I have felt like a CRAZY Single WoMaN all week long..... Sold my car, Deep cleaned the house for company, did some massages, helped at school, made some Capri Sun bags-(which always make me LUPORS,) Did countless craft projects, ran to like 10 stores trying to find white sandals for me & Cayz(finally found some at TJMax,) shopped for wedding & birthday gifts, ran to & from Baseball Tues, & Wed. with 4 kids (tons o' fun,) ran to Instacare for Creed(Strep Throat:( ) Bike rides, Dog Walks, Organizing & switching my kids rooms(going through clothes/socks,) getting rid of stuff(while the kids slept-cuz that is the only way to go!) Dinner w/ Adults-my siblings, nephew Jordan's Wedding,Luncheon & Reception in Enterprise, Running my kids All over The Show, & now it is Sunday.....

All I want to do is VEG!! --- YEAH RIGHT, like that's gonna happen!!

The Yuke

We loved our Rendezvous, but are soo happy with the YUKON, & all its space!! I enjoy every feature it has & the kids do too..... the GINORMOUS TV mainly-haha! We are looking forward to our FUN Adventure back East in The "Yuke"
Happy Trails until we are "Home again, Home again, Jiggity Jog" -as my sweet dad would say.
(We will be back in August)

SOLD

I can hardly believe I sold my car (in 2 days)that we loved so much! It is a little bitter sweet...we just needed more room (cargo mainly) This has been a great car. I brought Treygen, Tekai & Cayzli home from the hospital in this, when they were born. It has been to Arizona, New Mexico, California & Texas with us. My kids & I have rocked out to some sweet tunes in here, watched the stars from the moon roof & we will always have fond memories of our cute Shamu SUV :) Here's to you-- take care of your new owners for us!

**Buick Rendezvous 2004-2010** -but still living on in the Hymus Home :)

Summer Move

Well it looks like we are headed back East for the Summer! Jason has work in Maryland & leaves next week. We will meet him out there when school gets out. It is going to be a looong, but FUN road trip across the USA :) Woohoo- I've always wanted to do something adventurous like this! Now is our chance to go WiLd-haha. We think it will be great to show our kids so many historical sights & learn more about our great country.

Distances from where we will be:

Baltimore - 20 minutes

Washington D.C. - 1 hr 15 min.

Philadelphia - 1 hr 30 min.

New York :)BIG GRIN - 3 hours

New Jersey - 2 hr 30 min.

So, if anyone wants to come play with us this summer- you'd have a place to stay with us. Now just sing with me the "Griswald Vacation" song "Holiday Roooolll, Holiday Rooooooolll" -too bad we don't have a "family truckster"-aka: station wagon or, better yet Cousin Eddie's motorhome!

**Jason is selling his Toyota Tundra too - :( He won't need it in MD. It is his FAV & if you don't want it after 4 months, he'd buy it back!!-That is how much he looves it! Anyone interested let us know...

Shape-shifter Dude

While at the park today, Treyg & buddy Kasen were playing & Kasen says to him,

"We are shape-shifters, I am a T-Rex, what animal are you?"

Treyg: "I'm a Rock-Man"

Me: "A Rocket man, that's cool!"

Treyg: "No, a ROCKMAN, someone who can pick up rocks!"

**I love this Unique Kid & his oh-so fun Personality!**

(Not many people can pull-off his sweet outfits & looks-he's one in a million!)

Crazy Kai Guy

What do you get when you mix together: milk, coffee creamer(I use it for frosting), Sour Cream, Chocolate Frosting... & Tekai??? .... Chocolate Milk!!! Yep, new recipe apparently I wasn't aware of it, nor did I realize what was going on while I was folding clothes in the other room :) That's safe right?

This little dude has been getting into way too many things lately!! He is very honest though, so it is hard to get upset. He is a funny character.

Tonight for dinner :

Me "Kai you can come eat some cookie salad"

Kai "No mom I don't want kucky salad"
Me "No buddy it is yummy COOKIE salad"

Kai "Oh, it doesn't have kucky stuff in it?"

Me "Not this time" :)

Kai "Ohhhh YESSS!!"

Those who know me, know my worst pet peeve of motherhood is Potty Training.... 3 down & now 1 Sassy Girl to go!

St. Patrick's Day

Gosh, why is it that when I actually need "you tube", I can't find what I'm looking for?!? In honor of St. Paddy's Day, I really wanted to add the skit of Adam Sandler from SNL singing like Bono the song "Not gonna get wasted this St. Paddy's Day" :) Love love Looooove SNL & this song is Awesome!
..."No more acting silly, no more acting crazy, no more waking up with 2 naked guys from Chile.., not gonna get wasted this St. Paddy's Day!"....
This is a Classic : Happy St. Patrick's Day anyway.
My kids were excited to try & find the lil' Leprechaun that left green urine in our toilet- haha! (thx Laurie) - no she didn't do it! - just gave the good idea :)
