New Car and Favorite Picture

Tuesday, February 7th we bought a (new to us) 2011 Dodge Durango.  We drove a little ways to a dealer where the salesmen aren't paid on commission and the listed price matched Kelley Blue Book.  We had it narrowed down to a Toyota Sienna or the Durango.  It took awhile to decide, and at one point we asked Wes.  He cheerfully  Durango.  Then we had the choice of one of three colors.  Wes said grey, and that ended up being what we chose.  We should have listened to toddler in the first place and saved a bunch of time.

Anyway here it is:

Isn't it pretty?

 (The salesman parked crazy when he pulled it up for us.)

Features I love about my car:

~ We all fit! Plus, there is room for luggage, groceries, etc.

~  It senses when the key is near so the driver's side door opens just by pulling the handle. 

  No more digging in my bag to find to get in the car while juggling two kids.  

  Also, it is literally impossible lock the keys in the car.

~  Backup camera and sensors.

~  Decent fuel economy for it's size.

~  Screen that tracks you mile per gallon.

~  Bluetooth calling through stereo.

~  All the fun little features I am always finding.

~  It is so pretty looking.

~  It feels dang good to drive.

After finished up at the dealership Bret headed home with Wes, and I went to go visit my grandma.  It was so good to see her, and it was nice to only have one child to keep track of at the nursing home.

When I got home it was time for bed and stories.  This is one of my all time favorite pictures.  Look at there faces.

It amazes me how little babies like reading.  We are big fans of books at our house.
