Mrs. Amazing!!

Here are the pictures..... Story will follow. I hate that you can't cut and paste on blogs. Anybody know how to? please let me know.
Here is the Story!

I like to call her Mrs. Amazing, but her real name is Annalisa Spencer. Annalisa has mastered something that most people would love to learn how to do. She is this incredible person that loves to find great deals, get free stuff, and to have a little extra money in her pocket. Annalisa has worked hard to find a good system that works and a fun way to do it.

Last night I witnessed this system first hand. I went to Target with Annalisa to do some coupon shopping. I meet her and she was so cute she made me an envelope with a TON of coupons in it and wrote me up a shopping list. We walked around the store and she was showing me all the good deals and showing me how to combine coupons to get free products and even better get products that earn me money. The best part was the check out we just had a pile of coupons and with every scan the price kept going down. I kinda felt bad because we had so many that 2 people moved lines because they were tired of waiting. My total before the coupons was like $54 then with each scan of my coupons my smile just got bigger when I saw my total as........ $17.99!! However, I also got 2 $5 gift cards to target so basically I spent $7.99 to get all these good groceries. Her deal was even better! Her bill was $109 and got it all the way down to $30 and then she got like 4 $5 Gift cards! Wow! This made me so excited I got endorphins and was not longer tired after working four 12 hour shifts so far this week.

I had such a fun time at Target and will for sure be back there every week to find new and excellent deals. If any of you come over coupons that you are not using send them my way.

If any of you would like to learn of this greatness please go to her website at http://slavetosave.synthasite.com/

Enjoy her website and take her advice I took all of her advice and I hope one day I can become as good as she is at this task. Thanks again Annalisa for teaching me all your secrets and I hope I'm not too annoying as I keep asking you questions. I appreciate you!

Fun Weekend!

This weekend was totally fun! My family and cousins are so awesome. It all started with my cousin Todd and My Aunt coming back here for fathers day. On Friday Adam, Jessica, myself and my mom took the day off work to go play with Todd. While Robert, Tyler, Adam, and Todd went golfing my mom, Jessica, and I watched charlie so Angel could go to lunch with her sisters. It was fun to sit and talk to Charlie and play with him I was even able to dance with him (Angel said it was okay). Then we played some Guitar Hero and as always Jessica kick my butt. We then went to the Luau for my Cousin Tricia, who was also in town, to celebrate her engagement to John. (Congrats, you two are super cute together). This party was awesome because it come a long with David's awesome drinks. However, I'm pretty sure at this party I ruined a surprise party for Uncle Don that was for the next day. Thanks to Suz for providing her beautiful house and to the rest of the Christensen's for supplying the great food. Saturday was even more eventful we had a party for my Aunt and the whole family came to visit and to eat great food. Then after that party we moved some of the party to Cherry Hills. I felt like I was 10 again with my BIG cousins (Rob, Tyler, Todd) and Adam all jumping on my head with big yellow tube's. The best part was going down the blue sides we all doubled up and went down the slides so fast. The best combo was Tyler and Rob who together weighed in at a quarter ton! I'm sure that slide almost broke. After an all day of sun and fun we moved this some of this party to Chad's house where we played Human Rubberband. This is the greatest game ever invented! The were a lot of injuries, and even a broken toe (sorry Jessica). I think everyone needs to play this game because you will not be able to stop laughing my dad now has this game per a fathers day gift. Then Sunday came and we finished off the week by have a good bye brunch for Todd. During this brunch we watched the entire Nascar race and I actually liked it all. Thanks to Rob for teaching me all about that sport and introducing it to me. It was nice to hang out with Todd again and to catch up with my Aunt. Here are some pictures of the fun weekend.

This is how MyKelle and Keith felt about the party on Saturday

Happy Birthday to Me!!

June 7th was my birthday and I had a great day! Jeremy gave me season tickets to Broadway across America which includes WICKED! I'm so stoked to see that again. I love it so much! My mom gave me the cruise we took back in Jan. Ann gave me Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii. In the morning Jer took me up the canyon to Ruth's diner and it was so yummy. We went up to Park City and rode the Alpine slide and the Roller Coaster it was so much fun. we also went up to Kamas because my Dad wanted to see Gines Lane and our property he promised us ice cream in kamas so there was no complaining.

My mom got me this awesome cake that was shaped like a purse! Best birthday cake ever! It was really good. At night We went up millcreek canyon to roast marshmallow's and eat Tin foil Dinners.
This is Jessica Hill and Jeremy enjoying smores.
Chris and Annalisa getting cuddly by the fire.
My Best friends from high school came and played with me. I miss these girls and I'm grateful that we were able to rekindle our flame. (get it because there was a fire, ha ha. I know I'm lame)

This is Jer and I about ready to get all messy with that smore Jer is holding. Unfortunately the fire was not big or wide enough to fire up our tin foil dinners so we took them back to Chirs and Annalisa's house and cooked them in the oven. We played Mario Kart and Annalisa gave me good tips on saving money. She is seriously so great at saving and earning extra money if anyone wants advice let me know and I'll give you her website. Thanks Jer for giving me a great day I love you babe your the greatest.

Addison's Blessing Day

This was on Addison's blessing day. It was a great day and Nat provided was with some great treats afterwards. Notice I said Nat because we all know Travis couldn't arrange something like that.

I know this may look like Addison is our child and as much as I would like to clam her I have to say Addy is not ours.


This is MyKelle..... Need I say more?

Here is Jeremy getting his first lesson from Professor Keith and Professor Adam. You look good on the bike babe now just get your license and you will be saving a lot of money on gas!
We went down to see sweet Charlie Cooper. I had the pleasure of holding this awesome child, I love Charlie. I was scared to hold him because of how precious he really is and I didn't want to break him.

Bee's game

Todd and Ann invited us all to go to the bee's game on May 23. 2 of Todd's kids came and all of Ann's kids came except Nicole! (We missed you) It was my first really baseball game I've seen in person. It was a lot of fun and we eat some really yummy soft pretzel's and good hotdog's.


This is Ann and Todd With Ann's grandkids. Jordan is just a silly little boy and Bros was too busy laughing and throwing popcorn at me to pose for this picture. I think Ryken was not having it this night.
After they put on a great fire work show. They had music playing in the back ground and it was a really fun time. Thanks to Ann and Todd for the invite.

Free for a year!!!

We have a new chick-fil-a at the district!

Jeremy loves chick-fil-a so much that he told me all about how the first 100 people in line get free chick-fil-a for a full year. Jer being the raving fan that he is thought that that would be so cool. Yesterday and his way to work he called me and said there are only like 5 tents set up so far (people could start setting up at 6:30 the morning before). I told him we should just go and do it after he gets off of work. Needless to say I rushed home from babysitting Jer got off work 2 hours early and we were at chick-fil-a at 6:00pm. Miranda loves chick-fil-a too so we made her come along with us and Sam Snarr came too.
To go along with this game you must follow some rules. We had to have everything in our area and out of our car before we could check in. We were running around and laughing so hard trying to get everything out of the car into the spot the gave us. We were number 32,33,34, and Sam was number 49.
We got our tent set up and jumped right in because it was freezing out side and really windy too.

The had a DJ there and we had this huge dance party and here I am doing the YMCA. It was so much fun I love dancing outside when your getting rained on. Everyone was having a good time, we played lots of games, and of course Miranda and I couldn't stop laughing until the wee hours of the morning.
This is us standing in line to take roll call. They did this often while we were there to make sure no one would leave and come back, we weren't even aloud to go back to our cars. At 10:00 the feed us chicken nuggets and at 11:00 we had an ice cream social.
This is Jer and I setting up our bed. I still can't believe that I spent the night in a parking lot outside chick-fil-a. It was so much fun and totally worth it too.
These ladies brought a TV so we could watch American Idol we sat in the freezing cold with one blanket on for 2 hours. BRRRRRR........ We are so sorry that David A. lost, but as I stated on channel 2 with KC it was worth it because we get free food. Because I said that one the news my
Dad had to call me to tell me he shed a tear and he was so happy that his daughter knows that anything is okay as long as you can have some free food.

This was us laughing so hard we were crying. Oh good times I just wish the 8 year old next to us would stop yelling at us to shut up.
This was the site in the morning around 5:00 am when FM 100 woke us up. We lined up for one last roll call got shirts and hats. The news crews got ready and we were so excited to finally get our prize that we waited 12 hours for.
This is us and our free year of chick-fil-a combo meals!! We get a combo meal once a week until next May 22!! So one last think to tell you all EAT MORE CHICKEN!!!

Taking steps for Charlie steps.

5K for Charlie cooper!! Here is the big man himself! He is so sweet and precious I was so touched by how many people came to support this little boy. Charlie holds a special place in all of our hearts and we love him dearly. We doubled the size of this race and think there was like 300 people there for him. We all wore matching gray shirts for Charlie. It was a lot of fun and I thank my Mom for this idea she had for all of us to run in the 5K.
Jer and I right before the race. I could believe how many people where there with the gray shirts on it was awesome!
This is the mass that was there for Charlie! He sure has a lot of support.

Adam, Jer, Jess, and I lined up to run to bad Adam and Jeremy left us in the dust.
Everyone from our family was there supporting Angel, Rob, Britty, Charlie. MyKelle and Izzy held hands and ran the whole way! I'm so glad these two cute little girls are such good friends.
Even my cute Papa was there! Good for you Papa, we love you!
At the end of the race Shani gave me 25 raffle tickets to see if she would win anything because she had to go to work. It turns out that her tickets won like 7 or 8 prizes! I had a lot of fun and I couldn't believe I ran almost all 3 miles! Maybe next year I won't take my walk break and just run the whole way! Good job to everyone who participated and we thank you for coming out. I hope we can all return next year and show our support for many others who need our support. This was just my view from the race, if you want to know more about it go to Charlie's website at charliecooperjackjack.blogspot.com.
