My Kroger Mini Haul

I didn't buy much at Kroger today, but I didn't pay much either. The total came to $13.20, but I only paid 1.38 thanks to coupons! If you shop at a Kroger, you should go to www.Kroger.com/digitalcoupons. You can now upload digital coupons to your Kroger Reward Card to shop with in the store. Happy saving!

TV Free Thursday

It was a TV free day in the Johnson household today! We played outside in the backyard (it was nearly 70 degrees in Virginia Beach), went to the YMCA, had a crazy, chaotic trip to the Harris Teeter, enjoyed a home-cooked dinner (made by ME!) at the dinner table together, and read some of Dr. Seuss's best books! Now, I'd like to say that we had a TV free day because I just decided to do better things with our time, but it was actually the result of somebody's misbehavior. As it turns out, something that was intended to be punishment ended up being quality time for the family. After cleaning up from dinner, I walked into the den to find my sweet children cuddled up and reading in a chair. I predict that there are going to be many more tv free nights in our home.

Wintergreen Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation at Wintergreen! We didn't open the computer, text, or call anybody. It was just us for 3 nights and 2 days, and it was perfect!

Ready to go to the resort for the day

We ate lunch at a restaraunt with a view of the slopes.

Kendall hiking through the snow.


Dylan on his way to tubing!


Dave and Dylan had lots of fun tubing on both mornings.
Dave took Dylan night skiing.

We found a patch of land on the way up to Skyline Drive to stop and play. I thought that we would check it out for 10 or 15 minutes, but we ended up staying for more than an hour.



There was a little mountain to climb up.


This sign was laying down in front of the road to Skyline Drive.
Dave told me that he didn't want to offend me, but he didn't think that I was strong enough to climb the mountain.


I showed him!!!

After a few hours of playing in the snow at Ridgely Park, Kendall as all tuckered out!
