Brrrrr, it's cold out there!

In light of the most recent cold front, Cowboy and Boss have been spending a little more time indoors lately. Now I will be the first to admit that Boss is one seriously spoiled dog and I think this picture proves just how spoiled he really is.

as for Cowboy, I promise he is just as spoiled and man oh man what a beautiful dog.

So this is how we have been spending our evenings this week. God has provided a warm shelter for us and now is definitely the time to be thankful for that. Now, I have to tell you this winter has caused our two dogs to be a little less active than usual and after taking the following pictures I noticed how big they truly are.

Well that is about it for now, lazy evenings around this house during these cold winter nights.

Garnier Fructise and Electrosol Deals at Walgreens

Just wanted to let you all in on a couple of really good deals you can get at Walgreens this week through Saturday.
Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner and other hair care products are on sale for $2.99 each. There is a $2 off one product coupon in the Easy Saver Catalog found in the front of all Walgreens stores.
The limit is 4 but that means you can get 4 bottles of Garnier Fructis products for $3.96+tax.
Electrosol Dishwashing all in one tabs are on sale for $3.49 for a 20 pack, there is a coupon on this past Sunday's paper for $2.50 off making these $.99 a piece. If you really want to save, use the Easy Saver Catalog for an additional $1.50 off mail in rebate (this can be done online and sent to you on a Walgreens giftcard).

I bought 2 shampoos, 2 conditioners and 2 boxes of Electrosol today for $6.42 and will get $3 loaded onto my Walgreens gift card at the end of the month.


Wahoo, I am back on track to savings big bucks on groceries and household items!
Not much going on in our lives right now, just trying to get back to the grind.

On the road again

So as you know we have traveled for the last week or so and are finally home relaxing in our own home. We started out the Friday after Christmas heading to Blairsville Georgia where we spend 4 days relaxing in the mountains with my grandparents and my Aunt Danni from South Florida.

Cutler had a great time helping with the cooking while Anthony spent some time teaching my grandfather how to make his computer a little faster. Here is a picture of the drive to Georgia, can you believe we found gas for $1.25 a gallon:Cutler was able to help Nanny and RJ cook pizza and had the time of his life, he even ate 3 pizzas:

Then he made biscuits for breakfast and they were some of the best biscuits ever.

and Cutler found a new friend, Jake.

We left Monday morning heading northwest to Murfreesboro, Tn to hang out with some of our favorite friends, Megan and Jason, Katie and George, and Christa and Jay. We mostly hung out and caught up with them but Anthony installed Megan and Jasons surround sound system and we cooked some absolutely awesome food! New Years eve we had a few drinks, played some darts, laughed and talked until 3 in the morning.

The boys smoked some cigars and played some darts:

The girls mostly drank and laughed a lot: and the kids hung out on the couch and watched some movies:

and for the New Years kiss:

We arrived back home safe and sound this past Friday and have been getting our house back together after dismantling all the Christmas stuff (check older posts to see it). So for now we are getting back in the swing of things and trying to get our lives back to normal..
