Meet our Minivan

A new addition to our expanding family arrived on Sunday...a new (to us) minivan! My sweet parents found the perfect one for our family and drove it out to us this last week.

Mackayla is chilling, testing out the driver's seat

So much room now!

I so wish I would have taken a picture of all the kids wedged in our previous car. I couldn't quite see Macey or Cody with Mackayla's car seat wedged between them (not always a bad thing). Use your imagination and picture them in here:

We were nice and cozy, but we will love the room to breathe in the minivan!! Thank you so much mom and dad, we love it!

I have to sheepishly admit that before we got our minivan I saw a the ugliest minivan on earth that was a weird color in a parking lot (probably from the early 90s). Then I noticed it was the same model as ours and I was a bit panicked before we got ours. BUT, even if it was ugly I would be grateful. I guess it's a bonus that I really do like it!

Cody, Macey and Mackayla loved having grandma and grandpa around and definitely expended a lot of energy with their excitement. Cody and Macey were spoiled by going to the hotel each night, and watching movies and eating junk food before bed. All I can say is only with grandma and grandpa, once in a while, guys!

On the way home from dropping them off at the airport the kids asked if they got to go to the hotel.

We are so grateful for everything you do for us, mom and dad. We love you.

Mackayla - Ackayla (Cody) - Mackaywa (Macey)...

Any way you say it, this girl is squishy and cute

she loves watching her feet now

The other day I lost my comb and was trying to get everyone ready quickly. As I was running around looking for it Macey was saying "Where's the freaking dang comb? Where's the freaking dang comb?" 

While my parents were here she was going to give my dad a hug and a kiss and felt his cheek and told him "Your cheeks are scrapy." The next morning after he shaved she exclaimed, "Now you can have a hug!"

But Pretty much everything Macey says is funny. I should just have a recorder with me everywhere I go.
