ALASTAIR + LALEINIA

How much did you pay for your new iPad? I'm talking 32 GB, 4G, brand new iPad. $730? $500? $400?… How about a little under $90? Well, that's what we got ours for! And how? you may ask. If you have spoken with us recently, you would know, because that's all we have been talking about! For the last few weeks we have been earning gift card after gift card from Best Buy, each one for $25. After literally combining all of our many gift cards into a 28 page book, we were ready to hit Best Buy. We picked out a brand-new iPad, and spent the next 20 minutes at the checkout scanning our coupons. How excited we were as we laughed all the way out of the store, hardly being able to believe what just happened. As you can see from the photograph, our receipt was huge! The last few weeks of late nights and long days paid off!

This is our niece, Kaylie. She just celebrated her first birthday! Last weekend, we drove up to Sacramento to celebrate her birthday. Lots of family were gathered as we watched her open presents and chow down on cake and ice cream. Anything she did was followed by an "awe" or "how cute." But can you really blame us? It was so nice to see Marc, Jess, and Kaylie. Family time has always been important to us! Happy birthday Kaylie, we love you!

 We have been doing this since the very first day that it started, because we are cool like that! If you don't know what this is, you should!

Did you know that Laleinia's related to Bunney's? True story. And did you know that Momma Bunney is talented with a sewing machine? Yep, also true! Cindy Bunney (Laleinia's aunt) is taking her skills to the test by teaching others how to sew! Her classes are predominately for children, but she's also opened up classes for adults. Sew Fun for Kids  http://www.wix.com/cindybunney/sewfunforkids?ref=nf#!  I had the privilege to go over there last Friday and learn how to use my sewing machine. Her little sewing room is the cutest thing I have ever seen! She has tables and sewing machines for her students. My favorite part of the room are the antique sewing machines she has on display.  My first project was an apron. Go ahead, admire my work! I think I found a new hobby. Sewing is sew fun and sew easy! I love the idea that everybody can create whatever they want. There's so many fabrics and patterns that one can choose...the combinations are endless!For
