Swim Lessons

I have to say we were all sad to see swimming lessons end. I bet Austin was happy to not have to sit in 95 degrees for 30 min. The boys loved it! I could not believe how much the boys improved just in the 2 weeks! Luke loved his teachers and would do anything they asked him to do and then would do it 2 or 3 times in a row...kind of a lesson hog.

I was not sure how lessons would go (having a 4 week old was not going to help). Luke really wanted to take them, but Blake was not big on the idea. I kind of forced him to do them, but with love. After the first day they both could not wait to go again. Blake always complained that they were not long enough. I think we might sign up for another session next week!

Money Saving Fools

For a while now it has bothered me how much we pay for the basic "necessities" like our TV, Internet, home phone. Things that I have wanted to cancel or go without, but we enjoy them way to much. I hate when it comes time to pay our bills and I see all our money disappear. So I decided that I would make some phone calls to see if there was a way we could save money on these things.
To my surprise these companies were more then willing to give us a discount. All I had to do is ask for it! We did not have to change any of our services or down grade on the options we were already enjoying.

Here's the wrap up:

SAVINGS

• Home phone $10 a month
• Customer loyalty credit for 3 months $30
• TV $10 a month
• Internet $17 a month

We were also able to refinance on the car loan we have to save us another $50 a month.

Total Savings $117.00 a month!

Wahoo!!! I love keeping the money in my pocket.

He's A Runt!

The little man is now 2 weeks old and is now a whopping 7lbs 2oz! We barely made it to the 10% on the charts. They must have measured him wrong at the hospital because he is 21 1/2". I doubt he grew 3" in 2 weeks. This little guys is so skinny that his skin just kind of hangs on him. I told Chad that his skin is one size too big!

Austin is such a good baby and the boys love him. Blake cant seem to get enough and wants to be involved in everything. He even wants to change diapers. Luke just swings by him to rub his head and tell him he loves him. Luke only wants to hold him if he can burp him. We are all loving our little runt.
