Hanging Rock State Park Photo Overload!

We had a mini family reunion a few weeks ago at a state park about an hour away from us. We hiked all the way to the top. My sister in law carried Harper on her back, she is a strong woman!  Bentley hiked by himself. He did good until we got almost back to the parking lot and he had a bit of a meltdown. But overall I think it went well. 

We celebrated my nephews birthdays while we were there. It was so nice to all be together for a day!


I don't know how he does that with his tongue!


Playing in the leaves!




Sitting quietly together for a few minutes!



Weston, my youngest brother in law, Megan my oldest sister in law, and my two babies!



Frugal Accomplishments and Weekly Goals


 My sister in law Alyssa, having fun with Harper on a hike two weeks ago!



Last Week Accomplishments:




I received another bag of hand me downs for Bentley and my wonderful sister in law gave me some clothes to look through for myself! :)


I finally got my garden in the ground! We ended up planting 12 tomato plants, 4 watermelon, 4 cucumber, 2 green bean, and 4 banana pepper plants.  Michael built me a raised garden bed and filled it with part dirt and a little dried cow manure. All the plants are looking well. 


I also received a barely used bread machine from the same wonderful sister in law. I'm so excited!


I used coupons to pick a few things at the store including detergent and pasta. 


I filled out a rebate form for ground beef purchased at Walmart. I will receive a refund check for about 5$

I signed up for two more online classes at the local community college. I wasn't aware I had any funds still available until the last day but I got registered for Spanish and US History online and had some money still left over. I used in to purchase a new jump drive and headphones. I should still receive a refund check of about 350$ in two months or so.
