Swagger Wagon...

A few years ago, I would have

never thought I'd be SO excited to share

the fact that we just purchased a new vehicle

for our growing family, {a minivan!}

...and I have always actually disliked

mini's...for no particular reason, just never

really favored them {I guess I thought they were ugly}

and definitely NEVER thought

I'd be driving one...until now, but you'd

be surprised how pretty my new car is!!

alas, I am now a member of the 'club',

and happy to say so!

I am in LOVE with all of the space!

{not to mention all of the

ways I can seat the kiddos!}

I love that the girls sit in the back

& can climb back on their own

and buckle themselves!

Ethan is loving his own space in the

middle row, where he is free from most

flying objects from his sisters...

and when new baby arrives, he'll get

to share his row with his new brother/sister!

{we find out in a week what

we're having!!! We CANNOT wait!}

so, stay tuned for the big announcement!!

another thing I LOVE...

my automatic sliding door...

with the push of a button the passenger

side rear door glides open which is great for the girls!

{plus I have a handy button on my remote

when my hands are full of groceries/and or kids!}

when we began our search for a bigger

car, I can guarantee you that a minivan was

the last thing on my list...I really wanted

a suburban, tahoe, acadia...but none

of those options worked for us.

Either too expensive to buy,

or too expensive to drive, gas-wise!

I love that our new car gets great gas mileage!

And, I still have room to haul around my big

fancy stroller!

Enough of me rambling...here are

a few pics of our new van!

I LOVE red!

...and I LOVE that it has leather!

{great for kids & spills!}

so many options on where to place carseats,

plus we have room for others to ride with us,

for example, grandparents, aunts, uncles ect!!

{that middle seat is just folded down, it actually seats 8!}

Excited to take it on our first roadtrip home next week

for our level 2 sonogram!! :)

Happy Monday!
