Family Update

Thayne has been super, super busy with school, his calling, and trying to keep us happy over the past month. Poor guy. School has been everything it was hyped up to be this year and has been tough on him (and me) over the past month or so. We have had a little bit of fun around here.


Melissa and I took Kandis to the Chocolate bar for her birthday this week. The desserts were very rich and amazing. We went during lunch time and we were the only people there which was a good thing with our three crazy little ones. The first picture is part of the mess that Hugh and Tyson made. Melissa had already cleaned up part of it. Tyson really wanted to eat Hugh's cheerios so I let him have some and he threw them up part way through our meal. Quite disgusting! By the way restaurants.com helped pay for our lunch, $10 gift card for $0.60!

Tyson and Hugh went to one of the free classes at the gymboree. They had a lot of fun. I would recommend everybody go to the one free class but the classes are super expensive after that. My budget definitely can't afford it. Tyson had fun until some little girl whopped him on the head. He wanted to stay super close to me after that incident

Thayne and I even got out on a date with just the two of us. We had bought a $25 gift card for $2 through restaurants.com at the Friar's table. While the food was exceptional,we felt a little out of place. We split a plate and were later informed that normally there is a $10 surcharge for splitting a plate. Talk about ridiculous! The manager greeted almost every other table but didn't give us the time of day. The place was to upscale for us. We weren't sure how to act and felt a little like fish out of water ordering our split plate of food and water. However, look at Thayne's steak. Doesn't it look scrumptious? You can't see my crab legs very well but they were also awesome.

Looks like you guys are having lots of fun thanks to restaurant.com! :) Tyson is getting so big! What a fun kid!

I've always wondered if restaurant.com worked or not, but that's so nice to have you prove it's not a scam. We'll definitely be trying it out in the near future. I saw your blog book and was wondering if you made it through an online site and if so where? My sister was asking around earlier about it, but ended up just printing each page and doing a do-it-herself scrapbook.

Hi Guys! Looks like things are going well. I'm sorry dental school is difficult, but hang in there! And if you're ever too bored, just email me some of your money saving tips, Natalie, cause I'm into that stuff too and would love to hear what you're up to!
