Vegas Vacation

We took our annual Turner girls' and kids trip over Spring Break to Las Vegas. I'm sure many of you heard that we were lucky enough to get food poisoning when we had only been there for 24 hours, but I won't focus on that misery. I'll just say 13 sick people and only 3 bathrooms. Not fun. But here are pictures of the fun parts.

Wyatt was totally excited to see the volcano at the Mirage- so right here we are saying 'Volcano!' We never did get back there to see it erupt at night- maybe next year!

Wyatt with Haily and Fallon in the hot tub- just minutes before the puking started.

Iker Bikers chillin under the umbrella.

His fat feet playing in the sand.

Livvy and I waiting for the fountains at the Bellagio to begin. Whenever they would pause, she and Wyatt would shout 'More More!' and then they would start again- they thought they were magic :)




The first night we got there, the pool was closed. But the kids were so excited to swim that we decided to let them swim in the jacuzzi tub. Too fun!

Can't stop myself

I know this post is probably tacky- but I'm just so thrilled that I can't control the urge to post this. Plus I promised a few friends that I've talked to today that I'd show them my super screamin deals I got today at Albertsons. This is the first time I've gotten the doublers in my 5 Sunday papers- that makes 15 doublers- plus the three they give you at the customer service desk- 18 doublers! I checked out 6 times- boy was it fun.

You have to really look to see it all- plus 1 ketchup and 2 packs of cookies are missing. The cookies I already put away and the ketchup I left for Shelby at the shop. Guess what my total paid was----------$18.51. SHUT UP! I was so excited planning this shopping trip last night that I could hardly sleep. I kept dreaming about all the great deals. This is a savings of 84%!!! I was pretty excited. I also went to Target and got some great deals (not pictured), but Ike was a pain in the butt. I forgot to give them a few coupons that I left in my pocket. So my deals there weren't as great as I wanted them to be. Oh well.

As I was putting all of these things away today and counting up how much I've accumulated, I had a revelation. Last January, I committed to working really hard to build up a storage. But in my heart, I just wasn't sure how it was going to be possible. A few weeks later I got really into couponing. I looked today and I have a year's supply of most if not all of our toiletries (toothpaste, razors, shampoo, mouthwash, soap) and a good supply of many of our grocery items as well. It was just such a testimony builder to me that the Lord will multiply our efforts- do the best we can, and he'll provide the way!
