This week's obsession!

So since selling the van we have been borrowing Thayne's Scion to get the kids and I to and from work... I HATE this arangement almost as much as he does! He loves that baby so I have to be super careful and I am always super aware of what the kids are doing, how I'm driving, etc. Anyway, I'm working really hard to save my pennies this summer so I can buy a Chrysler Aspen. I don't want Thayne's help or his money with this cause I want to be a big girl and know I did it by my self! So this week we have been working on our bikes getting them ready for warmer weather so we can use this as transportation :) I'm so excited!!! We all know what a tree huger I can be at times and this makes me sooooo happy!

Doesn't Talan look sooo cute with his helmet? lol I love him! 
This is my pride and joy that I worked so hard on! This is my old bike from like 8 years ago and since I'm trying to save my pennies, buying a new one wasn't exactly the smartest thing, sooo,... I refurbished my old one with Zebra Duck Tape! I know, how could I be so smart, right? lol I know it's the trashiest thing I could have ever done but it looks so cool and I'm so excited for it. Brent (my father-in-law) helped me fix my tires on it and gears, thank goodness for him! I will be getting a bike trailer in a couple weeks but Talan is loving this seat for now. I'm so excited to be living greener, saving money AND getting the excersize I need!

WOW look at you be green. I am so not the earth friendly green conscious human being, but I appreciate those of you who are. My sister had a Chrysler Aspen it was a beautiful car and quite the money pit. Have fun saving up for that puppy :) Your boys are darling.

Yes, they are pretty pricy but I want one real bad! But of course I will get a used hybrid ;)
