My 23rd Birthday Celebrations...
The Actual Birthday Day....
I awoke to this....I then zipped off to work. (Where I forgot my camera!:( ) I arrived to find a Big Banner that said Happy Birthday Tiffany! With Big Happy Birthday Balloons! They made a yummy chocolate cake! (Thanks Ana for doing that!) I then got to pick what I wanted to eat... so Dr. L got the office Olive Garden!! Yummy!

And apparently my husband has been listening to me, because I got this...

Yay!!! Im so excited! Now to help loose those extra baby lbs! :)
This was the year of Gift Cards! From my In laws I got a TJ Maxx card! Mallory & David a Victoria Secret Card and from my Dad a Texas Roadhouse Card. Seriously what more could a girl want? Clothes, Workout, A Good Steak, and Flowers! :) Thanks Everyone!
After I came home from work. Unfortunetly Alan had to go to work. So David and I spent the evening together with the kids. Once we got them to bed we tuned into our favorite shows! Ghost Hunters International and Scare tatics!
Tomarrow is my Party...

Thank You Stimulus Check!!!
We got a nice $1500 Stimulus Check this year! So what did we do with the money? Well we took half of our check and spent it on things we need and wanted. Im not the type to just go to the store and buy it. I study it all out, and shop around to get the best deal possible!
Such as...
A New Vacuum! We chose the Bissell 6591 PowerTrak Bagless Revolution Upright Vacuum! because it had the best rating and it was reasonably priced! So far we are loving it!
A New Weed Eater! We got the Black & Decker 12-Volt Cordless String Trimmer! Since we live next to a field, we have snakes that like to hide in the tall grass! Now we are able to cut it down! The best part about this is its rechargeable battery! We just plug it into the wall mount after and save money on gas! Plus its super lite weight!Our Double Stroller!!! Although its pretty dang heavy, its the most easiest stroller to push that we have owned! Its pretty deceiving because when you push it, it is extremely light weight! We love it! We chose the Graco Ionic Quattro Duo Stroller because it was the same color scheme as our Graco Snugride Car Seat. Best of all our Car Seat snaps right into place! Brenton loves being up front to see everything! We have gone on 2 walks so far and we have only had it for less than a week! Here is a slideshow of us enjoying Our New Stroller!


Last but not least! The most exciting thing, a New Couch Set!!!! A Microfiber Sofa and Over Sized Chair! We love it!!!!!! It soooo comfy and totally a Tiffany piece of Furniture! Although the only draw back is our family room is so small! So it kinda looks a little funny. But it works until we get a bigger house! :)
As for the other half of the Stimulus Check... it went to debt!
Thanks President Bush! :)

Happy 4th of July!
This year we took it easy at home. Mrs. Malson came for two weeks! We had a BBQ with Ball Parks, Angus Hamburgers, Fresh Corn on the Cob, Chips, 4th of July Cupcakes, ect. Of course tradition being buying fireworks. We only invested $100... don't worry we still have half of them left for Pioneer Day! We were even able to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks at BYU right from our house! As you can see we had a blast!
Also here is a slideshow from the Sunday before 4th of July! Its also another tradition of ours to dress up in Red, White, & Blue! For more pictures of Savannah in her adorable dress go to her Blog!
