Out with the old...in with the new!

I wrote this post on March 27 and for some reason it would never post.  Trying it again...

Last weekend was awesome to say the least!  Daniel surprised me with a trip to Dallas, Texas to pick up my new Yukon!!  I drove old blue faithfully for 8 years without one problem.  Well, besides the day I pulled into school and the horn wouldn't stop honking...I had to play it cool and pretend I was waving at "everyone" literally!  What an embarrassing day!  But it made a day full of great jokes. 

It was honestly hard to leave old blue sitting there in Dallas by herself.  I felt like she deserved more than that.  It took me about 30 minutes to clean her out and two trash bags later I was done.  Beth thought it was only right to say a few words when I got back to work.  Everyone had great memories. :-) 

But everyone needs change, and it was certainly my time for a change.  I am now a proud of owner of this beautiful Yukon.  I promise to keep it clean for the next 8 years!!  

We basically drove all over town to show off our new rig.  Well Daniel did anyways.  (He drives the new vehicle more than I do.)  We took it to Nini's house and she cooked us all supper.  It was really nice last Sunday and we soaked up the Sun outside.

I got a few pictures of Grady and Hayden this weekend.  These boys crack me up now, but I'm afraid of what kind of trouble these two will get into someday.  It makes me smile to know that these two will be so close, and will take care of each other like brothers.  

Spring break was great!  Luke got to come spend the night with us and we had a blast.  Daniel and I braved Brett's basketball game with all 3 boys, oh wait 4 boys, Keaton went with us also.  It wasn't THAT bad.  Keaton hung out with a friend.  Grady just wanted 800 suckers.  Luke just wanted his own bucket seat.  And Garon just wanted to be on Mom's lap.  We had a good time eating popcorn and Brett played a great game. 

We had fun getting to spend time with Luke.  He said a lot of cute things, but my favorite was... "time to pick up."  I told his mom he was definitely her kid. Or my house was exceptionally messy!  Thanks Jeff and Gwen for letting us keep him.  Can't wait for Luke to come back!

Staci and I had a yard sale and it was quite a success if I don't say so myself.  I can make my first car payment with the money I earned!

Most might complain about the cold weather, but sometimes I think it's nice to be stuck inside with my family.  I got to play with my boys a lot.  Again, I'm a little sad.  We've been party planning for Garon's big ONE year old birthday that is coming up in two weeks! :-( It's crazy to see how big he has gotten in the past month and we had quite the accomplishment tonight.  Garon stood on his own.  Not just once but twice.  We screamed and cheered of course and he grinned.  It was precious. 

I will end with this picture.  It makes me smile.  Boots with shorts is cool right?
