And Just Like That........

 My oldest son Eli purchased his first vehicle- Eli is like his daddy......a saver- Matt always says that Eli probably has the first dollar he ever made :) My mom started a 'Kiddy Account' at her bank when my boys were very small- Eli started saving when he was 8 years old for his first vehicle- By the time he was 13 he was pretty sure he wanted a Toyota Truck- By 14 he had done his research and knew he still wanted a Toyota but narrowed it down to a 4 wheel drive Tacoma- This past year he narrowed it down even farther to a Toyota Tacoma that was 4 wheel drive with an manual transmission- Tonight I watched a boy and his daddy, both equally excited (but trying not to show it tooo much) stand together in agreement on a monumental purchase- I saw a proud daddy hand off keys to his super excited son to drive a much awaited vehicle home-
My precious Eli Ben........
AND JUST LIKE THAT you done grew up on your daddy and mommy!
We are so proud of you!!
P.S. Joshy John I think you should pick the name for Eli's truck :)
P.S.S. Reece (Kauai) congrats on your truck too (and please tell you mom hi from me)!!!


Trying to take pictures while Eli was 'looking' at the truck- I keep telling myself that
someday he will be grateful his mom picture stalked him during this important moment :)

Officially purchased!!

driving it for the first time :)
