I started to photograph my bump at 12 weeks. I lost a little track because honestly the morning sickness did not put me in the mood for pics. I am at 18 weeks now and I'll try to continue posting more pics of my bump. My morning sickness seems to have gone away. I am finally able to eat and enjoy food again. We have our 18 week check up this Friday and on Monday, we find out the gender of our baby! I am hoping for a healthy baby and cannot wait to see the baby. 15 weeks here. We have such great support from our family and friends. Our friend Diane and Jeff gave our baby such a cute gift! I can't wait to see the baby's first smile, or the first of everything! And I'm definitely going to be taking lots of photos. The picture frame is a perfect gift. Souwan took me on a date to a Mexican restaurant. It was a really great night! I love burritos! I told Souwan I wanted to go again for Burritos, like now. LOL. It has been such a beautiful weekend/week h...

Souwan completed the ALS ice bucket challenge. The challenge is to promote awareness and encourage donation for the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) aka Lou Gehrig's. The disease causes a person to have trouble speaking, swallowing, and breathing. After you accept the challenge of dumping ice water on yourself, you then nominate some of your friends to do the same on a video post. You can watch Souwan's on his facebook post.      I was asked by my niece how I use coupons. So here is your answer!   1. Get the Sunday paper and get your inserts from Smart Source, P & G, Red Plum. Sometimes there will be 2 or 5 inserts!   2. I go online to research deals at the grocery store and match up my coupons. Couponmom.com is a great resource. She tells you the item for sale and the coupon to use to get savings. See the picture below.  Make sure to go under the state you are li...

Souwan enjoyed a concert night with his friend CJ. They went to the Linkin Park Concert. The opening acts were 30 seconds to mars and AFI. This was Souwan's first rock concert and he had a blast. He took a couple of photos with his phone.     Souwan had the guys over for a poker night. My cousin Som had a lucky night!   In my corner of the world... This has nothing to do with our week. I found this handsome guy's picture from our Childress Vineyard date last month. And i'm just admiring him.       I'm sorry for not blogging as much. It's been a crazy week. I have been working overtime. I hope to get back to it next week with new outfit posts.   This weeks coupon results: before coupons $33.39 and after coupons $5.05!     After spending some time with Souwan's mom, I was inspired to make this sweet and spicy pan fried tilapia dish.   Our friend Marie gave us green tomatoes from her ...

This was our first Fourth of July at our first home. We (Souwan) grilled burgers, chicken and some vegetables from our garden . I made the family one of my favorite salads using the string beans from our garden. After having lunch with my family we watched a little bit of soccer and Nathan's hot dog contest. I was a little disgusted yet amazed these guys can eat all of those.   Souwan and I headed out to spend time in our town for the fourth evening. Souwan joined in spray painting the wall and enjoyed some of our favorite child hood candy from the candy store.   After walking around downtown, we headed over to my friend Chris's family home for an evening of firework and more food with our friends and family. If you have never had the food from the Filipino BBQ at Autumn Jubilee, you are missing out buddy. Great stuff! I didn't get a picture because it disappeared so quickly. I tried the famous sparkler photo shot, but I didn't have much ...
