I’m only half-way through the pictures and it’s so hard trying to pick out a few to represent our vacation. I kept about 500 and deleted about 500. This is only a peek into our beach trip. This is the first sand castle that we all built together. Thomas, once again, lounging by the ocean. […]

We had beautiful weather the entire week and we used up just about every second of each day that we could. We went back and forth from the ocean to to the pool with snacks in between. The kids were absolutely worn out by the end of the day and the adults were too but […]

    Sunny - Brooke, your pictures look great and it looks like everyone had a great time together. I've always wanted to try LuLu's, but have heard it's more about the atmosphere rather than the food.

    The picture of Joshua catching a wave is incredible!ReplyCancel

Well here it is…the inside of our fridge at this very moment. Thomas puts a certain amount of money in my account every month for groceries that I’m in charge of. What do you do when there’s only $80 left to last you until next Wednesday and that includes “eating out” money as well. I […]

    The Kuepker's Korner - heres a few tips:
    *shop Publix on Sundays- Spend 10 dollars or more and get a pre-selected item for a penny.
    *clip your own coupons at http://www.couponbug.com
    *check Publix's Buy 1 Get 1 Free deals and look for the coupons to go with those items (I've actually gotten money back from doing that:))

    As far as eatting out- know when resturants have their special sales-
    Monday- Little Ceasers- get free crazy bread with the purchase of a large pizza (we get the 5 dollar hot and ready)
    I think chick-fil-a has a deal where kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal(don't remember what day- sorry)
    Hope that helps:)

    Sunny - My fridge looks pretty bare too. I am SO scared at what the teenage years will do to our grocery bill. We got a side by side fridge when we moved into our new house and I definitely keep it cleaned out more. I guess that I am afraid of what will happen to it if I don't keep it pretty clean.ReplyCancel

    McKinney Madness - Ha ha Ha!!! Looks like you will have to start clipping coupons! Hope Thomas lets you have more than that for the beach!! : )ReplyCancel

This is actually the first time we’ve been to the duck park this summer to feed the ducks and we actually had a lot of fun. Although, the geese were pretty mean this year. They were hissing like crazy at us. I thought they might even try and bite the kids but as long as […]

    Kimberly - I love your pictures!! The stair-step picture is so CUTE!!ReplyCancel

It’s amazing what a little photo editing can do for your pictures. I just recently bought Photoshop Elements 7 and it’s so much fun playing around with pictures. Here’s a glimpse of what you can do. Before After

    McKinney Madness - Now I know why photographers make so much money. They must have Photo Elements! I must learn how to do these things before having kids… AND have a great camera. I'm learning so much!!ReplyCancel

I can hardly believe that Camden is already seven years old! He was a Fourth of July baby so he gets a big party every year and fireworks! We had the family over to our house to eat and celebrate his birthday. He wanted red, white, and blue for his party this year and we […]

    THE MORROW FAMILY - Love the pictures! I always love how big and nice your pictures look on here. I think we need to clear off some space on our computer so I can upload mine larger and so the quality will be better. We had a good time at the party…so sorry we missed the fireworks. ๐Ÿ™ReplyCancel
