We have CARSEATS!!!

Last Friday Mike picked up both our carseats which was very exciting!! Especially since the CCAA didn't send any referrals out - it helped to keep us in a good mood LOL.

We tried them both out in our vehicles and loved them - I got the Britax Marathon 65 - Onyx which I love and it fits very nicely rear and forward facing. I had tried others like the Diono etc... but they were way too long and the passenger seat had to be pushed too far to the front. My vehicle is the pone we dive at night and on the weekends so we needed something that allowed us to be comfortable in the front too!!

Mike got the Safety First Complete Air 65 LX Mike really liked this one!! Although rear facing in his car does push the passenger seat right to the front it isn't really a big deal - Mike would only be using his car for daycare pickups, Daddy/Daughter days etc.. and once it is forward facing it is fine!!

It was so exciting to actually put the seats in our cars and try them out - I can't believe it is almost here. We are both getting VERY impatient now and of course China is taking their sweet time.

Look Back - Sep't 2010 - New Truck!

As luck would have it my car had some troubles right before my birthday and when we took it in they said I needed something - I honestly can't remember but whatever it was was going to cost us approx $1200 and the guy said to be honest it is just a pre-curser to more things to come.

We have talked about getting a new vehicle but were basically going to drive this one until it died so this seemed to be about that time. We went out and looked at Ford and Kia and we ended up going with the 2011 Kia Sorento - I do love it and we really wanted to get something like this with more room (for baby items - lol). We...or should I say "I" negotiated the price - which took a little bit of work but we got what we wanted and I couldn't wait!! We had to wait for them to find a black one, which at one point they tried to give me a white one...NOT! I like the white but I wanted the black! I actually took it upon myself to find one for them.

We picked it up Friday night - I told everyone it was Mike's birthday present to me!!! Oh how I LOVE the new car smell!!
