Out with the old and in with the new!

Hi everybody! Jess here. You're probably wondering where my mom is. She said I could write a "guest" post. So anyway, drumroll please... we bought a new car! It is a Mini Cooper Clubman, Pepper White, and brand new. I was the first kid, first passenger, first person to sit shotgun, first girl and first female to sit in the car. I might even be the first student driver! We usually name our car, but we haven't decided on one yet. The choices are Bonny Lass, Peppermint Patty and Snoopy. Please decide on your favorite, and we're open to suggestions. I hope you loved this guest post. Please tell me what you thought.
Signing off,
Jess

What's up!

Okay so we have been busy. I try really hard to do the blog thing but it is tough with two girls and a husband who works until 8.

I decided it was time to be more fluid. I am going to model the blog more like my friend Dan's blog which I love. Congrats to Dan, Minna, Hannah and Jane for welcoming a new baby girl into their family.

So we returned from Disney and Jim turned 42. No birthday gift for him because he really needs a new car. Luckily, our friends, the Schlectherberries, and our cousins, Rick and Erin, lent us a car to use. Jim's beloved Rodeo went to car heaven. The power steering was gone. We bought this truck a week after Jess was born so it will be sad to see it go. But a new car should be wheeling into place any minute!

Nicole was in her school play Annie. She as a maid in the Warbucks household. With over 120 children on stage, the show was a lot of fun to watch and see. I had the pleasure of being a costume maiden to all those stars.

Jess was finally able to go back and ride Pie. She even got off the leadline which was a big accomplishment. She is looking forward to spending more time this summer riding her heart out.

As for me, I am trying to stay out of trouble. I know my friend Bri would be disappointed at that statement but hey I have to be an example. JetBlue continues to be busy and I will be soon ramping up again for another round of the Disney Moms Panel. I have been finding my cousins on Facebook which has been awesome. I have over 40 first cousins of which I hardly see. Now at least I see them virtually!
