I've Waited Long Enough!!!

OK... I just can't keep this bottled up anymore. you HAVE to at least check-out these youtube videos about what JD premium can do for you. I have been doing a TON of research on the effects Omega 3's and antioxidants can have on your body. I'm pretty impressed. Why not take something that is good for your body, but can also free you of so many common health issues!!!!! You've all heard about Omega 3's and antioxidants, but here's the catch (same catch with any supplement) your body doesn't absorb most of what you think it is from those pills you buy at Walmart. (I can go into detail if you want to call me or e-mail me). The amazing thing about getting your Omega 3's and antioxidants through this K48 krill oil is that because of a whole bunch of scientific stuff (yet again... can explain to you if you request it) your body absorbs 48 times better than fish oil and will 100% of the antioxidants. Really, I could go on and on about this stuff and what I've researched, but that will bore most of you. ;o)

Now about the MONEY...The best way to explain it is by watching the youtube video. I want all of you to watch it. It's 10 minutes long. I want you to watch it so that no one can ever come back and say to me... "why didn't you tell me!!!!" I'm going to be honest with you. You can't just sit back and wait for the money to fall into your lap. You are going to have to talk to people. The crazy thing is that JD premium has just started here in Idaho/Utah, so there is a WHOLE lot more people who haven't heard about this....all you other staters!!!! I don't know if you know much about Melaleuca, but is is even in other countries now. Roger Ball (founder of JD prem.) was the co-founder of Melaleuca. This thing is going to explode and I don't know about you, but for $50 a month... I want to be a part of this!! Plus I get awesome products for my $50 (plus in the next couple of months I won't be paying for it anymore). Their all-purpose (natural) cleaner gets nailpolish out of the carpet! My friend's daughter painted it on the carpet and she said it took it out easily. Anyway... just watch the videos and I'll be calling you to see what you think. I PROMISE that I don't care if you tell me NO.... like I said, I just don't want anyone to come back and ask why I didn't tell them about it.

LAGOON

It is true... I went to SLC completely child FREE!!! No, i didn't even take Tanner. I've just been pumping an extra "meal" a day in preparation for this trip. A friend from my ward asked me last month if I wanted to go on retreat with her and of course i said yes. We decided on Lagoon. Friday we ate with friends/family at my favorite chinese gourmet restaurant and had a great time talking. Amanda and I stayed up talking until 1:30 in the morning. My body kept waking me up early Sat. even though i'd gone to bed late and actually could sleep in...sad. We went to Lagoon and had a fabulous time! I took some dremmamine to be sure I wouldn't get sick. I still felt kindof light-headed and a bit tipsy when we would get off a ride. Our definite favorites were the Wicked,and the rocket. The rocket just made me laugh big time...not really sure why, but it was great. It was fun to spend the day just constantly laughing and screaming! We went to the Relief Society concert that night and I could NOT keep my eyes open!!!!! I was exhausted, but i'm also blaming it on the drugs. We went to dinner at the Gateway mall at The Counter and then had dessert at the Haagen Daaz ice cream shop... I love their dulce de leche ice cream!!! When we got back to amanda's aunts, I went straight to bed. Sunday we couldn't get ahold of any friends of family to go to church with, so we went to Amanda's mission president's grandson's ward. It was a great trip and we had some awesome conversations. I kept dreaming about the rides and even found myself leaning in different directions as i was "riding" the roller coasters. I can't wait to go again!

I need Ideas!!!!!!

HELP ME!!! Please give me ideas so that I can get my precious sleep back. My house has become incredibly small the last few months. We only have 2 bedrooms so Hyrum and Brayden have been in the same room since Brayden was born. I have finally had it with the two of them staying up all night playing and waking up before the sun even comes up, so I moved Hyrum into our entry-way and Tanner is in the bedroom with Brayden. I was super excited to go to sleep that night, because all three boys were asleep by 8:30pm!!! Only by 3am Hyrum had snuck into my room and into my bed only to be followed by Brayden an hour later. Not wanting to start a pattern, I put them both back in their beds. Well, the next few mornings went about the same, sometimes Hyrum would just go into brayden's room and wake him up (the kid needs way more sleep than hyrum is letting him have... he's a grump all day!) Yet again I thought I had a solution. I put a babygate up so that Hyrum couldn't get out of the entryway...apparently he can climb it and also just knock it over. ;o( What else can I do???? I am getting up more at night with those two than i am with tanner...not ok! If you need a visual... here is the post of pictures of my house. http://dcmaughan.blogspot.com/2008/05/ucon-house.html
The second picture is the entry way and the third picture shows the doorway to the entryway just to the right of the bookshelf.
oh and this morning i woke up to vaseline in brayden's hair. Still working on getting that out!

FYI

You are all going to think we are crazy, but be sure to check the right side of our blog to see what kind of "schemes" we are up to. JD Premium is our current adventure. Don't worry... we won't ever pressure anyone into doing anything that we are doing. I will, however, keep you updated on what we are doing in case something intrigues anyone else. So if you are interested, be sure to let me know 'cause I'm not going to directly ask you if you want to do it... well, unless i really think it's something that would DEFINITELY benefit you. Again... thinking about this whole JD Premium thing and their K48 plus... just read the side! ;o)

Dallas' B-Day

We celebrated Dallas' b-day a little early because my mom has been here this last week. His real b-day is on Monday. I think we had a fabulous time. I took him to the all you can eat steak place that is just down the road from us, but we'ver never gone to before. It was pretty tastey. Then we went shopping for shoes for him, but apparently his style isn't what stores make anymore. We couldn't find any brown skater shoes anywhere! Then we went to gameworld and played arcade games. I thought that was a lot of fun, because it made me feel like a teenager again. After games, we walked around for a while waiting for the 10:20pm showing of Harry Potter. I can't believe I stayed awake! I liked the movie, but I can't believe it was only rated PG. There were some pretty intense moments! I won't say what, because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but Dallas and I jumped out of our seats at one part. Good thing it was only us and one other couple in the theatre. And to top it off... Tanner only woke up once that night! woohoo.;o)

Hyrum's 3rd B-Day

Oops! I guess I forgot to post Hyrum's 3rd B-day. Things have been a bit crazy! Anyway... some new things about Hyrum. Just in the last few months I've really noticed his maturity level increase. It's been great to have him understand what I am saying. He has an extremely good memory (too good at times). He has become easier to understand when he speaks in sentences. He starts speech through the school district on Monday. He loves dinosaurs and everyone is a monster at some point in time... especially Daddy and Uncle Kyle (my sister's husband...amy's). we have also started the long road of potty training. He does good when he's naked, but will pee a little in his underware before realizing he needs to go to the potty.... I'm open to suggestions!!!!!! Hyrum still has a great sense of humor and is always making us laugh. you can tell he thinks he is funny too. For his party we had Tyrell/Rose and kids over for cake and ice cream. I did pretty good this year and made him a spiderman cake, which he loved. We were a bit lame in the gift department and got him a car toy thing that has an elevator, gas pump... you know what i'm talking about. From D.I. of course. and Gma Maughan gave him a very handsome suit. I also found the fisher price roller skates i bought forever ago for this b-day, so I'll have to give him those one of these days. ;o) Anyway, it was a successful b-day party. ;o)

Couponing

Yes, I am slowly becoming one of those coupon ladies at the store! But hey... Albertons is going to pay ME money for my grocery shopping trip yesterday! Sound good? Wait to you hear what I got!!!!
6 things of cream chease
8 bags of shredded cheese
6 little (teeny) containers of Haagen Daas ice cream
4 boxes of KRAFT Mac 'n cheese
6 things of easy mac
Lysol disinfectant wipes
Dial foam soap/pump
Here was how I did it (Thanks to my sister-in-law Suzanne and Pinchingyourpennies.com)
Albersons had a deal where if you buy $25 worth of select items then you get a $5 coupon to use on whatever at your next visit and you can send in for a $20 rebate check. So, before coupons, I "spent" $25. Only I really only spent $17-ish because of my coupons.Total, out-of-pocket spent was about $21 (taxes and a few dollars after coupons). So, I am going to be getting a $20 check in the mail, which brings me down to $1 spent ($0.05/item) and I still have a $5 coupon to use next time!!!
So, me and my delicious dulche de leche caramel, Haagan Daas Ice cream, are HUGE fans of couponing. ;o)
