Solicitation

We are trying to plan for expenses for our new baby and realized that we don't really have anything. Alisha has blessed us with clothing, and I am wondering if anyone has anything else that we might borrow. We are especially looking for a car seat that we can purchase for less than the astronomical amounts at Babys R Us. Thank you in advance for your help! We love you all!

Beautiful isn't it. The only thing that would of made it better would be to have you all there sharing it with us. Mom

Out With The OLD!

Out with the Old and in with the new! We were so tired of paying $25+ each time we would take the Beast to BYUI, which would happen at Least once a week so we set out to buy a more economical car. After much study and debate we went with Dad's first thought, a Subaru Outback. While we were sitting there waiting for paperwork, Dad wanted to go check out a sporty little Subaru in the parking lot. I could tell he was in love with it by the way he raised the hood and walked around and around it, but knew it was brand new and way to expensive. We both knew we were going to have to purchase yet another car before winter because our current car had no heat (non acceptable) and no cruise control (irritating). With it being worth only around $800 it was hard putting a big outlay of money on it. Dad has also been driving without air conditioning all summer. I told the salesman we were working with, "If you have any other less expensive sports cars, show them to him and I'll bet he'll buy it". The guy said "Really?" So when Dad came back in the guy said "I've got a little 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse, do you want to see it?" That's all it took. Dad loves eclipse. Maybe even more than 1965 Mustangs. We walked out to see it and found it to be so "Cute" (My thoughts not Dad's) . But he absolutely loved it also. So we surprised ourselves and bought two cars. I'm so happy for Dad. He deserves some real joys in his life along his children and grand children.
