Our Weekend in Idaho

Reese, Mason, and I were able to spend some quality time in Idaho this past weekend with Reese's family. Here are some of the moments where I actually remembered to get my camera out of it's case and take some pictures.

This is Mason bulking up before we head up North.



Here are some pics of Maddie, Rex, and Mason playing.

Summer Adventures in Review

Starting Grocery Smarts

I just wanted to show off my first purchases through Grocery Smarts. Here is what I bought at Albertsons last week:
Nalley Pickles - $1.00 ea
Homelife Eraser - $1.00 ea
Glade Fabric & Air Freshener - $1.99 ea
Heinz 57 - $1.67 eaMy total bill would have been $64.17 but with my preferred savings card and coupons by bill ended up being $29.10. I saved $35.07! Yay for saving money while building a short term food storage!

Still Alive

Yes we are still alive here at the Hulbert House. We (meaning me, Lacey) have been concentrating on house/craft/putting in another bedroom/planting/lawn care/you name it we have been doing it projects. I noticed that Summer was slipping away fast and so instead of staying indoors and blogging (even though I love to do it), I decided to get in gear and get as many things done as I can outside before I bunker down indoors until next spring.

So sorry that our blog is boring but it is on vacation while we get as much work done as we can before the big freeze hits.

Yard Sale!

Reese and I combined with 3 other families for a great yard sale on Saturday. I don't have any pictures but I just wanted to let everyone know that our basement has been cleaned out of all the junk that was down there. Now we will be able to add yet another bedroom to the basement. So for all of you who would like to come and stay the night in the promised land (a.k.a. Cache Valley) we will have a nice and cozy room for you to stay in.
Since I don't have any pictures of the yard sale, here is a picture of the beautiful flowers that Reese gave me for our 3-year anniversary August 6th.

Beginning of August

Well, it has been a while since we posted last so here's an update. It's kind of large so I skipped on a lot of wording and just did mostly pictures. Enjoy!

My mom came up last week and used her green thumb to help us get some plants into our yard. Here's my mom sweeping up some clippings, our plants that were planted, and my poor smashed finger. I smashed it while moving rocks in our yard. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER I was in so much pain.

Then on Saturday, I was able to attend my friend's wedding. Beth made a beautiful bride and I am so excited for her!














Once we got back to Logan from Salt Lake and started getting back into a routine, Mason had an impromptu sprinkler party in our front yard with his friends Jake and Kate. The kids were so funny in the water and they were all drenched by the time we shut off the water.

Pioneer Week & our Weekend Projects

Here is a little glimpse of what we did this past week. Reese isn't in any of the pictures because he was studying for Part II of a test to get more licenses for work. His test was Friday and he passed with flying colors! Congratulations Reese! So here is a glimpse of what Mason and I did this week.

So once Friday came along Reese headed down to Salt Lake to take his licensing test. When he got back he pulled out the whip and put Mason and I to work. Well, he put me to work, Mason took a nap. Friday, we started framing walls in the basement for another bedroom. Saturday, Reese used a tiller and I used a rake to clear out our side yard to make it into a walking path. We also framed another wall downstairs with Mason's help. Check it out...

Sizzlin Saturday

Well, our Saturday was a little busy and full of good times. Reese and I started out the morning with a mini triathlon at the Sports Academy. We started out with a 150 meter swim then hopped on our bikes and biked a total of 5 miles. Then we started to run our 1.5 miles. Reese and I did well in our first competition in two years. Reese actually took 1st place with a time of 27:11. Pretty good for no training. I, however, got 3rd overall with a time of 30:03. It was sweet! We even got little medals. I'm sorry we didn't get any pictures. Our camera battery was dead.

As a reward for our awesome racing abilities, we headed up to Bear Lake for the rest of the day with some friends. This time we had Reese's parents' Jet Skis. (Thanks for that, Randy and Win). Mason loves the Jet Skis. He just sits back while he has one hand to steer. And again, he loved the sand and the water.

Family fun in the Sun!
