Wonderful Weekend in Moab

This last weekend we were able to spend it in Moab with my family. Friday night when we got there we celebrated my dad's birthday.
Happy Birthday Dad!Then on Saturday everyone went off jeeping while I planned to spend a relaxing day shopping and reading a book. Well...plans ended up changing. Not even an hour into jeeping my parents' friend's jeep broke down. Their back axle broke and they spent the rest of the day going back and forth going into town to get parts to fix it. So, the other women from our group stayed in town while the men fixed it.Instead of being all alone, I was able to have my mother and sister-in-law around the rest of the day. I did go shopping with my mother and then all of us girls sat lounging around reading books. Although the weekend didn't go as planned, it was still a nice and much needed vacation.

We bought a Jeep

So, the other week we ended up making a purchase that we love. I'm happy to say that we now are the proud owners of a Jeep!...Jeep stroller that is. We had heard about this really good deal from our sister-in-law and so Mike went out and bought it while I was still at work. We got the last one at Sears that was on sale. Mike and I have been joking about how unfair it is that we buy our baby a Jeep to "drive" before we buy one for ourselves. According to the specs on a website it claims to fit certain baby car seats. So, we are now on the quest to see if it will work for the car seat we want.

Not quite the type of Jeep for jeeping in Moab on the trails, but it's still cute!
