Becah vs. Walmart

For my birthday this year Marc gave me a camera. I've been needing a new camera for a while and I've been researching them for quite some time. I wanted something that had good picture quality along with good video quality. So I decided to get this particular Kodak camera. I've been very happy with my current Kodak camera so I thought I couldn't go wrong. It had good reviews and it takes HD video which I was excited about. So I get the camera and it's terrible. I went through 3 batteries and all the pictures had weird coloring or they were blurry. The only thing good about the camera was that it did take killer video! So after a few weeks of trying to figure it out I decided to just return it for a different one. As luck would have it I couldn't find the receipt. I figured, it's Walmart they are usually pretty good about it. So I take it up to the customer service desk and I told them it was a birthday gift and I don't have a receipt. They scan the barcode to find out when it was purchased. There return policy is 30 days and it had been 31 days! The bitchy lady told me that I couldn't return it but I could try calling Kodak because the camera did have a year warranty. Well, I called Kodak and they wouldn't take it back because it was a 2008 model so technically the year warranty was expired! What a joke! After a few choice words were said I decided to call the corporate office of Walmart. My efforts paid off because they called the store I purchased it at and made them return it for me! HAHAHA I beat Walmart! So now I have a new and improved camera and so far it works great. I'll post some new pictures soon.

new blanket

Riley was sent this adorable blanket from Blankets For SMA. These blankets are made by a girl who has SMA and she sends them out to SMA kids all over! If you can't tell it has puppy dogs on the front and then the back has little dog bones on it. It is super cute! Thanks MJ for the awesome blanket.

first things first

this past week has been chaotic. We started out the week with a baby blessing and then ended the week with another baby blessing. In the middle of all that we picked up Riley's glasses. They had to clip the back of the ears so they can put the loop backs on and after 2 trips to get them readjusted I think we finally have a good fit. At first he kept trying to take them off but now they don't seem to bother him. Maybe that's a good sign that they are actually helping him. All I've gotta say is that he's pretty much the cutest boy in glasses EVER!

Like I said earlier we had two baby blessings this past week. Courtney was blessed on Feb. 7 and Makayla was blessed Feb. 14. Both the girls looked so pretty in their white dresses.
