Jordan's Special Announcement

Jordan has an announcement he would like to make by way of the following photo

Yes you read his shirt right, Jordan will be a BIG BRO come July 30, 2012!! We have known for a few weeks now and wanted to announce it to family first so I took a photo of him in this shirt and sent it around to everyone. Boys was everyone surprised!

Family Photos from Utah

On one of our last days in Utah visiting Darin's dad & step mom we took some family photos at the local Walmart photo center and Frank just sent us some prints. Think they turned out nice.

At night at the Drag Races

We have a local drag race strip in the next town from where we live, anyone that wants to line up can race so we got to see not only race cars but normal cars race. One night Papa & Grandma asked us to come out and see them with them & cousin Aries. The boys had a blast and the noise didn't bother them at all, Jordan wanted it to be louder and cheered every time one of the cars revved it's engines. The older boys even got to sit inside one of the little dragsters.

My NEW car!

After lots of discussion Darin decided that instead of getting him a new truck he would drive the Durango and we would get me a new more dependable car, then when he gets home from this next deployment we would pay off my new car and get him one that way we would only have one car payment. We decided to look online at CarMax and find a small SUV or van that got a lot better gas millage then the Durango and would keep our monthly payments where they were with Darin's truck. The flash light company had written us a check to cover the down payment to get the payments the same and to cover our personal items lost in the fire as our settlement. So after looking online I found a nice tan trailblazer LS that had under 70,000 miles was a 2006 and was in our price range so we drove over to Garland and took a look. Neither of us were impressed when we saw it, you could tell it used to be a smokers car as the carpet was discolored and you could see a few burns. So we walked around and I saw this one, I fell in love with it instantly, we had seen it online but it looked like it was a super bright purple so it had turned us off however in real life it was really a deep dark purple almost black and we both loved it. It was $1,500 more then the first one we looked at BUT was a 2008 so 2 years newer and only had 34,000 miles! It was super super clean and had plenty of room. So we got it. This is the newest car I have ever owned. My first car was an 1980 something Jeep Cherokee, then I had a 1970 something big blue pickup truck, then Darin bought me the 99 Durango back in 2003.
