A sad day for the state of Utah

One of the great men in our community passed away today. Most people outside of Utah would know him as the owner of the Utah Jazz. He contributed greatly to the state of Utah and will be missed. Here is the link to the story.

Yeah! They came today!

Here they are, tanks two month pictures, enjoy! He is such a fun, cute baby!

Waiting.

I had tank's two month pictures taken last monday, I am supposed to get the pictures emailed to me. They turned out really cute. I wish they would come. That is all.

Happy Self Love Day

I stole this from hoosiergirl5.



I love how I follow through on things. If I make a goal I will do all in my power to accomplish that goal but I also realize that sometimes my best is all I can do even if I didn't accomplish all I wanted to. Let me know something that you love about me!

If YOU want to participate, here’s how the whole thing works:

1.) You’re gonna grab yourself a banner. If you don’t like the one I’ve used in this post, you can find another one here.

2.) You’re gonna post that banner and then tell us all something that you really like LOVE about yourself (thus, the “self-love” portion of our program).

3.) Ask or beg your readers to post one thing that they too love about you!!! If your blog friends are nice, you shouldn’t have to beg…much.

4.) Enjoy yourself and spread the love by doing this on your blog! If you want to, drop me a line or a trackback so that I know you participated too!

Hope your valentines day is great!

Diapers

Wow, I have spent the morning doing figures. You see, I use cloth diapers. I feel like it's my own little way to help save the planet. That being said, I understand completely why people use disposable diapers, I use them when we will be out and about or when we have a sitter come. I also use cloth diapers because it is so much cheaper. Babies don't cost us that much more around here, I breastfeed, I use cloth diapers and I make my own baby food. Well, the other day when I went to get plastic pants for tank I discovered that plastic pants are incredibly difficult to find now. I could only find them at babies r us which is about a half hour from our house. Plus, the material they are made from has changed to this stuff called PEVA, which I have discovered is not nearly as durable as the vinyl they used to be made of. So, I decided perhaps I should look into making some diaper covers since the cost of buying the diaper covers is about $12-15 each. We're not sure if we will have more children so I don't want to put a lot of money into baby stuff. WOW, to MAKE them my mother and I figured it would cost us about $10-11 each. The major cost being the PUL and the fold over elastic. To buy plastic pants it is $5 for three pairs of plastic pants, even if I have to replace the plastic pants twice (I like to have six pairs on hand, so if I had to buy twelve pairs for each size) it would cost $60 for plastic pants from a size small up until a size large. Add that to the cost of making folding diapers when Cookie was born ($100) and it is sooo much cheaper to just keep buying the plastic pants. The cost for one child in cloth diapers at the current price? $160.00. That should last me about two years. I'll stick to the current system.
