Earlier this week we had another birthday to celebrate!! Our little Stephen has now hit the 5 year milestone. Do you remember when your first was born and envisioning them turning 5 seemed like it would take forever? Well, it doesn't. It just plain goes by fast!! Here are a couple pictures of him on the big day (his 'golden' birthday as the others called it because he was 5 on the 5th)
and isn't it just sweet to see the candles being lit with a torch??? (note to self...put matches on the list!)
Now onto blowing out the candles....Happy Birthday :)
In other news, I had a great shopping day today. I was reading a blog I frequent and came across this post, explaining how you can get some groceries for free! So off to Safeway I went and here's what I got:
23 packs of Hillshire Farms lunch meat
2 Jimmy Dean sausage links
7 Ball Park Hot Dog Buns
3 Sara Lee loaves of bread
3 Gallons Milk
1 box baking soda
Total I spent out of pocket: $24.00
AND
I left with a $10 off coupon for my next trip!!
Now I made a few mistakes so you could do even better. First off the milk should have been my last transaction and been paid for by the $10 coupon, but I added it to the first and paid out of pocket. The sausage I thought were 2/$5 but realized later they were 3.99 each, ugh. All that to say that if you go the best deal was the lunch meat and buns, I only bought the milk, bread and baking soda because I needed those items. If you have a Safeway near you...go stock up your freezer!
Cool cake! I hope you all had a great time celebrating his birthday. When my kids turn five I always have a kind of weird feeling, like my baby is growing up. I always think he/she isn't an infant, baby or toddler anymore. He/she is a kid. I wonder how it will be when my last one turns 5...aawww :)

I am wife to a big stud of a man who makes me laugh and I'm a mother of six kids ages: 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 and another one on the way! It may be a little noisy, a bit messy, and slightly chaotic around here but we try to have fun and somehow the Lord has kept me sane :)
