I used up every bit of my temper trying to write an Eragon Review for the newspaper. Working ALL DAY to start and finish that paper by the way. Hard story to write and the computer kept deleting parts of it!! Then Mom said it was too many words. There was nothing I could do to make it better, it's a long loser movie that takes up to many words to explain. Then of course the printer malfunctions, we almost run out of printing paper (found some in Dad's printer), and...the printer just malfunctioned again, and Sticks just came and said it did it again. Boy oh boy. Britter and Brother better be back from Surrender, I need some cheering up QUICK before I fall apart or explode or something!!! Comment quick and alot! Dad especially. I am about done.

The History of Bath and No Dad
Tonight I gave Bird and Mayfee a bath. As I was scrubbing Mayf's hair I remembered when he was a little guy and would cry when I dumped water all over his hair. Couple of years ago. He's a big guy now! *Sniff, sniff* From there I thought back further to when I was doing Jess and he would suck on the washrag and when J-dude was so happy when he took his first shower all by himself. Remember giving Lou-lou showers and baths of all things!!! She's all big and not the same baby now. She used to be scared of the water. Lastly when I used to take baths with Laney and we stayed in playing for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Then ya know the steam fogs up the mirror and we'd draw pictures in it. Didn't think things like that would be memories of foreverago at that time! Wonder what I'm gonna remember from right now? I am probably boring ya'll out. Here's a picture of a bath!
Bird Again!!!!!!!!!!!! She just has so many cute pictures cuz she can't help but be pretty!!!!!!!!!!
Dad left to go work at CCU yesterday. Seems like a loooong time ago! SAAAAAAAAAD!!!!! We are hoping to sell the house soon so we can join him in CO. I wonder about the people who are going to buy are house. What are they doing and what's the hold-up! Ronaldo's being a good man while Dad's gone. He got us all lunch and snowcones today! We also filmed some more movie today. The ALIEN part!!!!! He scared ME!!! He's got all these eyes. And eyes on his eyeLIDS soooooo....he's never blinking. The closed eye stare is creeeeeeepy!!!!!!!! He doesn't speak English so he has SUBTITLES!!!!!!!! Cool huh? He said after we watched it, "Ok I'm freakin myself out!" You Britter and Brother people will like it!!!!! Have a nice day! Meggy T

The Deathcrawl - Blindfolded!
Get into a crawling position. Have somebody lay their body on your back and have them hold on to you so that they are riding on your back. Now lift your knees off the ground so that you are on your hands and toes. Go. Start crawling.
You know it - the DEATHCRAWL from the movie FACING THE GIANTS. Brock is told to crawl like that to the fifty yard line on the football field. Umm, yeah sure. Then, here's the big part - he is blindfolded. He doesn't think he can, but he is going to try his best. Brock gets going pretty good, but as he goes on he gets tired.
"It hurts!"
His coach is right beside him. "Keep driving! You're doing good! Keep driving!"
"It burns!"
"It's all heart!"
"I can't do it!"
"You can! Don't quit! Don't quit!"
After a long hard drive he finally takes the last step. There his coach removes the blindfold.
"Look up Brock. You're in the End Zone."
As I watched that scene for the hundredth time I was shown something. God is our coach. The deathcrawl is hard, but God tells us to do it. BUT....He blindfolds you. You don't see his plan or where you are. Brock couldn't see how far he had crawled. If he had, he would've quit at the fifty yard line. But since he didn't know he kept on giving his best. If you saw where you were after you're at a certain point you would say, "Ok, this is far enough." But God blindfolds you to his plan.You don't know what he's doing so you have to give your best and keep driving. When you're done walking through the valley you see what a perfect plan he had for you all along. And I don't know about you, but sometimes it takes God quite a bit of yelling to get through to me and get me to keep going! You'd think He'd have a sore throat by now with me myself, not counting the other people He has to yell at!
I hope all that made a little sense. It's a lot easier to think than to write ya know what I mean? *Oh well* Hope you got something!

Trip To Texas To Tow a Trailer
A trailer with a boat on it. A bass boat to be exact. It was given to my Dad by my Grandma H. So yesterday we embarked on a family trip to go pick it up - Zekey, Bird and all!
PLAN A: Drive to Grandma and Pawpaw's. A 4 hour trip. Pick up the Boat, Eat Lunch and have Fun. Go to Grandpa and Nana's next. Eat Dinner and have Fun. Drive Home. Another 4 hour trip.
We set about to carry out PLAN A. No other plans. It's just Lah-dee-dah fun! Nice drive to Grandma and Pawpaw's with good quiet babies. We pick up the boat and eat lunch and have fun in the golf cart. So far the plan is going nicely huh? Then we drive to Grandpa and Nana's. Nobody is hungry but we have fun with grandparents and met a little goat (Hi Emy!) We say goodbye and start to drive home. Good plan huh? Worked well? Nnno. It is still light out when we need to pull over and change a tire. OK we're good now. We drive some more. When POW! The tire burst into oblivion!!!! What excitement! So Dad and Sticks got out and changed the tire again. Now we are out of spares. The tires still aren't in good shape sooooo...
PLAN B: Pray that these Tires will Last Until we can get to a Wal-Mart or something to change them Trailer Tires. Plug Ears because Bird is Not Happy.
It is late now and we drive quite a good bit out of our way to find a Wal-Mart. Boys are asleep and it is way past Bird's bedtime but she won't sleep. Just cry. Dark, dark, dark outside. Wait...wait, a light! A BIG light! Either a football game or a Wal-Mart... a Wal-Mart it is!!!!!! Dad goes out for tires. We wait a long time. Dad comes back and says they do not have tires. Bird does not have diapers. We're giggling and having fun and being sarcastic about this mess. An adventure for everyone...except Poor Bird.
PLAN C: We leave the boat at the Police Station and go home. Dad will come back to get the boat and take care of it in the morning by himself.
We drive to the Police Station. Dad goes out and negotiates with the Police. We wait in the car. Dad comes back and says we can leave it there but the police aren't responsible for watching it or anything. We have no lock for it. We debate about the next plan. Lane says,"I think we should just leave it here and go home and if that thing gets stolen it won't be much loss to us!" Big laugh. But no. It getting stolen is not an option.
PLAN D: We go back to Grandma's for the night. Dad and Pawpaw will take care of the tires.
That's where I said "Uhhh...Ok" because of our numbers and my Bird. Zekey can sleep in his seat but Bird has never slept out of a crib before. And she has no diapers and NO WAY she can go through the night with out wetting anything! Also we packed NOTHING. From no pajamies to no toothbrushes. So far we have managed to drive around for 4 hours, but never get out of the state! In fact, it only takes us 1 1/2 hours to get back to where we started!:P It is late I go to sleep. When I wake up the tire has burst again and...Pawpaw to the rescue!!! We go back and the boys sleep on the floor in the living room. I lay Bird down there too, and she was tired she didn't even move. Oh, and we just left the diaper she had on on. Dad slept on the couch in the living room and the other big kids slept on the recliners. I got to sleep in the bed with Mom and Babyboy.
Now it is morning. Turns out Dad DID have some trouble with Bird. She started crawling around in the middle of the night (or morning as it was) so she slept with him. We had some yummy breakfast and the boat is fixed up.
PLAN E: We Drive Home with the Boat.
We say goodbye and start to drive home. Dad says, "I don't think this boat is supposed to go to Arkansas." Grandma and Grandpa had also said a lot about the unsafeness of the boat and made us go,"Ooohhhh..." So Mom says,"Let's save 4 little boys' lives" sooo....
PLAN F: We go to Grandpa and Nana's and give them the Boat.
We do. But Grandpa pays us for it. AND he said when he fixes his other boat or something he'll drive it to CO for us! Oh My!!!
PLAN G: Drive Home.
Mission accomplished today. Fun all in all though there were some intense moments! Thank heaven for good Grandparents huh?!:) And we lived happily ever after until the little boys' soccer games got canceled because of rain. Haha!!! God giggled at us today. And yesterday. I am glad He's got a sense of humor!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

More Bird and Some Zekeo
Dad went out and took some pictures of Bird being mad outside. I know I just posted some of her, but I could not resist!
The usual: "Aaaa...Noooooo...Miiisssseeerrrry!" (kidding people:P)
I LOOOVE THIS ONE!!! She is soooo adorable is she not?
"Sniff, sniff. I think I'm OK now".
Then later we set stuff up to shoot Lil Zekeo.
I'd post more pics but this uploader is taking forever for some reason and I've got Bird on my hip. She says, wwwwwwqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexw3eeyyj yhbv cccv b nkjhjdegg
Bye!

The Bird
Here's the rest of those sibling posts! There's naught to tell about Zekeo now but I will once he gets a lil bigger!
Bird - She is a crazy thing! If she were an animal she would be a bird, the way she stumbles and flutters along the ground like some baby bird that can't get off the ground. She also has this chirp that kinda sounds like "mmm?" that means, "can I do this?", "can you do this for me?", or "Gimmie what I want!":P She opens her mouth to beg for other people's food, but her own that is the same thing doesn't taste that good I guess. She says, "Mama", "Daddy", "Cacka?" (cracker) , "Kookah" (cookie), and before she can say any of our names she says "Jo". *Sigh* She soooooooo pretty and has all this sweet dark hair. I fix it every morning when I take her to get dressed and clean up in the morning. Here's some pictures!
Baby Zekey is Here!!!
Welcome to Baby Zekey Tagg! He was born on the 14th and a
whoppin 8.5 lbs!!! So cute!!!
See pictures!

My Little Brothers
Here's some more sib stuff! I'll probably get to doing other friends too.
J-MAN - Overall a sweet guy and eager to please people. He's got my favorite kind of smile , the kind where the eyes are pushed up into little crescents ya know? I think it's pretty and it makes me smile whenever somebody who has that smile smiles. I wish I did. It's powerful!:P Anyway, He has a passion to get soccer balls in the back of that net no matter what it takes him. He cries when somebody scores on him and it was his fault. Sticks is his model and if Sticks likes it, J-dude likes it. He works out with Sticks and plays soccer with him and all sorts of things. He loves macaroni & cheese! If he were an animal he'd be a dolphin. Very intelligent, mild-mannered, easily trained fellow. He accepted Christ this year and hasn't forgotten it if ya know what I mean!
Jess - He is the wild hair of Tagg End! The one ya just can't get into place! He's a little extremely sociable scatterbrain and can't take out a trash without making rounds of the house or trips to the bathroom 2 or 3 times! Lou's the same way. He has the biggest eyes of about anyone in Arkansas!!!!! He has funny little fat lips. He looks like a puppy - he has that facial expression and when he was smaller when you held him it felt like you were holding a puppy! He's strong and is very good at monkey bars. He doesn't have the natural gift of soccer skills that Tagg boys HAVE to have, but he just started playing on the GREEN MACHINE TEAM. He's doing pretty good! He could swing himself, ride a two-wheeler bike, and swim at the age of 3. He has a strong little will and he potty-trained himself just because J-dude was doing it and he decided he didn't want to wear diapers anymore. So BAM. Done. No sweat.
Mayfee - He's a little 2. It's his birthday tomorrow though. He has the same trait as Lulu about going with the flow and just having fun with whatever anybody else if having fun with. His blankey is red and white and he's not as much attached to it as the other boys were to theirs. He's visibly tan. OK I've gotta go. Eragon's on. Ill tell you how that is.

My Crazy Bros and Sises
I felt like posting about my sibs 2day.
LANE - She is absolutely opposite from me in almost every way. We do like the same books and I don't think we have ever disagreed about a book. Not to easy to get her all mad, but when she gets mad it's over a little thing and leaves you confused. She's easy to get pushed in the right direction though. She will only be crazy and goofy if somebody else does first and she has to know the people she's around VERY well. That's why nobody except her family has seen her freak. Her free time is spent in boy's games, such as wrestling, soccer, or video games but that's not bad and I can't argue because I am the same way. Boys stay children longer than girls stay children. Boy sports will keep you happy and younger for longer! She also crochets. She's the only one in our family that does that.
STICKS - A very tricky and deceptive fellow. Not in a bad way, he just shows you never to be deceived by appearances. Most of the time he's a very decent mild-mannered sort of fellow, but he has got the wildest demeanor, God love him. He's got the kookiest things going through his head and it comes out with an all new clownish sense of humor. For all that to come out he has to be having a good time, be with people he knows well, and no adults allowed. Mom's never even seen it I don't think unless she pokes her head out the door when me and him are on a walk or something. Dad's seen it though when he's having a good time. Some people he's around have never seen his weird side and some people see nothing but. He's always crazy at soccer and he's good at that ball game too! J-man thinks he the big Deal! He likes to get on Laura's nerves but most of the time she doesn't mind. It's all his fault about our boy recreational activities. We play with him, then find out that is fun and now we're messed up! He doesn't like to read a lot, but he likes AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, the NARNIA books, and the GA Henty books. Books are what we don't agree on too much. He likes it when I tell him stories about what happens in STAR WARS books.
Lu-lu - She is crazy ALL THE TIME!!! It's her serious side people need to know her well to see. It mostly comes out in our room at night when we're talking about something serious....which is about once a month!:P She likes being a girl, but no one can escape Sticks's influence of boy play. I don't really get what goes on in her head! I don't think she quite knows either yet! She likes to listen to books I read aloud and the MOODY books. She kinda just goes with the flow and follows along with whatever we're having fun with! When we skip parts in movies so we can get it done she wants do do it at the good part! She dances worship dance and is pretty strong. She likes monkey bars much. She's got a tongue crib that makes her talk kinda funny sometimes! SCARY!!!:P
I'll post about the boys later!!!
