon for $1.00 off 2 Kraft cheese... they of course were on sale a pound of shredded cheese for $2.50 then when you buy 2 get a FREE box of Ritz crackers.... (Are you sensing a pattern here???? LOTS OF FREE STUFF in this shopping trip!) yup!  that's right.  I even splurged and let Kelsee pick out a body wash for the girls.... oh but you say no biggie, well for me it was, I DIDN'T USE A COUPON for it! Ouch!  $1.79 hit me hard :)

OH! and my favorite new snack for ME and ONLY ME..... Edwards brand Hot fudge sundae treat.... its a 2 pack.  They are on sale for $2.04 and I had $1.30 off coupon... Yes I am stocking up!

Well when all was said and done and my cart was OVERFLOWING I headed to the check out.  Now at this point, the cashiers see me coming and just wait in anticipation for me to come to THEIR lines..... No really I have been told by a few that they actually see what line I go in and then call to that register after I leave to see how much I saved.  It made me smile when they told me that..... Oh sorry I was kinda patting myself on the back for a minute. :)

I unloaded my cart with the "help" of Kelsee as she threw the stuff on the conveyer belt, then the fun began.... scanning it all and then the coupons.  My total WAS $205.86------  2 FULL carts after it was all put in the bags.  But what did I actually pay, and how much DID I save you ask.... Oh I WILL tell you!  I SAVED $105.28 and I spent $100.58.... yes I got meat, milk, cheese, bread, fresh fruits and veggies and MORE!  

Then it was the not so fun part of putting it all away!

**sorry no pictures, I hope this post didnt bore you.  It made me smile :)**

It was a Success yet again :)

It was One FABULOUS week!

Kelsee stayed home from school sick yesterday. Our Rule is your REST! all day.  Laying on the couch was BORING she said.  After a few hours of laying there,  she was rustling around on the couch and guess what she found???? My camera!  Oh thank Heavens! She said it was smashed in the cushions of the couch. Then  I remembered... I had put it on the couch as I was packing the last bag before heading to Utah for Womens Conference last week.  

We got all the way to Mesquite, NV to the hotel, before I realized it was NOT packed! Thus not many pictures of our vacation!  The only ones I do have are those that my friend took with her camera.

We left our house Sunday after church to make the drive up.  We stopped for the night in Mesquite, NV.  The girls were tired cranky and I had a MASSIVE Migraine! after checking into our hotel room, we drove around trying to find someplace to eat.  We settled on Little Caeser's Pizza...... Why you might ask PIZZA???? Because they had a DRIVE THRU window and I didnt have to get all the girls out of the truck.

(if I wouldve had my camera, picture of drive thru window would be inserted here.... so just imagine it)

We had a fun night of playing in the hotel room..... Watching Tv and laughing.  

We left Monday morning and drove the rest of the way to American Fork, UT. It was a beautiful drive. So green and full of so many colors in flowers and rocks. It amazes me the beauty of this world.

We had monday night and all day Tues and wed to play with our cousins.  Wednesday night we made the trek to Salt Lake to pick up Aunt Jeanne, Gramma and my good friend Tammy Pitts (we've known each other since we were 8 and haven't seen each other in over 10 years)  We stayed up late that night talking and laughing like teenagers at a slumber party.  It was so fun!

Thursday morning we woke up to COLD rain/SNOW (yes really SNOW on April 28th!) we headed out to Womens Conference at BYU.

The opening session was held in the Marriot Center.

This is me and my big sister Jeanne.  We are 15  months apart.

The classes we took Thursday were AMAZING!  Learned alot and realized I gotta work on some things to be a better mommy and wife.  (just a sidenote, when I told my husband Matthew that, he said I dont think there is anything you need to work on! Nobody is perfect! - I know AHHHHH how sweet huh?)  What a great day with my sister and friend.  I was sad that my mom got sick and couldn't be there with us and my sister Julie had stayed home with her so she missed out too.

Thursday night we had the opportunity to go to a concert at BYU.... LOTS of fun performers and music.  Michael McLean, Hilary Weeks among others.

We were all like a bunch of little girls, screaming for our favorite singers.

Friday morning we woke up to More SNOW and COLD!  Again it was only Tammy, Jeanne and I that went to the Conference.  Julie and my mom were still sick :(

(L-R) Tammy(my good friend), me (Jenifer) and Jeanne (my sister)

yet another day of AMAZING classes that were FULL of the spirit and so much good stuff. I took LOTS of notes.  

For the closing of the Conference we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Dallin H Oaks

and his wife. How amazing to be in the same room as an apostle of the Lord.  There was chatter and such until Elder Oaks walked in and an immediate HUSH came over the crowd as everyone rose to their feet.  The spirit was so strong.  It is an experience I will not soon forget.

After the Conference we wanted 1 last picture in front of the Beautiful blossoming pink trees.

The colors of the flowers were amazing.  after so much BROWN and dirt of the desert it was a beautiful site!

Later that night we had the opportunity to go visit another Great friend and her kids. On the way out there we passed the Great Salt Lake and saw this beautiful sunset...

We again had a great time talking and laughing with friends.  I am so blessed to have great people in my life!

These are my good friends Tammy and Bryna

I am SOOO grateful to have had the opportunity to go to Utah with my girls.  grateful for my daughter Haylee for stepping up and watching her sisters so that I could go to the Conference.  But most of all Thankful to my Savior and my Father in Heaven for all the beauty of this world and the blessings of such a wonderful family! I am a LUCKY girl!
