Wahoo! Well, sort of....

So, we've had an interesting turn of events lately. The boys and I spent the week of labor day visiting Brandon in Vernal, and our brand new van got hit by a semi-truck. It's not as bad as it sounds, I was stopped and it was barely moving....no one was hurt, but the front of my van got crunched pretty good. Well, we got our van back today! YAY! I have really missed driving it. There are two things that I get so excited about, I should get paid to advertise for them. One is my double stroller, the other is my minivan. Both are luxuries I feel I could no longer live without having two children 1 and under. I've sure missed my power sliding doors when I've got two kids and a diaper bag going out to the car. I also missed my little mirror that points back to the boys so I can check on them while we're driving. But most of all, I missed the space! My van has so much space that my sister and I can take our combined five kids, and still have room in the back for my double stroller, her single stroller, and whatever goodies we buy while we're out and about. But, life isn't all roses yet....I have to take my van back in. They didn't repair the side mirror on the driver's side, and my windshield wipers no longer work. Hopefully those will be a quick fix though. I'll be glad when this is all over. I'm tired of dealing with repair shops and insurance agents. We've had bad luck this year for cars! This was our second hit and run for the year. As I said before though, we're lucky that no one has been hurt, and we're lucky to have the luxuries we do, as well as family that is willing to support and help us out when we're having troubles. :)

Katie, I was the first high school friend of Lindsi's to blog about mini vans. I am jealous that you have one already. Hopefully I'll join you soon. Mini Vans for Life! :)
I didn't realize that both of your boys are under 1!! You crazy girl! When is Parker's birthday?

Okay, I guess I should have said 1 and under.....that was a little misleading. Parker's birthday is July 9, and Andrew's is July 26. One year apart.
