Costco accepting Foodstamps

Side note from me: I am really glad they are doing this. This will help poor college students who are married with kids. The certain foods that we need like, bread, meat, canned goods and snacks will be a huge save for us and the Foodstamps. Thank you Costoc! Costco Wholesale Corp., one of the country's largest warehouse-club chains, said it will start accepting food stamps at its 420 stores nationwide, as the number of Americans receiving government assistance continues to soar. Under pressure from politicians, Costco began accepting food stamps at six New York City stores earlier this year and was surprised to discover that this led to a rise in memberships and sales. Other warehouse-club chains began accepting food stamps within the last year. "Given the economy and layoffs, this was a positive for our members and the right thing to do," said Richard Galanti, chief financial officer of Costco, which is based in Issaquah, Wash.

First Snowfall of 2009/Haircuts

J&J loved their first taste of "Dookie Balls" or No Bake Cookies. YUM..... Missa has a new look... hair cut that is slighty layered, above her shoulders and a small hint of an A-line cut. I was tired of the stringy long hair AND she also got glasses! She wears them much more than Jackie. ALSO we got our first official snowfall. We did get snow about 2 weeks ago in the middle of our fall (WIERD) but it didn't stick. I want this to go away until at least Thanksgiving. But oh well... what can you do when you live in Utah.

Chow Mein Noodles?

  Can you guess which twin this is in the picture on the upper right? Jare Bear or Jacolina (new nickname)? Troy went hunting with my B-I-L, Geff last weekend up Mount Timpanogas.   So this is what happens when you fall asleep for 45 minutes. I had been making deserts for a jewelry party and after getting done I needed to rest. Missa had Chow Mein noodles with her and was walking around (big no no in our house). Well 45 minutes goes by and things are quiet. I am thinking oh this is great! For them it was... eating noodles off the floor. Hey it kept them quiet.

Building Tents & Glasses

Image
  During LDS General Conference... Troy built the kids a tent to help keep down on the noise so we could pay attention. The kids loved it! We also found out J.O's favorite toy............... purses that she wraps around her neck.   J.O. got glasses this week and here they are! She looks funny especially cause she doesn't have a lot of hair. :)

First Weekend of October

Image
Wow I can't believe it is October... Christmas will be here sooner or later. We went to the Black Island Farm Festival. It was free to get in and do all the little kids stuff. It was fun and Marissa loved the slides.     "Jare Bear" (new nickname Troy calls him) had a hard time the last half... He needed a nap, teeth hurt and J.O kept stealing all of his twizzlers that were keeping him happy.   Troy, his brother Brad and Grandpa Dan waiting in line to have a seat in the LDS conference Center for LDS Priesthood Session. They were 10 feet from the doors when the notified people waiting in line there wasn't any room. bummer. They tried... and went to another Stake Center Chapel and watched the Priesthood Session there.   Jared's favorite toy....................................... the door stopper.
