In with the new - out with the old!

I have had my mattress for about 13 years now. It wasn't the best of mattresses when I did buy it new. After so many back aches I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a new one. Since I can't justify the expense of the mattress I really wanted I decided to go with the advice I was given and get one at Costco.

Mom and I drove the truck out to Oxnard and we got it together. Mom was most impressive not only lifting it in to the truck but also getting it all tied down correctly - go MOM! (McKay was working and dad was sick so they were not available to help). My home teachers came over and helped me move it up to my room. Oh how nice it is to have a new mattress! I can recommend the pillow top from Costco. :)

Well, since Michelle & Lynette and their families were coming the next week I kept the mattress on the side of the house. Michelle and I figured it would make a great bed for the younger kids when everyone was here. Tonight everyone came home from the beach and swimming. After watching movies it was time to get ready for bed and the mattress was moved in to the house. Soon after, dad and mom came over to see Lynette and her family. When I came to the house this picture is what I saw! Yes, that is my parents jumping on the mattress! The kids had so much fun watching and laughing with them! Needless to say we made them do it a few more times so we could get a picture. :) Thanks for being good sports mom and dad! Oh, yes, they did start something - the old mattress became the main attraction for the rest of the night.
