Sorry blog for neglecting you for so long...a lot of fun things have happened over the last few months! I do hope to catch you up on
Christmas, our trip to
San Diego, fun times on the four-wheeler...out in the snow, and our
new van...yes I said new van. I know, I know, I can't believe it either. Just never say never. I just thought I wouldn't be one to get a van. I always knew they were great family vehicles, I just didn't want one. But after our trip to San Diego when we had to rent one, Darin fell in love...yes in
LOVE...with a van. He couldn't stop thinking, researching, and talking about how awesome it would be to get a van. So after long talks of how our 15 year old
Landcruiser with a bad oil leak (the reason we had to rent a van) wasn't safe for the kids and that it was time to get a new vehicle, I reluctantly went car shopping with Darin. We found our family ride...a 2006
charcoal Toyota Sienna.
We totally love it! It is so perfect for our family and the kids are so excited! Cameron said this "I always wanted one of these!" Him and Brigham love playing in it, they like to push all the buttons and look in the mirrors. Cameron put dibs on the captain's chair so he can be in charge of opening and closing the slidding door. I just hope we don't loose a finger.
So now we are a
real family...with a van. It's awesome! Don't fret, we are still keeping the landcruiser, it helps me feel cool. We can still go off-roading, camping in the mountains, bust through snow banks...something I'm a little concerned about doing with a van.
Welcome home new van...
The kids had to play in the van...only after playing in the water puddles. The shoes don't get to play.

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday...she wants me to get a facebook account so I can wish her a happy birthday there. We'll see if I get to it, so until then here is a happy birthday wish to my mom on my blog.
