These Diapers=Diaster

when i was in cali i went to an enrichment night about "going green"...and it got me thinking. as a child i was totally a whale saving, recycling, energy conserving nut. seriously, i sent my allowance to the free willy foundation. (they freed him. and then he died. so much for that.) WOW, how things have changed... (i don't recycle. i choose plastic at the grocery store. i love meat. i drive an suv. i'm all for arctic drilling...) BUT i saw these diapers and thought that i could start with one little thing, plus they are supposed to be better for your baby. even though they're totally weird looking because they're brown, i gave them a try.

DISASTER!!! i took landon to the doctor (for like the millionth time in 2 weeks...more about that later) and was just holding him on my hip because his carrier is just way too heavy these days. i went to hike him up and EWWWWW! my whole hand was covered in poop! good thing i was almost there...but when i laid him down to change him i realized that i was also covered from my waist to about my knee. serious. and all the way up his back, and down his legs, in his shorts, just really the messiest diaper he's ever had. i brought him home in just a diaper, so ghetto, and realized on the way out that we had left a little poop drip trail all down the hallway. thank goodness for costco baby wipes that clean everything!

I'M STICKING WITH HUGGIES!

Tessa's Wedding

the reason i went back to california was for my friend tessa's wedding...the dr. appointments and fun visit with my family were a bonus. :) me and tess were totally inseparable in jr. high and high school, and even though we've kind of grown apart in the last few years i wouldn't miss her wedding for anything. she looked amazing, of course...they were so happy and it was such a fun night. i had forgotten how much i love dancing, and how much i love my old friends! from now on i am seriously going to be better at keeping in touch...and gettin my freak on once in awhile! love you tess! congratulations!

P.S. my camera had a dead battery, so i've had to steal these pics off of other blogs. sad. :(

hopefully i can find more.

2001 was sooo long ago!! we walked together at our graduation.

Her photographer was so funny...he was trying to tell us how NOT to look like a linebacker in pictures. Instead, I look like a dork.

Beautiful bride...and my big hair!! Once it got hot, my hair went wild!

Me & Megan...miss you already!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!

i don't know what happened here...weird. i don't know how to delete it though, so i guess green is what you get!

in front of the potomac river...like i said before, i have become so awkward at taking pictures!

oh yeah, i didn't even mention where we went...george washington's home, mt. vernon!

last week was our 4 year anniversary...i still can't believe it's been that long! that's as long as high school! it was such a perfect day. cache and megan were so nice and they watched the boys for us. we never, ever go anywhere by ourselves, not even dinner...like really this is the second time since landon was born that we'd gone anywhere. i forgot how fun it is to just be a couple...just to hold hands and have good conversation and to focus all of our attention on each other. by the end of the day i was missing those babies like crazy though, and thought brock was driving waaay too slow on the way home...i was anxious! i am just totally in love with my little family. brock really is my best friend and sometimes i can't even believe that i found someone so perfect for ME. for part of his present i made him a jar with 100 things i love about him, and it made me realize even more why i love him so much and all of the little things he does for me, the things he puts up without complaint, things that i admire in him. just a few of them:

-he raves over my cooking and always appreciates a good meal, but doesn't care at all if i don't make dinner

-he's comfortable in any group...he can hang out with my dad's friends or teenagers and be totally at home

-he has neat handwriting and is a good speller

-he never says a word or makes me feel bad about spending money

-he always wants to have a party

-he's the best shopper that's a guy that i know

-he carves the best pumpkins and puts up the coolest christmas lights (if you haven't seen them, i mean REALLY exceptional. and i love holidays!!)

-he stays really calm in emergencies (and i totally panic)

-he buys me really good presents

-he loves eating at chevy's as much as i do

-he makes the best chocolate chip cookies and crepes...better than anyone

-he always lets me pick the movie and the restaurant

-i always want whatever he's eating and he always shares

-our bathroom is always messy when he gets ready (like one sink full of makeup and the other has the flat iron and hairspray...it's bad) but he's never said a word, he just uses the other bathroom or even the kitchen sink

-he loves the temple

-he knows how to fix lots of stuff

-he very rarely watches sports on tv (and i hate sports on tv)



i better stop before this post gets 5 pages long. but you get the idea...my husband's cool. :)
