A new blog to check out!!!

I have been dappling in the new frugal lifestyle movement that has been going on lately, ( I'm kind of flop but I'm trying) I've made an atempt at using coupons but my impulse buying usually wipes out any money that I've saved. And I've been trying to build up some food storage as well, and yesterday believe it or not I made laundry detergent from scratch. It's always nice to get advice from someone who has a nack for for these types of things. So if you are interested in learning more my friend Stephanie has a new blog that has some really fun ideas. http://myfrugallifestyle.blogspot.com

We love this little boy!!!

Of all the gifts Aubrey and Hali have ever recieved Blake is the best!! They never grow tired of him. I keep waiting for them to get irritated or bored with him, but they never do. He is the first person they want to see in the morning, and they will always drop what ever they are doing to play with him or help me with him in any way. I seriously think they are more patiant with him than I am. I can't believe how lucky I am to have these three little children, I am so proud of each and every one. I love them more than words can say.

Our new winter hobby

As many of you know us Toones spend alot of time on the lake, we even found out we enjoy the water in winter as well. William probebly went ice fishing once or twice a week Jan.- March the kids and I even tagged along a couple of times. We had a blast. I'm glad Will found a hobby that can turn into family time as well. Will turned the big 30 last Thursday and I got him an Icefishing shack for his birthday to bad the ice fishing weather is about over, I am sure he will get lots of use out of it next year.
