Hello there family and friends! Just thought we would give y'all a little update before the chaos runs mad in our home.
First and foremost...we have the best family and friends one could ever ask for right now!
Shon's aunt in Ogden, Utah (about 2 hour drive north of us) had a bunk bed that we really needed. Well Shon's truck is dependable, but not 2 hour drive dependable! So Shon's uncle drove through that and picked up the bunkbed for us and delivered it right to our front door! It was totally cool! So that was a total blessing because we were totally stressing about it. The original plan was to drive up there, but we had to go get new tires on our car and that took longer than necessary so he just went up and did it for us! We love our Uncle Mikey!
Then....we had found a crib that we thought would be ok for our little 2 year old, but we really aren't sure how long he would last in there...if at all. So one of my friends sold me her toddler bed for super cheap and it is practically brand new! I love my friends!
There are still some little odds and ends things we need. And we still need to get some safety things like our first aid kits and another smoke detector. Our biggest thing is car seats. I am still working on that one!
Our caseworker was thinking the end of this month, but Shon and I have been so busy with classes, work and Ashton's football that WE are actually behind on schedule and not the state...imagine that!
A lot of our friends and family have asked us numerously if there is anything they can do...so we have created a little wish list...by all means, we aren't asking for these things, but to put some peace out there on those who keep asking, here it is:
1. Booster seat(high back-David is kinda petite) and a 5 point harness carseat
2. twin, full and toddler mattress sheets for boys (obviously).
3. clothes, clothes and more clothes...boys are messy...they can never have enough clothes!
4. sippy cups
5. any toddler toys...Ashton's toddler toys were given away, so we have very little.
6. first aid kits (3 total)
7. fire estinguisher (we need a specific one required by the state).
8. Plug in safe's....the little plastic things you put in your socket for little kids.
9. A lifetime supple of spray and wash (I am kinda kidding, but not really!) lol
Anywho, the sooner we get things taken care of on our end the better, so we are just chuggin a long trying to get the little things done to get it ready. Thank you all for your calls, emails, thoughts and prayers. We love you all!
