Quick trip to Utah

September 20-22nd
After we had Peyton I quickly realized that our car, a Honda Pilot, just wasn't cutting it for our 3 kids. We were short on space, kids weren't able to buckle themselves up, we were crawling over seats, lots of yelling, and there were tears......need I go on any further. So I decided to put our Pilot on Craigslist. I didn't want to sale it because I loved it! It had low miles, and well it wasn't a minivan! But I decided to put it on Craigslist and see what happened. That same day someone from Idaho Falls came and looked at it and before noon the next day they were driving away in my car and I had in my hand a check for what we wanted out of it. Stockton and I were both in tears....! I was without a car....let the minivan shopping begin. Yep I said minivan! After research and talking to fellow minivan owners I knew that we needed to join the van team! I was guaranteed by my friends that I would love it! So we found one in Orem, the same place we got our Pilot. Luckily it worked out that my mom was able to be around to be our taxi. So we set off to Utah for our new car, and Peyton's first trip to Grandma Allen's where she would also meet Uncle Chad, Aunt Amanda, and cousin Taylor for the first time.

can always count on this boy to snooze in the car!

Of course we had to stay in the Honda family. We had our eyes on a silver one but it sold. But the ocean mist is growing on me!

And it's true, I love this car! Been 120% better for our family! The kids think it is so cool that we drive a van! I'm sure if they were teenagers it would be different....haha!

Peyton loved all the snuggles she got from Aunt Amanda


This was a fun, successful trip!
It was great to have a car again!

Hooray for minivans!! Years ago, I could never imagine myself having a mini van, let alone loving one, but crazy things happen when you are married and have kids. We LOVE ours. Best decision we ever made after our wedding. just kidding. :) Glad you are enjoying yours. It's just so convenient. And the sliding doors are amazing. Welcome to the mini van club. It's awesome.
