Big Boy Bed

I've been looking on ksl a lot for a bed for Conrad. I wanted a bed that had drawers and shelves because one day there will be 2 kids in one room so we need all the storage we can get! I've found a few that I've liked, but they've always sold before we could do anything about it. On Thursday night I was looking at ksl and I found a bed for $65 that included a mattress. It was in their guest room so it was rarely used which made me feel good about the mattress. Ransom told me to call, but I told him it was 9:30 so we should probably wait until tomorrow so he called. The lady said it was first come first serve. Ransom quickly started calling people with trucks so he could get it that night. His uncle Kevin was nice enough to let him borrow his truck and his cousins (Tanner and Courtney) were nice enough to go with him to help get it. By the time he got home I think it was around midnight. I'm so lucky to have Ransom!

We still need to buy sheets and I'm in the process of making him a dinosaur quilt that will hopefully get done in his lifetime! We were hoping he would sleep through the whole night in his bed, but as usual he woke up in the middle of the night to come into bed with us. I am such a deep sleeper that I don't even know he is in bed with us until I wake up in the morning and he's usually right by me. Last night I actually heard him coming and took him back to his bed and fell asleep with him for a little bit. It was so much nicer sleeping on a twin than a baby mattress! He's just been sleeping on the baby mattress on his floor so it just feels so nice to have him on a bed and especially a bed that didn't break the bank! Even if he doesn't like sleeping on it, he loved to have me watch him jump on it all day yesterday. -Katie

He kept covering his face because the flash was too bright.
After he would say "eyes". It was pretty cute!

What a big boy Conrad is becoming. I can picture him all snuggly in his bed. You remind me of your mother when she was younger (that's a good thing) hunting for a great bargain. I can't wait to hug that little guy this summer!

I love this entry...everything from Conrad sneaking out of bed to get to you to picturing you curled up on a crib size mattress with Conrad. Only you could fit Katie :)
Also your gratefulness for Ransom... you are all blessed to have each other.
