LMAO. At my hubs expense. Seriously.
We were on our way home from lunch today when Trav gets a phone call. He was talking to this person, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out who he was talking too. Finally he makes a remark about a movie and I hear a "Yeah Man, that'd be cool". So I deduced that he had been invited to a movie. Still not sure with who though. He says that he needs to talk to me, then hangs up.
He says to me, "That was David, he wants to know if I want to go see Transformers with him!"
Me: "Wow Trav! Got a little Bromance going on?"
Trav: "Shut up Stace."
He calls David back and they set up a time and who's driving.
1:45 and David will drive.
1:45 on the DOT Trav stands up, gets his shoes on and STANDS BY THE DOOR. Seriously. He stands by the freaking door.
Me: "Waiting for your date to pick you up dude?"
Trav: (wearing a sheepish smile)"I just don't want him to have to get out of his car to come to the door."
Me: "Ok, whatever you say."
Finally David shows up at 2:00, and Trav literally runs out the door.
I guess my man was a teensy bit excited for some "guy" time. What do you think?

Lazy day
Hey. Wuhs up. Nothin here. Literally. Nothing. Today has been a supreemly lazy day. I can't decide if I like it or not. I have so much to get done, that on one hand I am mad at my self for getting nothing done. One the other hand however, is the feeling of peace knowing I had a day to do nothing before the busy two weeks ahead.
I didn't even want to blog. No big surprise there. My blog has been banished to the back of the bus lately. Which is fine. I mean, HELLO, I have 9 readers. (Thank you all 9 of you by the way. I truly appriciate each and every one of you.)
Anyways.
Thats all.
Sincerly,
Still Being Lazy

The (not so) scenic route
I love my hub. I really do. He is a great man who does so much for our family. Big and small. I can name so many small things that he does that just makes him wonderful as well as my life easier. Like changing the television channel to channel 2 before he shuts off the TV at night because he knows I like to watch KATU news while getting ready for work. Or like how he always makes my coffee and lunch in the morning so I don't have to. Or how he almost always does the dishes every night after dinner because he knows how much I don't like to. Among MANY other things.
BUT. And this is a pretty loaded BUT. He likes to take the "Scenic Route". You know, the route that in all my past experiences takes 2X as long as the normal route. Enter big sigh here.
This weekend we were able to go to Warrenton/Seaside for a great weekend away to visit some pretty great friends, the Wilkins. It was a really fun time and we didn't really want to head home but we kinda had to. Right before we left, Trav says to me:
Trav: "Stace, I think I am going to take us home through Tillamook, through Hebo and off Bible Creek right in to Willamina"
Me: "Really Trav? I don't really want to do that. It's really windey and bumpy isn't it? I would much rather take 26 through Banks/Forest Grove/McMinnville."
Trav: "No, its not that bad, I promise! I am pretty sure that's the way we are going to go home."
Me: "No, really Trav, I really really would rather go the way we came. I think it will take us a lot longer to get home that way, and I would rather just get home a quick as we can."
Trav: "It won't take us longer, I bet we will get home in just about the same amount of time.:
Me: "Traaaav,(note, whiny voice) I really really really don't want to go that way."
Trav: " Staaaaace (note, mocking whiny voice), I really really think we are going home that way, don't worry about it."
Me: "Fine. Seriously though, if it takes longer then the normal route, you are going to have to deal with me."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now all loaded up in the van, and headed on our way home. Through Tillamook. And we turn off at Blaine. And we drive. And drive. And drive. On really bumpy, windey roads. And we drive.
About 3 hours into the trip home. Yes. 3 hours. (My way would have taken 2. Just 2) We drive upon a big body of water. This is different then the Nestucca River we have been following the whole way. It kinda looks like a, huh? LAKE?
Me: "Um, Trav? I didn't know there was a lake up here by Willamina."
Trav: wearing his oh shit face. "Uh, there isn't"
Out comes the map.
Me: "It looks to me TRAVIS, that we are all the way over here. On our way to YAMHILL. On Meadowlake Rd."
Trav takes the map.
Trav turns the van around.
Me: "Seriously Travis, where are we going now?"
Trav: "We need to find the road to Bible Creek. It looks to me like its 6 miles back, then 26 miles down that to Willamina."
Me: SILENT
Maddy: "Mommy! I don't feel good."
Me: "Sorry sweetie, you are feeling car sick, just go to sleep, that'll help"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 min later.
We finally get back to the point where Bible Creek road is. We turn off on to it. We aren't but 5 min down Bible Creek when I hear it. The noise no parent likes to hear EVER, let alone your vehicle. A puking kid.
Trav pulls over, I hop out of the van (Have I mentioned yet that the rain was coming down in buckets? And had been the entire time?) and I grab an empty cup that was in arms reach and hold it for Maddy to be sick in. All while standing in the rain. While Trav sits in the drivers seat feeling sorry for himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maddy is cleaned up with baby wipes. We are back on our way down this wonderful scenic route, when I look behind me and guess who has wriggled out of her car seat? Oh yes, Peyton! Yay! She has learned how to crawl out of her 5 point harness! What's next kid? Top story work?
I unbuckle and turn around in my seat to buckle the kid back in.
She does it again.
Its now become a game.
Oh joy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally after 4.25 hours on the road, we pull into Sheridan. Van running on fumes and smelling like puke.
Thanks for the memories Trav. Now don't ever take us on the Scenic Route again. Love you. Stace

Fourth of July Fun
The 4th of July. Independence Day. Also known as my hubs FAVORITE holiday. He loves every bit of it. The over priced fireworks, the BBQ's, the desserts. Did I mention the OVER PRICED fireworks? Seriously. He might have even traveled a bit north to buy some too. Maybe.
We were invited to two different events that day, and of course, we went to both. We started out at our friends/small group leaders/pastors house for a little swimming, boccie, and bbq. Good BBQ. Really good. My friend Rachel might just make the best corn salad EVER. Oh, and the home made Ice Cream. With fresh strawberries. Heaven.On.Earth.
The second event was at my in-laws house. Where we lit off all those over priced fireworks. From up north. Sadly, we really couldn't enjoy the fireworks all that much because my "nephew" Bruce the dog, got really spooked by them and TOOK OFF. Like, really really took off. So the entire night my bro Austin was searching for his dog. Trav went out for a good 2 hours before finally returning to light the rest off. Luckily Bruceters found his way home around 2:00 am. So all turned out well.
And finally, here is a GORGEOUS picture of my 3 beauties. I might be biased, but I am pretty sure you will agree with me here. As well as a picture from a year ago to show how much they have grown since the 4th last year.
See, told ya they are stunners.

A day at the beach
I took my girls to the beach today. Alone. Wow, was that more work then I thought it was going to be! We went onto the beach for a while, then we went to the outlet mall, where Miss Maddy got her ears pierced!
Then, we went to Mo's for lunch. Even though I packed us one. Oh well. After Mo's we went back down on the beach at Taft's and played for a while. It was so windy too. Like, uncomfortably windy. So windy that the sand hurt when hit bare skin. But other then that it was a beautiful clear day.
So, if you are still with me after the great photo share of 2009, have a FANTASTIC 4th of July!
