Momma got a New Ride!!!!


So it is offical after months of telling Michael I would like a new car, he worked his magic yesterday!!! So i am no longer driving the Mommy Van!

After spending 2 hours on one lot and not feeling very comfy with the vehicle or the deal we left. So our next stop i test drove around 3 SUV's and 2 cars. And i was finally able to say what i liked best! So we have a 2009 Hyundai Sonata SE. We got a stinking good deal, it has 800 miles and the owners only had it a few months. The dealership had not priced it yet, so Michael said what he would be willig to pay, while looking on kelly blue book on the i phone. They came back and said yes. We later realized Michael was looking at the car model that is below the Sonata! So after taxes, etc we still walked out paying $2000 under the blue book value!!! Best deal we have ever made!!! And it still has the brand new car smell! In fact they had not cleaned it yet. We had to wait for them to detail it before we could leave!

The the car has a V6 engine, which to me means that it has the guns to get me there fast! The features are super nicer than i thought we could afford! Sunroof that opens a little or alot! Great connections for the techy in me: I can talk on my phone thru Hands free bluetooth in the car. I can connect and listen to the ipod, and it tells me the name of the song on the car stereo read out! And of course a 6 cd player. I can open both garage doors with program button on the rear view mirror. It came with XM radio. Some of the other nice features are: has an odd leather and fabic seats, it is pretty!

So anyone that needs a 2001 Dodge Grand Cara Van- Sport Model. Call Micheal! He has decieded to sell it and buy a pontoon boat for the grown up family that we have now!!

Mother's Day Camp Out / Fishing Trip

Okay, i know that some of you, (mostly Jayma) will be sad they could not come with us! Michael decided that we needed a family camp out, so he scheduled a fishing trip to Choke Canyon Lake. We stayed in an air conditioned cabin. All the guys went out with a guide to go fishing; while the gals spent the day taking a nap, going for a few walks and playing a game. The guys caught a ton of catfish. We had a very good fish fry on Saturday night! And everyone took some catfish home for later use. Everybody had a great time and enjoyed each others company! We are looking forward to the next trip. Maybe July 4 at Lake Waco!

Spring Time in Texas

So after our trip to Nauvoo we remembered that we enjoy camping, so we spent one saturday checking out some nice camping areas south of San Antonio. Along the way we found a tons of wild flowers! My second favorite time of year!!!

The Spring Break Drive Across America!!

Well typical for the Ashmore Vactions. We spend alot of time driving, then rush around to see everything. But we enjoy seeing all the little towns and wondering what they do to make a living in the middle of no where! Enjoy the slide show! Slide curser over photo for detail.
