I Feel Pretty....Oh So Pretty

Can you guess what musical the title of this post comes from? No fair guessing Leslie....you know all musical stuff! So why the change of tune from yesterdays blah post. My hair silly. My new "Sedu" hair staightner finally came in the mail today. My "Chi" broke a few days after Christmas. It has been very sad hair days since then. But not today(well this afternoon). After my houseguests left(boy were they a handful) I went right to the bathroom and plugged that sucker in. Within moments my hair looked fabulous! I am not normally a hair/makeup kinda gal(as you all clearly see) but darn I do love my hair straightner. And since I bought a "Chi" a few years ago at Christmastime for my niece.....I knew I needed one for myself. I used hers until Christmas morning when I needed to wrap it up and give it as a present. It was only slightly used and I did confess to her. Never will I buy a cheap straightner again. Only the best for my hair baby(and sanity).


On a side note....what the heck have you done to your children Karlise. They are petrified of dogs. I know you own dogs. Poor Ian was in tears everytime Alex looked at him. Forget about Gypsy and Dash. I swear he thought Alex was going to eat him or something. Strange isn't it? Love ya girly!

Reprise

Thanks for the comments guys you all listen(read)so well. I wasn't fishing for compliments but I will take them. My sis on the other hand thinks I am a wuss and should stop moaning. She called me tonight......"WAH" to me she thinks! Thanks Les....I needed that as well. Reality check from my big sis.....who could ask for anything more!

Self Loathing

Fun with Friends....Lucky Day

Evan and Trey(along with mommy) went to MOSI today with friends. They are lucky to have passes and we are lucky to be their friends. Another very lucky thing was John had the day off of work so he watched Zane and our friends child of the same age at home. It was an enjoyable afternoon with the boys. We watched the IMAX movie...Deep Sea. It was awesome and the boys are still telling daddy about the movie. Friends are great things to have...I highly recommend you all getting one. Especially one with perks. Love ya!

Happy New Year

John had the day off so we went to Sea World for the last time of 2007. And probably the last time for a while since our fun passes expired. We did not stay until midnight. The kids were never going to make it and quite honestly mom and dad were tired. We left around 6:30pm and headed to a restaurant for dinner. The kids got to say goodbye to all the animals. The Polar Express Santa was in the artic for one last Christmas photo. The polar bear was awake and the walruses(sp?) were playful with a ball. All in all a nice day at Sea World! The kids were home and in bed by 10pm. Mommy and daddy were asleep before 2008 rang in. We are so exciting in this house I just can't stand it. You all should be so lucky as we are.

So you may be asking by now....what passes does the Hydock clan plan to have for 2008. Well let me just tell you....DISNEY baby!!!! John and I have been deliberating this for a while and decided it is the time. The Guzman clan(Karlise particularly)was in full agreement from the moment we deliberated. Evan and Trey are ready and well Zane....he will just be along for the ride. What a great ride for him....we should all be so lucky. Disney passes are not cheap as many of you know. That man Disney is one smart fella. We have a few more dollars to save before we can get the year long passes(maybe in March). So I plan to blog alot about our Disney experiences. Be ready everyone.

Contest

Many women in my moms group blog. Check them out...they are posted under "Blogs I Read". Well some crazy mom in the group came up with an idea of who could blog the most. We are competitive women so a contest was created. The rules....put in $5 and blog everyday. If you forget to blog then you are out. Whoever is still blogging at the end of the month wins the pot. I fully intednd to be this winning person!!!!!!
If there is a tie then the blogging keeps going until someone wins. Now my main idea for starting this blog was to keep family and friends posted on the happenings in the "Hydock Life". I plan to stick to this theme throught the blogging contest. You all just get much more of the "Hydock Life" then you bargained for. Keep reading because as the month wains I may need topics to post about and you may just see yourself on the blog. Everyone in the family(friends included) is fair game.

Christmas

We had a good day. Santa and family were kind to the boys this year. The last few days have been a whirlwind of activity. We are just now trying to sort through everything. The boys got a PS3(thanks to John and Susan). Trey got a fish and tank and a squawker bird. Evan got skates. Zane got many fun shoes and socks along with a SmartCycle. Mommy got her ModPink Vera purse. And daddy got tons of cologne along with the Legends Guitar game for PS3.
We had a little fun with Haley on Christmas day. She really wanted a new phone. So hubby decided to buy her a fake plastic phone and surprise her. We gave it to her as the last gift. She was not amused but the whole family thought it was funny. It really was funny.....trust me on this! Teasing her about the phone was so easy all day. She was really really mad by dinner for not getting her phone. After teasing her all day the "real" phone was given to her by her mother. It was ringing in her purse. Funny how that ended up in there. She looks really happy in the last picture doesn't she.....new phone and all. I just love Christmas!!
