Hope all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Mom & Dad always set out one big present that is your "Santa" present unwrappped. So we go upstairs and I see MP3 players for the big kids and a bunch of Darth Vader masks for the little guys!!! Freak outy fun! Then I catch sight of another present labeled "everyone!" XBOX GAMES!!! Whoo hah! I did notice the laptop computer sitting on the piano bench but the screen saver that said "for all the T kids" hadn't come up yet. BIG WOW when we found out!!! My first present was some pajamies from MomNDad. The soft kind! One time I got these pajamies that were so scratchy I gave em to Yenal......Then she and Ronaldo brought up a pink fuzzy whaddaretheycalled...the little circle kind....mind blank.....oh well.....chair. And lemme tell ya what that is a SWEET CHAIR!!! I can sit in it and read and not feel like I need to move to the bed!!! And On with the rest of the presents.....Lu gave me fuzzy purple socks and some charms, J-dude got me a wood M that he painted, Yenal gave me one star wars book of a trilogy - the last one! Haha! We set it right though, I get the other two for my b-day. Movin right along.....MomNDad gave me BOOOOOOKS!!! Beeeyoootiful Books! I have had no books for the LONGEST TIME!!!!!!!! I got like 4 Louisa My Alcott books: Little Men, Eight cousins, Rose in Bloom, and I think there's another one I can't remember. And I got ERAGON. Started Star wars, Little Men, and Eragon. All strike me as pretty good if not awsome. (Bekah, read ERAGON so we can debate about it!:P)That reading was done while listening to a new PRIDE & PREJUDICE soundtrack. Funfunfun!

We had just gotten back from an awsome time in TX to visit Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle S, Aunt MD, and 3 FuhReeky, amazingly fun cousins. A just awsome holiday time!

Cool New Stuff!

Greetings One and Everyone!!!

Dad put the trim in our bathroom on and he's working on the door so it'll acually shut all the way!!! Way Cool!!! On topa that, the delivery guy came and put in our brand new WHIRLPOOL washer & Dryer! Coowool! And they're frontloaders so we can watch it wash and dry and all! The first load was a big show. We've got a picture I don't think it's on here yet. Lets see if we put the Texas pics on.....Nope. Will be soon though he's got the gallery all ready. Now that we're on the subject of new stuff and Texas, we came home with a computer!!! It was gonna be in our room but that didn't happen, and then it was gonna be in Ronaldo's room but that didn't happen, then Dad decided he liked it and he wanted it sooooooo....it's on the floor right behind me LOL:P

Been getting Christmas presents, hanging out, and listening to my new STAR WARS TRILOGY soundtracks.

Fun in Texas!

Hello all! Just got back yesterday from TX. Went to see Grandpa and Nana first and fed their catfish (Wild catfish too. They'd just come right up! Ya like to eat catfish? Go there. JK! Haha) and played with their horses and opened presents and talked and all that fun jazz! I think I ate enough food for everyone reading this!!:P:P:P:P Anyhow, then we drove over to Grandma and Pawpaw's place and watched him feed his horses and opened presents and talked and ate and took a lot of pictures and all THAT fun jazz! Got to watch the first PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN while I was there. ALL hilarious! Savvy? :P I think Mom wants the computer. So long yall!

Brian Littral

Well I typed this whole Awsome song out myself but it got cut off in the post or ..........something.

For just a moment
I wish I could have been there
To see Your first step, hear Your first word
Tell me, did You ever fall and scrape Your knee
Did You know Your wounds would one day heal the world?

For just one moment
I wish I could have seen You growing
Learning the ways of a carpenter�s son
Just a little boy gazing at the stars
Did You remember creating every one?

If You passed by, would I have seen a child or a King?
Would I have known?

Chorus:
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You face to face
Wish I could have been there
Just to see You, Jesus, face to face

For just a moment
I wish I could have been there
When You left Your footprints upon the waves
To walk along beside You and never look away
Just Your whisper and the wind and sea obey

To see You feed the people
To feel Your healing in Your touch

Chorus:

To hear You pray in the garden alone
Laying down Your will with each tear
To see You walk that lonely road
Willing to die for me
And in that moment
I know I should have been there
You took my cross and gave Your life

And You live again
Wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You rise again
Wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see You, Jesus, face to face
Someday I�ll be there, I�m gonna be there
I�ll see Your face, Your mercy, Your grace
Someday, someday
I�m gonna see You, Jesus
Face to face

GOD IS GOOD!

SNOW & Good Songs

SNOW
Like Mayfee said to Dad: "It NOWED outzide!!!!!" We got around a whole.... half-inch. But we had enough to freak out about and play in!!!:P Ronaldo and I teamed up against Laney and Laura to play some capture the flag AKA the water bottle and grill cleaner . We had a pretty good snowball-making factory going on on deck. Got to peg them girls lots of times!:P Joshua was the lookout and had some fun yelling, "CA-CAAAAAAA! They're coming!" when nessecary(sp). We won that. Used the leftover snowballs on each other. Ronaldo whisked LMT's hat clean off her head during THAT mess. It was pretty funny!

Good Songs
There's alot of good christian rock out there. Listening to Air 1 today (www.air1.com)
and here are some lines of some songs that made me think of God's awsomeness. Lets see...
There's that new Jeremy Camp song that has that cool part:"the only thing worth holding on to is holding onto me."
And the DELIROUS? song Inside, Outside that goes: "You're all over me, Your banner is over me. I give it all 'cause You still captivate me, facinate me."
Jimmy Needham: "I'm going your way even though I cannot see in front of me"
TobyMac: "I was made to love you.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. We found out yesterday that we're having another one of those cute-adorable little rascally thingys that make all kinds of different noises! Wooha! I kinda wanted a girl so baby Maljorie would have somebody to play with. I think she'll still have a lot of fun with this little guy! Please comment me and tell me some boy bible names you like. We don't know. We kinda like ELIJAH. But with the last name hooked on the end there it sort of sounds weird. I like Ethan. Ethan's neat. Sooooooo......Whaddayathink?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

Turkey's cooking and we've got cool pies. I'm hungry already.

Mom's either in the kitchen or watching food network and Dad, Grandpa, and Ronaldo are playing WORLD CUP SOCCER on the XBOX. Funfunfun!

Maljorie's Birthday

Yesterday Baby Girl turned 1! She's so cyuuuuuute! Didn't make too much of a mess with the cake though. Too bad. See the pics here: http://www.thetaggs.smugmug.com/gallery/2161908/1

Check out all the traditional eating shots and looking dumb shots! Make sure to go to the last page and look at the bubble bath pictures. So ADORABLE!!!:)

Let me think of some things she does:

She can clap her hands

She says "cracker" and various other things

She can sign some words

She crawls all over and pulls up on the coffee tables

She eats everything except eggs!

And she's funny all the time

A Weird Monday

Dad's off work for Thanksgiving week so we're off school for Thanksgiving week so Monday seems like Saturday! Whoopykieyiyiyea! Try to say that the way I spelled it!

Saturday we went camping at Devil's Den - kinda. We went for the day and didn't sleep out there. It was great! All the fun of camping and you can still sleep in your nice own bed!!! Went fishing and hiking and had a fire and roasted hot dogs and stuff. Took pictures of course! https://www.thetaggs.smugmug.com/gallery/2082216/5 Very cute pics! A lot of them are scenery and such.

Later we go to see FACING THE GIANTS with the Wingmen. I think it'll be pretty good! Grandparents are supposed to come 2day but they never come when you expect them and I doubt it'll be any different this time! Haha!

Bye!

Book Study Babysitting & Such

I guess I should post. Went to a book study at the Wingmen's house only the mom's did the book studying and big kids were babysitting the other kids. I was in charge w/ JA(I like being in charge:P) and we were divided into teams. LmT got one and JtW got one. My team was CIS, JA's team was EMPIRE, LmT's was LAZERS, and JtW's was CSI *funny stuff* We were gonna go to Emy-Nemys's house today but couldn't. Shoot! We house-cleaned instead.Had a piano recital after that. It was kinda fun till afterward. Before I played I was kinda nervous and After I was mad. I didn't mess up so anyone could really hear it,but it was NOT what I expect of myself.
How's the Holidays for ya'll? Fine here! Grandma & Grandpa T are coming Monday for Thanksgiving. Doing pretty good on the Christmas shopping. I need a present for Ronaldo, Lulu, Dad and Malgorie and I know what I'm gonna get Mom, Lane, Britter, Bekah, Cole, and Emy-Nemys. I have everyone else's. Can't wait till CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm almost ready for Thanksgiving to be done and out of the ways so we can clear the road for Christmas!!! (Almost) Thanksgiving will be fun I hope cousins can come. Who's doing BLACK FRIDAY? Dad acually thought about it but it turned out he wasn't gonna. He's gonna scavenge the left-overs though! I can't decide what I'm MOST thankful 4 this year. Any Idea's?

God Bless! Comment Me!

Stuff I've Done & Stuff I Haven't Done

Stuff I've Done:

1 We went to Tulsa a couple weeks ago and lost ourselves a soccer tournament.

2 Dad and Ronaldo went to Memphis last weekend to lose ourselves ANOTHER tournament.

3 I didn't go to Memphis I went to Chris's wedding. Beautiful and awsome!

4 Wrote myself a pitiful lament poem about our stinky soccer team. It's really a sad thing. But we shall rise from the depths of defeat to the......uh......heights of happiness because we'll win!:P (That gives you an idea of how pathetic the lament is!:P)

5 Wrote myself a review on OVER THE HEDGE. Good Show! Rated it AA (Awsome for All)



Stuff I Haven't Done:

1 Mom's bringing home CARS

2 We're doing pictures for somebody tomorrow and I go to Dad's work at 3:45pm to help and before that I'm going to edit pictures and watch a movie with Bekah.

Have a nice day!

Hello!

Well now I OFFICIALLY have NO BRACES!!!!!!!!! My retainer came in and I think I'm already getting used to having it in! At first I couldn't stand it. You can't really see it in my mouth (Which is sometimes inconvienent because all my sibs wanna "see it"). Earlier Jman tried to reach in my mouth and take it out!

On JDs birthday he got a card from our neighbors with $5 in it. Big FUN! He didn't wanna put it in his bank right away and carried it around in his pocket. A little later Jman and JD come in each holding half of a 5 dollar bill. "Look Mom! We SHARED it!" LOL! Hahahahaha! So cute! We mean to tape it but I think it's still on the kitchen island. I don't wanna tape it it's too cute! We should maybe put it in JD's scrapbook.

I did end up winning the LORD OF THE RINGS TRIVIA game. JA challenged me to a rematch and I said OK. I think he was pretty upset...

God Bless!
MeGgY T

JD IS 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a big boy huh? We opened presents this morning so he could play with them all day. He got some guns that shoot those foam missle thingys, Lu got him one o dem basketball goals that hangs on your door, Mom n Dad got him a SPIDERMAN bike helmet, Joshua got him a soccer game (which I will get into in a minute), and I got him a SCOOBY DOO MEETS BATMAN movie. He's been watching it all morning. We had Donuts for breakfast. Amazinain'tit? (That's also Ronaldo's BATTLEFRONT 2 name. He was going for WEDGE ANTELLIES but....) OK about that soccer game. Jman got it at TYS R US yesterday with his own $6-and then some!:P It was the first thing he ever bought with his own money. It's a game where there is a big guy. You push his head to make his foot move to kick the ball. You spin the spinner to find out where you kick it from. The other player tries to use the goalie to block you from kicking a goal. and then you take turns that way. Anyway..........RONALDO LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so funny. I played it with him this morning and we tied. He's playing it right now. I told him I shoulda gotten it for him for his birthday and he said, "YEAH!"

I french-braided my hair today. About to edit some pics I took yesterday at the OZARK CUP. Express has held that cup for two years now and we just got bumped down by a lesser team. Dissapointing. Some tears on the team. We'll do better. See ya Peoples!

To Win or Not to Win?

That is the question. JA WingMan and I have been planning to stomp each other at LORD OF THE RINGS DVD TRIVIA for like months. Today is the Day. Today is the Day that holds my destiny in the palm of its hand. Today is the Day in which two talented freaks face each other. Today is the Day I really hope the DVD player works. Today is the Day that decides if the WingMan is better than I. Today is the Day...All right all right all right. Maybe not all that stuff. Well I'll tell you if I win! Meggy T

praise the LOOOOOORD! praise the LOOOOOORD!

MY BRACES ARE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHOOPEE!!!!!!!! Well, all except for the top 4. They come off next week!!! I picked a pink retainer! Gums are a little swollen. FunFunFun! I'm going to have all the stuff I couldn't eat before in a party. Tell me if you have any good ideas. See you people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's Embarrasing to come to Your Senses and find You Haven't Got Any."

What's your favorite quote? They were talking about it on Air 1 yesterday. (http://www.air1.com) Comment me!

We've had revival at our church since Sunday. Ya'll should come this guy is really good!!!!!!! Bill Stafford's the name. First Baptist Church, 6:30 tommorow night. This might attract you Baptists more than anything I've said so far........THERE'S FOOD BEFOREHAND!!!!!!!! Hahaha! I love joking about that! While I'm at it here's part of a song Mike Williams (christian comiedian,3rd funniest man in USA) sings. I can't remember all of it but here's some....

YOU MIGHT BE SOUTHERN BAPTIST IF....

(Chorus) If we can't laugh at ourselves we shouldn't laugh at others. Gotta learn that humor starts at home. take the beam from your eye, build a bridge to your brother's. When we laugh our pride is sure to go.

You might be a Southern Baptist if you've ever joined Sunday School so you could play softball!

You might be a Southern Baptist if the preacher's name is written on the board in dry-erase marker!

You might be a Southern Baptist if you've ever choked on a communion wafer 'cause there just wasn't enough juice to get your throat to swallow!

If you've got a statue of Lottie Moon on your desk!

If you wanted to call your Sunday school class "Dorcas"!

You might be a Southern Baptist if in the bulletin the word "brotherhood" is always followed by the word "breakfast"!

G2G! I'll thinka more.

Next Part of the Last Post

Hello my family and my friendses!

Whazzupp w/ ya'll? Anyway I am completing that post I said I was gonna finish. And guess whaat? ON MY NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!! WOWEE!!!!!!!!! I love it but it's gonna take sometime to get used to. Ya know, since you type with the keyboard in your lap (which is acually a WHOLE LOT cooler than I thought it would be try it sometime) and everything on this screen is REALLY huge. I tried to fix that but it didn't work. Forgive me if my typing is kinda weird, I have to get used to the keyboard. Oh yeah, almost forgot to say Ronaldo set up this computer "almost all by himself"I wasn't there so I don't know how true that all is but he was pretty happy. He called it, "The Beginning of his Second Career". Kinda catchy if I do say so myself. But when I called him a Microsoft Engineer/Professional Soccer Player he told me to switch it around.

So. So on. So. I drove again last night. In the dark. It was a little nervousing. It was on the way back from R's soccer practice so he was there...Freakin out. Dad fruck out too once when he thought I was gonna wreck but I had my foot on the brake and it was dark and he didn't know that. I had to reverse and my mirror wasn't adjusted and it was dark and it was weird and it was freak-outy. Dark too. Well. Drove between parked cars and saw one driving like only 50ft away from me. Scary!(Don't laugh. It was dark and I could hardly see anything.) Whoakay! On with the rest of the post! (Did I mention it was dark?:P:P:P:P:P:P)

Well Growing Kids Sale went good and I get around $66 off it! They don't have my size clothes anymore so I was Laney's "Agent". Which means I picked clothes for her and showed her wherre stuff was and stuff. That was cool um...............Oh yeah treasure under the bed. Jman once found a missing book under there and got money for finding it so I think that's why he thinks there's treasure under there. On his birthday when he goes under I guess I'll put some coins and his present under there. So so so easy to get the big crecent-eyed smile. That's my favorite kind. I better git.

Comments to my readers: HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY GRANDMA, AUNT MICH AND GG! Dudewhat'sthatsmell, MAKE A NEW BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vio-lou, SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO happy ya got one! Britter your xanga AND your blog are short of those awsome posts! Hi Emynemies! See ya at the field trip! Um... Hi anybody else!

Meggy T

J & JD's First Day

Ok, they are 5 and 3. But this is their first day as in a day of firsts. Dad's been on vacation this week and today is the LAST DAY! (everbody say AW, MAN!) It went so fast!!!!!!!! This morning he took J, JD and Ronaldo fishing at Ronaldo's coach's house. He had bought the little guys SPIDERMAN fishing poles the night before and they were pretty excited. They each caught a fish and Ronaldo caught 5. Dad took pictures. J L-O-V-E-D it!!!!!!!!!! JD calls it "goin' da fishie" and he had fun too! First time for both of them to do that by the way. We just got back from CARS. That's a cute show! MY first time to see it and THEIR first time to go to the movies. Dad had been trying to take us for a little while and twice we all drove out there........and they were closed. Frustratin. But we all got to see it and got to go somewhere w/ Dad! Fun stuff! He doesn't get a vacation every day! Jman said CARS was a pretty good "fun sing" but he liked fishing better. I have a feeling he's gonna start wanting to go more. Like on his birthday. Every fun sing comes on his birthday. Like going under my bed and finding all the treasure. I'll complete this post on what I did durin' Dad's vacation and the Growing Kids Sale and what in the land of middle earth am I talking about when I say treasure under my bed.

Bye!

It's a Fine Day

Hello all!

The day's been fine. I just walked 2 miles and I am HOT! Just 2 more days of walking until I can buy myself something!!!!WHOOHOOO! Dad's on vacation next week (everybody say O YEAH) and Mom told me to make a list of stuff I wanna do then. So far I've got.........

Go to THRIFT TOWN

Do Christmas shopping (First I guess I need to get some ideas. I'll look at the Christmas list on the fridge.)

Drive

I've got more but I can't think of it right now. Long School Day and a headache. Finished ALGEBRA 1/2 today (everybody say O YEAH a second time!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've still got a final exam to do though (everybody say AW MAN). Guess what...........THEY RIPPED UP MY RAMSEY PARKING LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to find a new place to drive. Dad just WILL NOT agree to THE STREET. I wonder why:P It's where ya drive!:P Well I'll think up some more on that list.

Jesus Loves YOU.....Believe it!

Meggy T

Good Feelin'

Today felt good. I got up later than usual and invited Laney to accompany me around the block (we have a really nice one) I acually ended up taking ALL the kids and THAT was quite an interesting experience at 9:30 in the morning!:P I DID walk anyway! That felt good. Made cereal which I was supposed to do, and vacuumed which I was supposed to do. Edited a picture or two. (This is sounding unintentionally poetic!:P I'll break it up)Got my STAR WARS book in today and read that some. Dad has been trying to get his D license in soccer coaching for the last two weekends of so and he finished the class today. He says it'll be charity if he passes but I'm not so sure. So I guess it's just been one of those good days when you're HAPPY!:P LB's teaching LM how to make Ramen Noodles (and, I imagine, getting a HUGE kick out of it too!) and Ronaldo is hanging out with J-man and some other boys playing soccer.*DUH*

Have a blessed happy day!

Hi Peoples!

Finished tagging sale items today ands also finished TWO TOWERS. Want to get more in shape than I am so I told myself last night if I can walk every day for a week I can buy myself something. Started out good today! Just lost a BATTLEFRONT II mission. Whew! BATTLEFRONT, TWO TOWERS, sometimes I think I'm more than half boy!:P BUT to console myself on THAT, I have been reading ELSIE DINSMORE!.....and I'm waiting to get a STAR WARS book in. ARRRRG! Worse and worse! Lemme try sumfin else. I'm NOT working out for big muscles and I DON'T know a lot of guys who are excited about the Growing Kids Sale. HaHa. SOMEBODY tell me something girly about me! Lets make the girly side the biggest side! :p
Gotta Go!
Me

Nine in April!!!!!!!!!

Yes...........MOM IS EXPECTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO-HOOOOOOO,YEAH! Another girl'd be cool! Now we'll be tied with the largest family in the homeshcool group!:P I don't have ANY names in mind! Mom likes Ashley (but Dad doesn't) and Elijah. I guess I kinda like 'em. Have to do some thinking of my own.
Been getting ready for the Growing Kids Sale. Mom said I could have all the sale items! FUN! So, I've been tagging and labeling away and watching the Two Towers. *Sigh, Man, this is the life*:P. Was gonna go on a field trip today but it was canceled because the guide's mom was sick. Pray for her. I'm gonna try to post more often!

God Bless!

Little Guys

Hi everyone who reads this post!

I have 4 little bros. Soooooo handsome and cute and............mischeifey (family word:P). Other day the youngest ones were playing with some bottles of nail polish and of course, it had to be the red one that broke all over the carpet. We kinda had a choice of bleaching it with fingernail polish remover or trying to clean it up with something else.........pretty much a choice between red or white carpet! After firing up the floor shampooer thing and using a roll of paper towels and some simple green, we now have a spot of orange carpet. Good as it's gonna get!:P

We have a new way of getting the house cleaning done fast and fun. Everyone is armed with a vacuum or a duster or something and on "GO!" everyone starts working. We do it with a timer to try to beat last week's times. Pretty fun!

Thing that made me excited today was that this girl http://www.xanga.com/CoffeeMochaJavaGirl is ENGAGED!!!! YYYYEEEESSSS!

Tis The Season

Hello!

This season....it makes you think HOT!!!!!!!!! Not the kinda season I was thinking about.

We went to church today and our pastor was doing one of those "return of Christ", "end of the world" type sermons. (I love those:-D) Well anyhow, He was talking about where it says nobody knows when Jesus is coming back except for the Father. BUT you're allowed to know the season...just not the day or hour. Ya know, the season where people are arrogant, self-seeking, proud, lovers of pleasure instead of God, all that.......sounds like NOW to me huh? Tis the season! Don't keep in step with the spirit of the world - it is all that listed above. He (my cool pastor) used the tsunami thing. When the tsunami first starts it pulls water from the shore. Curious people wander after the water.....to be lets say....dunked x1000000000. They didn't know the sign of the tsunami. Some people don't know the sign of the times so they keep in step. JESUS IS COMING BACK!!!!!! Be ready!

As for what I'm up to, Dad and Ronaldo went out to dinner last night and came back with..........BATTLEFRONT II!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laney and I about went nuts. We started playing it and I got pretty annoyed, thinking, "Oh, we'll ask JA or Brando or some other guy we know that knows how 2 PLAY this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" But eventually we figured it out. (Not to say we won't need to ask ya'll before we get any farther:P)

PS- About knowing the season, but not the day it reminded me of my Grandma. She calls and says she's coming sometime in the week on Sunday and we have NO IDEA what day!!! Sometimes she pops up the next day or sometimes she doesn't come at all...... Sometimes she doesn't call at all and we find her in our driveway when we get back from a soccer game!!! It's kinda funny.

Dad's Birthday & Stuff

Hello!

Today is Dad's birthday! 39! We just finished some Super Sour Cake. Pretty sour, but really not bad!:9

Ronaldo had Turtle over to play 2day and they LEGOd and swam and played guns and that kinda thing.

Had piano with Roger girl 2day.

Joshua read the VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR to me! Not really, he memorized it - sort of. Memorized it to the point where the caterpillar stays in it's cocoon for 100 years!:P It was the most fun I've ever had reading THAT book! He also sang me a song a learned in story time at the library. He sang, "Alligator cake, alligator cake, you can take away my........ french fries, you can take away my....uh....slush.. but you can't take away my ALLIGATOR CAKE!!!!" Cute kid! He loves Story Time!

God Bless!

Postin' afore Lunch About a Lizard

Aloha!

Hi peoples! (those peoples are Britter and Emy, I don't know if anyone else reads this thing!:P)

Well about what I was supposed to post about: We're sitting around, listening to Mom read a book, eating lemonade and cookies (that sounds as weird as drinking cookies and lemonade) when I get up to...do something. There is a LIZARD in my path! I say in what Laura calls my "freaked out voice", " There's a lizard. In our house. Right there. Oh my goodness." Ya know, freaked out voice means period at the end of every three words and all that jazz. Of course, Ronaldo is up and over there in a second saying, "GET A CONTAINER! GET A CONTAINER!" and everyone's trying to get a look while I walk out of the room. If Ronaldo's involved before he's done the lizard's gonna end up in my hair, or lost on my bed or something that's gonna make me flip out or go beserk in the

end. Well they actually catch it in the tupperware container , and I go back in and get a better look. It's got black and yellow stripes and a blue tail - pretty cute. Called it Gieco:P! We kept it until Dad came home then Mom let it out - outside, not in my bed.

Better go eat lunch! Call on Jesus when you're trapped in some kind of tupperware container!!!:P:P:P:P:D

Soccer in the Lone Star State

Hello Ya'll!

Sorry it has been SSOOOO LLLOOONNNGGG since I posted!

We went to TX this weekend for a soccer tourney (When I say WE I mean Dad, Ronaldo, J and J, and me). I'm the one who tags along to film stuff. Anyway, we stayed @ my Grandparents house enjoying XBOX, Homestar Runner, and TV and all that jazz between those awsome games that we won (Didn't lose at At ALL). Really cool! It's nice having DVD players for the road trips. They watched RETURN of the JEDI in back, and I watched PRIDE and PREJUDICE in front. When it got to the boring part, I stuck in the BONUS MATERIALS of the STAR WARS trilogy. FUN!!!

When I got back, Laura and Laney had painted the desk in our room! I was really happy that it was pink and not red with orange stripes and purple polka-dots! :-P

Too bad about the shopping date Brittsey and Emy-Nemyies!: Z

See ya peoples!

Saturday Syrup

Hello All!

Today is Sunday and we just got back from church and SAMS. Dad got a REALLY comfy computer chair! (Acually, I think I'm on the home computer more than he is so it's MY chair:P) But this title is "Saturday Syrup" so I'll have to tell you about yesterday.

Dad and Ronaldo went to OK City at 5:00am for a soccer tournament. Little sister #1 and I made some August pies together. Well, OK not together. We took turns doing ingredients and reading ELSIE'S CHILDREN out loud. Baby Lily died in the story. It was her turn to read and I could barely hear anything. She cried and cried:P

Anyway the pies got done (we had them this morning for breakfast by the way:9) and then we heard Ronaldo's team made LAST PLACE and had to come home that night instead of the next day! Kinda good and kinda bad. They still outplayed everyone though. I made some French Toast and here's where the syrup part comes in. I sit by J man and he wants some syrup on his toast. I reach over and kinda miss the bottle and J man's hand was there so it fell over - spilling all over little sister #1 and my ELSIE'S CHILDREN book. So of course who cares that syrup's on the table, just grab the book. It was closed so it just got on the OUTISDE of the pages. Rinsed it off and ran a hair dryer through it. No crinkled up pages, no stains except for some in those front pages that don't have anything on them. Now you can't tell what happened besides the fact that it has a lovely scent of 100% pure, Vermont Maple Syrup!!!

Keep Your Books Off The Kitchen Table!

OK, I'll Post Again:P

Hope all you Dads had a happy Fathers Day! (Red-head girlfriend and I had talked about whether it was it had a ' thing in FATHER' S. We decided we could spell it either way!) My Grandmas H and S were here and they left this morning. We went to OLIVE GARDEN and everywhere else to shop! We got the PRIDE AND PREJUDICE movie!!! They also bought an 16ft by 4ft swimming pool that we were planning on paying for ourselves BUT... our Grandma, Pawpaw, Grandpa, and Nana said they were paying for it! THANK YOU GRANDPARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!! It's sitting in the backyard waiting to get set up. Fun Stuff!

Tater-tot

Tater-tot is my cousin that is here right now. He'll be here for about 3 weeks. We were doing school still at first but now we're doing extra school for money instead of the Summer Reading Program. I think I'll do some vocabulary 2day for a dollar. I'm reading Pride and Prejudice now for 5 dollars. I started it for fun and now I'm getting money for it! FUN!!! I'm going to read Little Women soon. If anyone has any report of ERAGON by Christopher Paolini (I spelled that wrong, I just know it!) comment me on it. It looks like a fun read but you never know.

But anyway this doesn't have anything to do with Tater-tot except that he's participating. Ronaldo's having fun because TT is so close to his age. They've been playing soccer a lot. We're also currently making an FBI movie with our guest star. (Hi Ace Productions!:P I finished editing two movies and I'll probably be able to bring them next week.)

Have a Blessed Day!

Piano Partying

I want to put this on a separate post just for the sake of putting another post in!:P
Laney and I went to a piano party at Britt's. Laney played her songs good and then I walk up and forget my song! Laney said, "Geez, and everyone knows you're my sister!" lol! I gathered my thoughts and got it right the second time. After that everyone went outside to eat. Yum! Some of the little guys were playing a game like musical chairs except you have to step on wooden circles. I got Hannah to play with me and even though Luke tried desperately to turn off the music and get me out of the game... I won and got some scrapbook paper! We played musical bingo and I didn't win. I get pegged with beans and little tree gumballs and then......Dad comes to pick us up! Fun time!

We were just about to have tea today when the doorbell rings. It was Grandma and Mangnay! What a Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a Blessed Day!

A Week Off!

My Dad is off work this week so we get off school this week!!!!!!! (*Sigh* I love homeschooling!) We haven't been doing much at all which is really nice but I bet it wouldn't be nice forever!:D Last night or the night before we were all just laying around in the living room and Dad turned on all of the rocky, rappy, christian music you can think of! TOBYMAC, KUTLESS, POD, SKILLET, THOUSAND FOOT CRUTCH, etc. Man! Christian dances like a disco robot, it's soooo goofy! His true self comes out anytime this particular song comes on:P Mild-mannered Joshua has a loud voice that sings out rap songs adorably! I can't say that I wasn't going a little crazy too....Gave myself a headache slinging my hair around. I don't know if anyone noticed...Shhhhhhhh.

Hey Ya'll!
Ronaldo(my brother's favorite nick-name) had a tournament for state cup this weekend.
Mom wanted to go so Grandma came from Texas to stay with us. We went to SONIC, got snow-cones, went for walks, watched PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, ect. It was a lot of fun and all the boys behaved pretty well (Mom took baby Angel-Cakes with her)Grandma
left this morning. Today I read ELSIE DINSMORE, did some extra school,fixed the chain on my bike(with a hammer<:)and watched Ronaldo and J-man play XBOX (STAR WARS Episode III). We gave JM his own user and let him play single player for awhile. I think it's amazing how everything comes naturally to him. The very first time we let him try to play he struck more cool moves than we knew how!lol! Laura had dance today and I went and saw Hillary (fun) and now boys are all around me with guns! Aaaaaaahhh!!!

Some Stuff I'll Bet You Didn't Know About Me

I never really dance in front of anyone but my little sisters:P

I LOVE to make movies.

I wake up at 5:30 with my wonderful radio that starts playing at the right time.

My radio station is Air 1.

I hardly ever call my friends by their real names unless they don't have nick-names.

I know 2 people with the nick-name of Lu-Lu:D

I collect magazine clippings in a bill organizer and cover notebooks and stuff.

I like to play Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Trivia with ANYBODY!

Hardly a day passes when I don't eat an egg sandwich:9

My favorite verse is Jer 29:11.

Mom thinks that if I were an animal I would be a kangaroo. (Sassy, Social, and Jumpy) What do YOU think I would be? I really can't think of anything better.

And here's some things that most of you probably DO know about me:

I LOVE Jesus and try(but more often than not fail) to follow where he goes.

I have 3 sisters and 4 brothers that are AWESOME, loveable and FUN!

I have 4 great direct cousins.

I have the best friends a girl could ask for.

I play piano (and like it too!)

Slowpoke Shoppers

Yesterday I went shopping with those chocolates that messed up their blog.(Ha,ha,ha you guys!) ;D We started at the book fair and I bought a couple of books, talked with Andies & Rolos, and got bonked in the head with a box by their cousin:P We went to some garage sales ( nothing good) and went to Taco Bell to wait for Reeses and Twix. Andies bought us lunch (sweet lil thang) and we laughed at each others faces when we all tried Twix's yucky coconut water! Then we went across the street to Name Brand Clothing. First thing we laid eye on was some prom dresses, so we picked some out and headed to the dressing room with the camera. I decided I didn't wanna do it (I'm so mean!) so I had fun laughing at and taking pictures of everybody else with Reeses's camera.(I'm sure I'm gonna get pictures soon!) We had fun looking around and lollygagging and before we knew it it was time to GO! And we had planned on going to at least two other places! Oh, Well. It was fun. Reeses talked me into letting her get me a skirt and some sashes while we were there. (actually, she literally shoved me into it. Ask the witnesses!) {Sweet lil thang!}

Friday

On Fridays we put up the school-work and clean house. Did that today. I got piano done and Christian got soccer done, so we played cooperative two player and a duel. (I won with one hit left till I died!) FUN!!! After that I made some pizza and rushed off to my neighbor's house to teach her piano. Now I'm back, Christian's at soccer and I'm writing on my blog. Later we're gonna watch Extreme Home Makeover and Funniest Home Videos. Should probably check if the pizza's done, so bye.

A Fix

Hey!!!

Reeses asked me on Wednesday if anything exciting was going on bleed-wise and I had to say no. Well, now on Thursday it's another story! Jesse just crawled in from outside while I was doing piano with his lip sticking out and the only clean spot on that red face being the parts the tears washed off - the most PITIFUL sight you ever saw! "Meggy, I need a band- aid!!!" I went over and this time there is no blood at all. Just a little red dot. I said, "Where?"

"Wite Hewe!" he bawls.

"Why do you need a band-aid? That's not a bleed."

" No, it's a scwape. And it needs a band-aid!"

"Why? What's a band-aid gonna do?"

"It's gonna be ON my knee!"

"Why does it need to be?"

"'Cause I got a SCRAPE!"

About here he starts getting frustrated and I give up and get him a band-aid. "Fank oo Meggy". Back to piano. 2 minutes later Christian comes in telling me to get Jesse in trouble for throwing a fit. He says Jesse hurt his knee while throwing the fit. Point of the fit is: He doesn't wanna come in for throwing a different fit. Sigh, sigh,sigh,sigh. I say he needs to sit in bed. (He is obviously tired) Oh my. I think most of you know what that means. The thing is Mom is outside mowing so there's no telling him to confess the over-usage of vocal cords. I literally drag him to his bed, waking up Mallory and Nathan on the way. (Nathan shares a room with him) I have to close the boy's door so Mallory won't hear as much. Jesse doesn't like that, but then neither does Nathan. They both scream. That's when I start feeling in a big FIX. Jesse ends up quieting down so I'll open the door. I did. I hugged Nathan for awhile. It's bad to have to do something he hates when it's not his fault I have to do it. Then I leave. Nathan cries. I go in about 61 seconds later and Jesse is asleep. Nathan still whines for 30 minutes and then Mom comes to get him up. Whew! Back to piano:P

Use a lot of Jesus 'cause you can't do this stuff on your own!

Another Tongue~Twister for ya just real quick

My friend Emy just e-mailed me this one:

Betty bought a bit of bitter butter but the butter was too bitter for the batter, if she used the bitter butter for the batter, it would make the batter bitter, so she bought a bit of better butter!

Whoooo!

Tongue~Twisters

Hey Everyone!

Christian and I were doing this this morning. Try to say these things 6 times fast.

1 - A Noisy Noise Annoys an Oyster

2 - A Box of Mixed Biscuits, a Mixed Biscuit Box

3 - Red Leather, Yellow Leather

4 - Ape Cakes, Grape Cakes

A Bleed!

Hello All!

Christian had to sleep upstairs last night because Mallory screams all the time. He talked Dad into letting Laney and Laura sleep up there too, so I had the room all to myself! WEIRD!!! I was just reading an Elsie Dinsmore book when I hear, "WAaAaAaA!" Hark! the sound of a 3-year-old in distress!lol! About 2 seconds later the door opens. "Meggy I got a BLEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"(An ouch that has the tiniest spot of red) Nathan follows close at Jesse's heels to catch the fun. He limped over very patheticly and stuck his foot up on my bed. Sure enough, he had a pretty good amount of blood on that foot, but not enough to leak on the floor. Whew! He had picked a scab. I put him at the sink and washed it off, him squalling and saying "OW!" all the time. I put a band-aid on it and RIGHT AWAY the belly-aching stopped, he jumped down, and ran into his room like nothing ever happened. Those Band-Aids have great powers. Amazin' ain't it?

Hey Everyone!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. My Grandma's visiting and she took all of us kids shopping.(Not all at once of course-we split up into two days) I got to go both days to shop for clothes. We went Old Navy (Nothing good), Wal-Mart (Nothing good), and Kohls where I got some white capris and Grandma bought me the cutest skirt ever! Laney helped me pick it out. (Bekah, you are gonna LOVE it!)

Today I did some piano, finished ACTS, read Elsie Dinsmore, and worked on Laney's 500 piece STAR WARS puzzle.*Smile* The boys are watching ROBOTS.

Time for Lunch!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart.

LB's Splinter

Hello Everyone!!!

This Spring is really busy....and HOT!!! Christian and Joshua both have soccer practices and games that have consumed the evenings lately so that we don't always get to eat together. So now we sometimes go to Dad's work and picnic with him by a fountain outside (Joshua calls it "The Ocean"). We took Taco Bell and a soccer ball yesterday and ate, talked, got chased by fire ants, and all that jazz. Of course, no picnic is complete without a soccer game! Laura was playing an Laney's team.....barefoot! When we got home she was feeling a little sick and told us she had a rock in her foot. Sure enough, there was a little black, sharp thing in her toe! She wanted to take a nap because she wasn't feeling good, and Christian said that she had surely gotten deyedrated. Twenty minutes of soccer? Whew! That'll do that to ya! I was going to kinda stop it there, but Christian and Laura just walked up with the triumphant news that Christian had pulled the rock-which acually turned out to be a stick out with the tweezers! I think he likes pulling her teeth and splinters and such.

Got to Go to Breakfast!

Blah, Blah, Blah

My friend came over the other day and watched A NEW HOPE with me. Mom had taken all of the other kids except sleeping Mallory to the park for Taco Bell and she dropped our soft tacos off before she left. We decided to eat them before we started the movie so could just talk and dilly-dally around. Had a nice talk, ate all our food, and went downstairs to start the show. We heard a knock on the door--- Mom was back! "You JUST finished LUNCH????" Even by this time the little yellow words were not done rolling up the screen. Whoops! Guess that's what happens to chatterboxes:)

But what was very strange was that we didn't talk the whole time during the movie! Now I said we didn't talk the whole time...Just about half the time. We watched all of the LORD of the RINGS' together and the STAR WARS prequels........talking the ENTIRE time! I suppose we didn't have anything to say since our ENTIRE lunch was spent "Jabber - Jawzzing" (Laura Beth)

Allergeeeeeez

Dad has had asthma and nose allergies since before I was born. Mom says he's always snoring and making noise at night because he can't breathe through his nose. Well, now Christian has allergies that affect the eyes. It looks like he has pink eye a lot in spring (when there is pollen everywhere). Dad can't mow and neither can Christian-even with a mask and goggles. SoOoOoOoO... Laney's working on that job. She's kinda the outdoor girl and is the only one of the Taggart girls that really knows how! Good ol' Lane. I thought Christian and Dad would be the only ones, but now Mom thinks JESSE has the eye allergy thing too!!!:0 His don't look like pink eye, but they're all puffy and look like he's been punched! He's only 3, really enthusiastic about life and.......LOUD. He's not letting this bog him down much, but I'm praying he won't have to fight it all his life. YIKES!

I Like this Blog!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

My mom has a blog like this and I thought it was pretty neat! I'm so happy Dad gave me one! This is just a neat spot where I can type out what (if anything) is going on in my world.

Today was a regular school day now that Testing is over. Feels pretty good to get done with a full day's worth of school after you haven't done it in awhile, even if I don't like Math! Finished Piano too - Yea! I like to get the regular hour off my chest and then do more as I want to. Off to dust my jurisdictions!

In Christ,
