A Water Day At 2846 South

Now I know how boring I can get when I blog on about this and that and the other.. so this time Ill let pictures speak for themselves. =) With the help of captions of course! lol

Coco Motion! 

I call him Coco Motion after the actual product Coco-Motion! And if you don't know what a Coco-Motion is, then you seriously need an update. lol kidding It's a hot chocolate machine.

Tamara with a water gun. Sunshine, Christina and Jay about to slip in slide into the mini pool.

The mini pool looks like its on its last breath. haha

Water Fun!

Let the games begin!

Christina Vs. Sunshine

Oh. And Coco found him his own personal swimming pool.. haha

Wrong way bud! lol

Ya. It was hot one day and we decided to have a little fun with water just in the front yard of "Home Sweet Home!" 

My New Friend Named Pats

Yesterday was a total BUST!

Woke up and our morning was same old.. but decided to take the kids with me to do some grocery shopping.. havent done that in awhile so we were off...

with the help of Mone of course.. Me and 4 kids at the store ALONE is like asking a bee to sting me in the eye.. haha

But anyway... at the store we get our stuff and put the goods in the trunk.. as soon as we get in the car the alarm goes off...

It's happened before and wasn't anything huge to me.. so I use the remote on my key to turn it off..

Now, apparently if you make too many attempts on turning it off you trigger something called PATS... pats is short for Passive Anti-Theft System...

Although PATS is my security and ultimately is the safety for my car, we're not very good friends right now.

So now that PATS has been triggered.. I call FORD... I've always loved the Ford brand.. we have a couple Ford vehicles in my family and we've never had an issue with them.. and I guess technically still to this day we haven't..

Ford tells me, I have to get it towed to a dealership. Now, that by itself told me... MONEY MONEY MONEY!... So instead of calling the tow company, who do I call? JUNE! hahaha pluse, he wasn't working so it was convenient.

June comes to the store.. him and money try and "bypass" the security system and disable it.. NOPE.. didn't work.. June calls Ford, kinda gave them a hard time about having to tow it to the dealership and really just tried to get them to tell him how to disable it.. Ford says, they can't, the car has to be reset at a dealership..

I stood there in the hot sun for a good hour and a half watching all these other people drive off with their "older" cars.. and I wished mine was like theirs.. lol And don't get me wrong I'm truly grateful for the protection that comes installed in the car.

The tow home $$, The Diagnosis $$, The fix $$...

To Hot To Trot!!

It is sooo hot!! And we have central air... I just can't take it! I just wanna take a nap in the freezer! Even though I'm allergic to the cold... hives and cold would be a thousand times better then feeling sticky, sweaty and hot!! ugh!

But anyway.. aside from the "slap yo mama" heat.. things lately have been very, ROUTINE... Idk.. I guess things have just gone to the point where things need to be switched up... =)...

So..

What do we do? What's there to do with all the heat, a very "eye kept" budget, and two little ones that make you wanna cry? hahahaha

I know... duh.. It's so obvious!!

STAY HOME! =)

Well, it'll take some brainstorming but whatever it is we switch up, will have to be switched up AT HOME!

I got a couple pics from the Fourth of July... but since my camera wasn't very darkness friendly, I settled for what I could..

So there's Tamara, you can't really see her sparkler but it's there.. We had a hard time earlier that day debating on what we were gonna do that night.. Everyone else wanted to go out to firework shows, but didn't know if we were gonna get together as a family... Communication that day was a little on the NOT side.. hahaha... Les, Mone and Willy wanted to go hiking, aki and chess with there kids had their own plans and the tausingas were sort of neutral.. they kinda just went along with whatever.. I was pretty set on buying fireworks for Tamara and Hene, cutting up some watermelon, and buying a bunch of Mc Doubles for whoever wanted to stay home... 

You can see what we ended up doing.. hahaha.. 

So after spending $107 on some "ok" fireworks.. The night was pretty fun.. I remember sitting there watching Willy and Mone light the firework show for everyone and asking myself if I got my moneys worth.. but then after seeing Tamara, Sunshine and Teta loving the fireworks and Hene's surprised reaction to the show, it was definitely well worth it!

If you look carefully at this pic, Sunshine is a ghost! Pretty cool stuff..

Were going backwards.. This pic was July 3. My mom called a "Monster Crew Campout" for the Fourth of July... There she is trying to fix the door to "my" tent... geeze.. it doesn't surprise me that it broke.. oh well.. And then that's Tamara bugging Grandma to open her chocolate milk.. haha She's such a big help huh?

And this is the best way Henele helps.. by staying calm in his stroller! Now the only downfall for this holiday was Henele broke out in HIVES!! (sniff sniff).. You can kinda see it starting up on his arms and a little on his cheek.. but it totally broke out later that day and Me and Les took him in to the hospital, they gave him some Benadryl and it came down over night.. But it sucks knowing that he has the same allergies as me, cause I know how it feels when you really break out.. He's still my strong little man non the less.

Tamara always takes good care of Henele. I love her so much for how well she shows her love for him!

If ever you two grow up and by any crazy chance happen to read this blog, I want you two to know how much I LOVE YOU!... Words literally can't express it. From morning till dawn, my mind and my heart are always motivated and steered by the two of you! 

TAMARA AND HENELE, MOMMY LOVES YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!

I would put in a million plus more "so's" but that would just be annoying huh? lol
