Our New Car

I have been wanting a Saturn Vue for a while now. When I told Aaron that I wanted one, him being the good car guy that he is, he researched the car and came back to me with a list of things that it had to have. It had to be a 2004 or newer, it had to be a V6 (the V6 is the only one that has a Honda engine and transmission), it had to have leather seats, it had to have certain wheels, it could only be silver, grey, red or white and of course, it had to be within our budget. When he told me all that, I told him that we would never ever find all that stuff within our price range. He was willing to compromise on the leather seats if it had everything else, or the wrong wheels if it had everything else. So, I was on the lookout but of course for months, could never find all those things. A couple weeks ago, we even went to another dealership and almost bought a Honda CRV, but neither of us felt good about it and it ended up not working out. Well, on this last Mon. morning, I was looking on autotrader and this car is the first thing that popped up, I called Aaron and told him that I found it and to go check his e-mail. He looked at it and told me that it was the one and that he was leaving work so we could go look at it. We got to the dealership and it was perfect, it had EVERY single thing that we wanted. We were able to trade in our Honda Civic and with our tax return, we paid the difference, so that is probably the best part, we own it!!!! Now we have enough room for our next addition to the family!

What Bryan did instead of napping

It seems like everyday Bryan does something new that is funny, so today I thought I would share. The last two mornings, Bryan has been waking up before 7 am. So you would think that he would be really tired during the day, so today I put him down for his nap at 1pm (his normal time), I gave him a glass of milk, like I usually do and went out of the room. Well, he drank all his milk and then got up to play. I left him for a little and then went back in there and laid him back down. He continued to get up and play and I went in there a couple more times to try and get him to go to sleep. Finally, a little after 4pm, I realized he was not going to go to sleep, so I went in there to get him. When I went in, he was sitting in the glider and his clothes were off, as I got closer I noticed something else. I said "Bryan, are you naked", he looked at me and said "yah". He was just hanging out in the glider totally naked. Who knows how long he was that way! I couldn't do anything except smile.

For Christmas, Bryan got some trains and a little train track from Aaron's uncle Tim and a car/train mat from his Grandma and Grandpa in Georgia with a couple trains as well. He was quite excited and as you can see played with them for a while!!

ImageWe took Bryan down to the little parade that our town does and then afterward they have some booths with different things set up. Santa was there but we didn't even try to get Bryan to go up there because the line was really long and we thought he would just cry.
ImageA lady was there making different balloon animals and fun things. She made Bryan this present with a bow and he wore a little while and then took it off and eventually it popped but it was fun a few min.
