Some Great Deals!

Last Saturday we decided to go to one of the Flea Markets in the area. They don't really have things like this in Utah so we were excited to go to one of these open markets to see what we could find. The one we went to was called Capital Flea Market and it was huge! They put it on every Saturday in this big parking lot. I couldn't believe the stuff they had there and the deals we found! You all know in my family we love to find a good sale! We had so much fun walking around and looking at all the little booths. They had some really fun stuff to look at and some delicious fresh fruit and vegetables! We are going to get spoiled here with all the wonderful produce!



Of course we found some great buys at the flea market. The big hit of the day was Kaylee's new bike! $26 - What a steal!!! She was so excited she rode it all over the market and has been riding it every day since on the back patio.

Our other big find of the day was a booth that had used Disney movies. I am trying to collect as many of the Disney movies as I can because Kaylee loves them. It is very difficult because of the whole Disney vault thing so I was ecstatic to find this booth. We ended up with 15 movies for a total of $22 - again what a steal right? We found some of the ones that I love the most and some classics I don't even think they make any more. Kaylee will be busy for the next month trying to watch all her new shows!

Kaylee got a bag for all of the traveling back and forth to Utah we will be doing :-) It is adorable with little red cherries on it and it is just the right size for all of Kaylee's stuff. Kaylee also got some adorable pink boots. It won't be snowing in California but they were just too darn cute to pass up!


For those of you that haven't heard Dan got a new church calling last week as the assistant scout master! He never got to do scouts growing up in Oregon so he is excited that he is going to get the opportunity now. They will have a camp out every month and so we found this great big duffle bag that he can take with him on all of his camps. I am sure that the boys will absolutely love Dan and Dan will love getting to be a kid all over again!

Kaylee got a haircut this week and has wanted to show it off to everybody! She thinks she looks so cute and loves her new haircut. The best part is, guess who did it? Her mom! Yes, I have been cutting Dan's hair for quite a while now and thought I would try out Kaylee's. I was pretty proud of how it turned out!


I also had to show off one more project I was proud of this week. We finally got our first pictures hung on the wall. It took about three days of arranging and re-arranging on the floor but we finally got an arrangement of all of our family pictures over the years that we love. It took Dan quite a while to get them all straitly measured out and hung but we love our picture wall and all of the memories that it brings!

Matthew wanted to check the blog and reading it with him made me homesick for California. Rich and I both grew up in Northern California and moved to Utah in 1994. I remember flea markets and our families love Carmel. One year we even bought a live tree for Christmas in Monterey (they have great pumpkin patches too). Lisa (Matthew's mom)
