Jetta for Sale!!

Well...we bought a new car! We outgrew my sweet little 99' Jetta. She went nearly 160,000 miles over these last 11 years and served me well. I have lots of nice memories in that car (took Levi home in her, went to Colorado and on other fun trips etc.) so it is a little sad to see her go, but I am so excited to have a "new" car! Philip couldn't even sit in the Jetta's passenger seat because Levi's car seat made it too close for his legs to fit.

We got a GREAT deal on a 2006 Explorer that is in really great shape and seems like new to me! I have enjoyed driving it already and can't wait to see where it will take us!
My favorite part is the cool fold-away 3rd row seats! This will be great once we have more kids and Levi's friends to tote around :).

Levi and I made our first big trip in the Explorer yesterday to my Mom and Dad's to spend the day. Levi had another fun day with his Mo, Pop and Aunt Kate...and of course his love, cousin Nora. She gave him all of her cool sparkle flag stickers that Great Gran gave to her. They really seem to like each other...so cute and I can't wait to see them grow to love each other more! Right before I snapped this shot Nora climbed up in the chair and patted it next to her and ask "Wevi" to sit next to her :)

Well, Levi has his 6 month appointment on Monday so I will update later with the new stats! Anyone want to buy a Jetta???

yay - congrats on the new wheels...David and I have been car-window-shopping ... nothing for awhile. but we are trying to keep our ears to the ground over the next year or so... we are looking for something that would allow a 3rd kid AND a stroller.... tricky tricky stuff, especially since I am trying with all my will power to avoid a mini-van :) so excited for you and if you head this way, let me know and we will have to get the kiddos together :)

What a fun post! You will LOVE your new car! And I love the pic of Levi and Nora. They really are so sweet together. :)
I bet you'll be able to sell the Jetta pretty quickly. It would be a good first car for a 16 year old kid saving up money to buy their own car or something. Hope its sells fast!
Love you!

Awww, that Jetta has given me many a ride to Bunko. Goodbye, old friend. :)

Wahooo! You got yourself a cool "mom" car! Way to go! Hope you like it! I think it needs to be tested via a road trip to Lubbock :o)

I love your new Explorer! That's such a great SUV. I can't believe how much Levi has grown since your last post. He's so cute!

Awesome! I hope that some of your adventures in your new car bring you close to me! Levi is getting so big!! Pretty soon he will be helping his daddy put a lift on your new Ford.
