Mattress Fun


My parents neighbors gave us a new twin bed for Madison. It has drawers on the bottom which will be perfect for when the new baby comes because her existing dresser will be moved into Charles room to use as a changing table for the baby. So while Daddy was moving her new bed around and taking the old one to the garage he decided it would be fun to slide down the stairs on the mattress. He hesitated about doing it since the kids can be wild and we don't want them trying it on their own, but then decided to take the opportunity to have some fun. Charles was really scared and did NOT want to do it at all. After much convincing he finally did it. And as you can see in the video and pictures, he was not to happy! Madison however LOVED it! She is our adventurous thrill seeker. Charles is more reserved and does NOT like to take risks. Daddy had such a fun time!

(I can't get the video to work...I will keep trying)

My New RIDE

So bought a NEW car!!! I love love love my new car, well SUV. John and I both are not fans of mini vans, no offense to anyone that has one or loves them. We are just not van people. So after we sold John's car we started searching for an older Suburban or Yukon that was in our budget. We looked at several on-line and checked out a few in person and than found this one. It was perfect! The dealership had just reduced the price by $5K which meant it was now in our budget. It is so clean and well taken care of. The kids love it! It has all the bells and whistles including two DVD screens and power everything! I'm still trying to figure out what all the buttons do. (I think I may have to start looking at the manual.) So here you have it... our spacious new ride.
Like the bling bling 22 inch rims!!! Those were just a bonus.
