A month or two ago Jason and I thought, "We should have a lower car payment..." so we put our car up for sale, not really sure if we wanted to sell it or not. We didn't hear anything for a couple of weeks, and that was okay because.....we loved our van. Then all of the sudden 3 or 4 people email us about the same time, and we ended up selling it. So we were down to 1 car, this was April 17 I think, with no 3rd row seating. Some how (and probably not entirely safely) we put all three car seats in the back row. Then we started our wild search for another van. Last weekend Leslie and Alex came to visit and ended up watching Colby and Eva ALL day because we went to Dallas to find a car. (San Antonio is a pretty big place, but for some reason we couldn't find any here.) NO LUCK!!! It was a 17 hour day and Lilia was a perfect little baby. Not fun, and Jason said, "I am NOT going to Houston." (we'd seen some vans online there too.) So I found 3 really promising vans in Houston and wanted to go look half day yesterday. Jason didn't want to-I couldn't blame him. Then he says, "There's an Astros game tonight, want to go to Houston when I'm done with my meeting at 2?"
I'd just like to thank the Astros, it's because of them we went to Houston and finally got a van. Plus the kids had a great time at the game and Jason got an awesome baseball hat.
Check out Eva's face in this one :) 
I had to throw these in here. My sister-in-law Crystal did me the biggest favor ever because I was a little paranoid about going to the mall here, so she went to a sa-weeeet Gymboree sale for me. Have you ever seen more cute girls? Because I'm pretty sure I haven't!!
THANKS CRYSTAL!!

You guys are amazing! I can't imagine driving a couple of hours with three kids, looking at vans AND then going to a baseball game, then driving a couple or more hours home. This defintely isn't for the faint at heart. Looks like you had great seats and the kids had fun. Glad you finally got a new van, Dana. The girls outfits are absolutely darling - as always. I guess Jason is still a baseball fan at heart.
YAY!! New van! What did you get? I really think we need a van, my car is packed full and matt's is falling apart. I think it will be a couple years BUT I still want to know what you got and why.
As for the outfits. Seeing them in the cute clothes makes my heart sing. I am totally your girl any time there is a mondo sale like last week's. It is TRULY a pleasure for me. TRULY.
How fun!!! Way to make the most of the trip. It makes me proud.
Maybe Eva was trying to smile like Grace?? :o)
Sa-weet, a new van!!! How many cars have you had in your life, Dana? I can think of at least 5...
Looks like everyone had fun at the baseball game! Mmmm...cotton candy!
Seriously adorable...I want a pic of the new ride!!
Is Eva's hair in pig tails in that seriously cute gymbo outfit pic? Or is that one pony?? Oh my goodness CUTE! :) I want those boots for Emma!!!! ahhh! :) :) And what van did you get??
Hahha, two piggies, but it does look like a side pony, doesn't it?
