• About:

    I swore I would never drive a minivan, so I went through a bit of an identity crisis when we finally broke down and bought one. But now I've decided to get over myself, and fully embrace my life as a suburban, minivan-driving, Mommy Blogger. Since my family rocks, and my family and the minivan are a package deal, I am hereby declaring that My Minivan Rocks!

    This blog is about so much more than my minivan; It's about the three beautiful kids who fill the carseats in my minivan. Christian and I were married in May 2003. After fertility treatments, our son Noah was born to us in January 2006. Our daughter Zoe was born in November 2006 in Phu Tho, Vietnam, and came home when she was four-months-old. Colin is our baby boy. He was born in July 2008 and came home when he was two-days-old through domestic adoption.

    We never planned to have our children THIS close together (we are probably the only people on the planet who can say they had two adoptions happen more quickly than expected), but we are enjoying our crazy new life!

Memorial Day weekend at the lake

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Lake James. It was too cold to swim, but we did get to take several rides on Grampie and Mimi’s new pontoon boat. Grampie let Noah drive the boat for a while.

 

Noah got an important call while we were out, but luckily he’s good at multi-tasking.

 

Zoe liked driving the boat too, but she enjoyed just being along for the ride as well.

 

She also enjoyed her time just hanging out on the deck.

 

We got a few projects done while we were there. Noah “helped” his dad hang some shelves and put together an airport to go along with the train table in Grampie and Mimi’s basement.

 

Grampie got a new fire pit for his birthday. Noah and Zoe thought the fire pit was OK, but they had more fun playing in the box it came in with Uncle Kurt.

 

As you can see from these pictures I took on the car ride home, we were a bunch of tired monkeys by the time we left.

Please note that there is no sleeping photo of the little dog. She, of course, was panting, whining, and pacing, even after three “happy pills.”
