Call The Midwife

This is a show I just started on Netflix and am loving it! The show follows a small group of midwives in 1950's England. I seriously am never bored with anything on pregnancy, births, or babies so this show satiates my appetite :)

We Can't Wait To Move! :(

Since our time in Laramie is running up, everytime something goes amuck with this town I just say to myself, "I can't wait to move!" The reason why I am saying it this time (And most times lately) is cause of the irritating weather! We have had a week of no coats and bike rides and windows open in our house. But because we are so high up in elevation, when other places are getting to enjoy beautiful spring rain, we are getting snow! Tomorrow, we are having a full day of snow that should be resulting in 3-5 inches!!! It is April! Easter is in a week! NO MORE SNOW! But I have been trying to see the good in everything for quite a while now, and with this situation I just tell myself "We won't have a terrible drought this summer." It helps a little...

God Loves Me :)

I say that because He has shown it to me once again in a big way! We were all sick this past weekend with the flu (Not tummy flu thank goodness). Kids got it first then Bo. I did not get it till a couple days later, Sunday night AFTER the kids had gone to bed. And seriously just like that, the aches, headache, fever and chest tightness came on out of nowhere. We are all doing better now but it's just amazing how He made it so I could keep taking care of my family :) Just had to share a mini testimony :)

Loved Conference!

That was amazing! It is always awesome, but a lot more talks than usual brought me peace and comfort and guidance. I love this gospel!

General Conference Idea For The Little Ones!

Super excited for General Conference this weekend! I love the Spirit! I love seeing the unity of this wonderful church! I love the guidance!

I have been racking my brain on how to help Laneah feel the spirit more during General Conference. I found something awesome on Pinterest! You take gospel pictures, put them on the wall, and everytime that topic is mentioned, you have your kiddo point to the picture. We are using: Enos in his knees for praying, Jesus with Mary at the tomb for Jesus lives, Joseph Smith's picture for him, Christ in the clouds for second coming, Mormon hiding the plates for Book of Mormon, the temple baptism font for temple work, and John baptizing Jesus for baptism. I am super excited! :)

GroVia!

These are the new hybrid cloth diapers we are trying and so far LOVE them! We prefer them over gDiapers! gDiapers were hard to get on a kicking, screaming toddler. We also didn't like how the plastic inside folded the disposable liner. The edges would rash up Rhychie's bum. But these GroVias just have the disposable lay in there, no awkward folding. (The disposables are not flushable with this company). You can also choose to use legit cloth diapering inserts. The diapers are so soft inside and out. You can use these diapers from 8 lbs to 30 lbs! This feature makes them cheaper than other hybrid brands. We have also been throwing around the idea of trying out full blown cloth diapering. Like the money/earth saving aspect of it :)

Go Nay Nay!

Laneah still wears a pull up at night. Well, apparently I forgot to put one on her last night...

Nay: I slept in panties, I need new panties mom
Me: Huh? (Realizing what she said) Oh!
(I check her butt, I feel nothing)
Me: What a good girl! You slept in panties and did not go pee pee or poo poo in them!
(Laneah smiles)
Me: Go to the potty!
Nay: Ok! Yay!

Such a wonderful surprise for me! :)
