Trade

So in May right before we moved to Kansas, we had to buy our first car. So we bought a 2008 Ford Edge. We loved it, we loved how bright it was, gave us more room for everyone to enjoy together. Dedrick was to get a work car, but they ended up hiring a new guy and gave him the work car instead. So Dedrick was driving his car to all the job sites.

A few weeks ago we had a down pour of rain, Dedrick had to drive to one of the field location and got stuck. One of his co-workers tried to pull him out, the poor guy got stuck also. So he unhooked from Dedrick and got himself unstuck. His co-worker went to grab someone with a back hoe to come and help. They were able to get him unstuck finally. When he called to tell me what had happened, I started to think the new car was not going to work come winter.

When Dedrick got home we decided that we needed to trade in the new car for a truck with 4 wheel drive. So Friday we went to the Ford dealer in town and trade our 3 month old car for a truck. So we got him a 2007 Ford F-150! The truck has 5 seats, has four doors and a full truck bed.

So here is the new Truck. I wish my husband would have taken pictures of the car after getting unstuck by the back hoe.

Back to School

Becca and Aidan went back to school on the 19th of August. The school is in the next town over about 4 or 5 miles from our house. The school houses grades Pre-K to 3rd, the class sizes are about 16 kids. They ride the bus from the Middle School in town to the Elementary. Both of them seem to enjoy the new school! My kids are so brave with all the new schools and making new friends. I love them for being who they are!

The school they go is Canton-Galva. How the school system works is that the Elementary and High School is over in Canton, the Middle School is in Galva. So as you can see we live in a very small town.

Summer Ends

With the close of summer, we start the year. We have been busy this summer with Becca & Aidan in baseball for the month of June. Swim lessons for all three kids in June, July and part of August. We have gone fishing, to the library, to play grounds, water parks, the zoo, drives to Tulsa for the day, movies. Do I have any pictures, NO, I seem to forget it or do not take any when I have the camera. The kids got a surprise on Friday, Grandpa and Grandma came to visit for a few days. It is so nice to have them with us. I am going to miss them when they start school on Thursday. Becca is going into 3rd grade-regular classes, Aidan will be in Kindergarten. We have had a busy summer, but all good things must come to an end.
