Minivan pictures

Bowing to popular demand, I am posting pictures of the minivan. I have to say, though, I was reluctant to post these. As you will see, the potential for bitter jealousy and full-on minivan envy is HUGE with this kind of sexiness. I didn’t want to disrupt the vehicular circle of life as we know it. Everyone is comfortable and happy with their theologies and century-old stereotypes and just as people that live in Idaho know it’s the coolest place to live and we LET everyone else believe otherwise so it is for us minivan owners.

And well, the consequences could be detrimental, to say the least, if EVERYONE now gets a minivan because of a few humble little photos that I posted on my blog. Think of the economy and view with caution, people, view with caution.

Disclaimer: Results may vary. Sexiness may manifest itself outwardly in many different forms depending on the make, model and color of your minivan.

1

Mike and I about to go grocery shopping.

2

Oh and here’s me taking Delaney to school, I’m mid-motion as you can see. The remote operated sliding door is beyond sensational, it’s downright Risque the way you can load kids in there like a semi-automatic.

3

There’s Mike, he’s chillin, waiting for Delaney to come out of pre-school.

4

Heading home. Minutes before this photo was taken, I rammed someone off the road.

5

Mike driving now, showing a little leg. Mike’s minivan owner sexiness manifests itself in the form of an English, Strokes fan, Transvestite.

6

And here we are back at home safely with the kid.

Please soak in the sexiness while you can, this post and all it’s contents will self-destruct in 5 minutes. This is serious. Our minivan sexiness could annihilate the world.

    Why do these pictures not surprise me in the least? I mean I practically see you all the time and I’ve never seen you dressed any different!!! :) You never cease to amaze me……

    Man, you guys are stylin’. So’s your kid. And your minivan, of course.

    Just imagine how hot you would have looked in your wedding dress with that van. What’s the official name of the color? You’ll have to rename it, of course, with a hot, sexy color description.

    I’m thinking Business Time may come around more than on Wednedays at the Battle Station from now on. If I could get Matt to rock a pink boa, I would be in the mood all the time…

    This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Those pink fishnets! Those black boots! The glasses and the “Blue Steel”! I love it.

  5. December 17th, 2007 at 6:53 pm, Kellie Says:

    WOW!!! Who knew a minivan could be so sexy??? You both did that is who — in all your own sexiness you knew!

  6. December 17th, 2007 at 6:53 pm, Jennifer England Says:

    Ok… TOO MUCH SEXINESS! My husband is going to have to go out tomorrow and buy me a freakin’ mini-van!

  7. December 17th, 2007 at 7:15 pm, Misty Says:

    Ugh oh… here is the flipside.
    you know how, on Jerry Springer, there are people dressed similarly? (those people also have snakes in their homes, but it’s likely their snakes are by choice) Well, THOSE people are what the rest of the world believes we Idahoans are like…

    Bummer…

    But really, you have likely changed the stigma on mini van mom/dad, in a totally positive way.
    Really.

    I can not tell you how much I needed that today!! Oh how I hope we travel with you two nuts:)

  9. December 17th, 2007 at 8:58 pm, amyh Says:

    Oh, that is too freakin’ hilarious. I seriously was having a difficult evening and I saw the updated feed and almost spit my teeth out on the floor. My 6 year old was watching over my shoulder and he wants to know “if we can see the funny people again tomorrow, Mom?”
    Rock on.

  10. December 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pm, Tam Says:

    You two are totally nuts, and I mean that in a GOOD way! Welcome to the minivan club. I love all the room in them. Seriously, the truly cool can drive whatever we want and coolness exudes from our pores. You know…like The Fonz. ;)

  11. December 17th, 2007 at 9:34 pm, Melissa Says:

    DANGIT!!!
    I went out this very afternoon to buy a minivan and now, guess what? They’re sold out. EVERYWHERE. I can’t even find one on ebay. Great.
    Thanks to ya’ll bringin’ sexy back, we missed the rush and will now have to stay minivanless losers for a little while longer.
    THANKS A LOT!

    Honestly? You might be the most attractive noncelebrity couple on earth. You are the Brad and Angelina of Idaho or wherever you live.

    Still cougar-ing on your spouse. Sorry. I love a man in a boa.

    The boots and the bare legs on your hubby are a little scary though.

    So hot.

    How you got Mike to lay up there on the roof is beyond me. I’m lucky if I can get my hubby to keep his eyes open in a photo, let alone pose.

  19. December 18th, 2007 at 1:42 pm, erinberry Says:

    Wow, a minivan has truly never looked so hot!

  20. December 18th, 2007 at 1:51 pm, dcrmom Says:

    I have LITERALLY never laughed this hard at a blog post. EVER. OMG. You guys are freakin’ hysterical.

  21. December 18th, 2007 at 4:07 pm, JJ Daddy-O Says:

    I guess that’s just how you roll up there in Boyzee, what no pictures flashing gang-sign?
    How about some stick-on Magnetic flames ? I can practically gaurentee you’ll be the only Mom in the pre-school pickup lane with these babies. They not only say “Sexy”, they say “Fast”, too.

  22. December 18th, 2007 at 4:47 pm, Ami Says:

    Oh my word, you are killing me! I wish I had thought of this when we decided to take the plunge into minivan world.

  23. December 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pm, Tarah Says:

    Oh jamie,
    Since I know the neighborhood you are in, I would just die to see what the neighbors thought of the pictures!!! Really, It would be so great to see you at a certain place picking up mail in theses outfits!!!With the mini-van of course. Just point outside if anyone stares, “I’m with the mini-van”

  24. December 18th, 2007 at 7:43 pm, Lindsey Wheeler Says:

    Okay, that is the most hilarious thing ever!! I am laughing out loud. We would be best friends with y’all if we lived in Idaho, for sure!!

  25. December 18th, 2007 at 11:11 pm, Audrey Says:

    Uh yeah… Im going to go ahead and call child services and warn them about you guys now BEFORE you adopt more kids and put them through this sort of sick torture…

  26. December 19th, 2007 at 1:29 pm, Marlene Says:

    You guys crack me up! What a great life your daughter must have with such fun parents. TOO FUNNY!

  27. December 19th, 2007 at 4:09 pm, Katy Says:

    I’ve printed these pictures and intend to mail them to your daughter in 10 years for her use against you when you are telling her she can’t go out wearing whatever it is you might be calling inappropriate. I hope you were blasting the “I’m too sexy” song by the group Right Said Fred out of the van during the shoot. Wait, is Mike one of the guys in that band?

  28. December 19th, 2007 at 8:24 pm, Nicki Says:

    What, most moms don’t wear pink fish nets to pick their kids up? You know they want to.

  29. December 20th, 2007 at 12:54 am, Rebecca Says:

    hi-lari-ous. wonder what your neighbors were thinking??

  30. December 20th, 2007 at 2:09 pm, Chandra Says:

    I love you!! Thanks for the great laugh :)
    We need to get more creative at my blog.

    OMG, too funny! Your poor neighbours - I bet the net curtains were twitching & the phone lines crackling!

  32. December 20th, 2007 at 11:16 pm, Cami Says:

    Ok, I have a couple commments:

    1. I have a Tahoe and I also HATE having to fold down the damn middle row to get to the 3rd row. Such a pain. I have NOT yet considered the move to the other side, but you do make it look good!

    2. I just read your post about the Fugees. We live in Arizona and we’re not officially signed up with the fugees, but we met a few IRC refugee families after reading about their apartment fire in the news. We took them to the zoo, we took them to my Mom’s house for Thanksgiving, we go read to their kids, etc. There are a lot of them. We love them to pieces and we’re throwing them a little Christmas party tomorrow at their apartment complex. All 55 of them. Yes, that’s 14 apartments of people from Burundi and Tanzania. So, I wish you luck with your new friends. One thing that has been handy is that when I need to print something for them, I do it in English and also French (our refugees speak French, Kirundi and Swahili). Google has a fabulous translator that you can cut & paste and transform from one language to another. Works like a charm and I highly recommend it.

    Love your blog - keep it up!

    Awesome! Not surprised in the least. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  36. December 22nd, 2007 at 10:20 pm, Jane Says:

    I love this post. One Question, though…who took the pictures and can they come to my house and make me and the husband look that freakin’ cool?!??!
    OK, it was two questions. Thanks for the ideas!

    I love the pictures. In the last year we went the way of the minvan as well. Here is our post about our transition.

    I love your humor.

    We are a military family as well. A Navy family living in Oklahoma, weird I know.

    Merry Christmas

    This is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen!! I had a hard time making the transistion to a minivan too, but now I love it. If you have more than 2 kids it’s a must.

  40. December 26th, 2007 at 4:04 am, Mrs. Baker Says:

    You are the funniest person ever.

    We need to hang out. How far is Idaho from St. Louis.

    Seriously!

  41. December 28th, 2007 at 1:19 am, Tami Says:

    I have to admit that I don’t like mini-vans but you made me think twice about getting one because they look so damn sexy with you two in the picture. Will you guys come with mine? LOL Hilarious!

    OK, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time! I really needed this today!
