The Big Mo

We went to the Big Mo to see Up and Night at the Museum 2. Amy's been on this "Thumbs Up" thing lately. So, let's see how the kids rate the trip:

An hour and a half in a little van with my 3 crazy sisters?

THUMBS DOWN!

A little extra caffeine to keep us up until 1:00 (AM)?

THUMBS UP!

Daddy says no rides!

THUMBS DOWN!

Playing Connect Four with yourself--you can't lose!

THUMBS UP!

Front Center Parking Spot

THUMBS UP!

Excuses

What has kept the Hood's so busy that they've been virtually blogless for the past 2 months? Let's see . . .

It all started when Joseph was sent on a week-long business trip to Las Vegas . . .

Red Rocks Canyon, NV

. . . Where he learned about fancy engineering things and had to go to Red Rocks all by himself because all his engineering friends were too busy trying to get rich quick.

Anyway, with Joseph gone for a week, Tammy was left to fend for herself against the heathens . . .

. . . And then Joseph was sent to New York for week . . .

China Town, NYC

. . . Where he learned about fancy engineering things and ate chinese food in china town, which coincidentally tastes a lot like chinese food in South Carolina.

Anyway, again, this left Tammy alone all week with the demolition crew . . .

And then Joseph was sent to Chattanooga for a week. (A pattern has emerged) . . .

Lover's Leap at Rock City, Chattanooga

. . . And, because Tammy couldn't stand being left alone for another week with the infidels, we packed 'em up and made the Chattanooga trip a family vacation . . .sortof.

After all this traveling hither and yon, we had a lot of work to do with the adoption . . .

Daddy Instilling Musical Genius with "Popcorn Popping . . ."

Tammy and "Sissa"

. . . And just when we thought life was back to normal and we could go back to our old blogging ways, the washing machine broke. More specifically, "there was an arching fault in the main relay on the motor inverter circuit." Unfortunately, the 1 year warranty was up a week ago . . .

The Late Washing Machine Motor

~ 2007-2008 ~

What you have just read is our post created directly after the washing machine was fixed the the backlog of clothes finally began to get washed. We are now out of excuses and excited about sharing our adventures again on Life is Hood.

"She's been sighted, she's been sighted!"

We have received several anonymous tips from people who believe they may have seen Tammy Hood.



This photo, believed to be of Tammy, was taken on Y mountain in Provo, UT. This corroborates reports that she is staying with her sister, who resides in the area.



This photo of a woman on a moped, submitted anonymously, was analyzed by our experts who have confirmed that the moped is registered to Tammy's Sister, Maria Torres. The person riding the moped is a partial facial match for Tammy.

Our photo expert team has also confirmed that Tammy "looks like a dork" in the photo.

This is a photo believed to be of Tammy at the Phoenix airport, another hideout she is thought to have used. She reportedly stayed there for a total of 20 hours between March 9th-10th. To avoid suspicion, she would claim that her "fight was canceled."

Because of your help, and the expertise of our photo analysis team, Tammy has been found! After much persuasion, she has agreed to answer her husband's emotional plea to come home. We have since learned that Tammy has made it home safely, and is helping her husband recover from his battle with scurvy as well as thanking him for being such a good sport during her absence.

Have you seen this woman?

If you have any information about the whereabouts of this woman, please contact the authorities immediately. She was last seen fleeing from her family at an airport near Charlotte, NC. She may have boarded a plane. She reportedly left a sink full of dishes and several large loads of laundry undone. The latest information suggests that she may be staying with a relative somewhere in the western U.S.

Her husband has made an emotional plea for her prompt return. He is apparently not sleeping well and is having to change "lots of stinky diapers." He is also suffering from scurvy caused by his diet of cereal and hot pockets.
