Oh what fun...

Oh what fun it is to ride in a Swagger Wagon. Tonight we have a new vehicle in our garage. We will be saying goodbye to our faithful steed, the Ford Windstar, tomorrow. It has gotten us from New York to Florida to San Diego and just about everywhere in between. Lots of laughs, fights, and chicken nuggets have been shared in that trusty, dented van.

Oh what fun for Bill and Tate to road trip to the Big Twelve Championship game in honor of Tate's 13th birthday...
Though the outcome of the game was not fun. Not fun at all. We watched from home...
That was painful enough.

Oh what fun to be on stage for a dance performance. I don't know what was more fun for her, dancing...
Or getting to wear makeup...
Oh what fun to go to our new Trader Joe's for the first time...
I should have been embarrassed by how I kept saying "I'm so happy" over and over again while walking through the store. Here's the back story, though. Four years ago, I called Trader Joe's corporate office and asked them to come to our city. When I told him it was in Nebraska, he laughed and said "I don't think so." Whatever. Who's laughing now? The girl happily walking through Trader Joe's, that's who. Joe, you were worth the wait.

And Oh what fun it is to have Lulu in our lives...

We've never met, yet I know that you and your family could have done that Swagger Wagon video. :) Love your humor and your heart.

I love that in the dance photo every single girl is in a different position! :) I remember my tap days.
I love Trader Joe's too...think if I called they'd laugh if I said Upland, IN??
I love your family and am excited for you to enjoy and make memories in your new, gently used, van! :)
Love you!

I just visted Omaha over Thanksgiving and visited TJ's new store there. I said the same things as I walked through their store, stocking up on 2 buck chuck and Candy Cane Joe Joe's, only to go back the next day on our way home to Denver, which sadly does not have a TJ. Happy shopping!!

I was so happy about Trader Joe's too. I have been there twice and they haven't been open a week yet.

It looks like it's always fun at the Kollar house. And, now that you have a Trader Joe's, I want to move next door even more! ha!

Christina said...

What fun, indeed!
Michaela (she's 9) has been begging me to buy her some lipstick. I told her,"I don't even wear lipstick!" :)

I've been lobbying for a TD's on our side of town since the other side has 2! "Not enough disposable income" is the line I've got. Oh how I love the brown paper sacks- almost as much as anything in the store. So useful, so versatile.
