The best part of our trip to Nevada

So as soon as we found out we were having another baby, we realized that we would no longer fit into our Chevy Malibu. We have been looking around for 6 months trying to figure something out. On our way to Nevada the check engine light came on in the car and as soon as we got there we went to the local Chevrolet dealer and they found some wire and replaced it. But while we were there we saw a Tahoe and looked at it wondering if we could afford it. We finally decided that the gas mileage on the Tahoe just wasn't worth it. Then Jeremy's Dad suggested going with Jeremy to Carson to a Toyota dealer that he knows. They found this Sienna, and with our big down payment, plus a some more from his Dad, we were able to have low enough payments to afford the trade. It is such a relief knowing we will all fit in one car. And it gets about the same good gas mileage as our car did. I love it.

This door I can automatically open with my keys. That will sure come in handy with a car seat in my hands. When the baby is born, until Logan is in a booster seat, we will take out the middle seat that's in this middle row. Then Kylee and Summer can get in and out of the back easily.
Other than the good gas mileage, this is my favorite part of the van. I can fit a big stroller and lots of groceries in here!

And both back seats fold flat into the floor. I think that is so cool!

I'm so glad you found a good car. We were in the same position last year, but we ended up picking a not so good van. The transmission went out 6 months later. Oh well, it gets us around, I guess.
