• 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!

Out of the mouths – “Happy now?”

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Tracy @ My Minivan Rocks!

Last week my mom and I took the kids to visit my step-dad at work. As we were getting back in the car, I asked Noah and Zoe to climb in their carseats while I changed Colin’s diaper. Noah climbed up, but Zoe kept stalling. I asked her several more times, but she wasn’t cooperating.

Finally I got mad and yelled at her to get in her seat. She begrudgingly climbed up, and with mega attitude said, “Are you happy now!?”

Oh that girl. I’m in trouble.

    Sassy and bold, if you didn’t know that already. Remember, I have the male version of Zoe here so I get it all too well.

    Payback’s a bitch. I’ll bet your mom laughed until she was sick when you told her this one.

      Oh she was there. And she definitely got a good laugh.

      She’s getting it from Zoe too though, since she watches the kids 2 days a week. The other day she put Zoe in time out and Zoe looked at her and said, “I am NOT happy.”

    I’m telling you these girls are going to give us a run for our money. Ava tells me almost the same thing on a daily basis.
