New Look

Matt has been bugging me for weeks now to cut Zack's hair. I just couldn't bare to lose his curls - even though I have NO IDEA how to style wavy hair like his. ???

Today was the day. He went from THIS wavy fro

to THIS. Quite the handsome young man!

Both boys got haircuts today. Now that they both have such short hair, I can see at least SOME similarities! Maybe they do look like brothers after all!!

"Smile" at the BYU Basketball Game

At the BYU Basketball game last month -
"Hey Sam - Stand right here so I can get the basketball court in my picture... okay.
Now, smile for the picture!"

and this is what I get. This pic makes me laugh every time I see it... Classic.

We went with these people - Sam's favorite uncles these days...

and these people
(Z money did okay at the game as long as I kept the food coming. We had to sneak in food for Z. Is there ANYTHING to buy at a basketball game that has no dairy, eggs, or nuts???)

Everyone was EXCITED to be there in our nosebleed seats

It was so fun! And I finally got Sam to give me a REAL smile... cheesy as it may be.

Money Tip #3 from Jen

I have this fabulous friend who used to be a roommate of mine for several years...

Meet Jeanette.

and her cute family after being sealed to her second daughter, Callie.and two of my favorite friends in the universe. (yes... these pics are about two years old now! Reggs - your hair was so short! My hair was so long! Jen, you officially had bangs! and CALLIE is so tiny!)

She is beautiful, kind, funny, patient, wise, caring, and generous. AND it turns out that she has managed to feed her family of four for $200 per month!

Check out her tips here. She also blogged about it although in my 5 minute search, I couldn't find that post... (Jen?)

Lots of good stuff there, people. She's fabulous AND frugal!
