Name my new wheels!

Well I finally decided that it was time to get practical and admit that being comfortable overrides looking cool. ;)

After 2 years of trying my damndest to make the Envoy work for our family... we decided that it just wasn't cutting it. Flipping over seats on a daily basis to buckle kids in carseats is a major pain in the ass. Not to mention that when we're all in there its just not a comfy ride. So I finally gave up and started looking at minivans. I gave Matt a mile long list of things I wanted in it since I'll be driving this van for the next 10 years. =P He was finally able to find a Dodge Grand Caravan with everything I required. It's metallic silver, has power everything ( including all the doors), the seats all fold into the floor, and the coolest feature is the dual dvd players! God forbid if all 3 of my kids can decide on 1 movie to watch to this way they can watch 2 different movies. They don't make them with 3 players... so I'm sure somebody will still whine. =P Brooke thinks the new van is so cool that we should add a toilet and live in it! haha

I haven't actually driven it yet but Matt loves it and can't wait to take it to Disney! He keeps going on and on about all the storage in the floor and how we'll have no problem getting all the luggage in there and won't have to use our dorky luggage carrier. Personally I think we should cram a kid or 2 in the storage and we could have a really peaceful trip. ;)

I haven't come up with a name yet for my new van. We call Matt's truck Clifford since it's big and red. The Envoy... affectionately known as the pain in the ass. lol But I'm stumped on this one. It's definitely a soccer mom car... and to embarass Hannah I'm considering adding the little family people on the back window. haha Shoot me some ideas if you come up with something.



On a side note... I hope you like the splash of color to my blog! I have my SIL Sara to thank for that... she's a bit more computer savvy than me ;)
