Newport, RI

So I talked about the first two days of our trip back East but I failed to mention the place were were staying. We stayed in Newport, RI and it was pretty. I guess it was a dead season. Half or more of the shops were closed. It is known for the summer season. The population in the summer doubles or more. We walked along the cliff walk for a mile or so. It went for about 4 miles along the coast.



This is the bridge you go from Jamestown to Newport on. At night it lights all up and is beautiful. You have to pay $2 every time you go across it and then $2 when you come back. I'm sure the locals have a pass or discount called the EZ pass, but I don't know how much that is.







Mom and Connelly out in the bitter cold, and that day it wasn't as cold as the prior two days. The prior two days, we stayed in the condo ALL DAY!!! That way we were warm, and didn't spend too much money. The food there was ridiculously expensive. You all know how Frugal I am. I am Frugal on vacation too.

Just hang'n with my BOY

Connelly has been so fun now that he is potty trained. Yes you heart me, HE IS POTTY TRAINED. Not one accident in two weeks. He will even tell me when he has to go when he is busy playing. I know this is abnormal and I'm very fortunate. I ran upon these picks from this summer and just thought how cute they were. We went to Cherry Hill resort in Kaysville this summer and had a lot of fun.

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.

New Computer

So Nate needed, not wanted, a new computer. I have been out a computer for three days and I thought I was going to die. I missed out on blogging and downloading recipes. I doubt that Nate and I use a computer to the max of it's capabilities, but we of course needed a new one. The old one was four years old and according to Nate was "out dated, and too slow". It did the job for me, but I guess Nate does do Peach tree on it for his company and that supposedly slows things down. All I know it that my computer is downstairs now!! Yeah!! I wanted it downstairs because upstairs was too hot and then when the kids start working on it it is in an open environment. I love it. The screen is HUGE and the keyboard is so nice and I type way, way faster!!! The one thing about this new computer is that the computer place didn't transfer my pictures. I have a million pictures and they need to do this so until they transfer I can't update you on my family pix for now. I think, I ...
