Plum Worn Out
We picked plums off the tree and played outside until lunch. Well as you can see Luke and Tanner did not make it through lunch!

How we spend our Saturday Mornings
Most Saturday Mornings start out the same...Wake the kids up, Give them a cup of milk, Give them a book to read, Turn on their favorite PBS cartoon (Arthur), and then I am off to cook breakfast.
Well this Saturday morning was a little different. I guess they wanted to have just one party in one bed!

Frugal Living Mission
Over the course of the last month or two, I have been on a mission to find more frugal ways of living. I am researching all kinds of ways to save money in the various aspects of the home especially since the price of everything seems to be skyrocketing these days. I have found a wonderful website called the grocerygame.com. It is a website that you receive a weekly grocery list that has the sale price items along with which coupon to use so that you save the most money! It is wonderful. I have saved so much money in the last two months. I have also found other websites that teaches you how to save money at the store as well as at home. I have to admit I 
have become a little obsessed with the "game" of saving of money. I actually look forward to going to the store to see how much money I can save. It is fun for me. In my attempt to save as much money as I possibly can while not wasting anything that comes into this house I have learned a timeless skill...how to make homemade jam! I am addicted now! I never knew that I could actually create and make jam that tastes as wonderful as this (not to be bragging but it really turned out good!). After you have homemade jam, you will not go back to store bought jam/jellies. Mace and I have two fruit trees in the back yard...one peach and one plum. All of the jam I have made so far as been plum since we seem to be having an abundance of plums! I have attached a picture of my homemade jam because I am so proud of it and so proud of myself for learning this skill.

Katie's First Cereal
We started feeding Katie her first cereal this week. Surprisingly it was not as messy as I thought it was going to be. She really likes it and usually cries for more. I just can not believe she is five months old already!

So Much Going On...
It has been a two weeks since my last post. It is not because I am lazy just a busy mom of four! Let's see...to get everyone caught up on the never boring life of the Salinas Crew this is what has been going on with us...
1. My sister had her birthday
2. My mom had her first chemo treatment
3. Have been nominated to be an officer/chairperson for POTATO (parents of twins and triplet organization)
4. Had family outtings
5. Celebrated Father's Day
6. Hired a contractor and architect for our addition to our home (to hopefully begin in August or September)
7. Had Birthday Parties and Showers to attend for friends
So as you can see I have had a good excuse as to the reason why my blog is not as up to date as it should be.
Mom is doing quite well with chemo. I have created her a website in order for family and friends to stay up to date on her progress. The address is www.caringbridge.org/visit/sandraglasgow
Katie is growing so fast. She has really enjoyed learning how to move in her walker. She loves being able to sit up and see what is going on around her. It is amazing to watch her curosity. I also brought in her highchair to the kitchen so that she can sit with us at meal times. Tonight was the first time she sat in it. She played while the family at dinner. She played so hard that she fell asleep! It was just so cute.
I promise to do better at keeping the blog up to date. I can not promise I will as I never know what my life will entail from one day to the next but that is the beauty of being a wife of almost 11 years and a mom to four kids!

Lisa and Adam Finally Tied the Knot
Lisa and Adam's wedding went off great with only one minor glitch...Amber (Matron of Honor) forgot the wedding band for Adam upstairs in the dressing room of the church! DUH!!!!! I can not believe I did something so stupid. I am suppose to be the organized ONE. I guess we all have "DUH" moments. Lisa and Adam went to Gatlinburg for a few days on their honeymoon and came back with that "newlywed glow". I can not believe my sister is finally married. This is such a great new chapter in her life...next chapter ...babies! I am so excited about being an aunt in the future but for now I will just wait patiently until that chapter begins.
