Lake Chelan

Here are some pictures of our annual trip to Chelan. Charlie had so much fun playing with her cousin Jeb. She is still asking "Where is my Jebbie?"

Our Thrifty Finds....We're Hooked!

Here are the results of our couponing trip today:
Without coupons and discounts, this would have cost $236.17
We paid.............................$28.61 and have $10 to spend later.

Some highlights of this trip include:
5 bottles ALL laundry detergent
5 bottles Suave body wash
5 bottles Vaseline lotion
5 Degree deodorants
5 Best Food mayonaise
4 boxes Klondike bars
10 boxes cereal
2 gallons of milk
plus LOTS more!

If that doesn't motivate you to start couponing, I don't know what will!

My Big Debut

The majority of the reason we have been so busy this summer is because I decided to get my Real Estate License! I took a 90 hour class, passed 4 different tests and paid my dues so now I can officially say that I am a licensed Real Estate Salesperson! I am really looking forward to this new path I am taking. I am excited to get started and hope that it goes well for me. I am going to be working with my mom quite a bit and also doing some things out on my own. If you or someone you know is buying or selling.....give me a call!

Visitors!

We have had a very busy past month. My Uncle David (my dad's brother) came to visit from California. Charlie wasn't too sure of him...can you tell?! We always have fun when he comes to visit!


We also decided to have Charlie's cousins, Kylee and Tiler, come spend the night this weekend. Charlie had SO much fun with the older girls. She copied everything that they did. Thanks Ky and Ti for coming to stay with us!
Here they are watching a movie (enjoying their chocolate milk)

Potty

Charlie has been interested in the potty for a while, so we decided to start trying to get her to use it. She has gone several times, but nothing consistant. We have special "potty candy" for her, and that usually gets her excited. We know it is kind of early, but that is fine. Anyone have any TIPS for us???!!!
