Holy MOTHER!!!!!! I always tell Abby that there are some things I just can't do because I'm not a mom...{TOTALLY TRUE!!!!} So with Chad and Caskie moving back into town, I thought it would be fun to have a spend the night. So with the 4 oldest grandkids in their swimsuits we walked to the swimming pool. [It really wasn't that warm of a day and there was a pretty good little breeze...ughhh...but they really wanted to so I figured 'What the heck!] Well Camden and Kaja were freezing and laying on the slightly warm cement to get their bodies to stop shaking. I decided that it was probably time to go. As we were getting to the gate, Abby dropped Jo-jo off so her and her hubby could go on a date. So off we went...actually we didn't get very far because there is this amazing contraption right outside the swimming pool and there have been scientific studies that kids CANNOT walk past it without playing on this plastic. After going down the slides and playing on the monkey bars we raced down the grass hills till we finally ran into a palm tree branch...well we didn't actually run into it but Darby found it and wanted to take it to 'the fort'. The 4 older kids went out to the dirt field to find a table and chairs while I made beans-n-weenies, cut up mangos, and juice. While trying to take dinner out the the fort and spilled beans-n-weenies all over my foot and burned it, bent my fingernail, bumped my head, and had to change a diaper....geeze life of a mom is ROUGH!!! But dinner out at the fort was wonderful! If you dropped a bean...oh well! Clean up was pretty easy and so in we went! Jo-jo, Kaja, and Darby took a bath in the girl's bathroom while Camden and Emery took a shower in Abby and Shane's shower. I popped popcorn, threw my keys in the big garbage outside and had to climb on in to get them out, cleaned up the house, popped popcorn, and cut up some apples. I went upstairs to get everyone out and there's noone in the bathtub!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come to find out they're ALL in the shower! What a mess.....we finally got everything all cleaned up and now we are just relaxing watching a cute little movie. What a lovely evening :-)

I could never have 5 kids I don't think. I would be the crazy lady that everyone wants to peep on to see how her life really is. My house would be a wreck and if my kids asked me if laundry was done I'd just have to say,"Do it yourself!" And beans-n-weenies???? What kind of meal is that? Healthy?? I think not!!!!! I see popcorn as a main food group. Getting baths everynight would be a hit or miss.....sorry kids.

I guess I'm just not a mom.

OH BOY!! It seems like time is just flying by! {If this keeps up, I'm going to be an old maid before I'm ready!!}

1.) Chad, Caskie & and Kids moved back
-I love cuddling with Kaja Mae
-I love Camden and his curious mind. [he has asked me questions I have never even thought about]
-Little Ryker man is so handsome and and is always giggling. (when I left today with Kaja he cried. I don't know if it was for me or if he was just sad his brother and sister were gone. {I'm just going to say it was because of me.})
-Chad is such a go-getter. He helped Blake out so much with the house in just a few days.
-Caskie got her house all organized and homey in a matter of hours. (that's what it seemed like to me anyway.) And now she's showed me a few little projects she's working on. I love that she sees something she likes and then tries to do it.

2.) Blake & April moved into their home-sweet-home!!! Their new and improved house is AMAZING! It fits them and I can't wait to see what April will do with it! I went and spent some time with them the other night and it was good. Just like the good ole days but then I had a 30 minute drive home instead of a walk up the stairs "-(

3.) Baby Kelepolo #2 made his awesome debut on April 16th!! I have been able to watch both of my sisters have all their babies and I wasn't about to miss this one so I made a quick little trip and watched Brody Kekoa Kelepolo turn and come on out!! He's a handsome little booger!!!!

4.) Work--enough said....

5.) Church....and all that goes with that right now....

6.) Trying to make everyone happy :-) I guess you could say I'm obsessed!!! I just want to be the BEST AUNT EVER!!! It's alot harder than I thought it would be but I love it! I'm having a hard time balancing out who to have when and drive time and activities and....okay enough with the excuses....BUT I LOVE IT!!! My neices and nephews are the best!!!! [no competition] I have also really enjoyed spending time with my brothers and sisters! They're all so amazing and teach me tons!

7.) I'm also doing school work. Right now my favorite class is PSY. I know I know....kind of surprising but my teacher is awesome and actually makes it interesting! it may be just because he's a funny guy and he's entertaining to watch....

8.) Last but not least....SLEEP!!!! Going to the gym at 5:30 am has been a little rough. {getting up at 5:00 to get there isn't bad, it's the waking up and 2:15 ready to go....then 2:45.....then I just give up and do homework or watch a movie.}

Simple...that's my life wrapped up in 8 easy step :-) anyone want to trade and I'll simplify your life? I'd prefer to trade with someone who has a degree, steady job...you know, something like that.

Today is little Emmy's birthday! YAY!!! She's 5 so that means Build-a-Bear with Grandma Kimmy! So Grandma made a quick trip to take Camden and Emery to get their stuffed animals. I think she's crazy! So most of us met up for lunch at Paradise Bakery. Yum Yum!

I went and picked up Kaja Mae and took her to work with me for a little while. She had a good time shredding paper for me! What a good little helper!!! As I was driving over to eat lunch I was thinking how annoying car seats are!! If I ever want to take any of the kids I have to take 10 minutes to get the stinking little chairs and then 10 minutes after we're done to put them back in the other car! I was thinking why don't they just make cars that already have kid seat belts in them??? I'm a genius!!! I looked over and saw this lady eating some kind of hamburger thingy, talking on the phone and looking in the mirror....all while driving!!! That's when I thought, "Why don't they just make safe drivers and then noone would have to wear these crazy seat belts!?!??"

Well, sorry for the incredibly long and boring post but I...well...that's just me lately haha things will perk up eventually :-) Until then.....a bientot!!!!!! [it's french]

4 and 20 black birds baked in a pie.....

OR

1 and then another black bird falling from the sky.....

The other day was a BEAUTIFUL day and I got off work before 6:00 at night so I figured I was going to go outside and ENJOY!!!! The garden needed some help so I put on my tank top, some shorts and my sweet sunglasses to catch some rays while cleaning up. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!!! After I worked for a while I decided to swing on the swing. {Oh man it was fun!} You know when you're swinging and you're to the highest point and you look out and you feel like you can see everything?? [and it's from such a different perspective] I looked to the left and there was the garden; green with rows of dark and light dirt and a blossoming huge sunflower in the corner. Out in front of me was Sampson, waiting for me to get off the swing so I could play with him. The nice white house in the background with a cute little bench to accent just how magazine-ish it was. (if I took a picture of it right then, it could have been put in a magazine.) Off to my right, a cute little playground, red, blue, and yellow. Green, green, green everywhere!!! An awesomely huge tree that cast a colossal shadow. It was just wonderful!!! There was Sampson's ball, there's my phone, and there's...a crow??????? Yes my friends, a CROW was laying in our backyard. Honestly I've never seen a bird lay down so I thought this crow must be something pretty special!!! {LUCKY ME!!!!} Well, I'm sad to say that this rare black bird was not sleeping.

This morning April texted me asking me about this sad bird. "Yes, last time I saw the bird, it was in the back yard. DEAD AS A DOORNAIL." Well the birds last dying 'caws' must have been beautiful because another bird also chose our yard to spend it's last breaths.

Is it because our grass is so soft?

Is our air dirtier so as the fly by, they just die???

Did they decide our lawn was a central location for a burial ground??

MY OPINION?????

Our worms are rotten.

TGIF!!!

I LOVE FRIDAYS!!!! For one I only have to work at one place usually and it's for 3 hours max...then I get to do whatever I want (even though lately I've just been...working :-/) BUT I STILL LOVE 'EM!!!!!!! For example, today I woke up [after sleeping in til 6...YAY!] Abby and I went and worked out and then I got to slowly get ready for the day, until mom said,"You'll be ready in 10 minutes right?" {I was in my pjs, hair still wet, no make-up on} We went and watched "ALIENS VS MONSTERS or MONSTERS VS ALIENS in 3-D!!!! The girls were a crack up to watch and my mom kept on pulling on my arm so I could see what Emery was doing! She kept saying "It's like it's not on the screen!" THEN I finally went to work at LFG....it was 11.45 :-) I enjoyed a little hour meeting, did some scanning, made a spread sheet, and wrote some checks. And Cami found a little butterfly outside...it was hurt! So she brought it inside and it's new home was in the back office with me!!!! [I just found out that she released our friend Margie....] I went home because I've spent the night at Abby's the past two nights and I was running out of clothes!!!!!!!!!!! I had a couple of hours before I was to go to Jack's house so I did homework while laying outside....man what a life!!!! Tonight I got to spend some time with Jack, just me and him. "I like you Allee." "I like you too Jack!!!!" He was super tired but I didn't want him to go to bed because he was being so cute....but I guess I didn't want to make him miserable. And NOW I'm just watching Phineous and Ferb while listening to the hum of the baby monitor in the back ground. I HAVE THE LIFE!!!!!! I get to go hang out with some of my family tonight and then I get to spend all day with them tomorrow!!! I HAVE A FULL SATURDAY OFF TOMORROW!!!!!!! {no going to someone's house for the evening or anything 'crazy' like that!} YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only do I not have to work but I get to spend all day in dirty jeans and a t-shirt with my hair pulled back into a pony tail...not even a pretty one, just a ponytail! We're going to be over at Blake and April's new house, well it's going to be new when they put back together all the old stuff we've torn out. It's amazing what a little work will do!

And something else that I've loved this week...hard work. Abby and I have been going to the gym and it feels so good to sweat and feel it through the day! But my ulitmate of ulitmates is on Thursday my mom and I went to B&A's house and we worked HARD! We did alot. My jeans were nasty and my shirt was dirty too. And not dirty because I dropped dinner from last night on it either, dirty from physical labor! I got a blister and some scratches (it sounds bad but they hurt really bad! Not REALLY REALLY bad just bad enough to be annoying but it reminds me that I still am capable of doing physical work!) and my hands were even sore from holding onto a hammer so hard. ANYWAY, it's just been a good reminder to me that life isn't all about the type of jobs we have or even how much we make doing our jobs, it's about the things that make us feel accomplished and worth-while. AND it's just fun to see just exactly what my body can do!!! [even in it's not so fit form :-/]

So this week has been GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not bragging but sometimes some weeks are just, well, wonderful!!!!!!!!

BL PSRS

OH BOY!!!!!!!!!! Abby and I signed up at SNAP FITNESS yesterday!!! GO US! A couple of nights ago we went and checked it out and this black guy showed us around. (I'm not racist, black people just have different attitudes that Native Americans or Whites. I'm just describing the man.) So last night we filled out all this information, got our member card things, and the lady showed us how to open the doors. We thought we were done for the night but little did we know, Larry (for the sake of the story), had a different idea. He weighed us, checked our body fat percentage {ugh to both of those} and then walked us to the wall covered in a MIRROR! This is where he proceeded to measure our biceps, boo-boo area (I'm just glad I forgot to put on a sports bra otherwise my belly measurement would have been the same as my bee-bites!!!!!!), hips, calves, and thighs. It was humiliating to say the least! When he measured my booty he said,"Dang girl you got a big BOOTY!!!" You know it's bad when a BLACK guy tells you that!!!!! I've got ALOT of work to do! He said since I've gained so much weight so quickly that it's not going to come off too easy...I'm totally going to prove him wrong! So here goes no more sugary, enjoyable stuff and hello to salad, fruit, and vegetables, oh and 5:00 am wake up calls to get to the GYM!!!!!!! I'm so pumped but I'm sure that will wear off by oh tomorrow morning at 5:15 as I'm driving to work out! I'm ready though! YAHOO!!!! Thanks for pushing me Abby! I can't wait to see how HOTT we're going to look!!! Oh and uhhhh how healthy we'll be :-)

SO today on [facebook] I took a quiz-thingy-majig. "What is your REAL age?" I WAS 8!!!!! Ya know, being young is great! BUT 8???!! That's a little too young....I was hoping for a 15 or 16 maybe...or a 20...there's NOTHING wrong with that age. BUT 8? Is facebook trying to tell me something?? That means for every 2.5 years, I aged 1 year. Maybe I'll keep up the average and when I'm 60 my REAL age will be 24! MY GRANDKIDS WILL LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that's what I have to look forward to, {never growing old}.

Think about this, "What do you have to look forward to?"
