The newest addition to our family....

First off, let's just take a minute to say "Congratulations" to Chris and Christie who just made their first big purchase together. They got a really good deal on a 2009 Toyota Camry. Here they are with their new car...

Aren't they cute!!

Now, moving on, let's take another minute to say "Goodbye!!" to Rich's little red 2 door non-car-seat-friendly Honda and "Hello!!" to our new 2007 very family friendly Ford F-150. Here they are together...
Ever since Rich, my old (but yet still beautiful) '96 Ford F-150 and the light post in the Costco parking lot got into a fight about a year ago (which resulted in my truck being totaled) we have missed having a truck around!! We've been looking at getting rid of Rich's car for a while now and with another baby on the way we decided that 2 car seats in the back of his Honda just really wasn't going to work. Not to mention that with Rich's business going so well, from time to time he needs to haul equipment and ladders and such and his Honda was not ideal for that either. So, it was time to take the plunge and get a truck.

Here's our old truck...

...and our new truck.

It's kind of funny that they are both black F-150's. We didn't plan it that way. We were actually looking at getting a smaller truck like a Toyota Tacoma, but after looking at them we realized that the back seats weren't very roomy for car seats and the price was the same as having a full size truck.

Here's Rich and Skyler last night on, what I like to call, "New Car Day"

Skyler is in LOVE with Dad's new truck!!! Well actually, we all are!! It's super nice. It's got basically everything you can think of and then some. I was very glad to find a used truck with leather interior. In my opinion, leather is a must-have when you have children, it's so much easier to clean. I was also excited that it has a moon roof (they're very rare in Ford trucks) and it even has a power rear sliding window. Crazy!!

Here are my happy boys in their new truck...

I'm afraid that before I know it Skyler will be 16 and driving for real

Here's the very spacious and comfortable back seat

I think it's safe to say that Rich will no longer want to steal my Escape anymore :)

It even has a hard cover over the bed so Rich can keep his computer equipment and tools safely locked up.

Welcome to our family beautiful new truck!!!
