Our National Anthem!

Miss Diane and some of the KOK kids sang the National Anthem at the March of Dimes walk this morning!!

Aydan's program

Aydan had his 1st grade program last night, here is a cute little dance they did!!

We growd up

Remember when these water fountains were huge??? Last night I had to laugh cause they seem so tiny now--even the gym seemed so small!!

Worst day ever

Aydan: mom 2 days a go was the worst day ever
Me: why? What happened?
A: well one of my friends got kissed
Me: what??
A: yeah it was so gross I didn't even look

Haha

Is that a cat???

LOL our neighbor's kitty got her yearly hair cut!!!

Bouncy Ball-FAIL

So I tried to make bouncy balls--yeah didn't work so much
then I was told I need more borax--maybe we will try again!

So then we made some slime--it worked much better!!

I'm gonna shoot ya

Some PVC pieces and marshmallows and the kids (and neighbor kids) are happy!!! There are gonna be many wars in the cul-de-sac!!!

oobleck!!

 This morning we made some oobleck, Aydan had made some in science and wanted to make some at home--so thanks to pintrest I got the recipe!!
It looks like a liquid but it is solid--strange stuff!!!

Some cornstarch

and water

Don't worry mom

So there was some glass in the road and I ran over some (couldn't avoid it).  So we get home and hear sssssssssss--yep tire leak!
Brooklyn runs to the garage, and yells "don't worry mom I found the tire pump"

Good Sportsmanship

I would like to think I have done a good job teaching Q this....and after watching him play baseball the past few years--some kids need their asses beat!!!
So we have taught Q--you might miss the ball, get struck out, get yelled at by the  coach--OH well get over it and move on--catch the next one!! And he has been very good in brushing this stuff off!  I have seen kids throw their helmets, throw bats, cuss at everyone that passes them, and cry like a baby when they miss a catch or strike out--THIS totally pisses me off!! If my child did that I would walk into the dug out and beat his ass--and he knows it!!! I can not believe parents allow their children to act this way, but they are the one who also think it is ok for their 12, 13 or 14 yr old to say the "F" word whenever they want--seriously!!! Now I know kids cuss, my kids cuss BUT if they did it in my presence--yeah soap in the mouth!!!
What is wrong with parents??? This is where this stems from--are they trying to "live" their dreams thru their kids...ugh I am all for being competitive but too many parents take it to the extreme and it is not ok!!

So here is to another baseball season, the kids and I will be on the go for sure.
 I really love watching Q play him play these sports and I am teaching the others to cheer him on, be his biggest fans, we are all he has!!!

Strings

Both boys are in Orchestra, Quintin plays the cello and Zach plays the viola....It is amazing how much they improve each year--the high school kids are amazing!! So glad my kids are apart of it!!!! It is hard to get a good pic but I got some

Playin in the snow in April

Lots of snow..good thing she ran out to play in it in the morning..it was all gone by dinner time!

8th grade formal

Really?!?! Is he that old to be off to his first dance?? I know people say times flies--but it really really does!!
Quintin went to his first formal last weekend, he had a date (and I wanted pics but he disappeared--brat)

The funniest thing...as we were leaving the neighbor kiddos go "Quintin what are you wearing" hahah then went and told their mama that Quintin was going to go get married--hahahah I laughed so hard--I love the things kids say!!!

Um hello spr-inter

So it is mid April--we have had our shorts and flip flops out (all winter gear put away) and now this WHAT??!!
Poor fruit trees too :(

Yum sprinkles

We cheated the other day and got some donuts--the girls wanted sprinkles!!

Sing it

The kid has got talent and loves the stage!!

Busy?? nah

Spring is here for sure (whether the weather knows it or not) Baseball starts tomorrow and is in full swing--2-3 games a week, end of the year concerts are this week and next, B will graduate from KOK (tear), this week is the busiest I think with Q & Z having activities at the same time--ugh
I have decided we will be eating alot of sandwiches ! No fast food while we are on the go, and I am tired of making dinner and NO ONE eats the leftovers so I throw so much food away--so sandwiches it it for awhile--it's ok bologna and cheese is better than McDonalds for sure (since I have been eating better the fast food makes me ill)
Wish us luck--on the go we will be!!!

Peepee in the potty

We have been working on this for a few days now and it is going rather well (better than expected)
Kyndal is telling us now when she needs to go (before she goes) YAY and this morning she pooped in the potty (but then thought it was a snake--yeah thank goodness she didnt touch it hahah)
So I know we have many weeks of accidents ahead of us, but if it keeps going this good we may be diaper free really really soon--woohoo!!!

That's a bad word

So we are in the car at a stop light, the guy next to me is in some kind of hurry and keeps inching forward at the red light so I go
M-in a hurry stupid asshole??
about 10 seconds later
B-Mom, asshole is a bad word, we can not say asshole
M-oh it is I am so sorry
B-mom you can't call that gold truck or anyone an asshole it is not nice, asshole is a bad word
M-I know I am sorry
B-stupid is a bad word too just like asshole
M-yes I know NOW you need to stop saying those words too

(yes I was laughing so hard) *note to self no more yelling at dumb drivers (haha)

Jammin

I got a whole bunch of strawberries...what does that mean??? Strawberry peach jam!!! Love love thus stuff even though it is not on the food plan ugh oh well one won't matter right?!?! Lol

Accident prone???

WHAT are we going to do with this child??? He has been our accident baby for sure, already this season-scraped up knees (both of them not just one) and now brusied gums and loosed teeth

So last night I was showing off my awesome ninja moves (hush they are awesome) when Aydan stands up to show me his.  He kicks, twirls, and BAM straight up slams his face into the floor (I still have no idea "how" this happened) I was for sure he broke his nose, blood everywhere--we got his setteled and see it is his gums and teeth ugh off to the dentist today to see if they are broken and need to be pulled--FUN times in the Hyrup house!

Now the good mom in me seriously started laughing (after I knew he was ok) I keep replaying his "moves" in my head--WHAT was he doing?? he never put his hands out to stop his face from smashing into the ground--it happened so fast but man oh man besides his being hurt and stuff it was hilarious!!!

Dumb Virus

I do not know what it is (I don't think anyone does--including the professionals) But Poor Kyndal has been going back and forth with this fever for a week now! She is fine one second and not the next, I sure hope it goes away soon!!!

Grandpas pond

We love hanging out around grandpas pond...waterfalls and swimming fishes....it means spring is here!!!

Redneck wine

Grandma and I enjoyed a glass of wine.....when she goes "You know how you know when a redneck is drinking wine" and I go "how" as she is laughs "she puts ice cubes in it"  then I look down at my glass of wine chilling with ice cubes.....well played grandma, well played!!! hahahha


My wine has to be cold cold cold....if not yes I put ice cubes in it

Sunset

There is no better place to watch a sunset then on the beach!!

They can drive!!

In LEGOLAND you can get your LEGOLAND drivers license....YIKES!!

Aydan and Quintin driving

a full size van made of legos
