Cloth Diaper Update.

Ok, So it definitely has a learning curve to it. I've been discouraged I will admit. I'm not giving up because I love the thought of cloth diapers. But I don't want the extra work, and regular diapers are just so much more easy. I guess I'm just weird and want to have it all. I'm a bit overwhelmed with it all because there so are many to choose from. AIO's AI2's, Pockets, Fitted, Pre-Folds., Velcro, Snaps, Gussets.....and don't even get me started on the brands. every brand makes the diaper just a little different so again what to even try???? I don't know It is so much more work and since I'm not doing it for the environment or anything crazy like that...(it's just my own "crazy" phase)I may ended up just bagging the whole thing.

Which one should we get?

Not sure if you remember but last year when we moved back to Idaho we sold our couch and love seat set. There were several reasons why we did that. We were Supposed to replace as soon as we got back to Idaho but now nearly a year later we still have not done so. We have been couch shopping for a bit and we have it narrowed down to 2 couches. Top pic is a choclate Micro Fiber and Pic 2 is Bonded Leather. Leave a comment and tell me what one you like better.

The Story Behind the Dress

So a few weeks ago I went on a date with my dear friend Amy. We went to dinner then decided to go window shopping. Well we walked by Dress Barn they were already closed but we saw some super cute dresses through the window. The next day Chad and I had a baby sitter so we went back to the store. I showed him the dress and I tried it on. It was so cute and I absolutely loved it. But the problem was the price tag eeek. It was out of the budget. A few days later Chad took me shopping for some clothes and I was able to get like 6 shirts and a skirt for the price it was for the dress. But oh how I loved the dress. Well you all know my Hubby and how he devotes his life to spoiling me. On Saturday night he got off work early so he could get to the store before they closed. He turned the GPS on his phone off so I wouldn't be able to track him. He went to the store got the dress and the store clerk helped him pick out some shoes that are super cute. And when I was doing my hair Sunday morning getting ready for church he brought in my lovely surprise. He actually pulled off a surprise *gasp* Oh how I love my hubby. I shed a few tears because of what he did. Everyone at church loved it! And I thought I looked pretty darn cute myself.

My New Adventure

Cloth Diapers!

Stayed Tuned

GRRRRRRRRR

Oh how I wish my Internet browsers would stop giving me problems.

Boring But Blessed

Nothing that "exciting" has been going on around here. The kids are growing, Chad goes to work, I do the laundry and life just keeps on moving. As boring as that may sound, I'm so happy that my family is blessed not to be facing some of the trials that so many families face from day to day. Chad has a job, the bills are paid, the debt is going down, I don't have to deal with annoying gossip, I'm able to do my crafting, I have friends that are just FABULOUS, And I am able to smile several times a day. Now if those aren't called blessings then I don't know what is.

doesnt this look YUMMY?

1, 2, 3, 500, 600, 15,000

For the last few weeks I've been counting my blessings. I don't think there is a number large enough to number every blessing my family has. Each one of my boys is such a special spirit. And even though I complain about my boys so much, they are all actually really good boys. Each one has their own different thing about them and I love each one. And oh how I love my husband! The Lord knew what kind of Man I would need to be able to get through this life and boy did He hit the nail on the head. I've been looking at other Families and seeing their trials, and thanking my Husband and Heavenly Father, that even though I stress about the dumbest things, I'm surrounded by loving friends and family, I have a roof over my head 2 cars that are paid for and lots off food in the pantry that was not bought with welfare (not that it's a bad thing if you need the help).

I would encourage everyone to take a few minutes and just list our some of your blessings and then go thank your Heavenly Father for all that he has given to you.
