Goodbye Old Friend

It was a sad day when we sent our 1999 Ford Windstar to the Pick N'Pull.


Seeing it for the last time.


Elijah and Sadee cried when they saw it leave. I even got teary eyed!

It was time for us to let go of our mini-van. We've had it since before Sadee was born. It's been so good to us! It's brought 3 babies home from the hospital. It took us to our first family trip to Disneyland. It took us to my Grandma's funeral in Utah. It took 3 of our kids to their first day's of school. It made many trips back and forth between Roseville and Oroville, and Plumas Lake and Lincoln and Oroville and Sacramento. It picked kids up from school for the past 4 years. BUT, for the last year, Jason nursed it along. It didn't have windshield wipers that worked. It had a major gas fume smell after we drove it. Jason tore everything apart and it still didn't go away. Towards the end, it didn't like driving anymore and just seemed tired. So after months and months and months of praying and looking for another car, we decided to upgrade.... in size that is....

A 12 Passenger.... and we absolutely LOVE IT! (except for the gas)

Brittney, you're so funny! What a wonderful addition to your family! It is sad saying goodbye to a car that's been in your family, but you're moving up girl! :)
