Update on Cloth Diapering

So I thought the girls were allergic to the SunBaby diapers that I have come to love, but THANK GOSH!! They aren't!!  I was using the biodegradable liners, and that's what they were allergic to.  So thankfully we are back on the wagon (as of 3 weeks ago) for using cloth and I am so, so happy.  I really love using cloth.  the gils love it too and its so much nicer now that they are standing more, if they fall down, their  bum is so much more cushioned!!!  I really do love them!!  

My mom is also great about using them.  She watched the girls (my very first time away) for 7 hours last weekend and used cloth diapers....in fact, she used all of them!!  haha it was so funny.  I had just done a load so she wouldnt run out...good thing because she changed them about every 30 minutes.  She wasnt sure if they were wet or not.  so cute. I love my mom :)

Also, I have pictures, but I am on my moms computer and havent uploaded them on here yet, but ill do a huge picture post tomorrow!!

Good to be home

 I feel so accomplished!!!  We managed to make it 2000 miles from Missouri to California, with two 5 1/2 month olds, two dogs, and all of our junk not only alive, but in 46 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh yes, yes we did!!  

So I must say that we have just about the best little travelers in the whole world.  The do not mind getting to sleep more than usual, nor do the mind being trapped in their car seats (too much anyway)...Now, the first day (well, night, we left at midnight) we made it through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and into Cheyenne Wyoming before we stopped.  The girls we cranky and wanted to get out and stretch and sleep.  So we stopped and the next day we made it through Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and home to California!!!!  The girls were amazing, but were definitely ready to be done.  The dogs are amazing travelers so no problems there!!  I will have to add pictures later, I just know its been a while since I posted, and I felt the need!!!!

PICTURES COMING SOON!

One things for sure

I love my babies, like so much its silly.  They are literally with me 24/7 and I never get tired of them.  Now with my new Explorer, I can go anywhere with them and not feel intimidated about it.  Using our old bronco was really hard for me, and made me feel like everything was too hard to do on my own.  Its amazing what a car can do for your self esteem.  

Speaking of which, I took myself to the grocery store today.  Just me, Rylie and Laramie.  Now, I had to psych myself up for it and it took me until 2pm, but I did it.  I took the stroller and put the car seats in, and I pulled a shopping cart.  yup.  PULLED IT BEHIND ME LIKE A PUPPY.  HaHa and I couldnt be more proud of myself!!  I went full on grocery shopping and pulled it off!!!  wish I had a picture!  

In other news y house is a disaster and were leaving in 5 days.  I have heaps of laundry to do, and it seems like the same heaps that have been there for weeks.  I really need to get it together.  W e still have so much to do,  and the days are flying bY which is great, but like I said. I really need to get it together.

Oh girl, oh girl

First of all, I know i have been slacking on writing on here, but I am trying we have so much going on right now!!  Prepare for the UPDATES!!!!

Alright, first things first.  Rylie and Laramie are 20 weeks old.  I am soo soo amazed at how much they have grown and how big they are!!  My beautiful babies (though technically are already 5 months) will be 5 months on the 4th!!  I cant believe it!  They are both sitting without assistance, (though this really is Rylie's place of expertise) both can roll over from their belly to their back and Laramie can roll from her back to her belly (when Rylie tries she gets everything rolled over but her head haha)  They are both trying to crawl but I understand that this wont happen yet.  They are both good at standing up, Rylie LOVES it and Laramie is sooo wabbly, but she finds the humor in it.   They are both eating soo much now that solids are going to become a regular, three times a day thing here in the Jones house.  The want to eat what you eat and are ery interested in WHATEVER you put in your mouth.  They both love spoons, and love being fed by them, they even wipe their own faces hehe.

We are taking a trip home for about a month in April, because one, we miss it so much, and two, only three people have met the girls from home.  My mom, and nicks mom and dad.  Thats it, no one else and theyre almost 5 months!!!  So this trip is so overdue.  Were driving across the country (as we are taking ALL of our baby needs as well as the dogs) and renting a car would have been so expensive...which leads me to my next event...buying a car.

 This is my downtown

 The dam and the Lake

So we have needed a new "mommy car" since...well, before the girls were born.  We have two old, unreliable vehicles, not to mention they are both 2 door.  So...finally, after 5 months of dealing with our bronco that only has 2 doors, we bought a mommy car!!  Iam now the proud owner of a 2005 ford Explorer!!  I love it!!  We even have third row seating....ugh i cant even explane to you how happy I am!!!
