my poor neglected blog

Well I realized that I have somewhat neglected our blog. And I don't really have a good explanation why!! Well I was going through some pictures and I came across these of Madison and Zachary. A week or 2 after Christmas I made a turkey breast and found the wish bone! I don't think I have ever found it intact. It's usually broken when I find it. 

We explained to the kids what it was. And also that it needed to dry out for a few days before they pulled on it. So after about 5 days we let they have a go at the wish bone!


They were really excited. And we told Zachary that if he lost not to be upset! 


Well can you guess who won!?!?! And can you guess how Zach reacted? If you guessed cried and went to his room....... you guessed right! Oh well there is always next year!!

In other news. We got a new van. It's a 2002 Silhouette. Which means that it is 10 years newer that the blue "dust buster!" We had spent a few weeks looking and went to a dealership, but we didn't want a car payment. So we turned to Craigslist. And we found this one. We had a few days of correspondence with the the sellers and on Saturday we drove to Mountain Home to pick it up. 


It is 4 doors one of them is hands free. It opens with the push of a button. The other door is just standard. There is a few cosmetic spots that will need to be fixed and the heated seats went out. We may get those fixed!! Who doesn't like a warm tushy in the winter!! But over all it's great. 


Leather interior! Which is nice. 


Travis is excited to have a CD player again. 

We are so grateful to have a vehicle that will last us a while and not to have a car payment!!
