Milestone...

We Have really hit a milestone in our life this past week! We sold our little Camry to get a Van! Yes you got it! A mini-van, or Looser cruiser, or whatever you want to call it! And I gotta tell ya... WE LOVE IT! I had a really hard time at first, with the thought of driving a mini-van. There is such a neagtive stigma surrounding mini-vans,  but we new that with 3 little youngsters we would need something that would fit and make getting the 3 kiddos in and out of it easier! We thought of getting an SUV but car seats and SUV's are a royal pain in the "you know what"... and at this point we don't regret it one bit! Yes, i am looking forward to the day i can get a cool SUV or car with a less negative stigma,  but for now the van is so so functional, I say screw the stigma!!! :)

Lets not ask what the crazy my kids are doing in this picture.... They are nut-heads :) this is our last pic with our car... I know its lame, but we were so attached to this car, I felt like I was giving away a child or pet that I loved...

I know this is not a very good picture, but this is our lovely mini-van The girls love that it has a DVD player and I love the bum warmers and the dual climate control (because Matt and I NEVER agree on the temperature)!

VAN + SOCCER PLAYER = A TRUE SOCCER MOM
Hadlee had her FIRST Soccer game on Saturday! She was so very excited for this! She would tell me " I am going to play soccer then go to school in St. George just like Riley" ha ha she wants to be just like her Aunt Riley... it is so cute! 
She played so cute, I loved watching her and listening to her! When the coach first asked her to go play she hopped up walked out and said "YA!!..Do you like my pretty RED bow?!" oh my gads girl... what a crack up. Later she was sitting out waiting to go back in, when the coach asked if she was ready, Hadlee Holds her drink up  and says "when this is all gone"! Oh my, and by the end of the game, we would yell to her..."run and kick the ball!!"  She would turn and yell " I'm tired!!!"  What a funny age! I love it!
She got a little dirt on her knee and couldn't continue to play till she had it all wiped off! She is such a girl! :)

I couldn't forget this little monkey! This is the love of her life... SHOES! she loves them! She walks around in any size shape or color! Tonight after the bath I was drying Hadlees hair, and little Cora escaped! This is where I found her... all the way in the living room sporting some killer heels! I love finding her in her random situations!

You make me laugh. Jarom always talked about the day we have to buy a "van". But..hey..it looks nice!!! A dvd player and all...your kids will love it. If it helps...I wear sunglasses when I drive Jarom's Civic...so nobody knows it's me. ha ha ha.

Every mother has to give in and get one at one point! I can't believe you're going to have 3 babies! That is amazing.

Everyone is passing me up big time. I remember you being pregnant with Cora. Time sure flies.

How is life? How is school? When does Matt Graduate? We need to catch up. I tended your niece the other day. She is darling...but she had a rough time with me:) I felt awful. She didn't fall in love with me all that quickly!
