I love KSL!

I have recently discovered KSL.com and cannot stay off of my computer! It is so addicting! For those of you who do not live in Utah, KSL is a local online classifieds page with TONS of new and used items for sale. It is so easy to browse, buy, and even sale stuff on KSL (which I have now done all three). The two recent purchases that I have made on KSL, which I am proud enough to post on here, are Cannon's new firetruck toddler bed and an outdoor Little Tikes play castle. Before I bought these items on KSL, I researched them on the internet (product reviews, prices, etc.) and made my purchase. It is so easy! I don't know why I had never checked the site out before. Anyway, we got both items for a steal and I had to post pictures of them.

Even though Cannon will not be sleeping in his new firetruck bed for a few more months (his 2nd birthday to be exact), I wanted to get his new room ready before our baby girl gets here. Once the baby gets here, she will sleep in our room for the first two months, and will then sleep in the nursery, which will bump Cannon to the spare bedroom downstairs...poor little guy! We have considered keeping them both in the same room, but having a newborn who DOESN'T sleep through the night, and a toddler who DOES sleep through the night, doesn't seem like a good combination. I would hate for the baby to wake Cannon up and have two kids awake during the wee hours of the morning, instead of just one. So, down to the basement Cannon goes. Anyway, because the bed was used, it was a little dirty and missing all of the stickers that were originally on it, mainly the eye stickers in front of the bed, and a couple of stickers on each side of the bed. So, being the crafty girl that I am (haha, not even close!), I decided to head on over to Michael's Craft Store and pick up some felt material to make my own stickers to replace the old ones. After washing and scrubbing the bed out and attempting to make the bed look as good as new, this is how it turned out:





My second purchase was the Little Tikes outdoor castle that I love (maybe even more than Cannon does)! We actually just bought this thing last night, and Cannon seems to really enjoy opening and closing the little door, being lifted up into the tower and looking around(he's not quite big enough to do this on his own), and climbing up the little ladder to go down the slide. Here are some pictures of Cannon playing on it from this morning:





I also wanted to post some pictures of Cannon's first rodeo experience from last weekend's Herriman Rodeo. He loved petting the animals in the Kiddie Corral and watching the horses run around and the bull riding, or, in Cannon's words, the "jumping cows". :) Here are some pictures of Cannon with the rodeo animals:







And, last but not least, a belly shot from this week. Less than 8 weeks to go!:
