January Cousin Sleepover

Started the night with Little Cesar's pizza and bread sticks. Yum!

Then we got a little sugar rush of KK.

Then frick and frack played dressup.

Alex had a couple dates.

Ellie was thinking Lily needed a lesson in style.

Sleepover continues....

Bath time. Lily got a bath too but later with Emily.

Love this one!

Girls striking a pose for Granny in their matching Christmas photos.

The faces are priceless!

I am not kidding, this DID happen. They were watching a movie while I was making their beds and I came in here and found her out cold . So precious!

The first and probably the LAST TIME this will happen. :) Lol!

Little girls with Emily.

Old Blue

Well tonight, January 12, 2015, Old Blue hit a milestone. She rolled 100,000 miles. I took her off the car lot brand spanking new and together we made it to the huge milestone.

I know it's silly, but this car means a lot to me. It was the first big purchase I bought after starting my first REAL job at Timber Truss. I started at TT in June of 1998 and got Old Blue in August of 1998. Needless to say the car lasted longer than the job....

Rob and I took this car on our honeymoon. I drove it until I couldn't get out of it when I was about 9 months pregnant with Emily. Eventually it became Robs car to go back and forth to the a Food Dog.

She is not too good in the snow. I've had a few times where I questioned if I'd ever get home when I got stuck at work when it started to snow. But with prayer and "peptalk" she got me home. I can't remember any scary moments while driving her. I always kept in mind that her tail can get loose if it's rainy and if need be I could blow the doors off most anyone I wanted to . ;) I've managed to avoid getting any tickets while driving her. My dad and Rob say that's a miracle!

Well, I'm thankful she's paid off (with a little help) and she runs well for a 17 year old Stang! I pray we'll be able to hd onto her so that the Yearout Mustang tradition can continue. Maybe after SEVERAL years of practice I MIGHT let Emily and Alex get behind the wheel.
