 You are pure, moral, and adaptable. You tend to blend into your surroundings. Shy on the outside, you're outspoken to your friends. You believe that you live a virtuous life... And you tend to judge others with a harsh eye. As a result, people tend to crave your approval. |

So Disappointed!
I am so disappointed in Luvs new diapers! They were my favorite brand of diapers of all time! After 3 kids, I have tried practically every diaper out there and Luvs were, in my opinion, the best.
With absolutely NO warning on their package, Luvs has changed their diapers from being outlined in light blue and smelling wonderfully of baby powder (LOVED that smell!) to being outlined in a girly purple color and smelling like some sort of lavender perfume or something!
On top of that, they are thinner and don't prevent leaks as well. I never had any problems with leaks using Luvs until now. My little man woke up this morning with his clothes soaked!
I am so mad. Luvs were the absolute best for the money! Better at preventing leaks than Huggies and much better than the generic brands and didn't cost that much more (and WAY less than other name brand diapers!)
I did email Luvs with my disappointment and according to the Luvs website, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
If anyone else uses Luvs and is disappointed with the new product, please contact them and let them know! Maybe if enough people voice their disappointment, they will change back to the original Luvs that we all knew and loved!

Snackwell's Yogurt
Did you know that Snackwell's used to make yogurt? Did you also know that it was my cashier at Walmart last night's favorite yogurt? And that they stopped making it? Her mom got hooked on it, who got her sister hooked on it, who got her hooked on it. And then they stopped making it and she was so upset, because it was her favorite yogurt. They had chocolate banana, and all kinds of other chocolate flavors that were very good. It looked like pudding, and tasted like pudding, but it was yogurt. Blah blah bliggity blah blah!!!!!!
Well I know it! Want to know how I know? Because she saw this Yoplait Whips chocolate cherry yogurt I was buying and asked me if it was good. I told her I didn't know because I hadn't tried it yet. Well, this brought on this entire 7 minute, one sided conversation that you see above! (if you notice, it probably took you about 10-15 seconds to read it. She kept repeating the same 3 or 4 things over and over and, oh yeah, over again!!!)
And oh yeah, her mom told her that Snackwell's has a website and that she should see if she can buy some online or at least send them a suggestion to bring it back.
WOW! Now you are enlightened just as I was!

8 Years!
My big girl turned 8 years old today!! I can't believe it. She is going into third grade this fall! What happened to my chubby cheeked little baby?!!!
hospital pic......................................................today
My hubby took the day off work today and finished his final paper for this semester of classes. While he was typing that up this morning, the kids and I spent a couple of hours at the pool. (Note to all: the coppertone continuous spray sunscreen is awesome, but doesn't last very long. I used almost the whole can just today on the 4 of us.)
Then, after swimming, we came home and all got showers and went to drop off hubby's paper then to lunch. We had to go to Burger King per the birthday girl's request because they have Star Wars toys! Yea.
Then we stopped at WalMart because the girls were begging for light sabers (and we needed more sunscreen) but they didn't have them! (light sabers, not sunscreen) Bummer!
One of the girls' friends is on her way over right now to go back to the pool with us this evening. This is good because I decided not to give Emmy a kid party this year. We will probably go to Libby Lu's on Saturday and let the girls get makeovers. That should be fun! Then on Sunday, we will have lunch with the whole family at The Olive Garden (also, EE's choice).
Time is FLYING!

I'm Back!
Well, this past weekend was my trip to Indianapolis to see Beth Moore. I had such a blast! The first night there, I was in a room with just one other lady and got my own bed!! That was nice. The second night there were 5 of us in that room so I had to share, but it wasn't so bad.
I rode with 3 other ladies from my small group and we headed out of town around 1 pm and arrived at our hotel, (The Indianapolis Hilton) which was very nice, around 4:30. <--we ran in to some traffic on the way there. We got checked into our rooms and got ready for the first part of the conference. After that we headed back to our rooms and ordered dinner (at about 11 pm) and had it delivered to our room.
Not too long after that, we were all asleep (well, the 4 of us that rode together at least. The other 2 were in the room next to us). We were so beat!
Saturday morning it was up and at it early. We had room service delivered to us at 6 am and were at the RCA Dome for the second part of the conference when the doors opened at 7:30. (oh, BTW, we were apparently the designated seat holders. That was nice, having to reserve 3-4 rows of seats while 17,000 other women strolled by wondering if "all those seats" were taken!) So we got our butts up early to get there when they opened they doors just so everyone else could lolligag (yes, I said lolligag) around and get there an hour and a half later when the conference started. O well!
After the conference was all over at noon, the entire group from our church (27, I believe) went and ate lunch at Champps.
After lunch, everyone but the 5 of us went home. The 5 of us that stayed hit the mall! Then the games began. We spent a couple of hours just browsing the stores and picking up a few things, mostly for our kids of course, and a few things for ourselves. Then we decided to catch a movie....Monster In Law. Cute movie, we all enjoyed it. (The best part was getting to leave the movie and not have to go directly to pick up children!!) Then, we hit one more store on the way back to the hotel, Old Navy, and then Buca di Beppo for dinner.
Then, finally back to the hotel. We all changed into our suits and headed down to the pool. We got in the hot tub first, then cooled off in the pool.
After About an hour or so of that, we headed back up to the room and chatted and started watching a DVD (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days...such a good movie!) but we were all too tired and ended up turning it off and going to bed. I have no idea what time it was at that point, but it was definitely Sunday.
Then we got up (later) Sunday morning and again had room service deliver our breakfast, only this time at 9:30, not 6:00! As we ate our breakfast, we watched the movie we had started before bed.
After the movie, 3 of us decided to go back down to the hot tub and pool and relax a bit more before heading home. A couple of people came and stayed a few minutes and left and we had the entire pool to ourselves. That was nice.
Then it was back to the room to get showered, packed, and back on the road home. The weekend totally flew by.
We stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at Cracker Barrel on the way home and were back in Columbus by 6:30 (and I was home by 8 after picking up my kids).
Wow! I SOOOO needed this weekend!!! It was so fun and relaxing, and nice to be able to get up and not have to worry about getting anyone besides myself ready. Now I am back to reality this week. And the family survived wonderfully while I was away, but I'm sure were all happy to see me back (especially the baby!)
Sorry I don't have any more pictures to post. I was too busy having fun to think of taking pictures!
