I just picked up my new vehicle (new to me).....I am so excited, and it is soooooo nice and comfy! My favorite part is the moon roof :) It's the little things for a girl :) Mine is a little bit lighter in color, not quite this color.

Kiddos!

We picked out a vehicle we want to buy, and we are supposed to pick it up tomorrow. Cole and Morgan were with us when we test drove it. Tori was at a birthday party. This morning Cole and Morgan were telling Tori all about it, and she wants to see what it looks like. We were driving to church and I saw one that looked just like it on the road.....so I said "that looks like the car, Tori!" and Cole promptly responds, "Except that it doesn't come with those people in it." ........Well, duh, Mom!

Van, or not a Van...that is the Question

We were looking at a car lot, just looking, and Tori said to me "why are we here?" and I said that I was looking to see what kind of car we might buy sometime. She was checking out cars, and I said that they were too small, since there were 5 of us, and lots of times we even have someone else with us. As we continued around the lot, Tori spotted a full size 12 passenger van and said "Mom! That will work!"...........let's hope that I never have to drive one, but then I also said that I would never drive a mini van...........and we all know where that got me!

Father Daughter Dance 2007

Mike and the girls went to the Father Daughter Dance last night. They had so much fun. Of course the girls got to eat lots of sugar and dance and hang out with their friends. And the best part, get dressed up a little ;)

Morgan Got A Haircut

Today's Obsession

Okay, today I am obsessed with the new Gwen Stefani song "The Sweet Escape" I have been playing it over and over....It has a great beat, kinda 'old school'

*I normally don't listen to Gwen Stefani, but I like this one

It's COLD!

Morgan is "helping" Dad with snowblowing.....really she is on a snowboard and being pulled by the self propelled snowblower

Tori and Cole take a break from digging to smile for the camera.....at least they made it outside for some fresh air

Friend Party

Cole had his first 'Friend' party on Saturday. The boys had fun. I didn't realize how gross 7-9 year old boys are. They were doing burping contests (which was not on my agenda) and making gross noises, and all of that. I guess that Cole just isn't doing that yet, but they gave me a glimpse into his future. The other thing I noticed was the gift giving. It was extreme. Most of the gifts were about $20. And this is just a kid in their class. Maybe I wouldn't spend that much because I have 3 kids and they all get invited to parties, but I was shocked at the gifts. Hopefully they were all on sale. I guess I am cheap and spend usually about $10 (and find things on sale). Like Mike said, maybe they haven't gone to many parties yet, so spending $20 on the first gift isn't bad, or they only have the one kid.

Snow Day

Today is our first snow day of the year, and there isn't even much snow, but it is soooooo cold. So, normally the kids would play outside most of the day on a snow day, not today. I will be surprised if they even get to go out. They are still in their p.j.'s and it is 10am. Hopefully I can get them dressed and helping me around the house a little. They plan on playing some games and eating for most of the day. Sounds like fun. I have a lot of house work to do, mostly laundry, so I will not be lacking for things to do. It is so cold that I don't even want to go outside to get in the car to go anywhere. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
