MJ's First Day of 5th Grade

We're all loaded up in the car with Klaus in tow. Get to Miranda's school, open up the door and there goes Klaus. Talk about confused. This dog didn't know what direction to go. The girls and I pile back into the car and here comes Klaus(Sucka). Miranda meet up with her class and OMG she's the big kid on the block...watch OUT! Many quick hours in between..."Miranda how was your first day of school". Well except the stapler upside my head...It was fine. She got the teacher she wanted and from the picture you can tell Mrs.Hough wanted Miranda too! This is going to be a great year. Can you believe she's already talking about being in middle school next year.

Out and About in the Hood

Shawn's off with the new car and the girls and I are off to an Estate Sale w/ Klaus in tow. We're heading up our street and before we know it BAM there's a horse on the side of the road! We've never met this neighbor before and so we stopped. It was like our own mini field trip! Carol was so sweet to educate the girls on proper behavior around horses and other neat facts too. Please enjoy this short video!

Out with the Old, In with the New

Goodbye Clouds of Gray, Hello Skies of Blue!!! (That's for all you HSM fans) Kids we're going to look for a car AND we are not buying one tonight JUST looking. It was July 31st at 8ish when we rolled up to the dealership. Test drove the Honda Pilot we were 'looking at' and we fell in love with it. Shawn did the ultimate test by riding in the way back as a 6' 3"passenger and I got to drive it. We loved the interior and knew we wanted the EX-L model. (We were sold) Then comes the hard part negotiation. Shawn worked them over and by almost 10 o'clock we were driving home our 'new-to-us' car! The girls not yet asleep and Dianne came out, so excited that we finally got a new car after months of being without. The next day we needed to turn in the Jeep. Tears welled in my eyes knowing it was time to say goodbye to my 'third' car and another chapter in my life. Thanks Honey for being so giving and finding me a sweet ride! Yes, he gets to drive it too. He says it's the honeymoon phase, either way I'm happy to share.
