Good thing we have lots of parking at our house... Jake got his "first ride" the other day. A $700 truck Robert got from a friend. It has one window handle and no knobs... but, HEY! THE RADIO WORKS! Jake loves is and his friends named it "MATER". (Only his friend, Emily could name it!) And, Mr. Poo Poo Head loves the "Road Trips"!
Jessi was so jealous of Mater that she went out for an oil change and came back with "Sally", (gulp, yikes and "Holy Crap, can your kids buy cars without you?") Anyway, we named it "Sally" 'cuz that's the cute Porsche on "Cars". It really is a good deal and I don't worry about her as much.
So now let's talk about the discussion Kaycer Noodle Nose had... she thinks she should get "Lightning McQueen". I've been trying to explain that the UTA bus is alot like Lightning... just more people get to ride at the same time! Yeah, no, she's not buying it.
Anyway, the kids are learning the price of cars, gas and (OMG)....INSURANCE ON A TEENAGE BOY EVEN ON A BONGO SLED IS CRAZY TALK!!! Funny too, how if your grades or your driving record sucks your insurance rates go up. Kind of eats that $7 an hour money up in a big hurry. I'm hoping that "Get a college education or get used to Mater" lecture is starting to pay off!
Actually, it's really cool that the kids are excited about growing up and getting first cars and stuff. It seems like last week Sterling was painting that brown mustang, Sheri had to hand me the keys to the "Toyota Corolla Deluxe" and Weed was putting miles on my mustang!
Love you guys! Sooooo excited to have you all here!
