Free Chocolate!!!

Every Friday morning ( May 8th through September 25th, Mars will be giving away a FREE chocolate coupon (up to $1 value) to the first 250,000 who submit their information online at:


You can get 4 per household! It takes like 30 seconds to do. I did mine this morning, it said it will get here in 6 weeks, so you have to wait awhile, but how awesome will it be in 6 weeks! Anyway, just thought someone out there is like me and would do most anything for free chocolate; so check it out if you'd like.

Also, this is a really cool site where there is a lot of coupons for FREE stuff. (it's where I found the chocolate). Check it out if you get a chance. www.fistfulofcoupons.com, is what she just moved her site to, but her old site was www.fistfulofcoupons.blogspot.com, which is really cool also.

New Stuff

So, we have been busy. Sorry for no pictures this time, but I just thought I would let everyone know what's been going on. First, it is official that Matt is not going back to law school, instead he got two new jobs. One part time at the apple store, and one full time that is more of a 'career' at Northwestern Mutual as a financial planner. He starts the apple one this Saturday, and the Northwestern Mutual one officially in August, but he has to take three tests in the month of July to certify, so he didn't really get away from studying.

Next, we are moving to Castle Rock; which is about 2o minutes south of where we are now. It is really close to both of Matt's jobs and we will save almost $300 a month in rent because it is further from Denver city. We move on July 18th. I am excited about the move. Castle Rock is small town with lots of open space and horses and cows and such around; but we live seriously one minute from the Castle Rock Outlets and there is every store and restaurant around so we don't get the small town out in the middle of nowhere feel. Also, our friends Sam and Becky are moving to the same apartments next week because Sam also got a job at Northwestern Mutual so we are excited for them to be around.

And just in other news; Jonah is talking like crazy. He now says THREE words, which are "ma", "da", and "uh-oh". So hurray for him. Mikelle is doing well and getting pretty sassy. I hate taking her anywhere because she pretty much refuses to listen and we leave the park, pool, museum, whatever, with me dragging her out and yelling and almost swearing at her; but she is still a sweetheart some of the time. I am seven months pregnant next week and things are going good there.

Hudson Gardens

Yesterday it was free day at Hudson Gardens. It was raining all day, but the last hour they were opened it cleared up and was warm and beautiful, so we made our way down and I loved it. Matt was really bored, he said I was weird because I thought it was fun to look at flowers and water fountains, but it was very beautiful there and the kids had fun. Here are some pictures:









Hail Storm

Lots of rain here, the other day we had a hail storm and the kids thought it was awesome. I am getting a little sick of it because we really just want to go swimming and play at the park; but I guess it is okay because technically, it is still spring. Just so you know, I looked up when the first day of summer is, and wikipedia said "it is June 21" and even more specifically, at "1:45 a.m.", except for those dang Californians; wiki said "note that summer begins on June 20, 2009, at 10:45 P.M. PDT in California." I guess they get one extra day of summer. Anyway, here are some pictures:

Box Sliding

This is Matt.

The kids like slides so I decided to put the diaper boxes to good use and make a slide with couch cushions. I think they liked it! In our house we are going to have a huge slide. It should be fun!

This is what we do on nights we are bored. Put the kid's lives in danger! Mikelle fell of the side one time and hit her head. I convinced her it didn't hurt though and we went back at it!

I like how when Jonah gets excited he jumps around like a mad man. I think he is a little crazy.

Help a brother out!
