Going GREEN..

or pink, or yellow, or orange, or blue!!! Yep you might have guessed it I talking about cloth diapers of course!!!! My babies will now be sporting the fabulous bum genius 3.0 organic cloth diapers. We are on our first 24 hours of using them and so far I am loving it!!! The initial investment was a little painful to get all the diapers (12) but in five months they will be paid for and we will never have to buy diapers again!!!!!!!!!!! Plus we are helping the environment a bit too!!! They are definitely not anything like the old school cloth diapers of our parents days, these are deluxe! They are all in one diapers. They have the liners built into them and they go on just like a normal diaper would. They have snaps to put them on and they snap length wise also so they can be size small, medium, or large!!! They fit about 8 pound to 30!!!! Carleigh had on the same diaper for 12 hours last night without a single leak. Zander, Lissie, and Brody all also are wearing monkey doozle cloth diapers at night time. All three of them woke up with dry Pajamas this morning!!! I LOVE them!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I am going to get some liners down in Racine so when they poop you just grab the liner and flush it down the toilet!!! My sister has two friends that have been using them since DEC without leaks as long as the white liner is tucked into the water proof outside!!! I am converted!!!

Yep that cute pink thing on her butt is a diaper!!!

Carleigh just LOVES the kitty!!!! Emmery is such a great sport when Carleigh makls her!

FOR THOSE WHO REQUESTED WORDS...

Every Year my "Mormon family" goes camping at the beach in Malibu, CA over easter break. They have been going for 40 plus years. I went for the first time when I was 16 and have gone all but a few years since. It is such a blast!! Beach all day and camp fire at night. I was there all by myself without Zach. He wasn't able to take anymore time off so he flew home for 10 days and then met me in Las Vegas for the drive home. My buddy Aubrey and her sister Marla came for a day and a night. I was sad to see them go but was glad I got to spend one day with them at the beach. I so want to go next year...now how do I convince Zach to make the long trek west all over again???

Lissie and Brielle (Aubrey's oldest) playing tag with the waves. They were so cute together!!

Brielle and Brody collecting sticks to start a fire.

Carleigh loved the beach. She was such a trooper!!!

Lissie and Brody in the rock cove on the beach. The lighting was just perfect for some great pictures!!!

Holli (my mormon sister) and I at the beach. It was so fun getting to be with Holli. She is a big girl now with a husband and all. I can't believe it!!!

Trying to get a picture of the girls. Carleigh was less than happy as you can see!

Family shot on the rocks. I so adore my little ones...

After a long day at the beach. The kids went to bed pretty close to perfect every night!

Brody loved the water. I was hoping he would be scared of it so I could relax a bit but that was not the case. He was playing in the water almost the entire time.

Two cute girls!

Zander, Brielle, Peyton(one of aub's twins), Lissie and Brody. That was how they slept the first night there. Aubrey, Marla, and I were at their feet. It was one packed tent!!!!
Brielle, Lissie, Brody, Peyton, and Zander once we finally got the fire going...
The fire was too bright for Zander so he put on his sunglasses. TOO CUTE!!!
