VERSE OF THE DAY: You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Psalm 73:24

BOOK OF THE DAY: Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

Wrastled with the lawnmower and mowed the front even though it sounds like its about to die the whole time! Mr. Walker says it time to get a new one. Amen I say!!! It rained before I could do the back, but I moved this flowerpot thing back there, and there was a SNAKE!!!! Thank heaven it was raining and I didn't have to be out there!!!!!!

We have been making a bunch of bows and arrows. They shoot really good! Now we all have one! The boys share one though since they're all the same size. We need to get some more of those wood rods you see in the pictures - except LONG ones!!! My bow's about as big as I am and can take a pretty long arrow. Here's some pics I took yesterday....

The Joshua focus

This is Louie's bow

This one's mine!

Mayfee with the boys' bow. He can shoot, but only if you're helping and he gets lucky;) Then it goes a long way! Speaking of said miniature man, he's got some sort of cough thing. It's not all the time, he's his same spunky self, and nobody else has caught it (clueless shrug). I think it's because this drunk germ got in and is not really functioning properly (and I guess we're happy about that!) The germ did really nail it last night though, because the little guy coughed so hard he puked all over the floor! Eeeeeeew. After he did it though he didn't seem to think twice about it, just told Lane quite naturally that "he had a lot of spit, so he spit and it was a big one!" That kid is hilarious. All of em are actually. He slept with me last night (it was Friday after all) and I wasn't very happy that he woke up a gazillion times to whine and cry or cough or talk about things. Usually just a pat on the back or a "Go to sleep Mayfee" fixes it. I WAS happy when he woke me up to say he needed to go to the bathroom even though he had a diaper on! He was still clean and dry in the morning! *Good boy*
We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning. Yum! And we're gonna have pizza for dinner tonight...Yum! Dad's coming home in 3 more sleeps!!! *Life is good*

Verse of the Day:
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
1 John 4:10


Movie of the Day:
Pride & Prejudice Nan and Emy came today and we watched Pride & Prejudice. Funfunfun!!!!!!!!!! We talked through the whole movie (*DUH*) about....nothing? Teehee! They are awesome! I think I'm the most intelligent of them two....:P We've got to do dat again in some other form! Emy brought the chronicles of her embarrassing moments at camp! They were funny!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

By the way, I am going to CO again! For the month of July. Comment my blog a lot you people cuz we won't be able to email!!!! We're having school there and all!!!!!!!! Well, I'm going to soccer with Sticks, so I need to go eat. Seeyous!

Posting

I feel I should post, though there's nothing in particular to post about. Lets see, Mom went to a garage sale and got a couple of patio tables and chairs. Louie, Sticks, and Lane have been painting them I think they're gonna finish that today.

I'm borrowing a book called WOMAN IN WHITE. It's not bad! Not bad as in I remember where I am while I'm reading it, but I still get the story. It's kinda mysterious in a way that makes your eyebrows go up a couple centimeters, then down as low as they can go.

Ummm...Oh, Nan and Emy are comin over Tuesday to carry out our scheme!!! That means we're gonna watch the new Pride and Prejudice (the best one)! Funfunfun!!!

Speaking of movies, my Facing the Giants one ran off from it's home in Mom's DVD player. We have no clue where an unwronged, round, shiny thing with a hole in the middle could've gone to. I'm offering up a reward for it to scheming siblings. So...it may be found. Things are mysteriously disappearing only to be found when you're not really looking for them. My camera did it once and I was transmorgified, but it was behind a couch pillow later. Huh I say! Ready for some drama....."WHY? (sob) FACING THE GIANTS WAS THE BEST (I THINK)!!! (sniff) O unfaithful DVD, we shall mourn your departure and eagerly await the day when you return to us as the prodigal son did, repentant and remorseful! We shall not give up our most desperate search for thee!" Teehee!!!!!! Rather untrue, everybody's at their leisure right now! Besides, LOTR is best anyway!

I babysat last night for Nellie and Willy. (Does that sound ironic to you?:P) They're really good though most of the time!

We went to church this morning and everybody was good (including Bro. Dale!). Just had a bean burrito for lunch and...here I am now. With Froggy. He smiles a lot now!

I guess I'll post about Scheme Day if nothing happens between then and now.

Seeyalater!

Happy First Day of Summer!!!

Bring on the heat - as long as it doesn't come near ME!!! Heat is one thing I am NOT gonna miss about living in AR. But Dad said it was 96 degrees in CO yesterday, but it's not humid or anything. Not much going on. Wingycousins came over today and we had some fun. I lost to Moff Jerrjerrod at Age of Empires though...ahem. Oh well. One of these days... I technically won at STAR WARS TRIVIA with him and the Captain but...kinda not. I know I just posted about fun with Wingycousins and you guys are probably going, "Yeah, yeah. Something else interesting please?" but not a lot has been happening worthy of internet recognition.

Oh yeah! Here's something! Lane and Sticks work for one of our neighbors who is out of town right now and she let us use her pool! Cool huh? I haven't used it, I'm not a huge swim fan. You throw me in the water and it'll be the quickest way to kill me short of shooting me in the head or stabbing me through...some of yall might want to know that:P Wrastled with the lawnmower again today. It won...I'm just BEAT today!!!!!!!! By humans AND machines!!!!

Have a Laid Back Summer!!!

Mayfee's so cute! He likes swimming too! It looks like a picture from a greeting card or something.

Dad's coming home for the 4th and Mom's birthday! Cain't wait!!! Sticks is then leaving with him again with maybe Laney to go to CO for more rockin soccer. Dad's coaching the SWOOSH 3 vs 3 team. Hooray! I wish he could film it or something.

I'm reading in the Samuels some stuff about King David. He's my favorite!!! His parts are pretty much my favorite parts. I'm done with him, but I'm probably gonna go back and the best parts. I skippy-dip through all the books I read. Mom teases me because once I know the characters in a story, I go to the end and see what happens. Then once I know I read the rest of the book. I read the last part of ERAGON today. If it's not a good movie it IS a good book!!

Make God laugh today!!!

Fun with Wingycousins!

We got to go to the cousins' house for a family weekly get-together thing they were doing. It was neat that they asked us because we aren't technically cousins! But it was really cool, we got to meet some of their real cousins. There was JD and he was real nice, we all got along great right away. There was Aust and Dyl, who were 4 and 2, and Jess, Jman, and Mayfee really enjoyed them. They were great! All the little boys had an awesome time finding little frogs and such. I wasn't that escatated when Just snuck up on me with one of those though! (He WILL be some kind of comedian one day!) We also met their Nana and Pawpaw, and their aunt and uncle who were all super-duper nice and great! We ate a bunch of sloppy joes, then played some whiffle-ball. It was really funny, Mrs. W separated everybody into teams so the ages would be right and it was all Taggs vs Wingycousins except for me and Drallen! So I was with the Wingycousins and the adults on our team were Wingyaunt and Mrs. W. Mom and Mr. W were on the Tagg team. It was really fun, and Wingys won!!! Yipee! Sticks was sliding into bases and such. He was the fastest one out there! Mayfee was even hitting the ball! Mr. W would say, "All right, look out everybody! Here's the big hitter!!!" He was grinning like a coon and ran the bases when he was supposed to. Princess Bird didn't like the idea of playing and cried some. She always wanted Mom to hold her and when she left it was either me, Lane, or Mrs. W. Another funny thing - she would kiss all the Wingy cousins but she wouldn't touch JD! She just looked at him with an "I don't know you, back off!" look and shook her head! She did like cookies and ice cream though!!!

When we got home that night we had a battle with a huge moth that was trying to take over our bedroom! We won though!!!(I think it was that one that we saw in the garage Dad) It was about the size of a big butterfly.

We went to McDonald's with everybody today because we were showing the house. I was petrified of that yucky place! If it were up to me, everybody that touched that play stuff would take a shower at home!!!:P I think it's Dad's fault I'm like that. He doesn't like germs and taught me in his ways!!!:P When we get back, we find that the people were running late and they didn't even come!!!!!!!!! They still want to do it today, but wherever we go - NOT McDONALD'S!!!!

I've been playing 3rd AGE on the XBOX and reading ERAGON today. Any good book I haven't read ideas? I'm out of books.

Have a Beeyoutiful Day!

I'M GETTING A CAR!!!!!!!!!!

Grandpa Gary and Mrs. Andie have an old car they're going to give me!!!!!!!!! HOOOOOOORAAAAAAAY!!!! They are just great!!!! I've never seen it, but Mom says it's ugly, Sticks says it's awesome looking and it's "crayon blue". I'm not that sure what that is, maybe the color of this font. And Grandpa Gary says it's indestructible! I bet Dad's happy that I'm gonna have my own so I won't take his preeeety car!!!!! I'll post some pictures once I get it. Now I'm gonna have to learn how to DRIVE!!!!

Season's Greetings!!!

That means it's HOT!! I have to go inside on a sunny day or I'll get wet!!! It's really sticky!!!!

I babysat all day today, and I babysit all day tomorrow. Not much going on. Sticks bought us girlys the LITTLE WOMEN movie today. Whoohoo! We're going to the TAGG END CINEMA at 2:00pm tomorrow! (Hey Sarah, our house is TAGG END so yalls house should be HOBBITON) Siblings went swimming, Bird nearly dove off the counter, and I met a weird clicking, bouncing bug today. It was weird, it was like a skinny beetle, that wouldn't crawl, it just made a click and bounced aimlessly into the air, looking like if you put a normal beetle into a frying pan, I guess hoping that that bounce took him closer to wherever he wanted to get to! Anybody know what that is? Here's a good song. Have you heard it? It's really catchy:

Britt Nicole - You

From the album: Say It

I’ve been looking for love in another’s eyes

Searching for water, but I come up dry

Thought that I could find Happiness in the world’s applause

Peace of mind in a worthy cause

Take me back, take me back

Got to trust in the simple truth

Got to trust all I really need is

(Chorus)

You

I’m coming back to You

The only thing I know worth living for

Will You take this heart and make it more like

You

I give it back to You

It’s obvious no one could love me more

I’m Yours

I’m coming, coming back,

yeah I’m coming, coming back

To joy that speaks to my deepest need

To arms never far out of reach

Yeah, how Your love it

Calls to me when I loose my way

Holds me close when I feel afraid

Take me back, take me back

Got to trust that I’m save and sound

Got to trust that it all comes down to

You

(Chorus)

So no more getting caught in the middle

No more waiting for what is unsure

Back to Your love so true and so simple

Don’t understate it or complicate it

It’s so simple, yeah, it’s so simple

(Chorus)

I am Back!!!!!!!

I do like Lakewood. It is real nice with mountains and trees and stuff. The traffic's not bad and it kinda feels like here. Except enhanced I guess if ya know what I mean. We drove by the BRONCOS stadium pretty much every day, and that was pretty cool! Sticks got to see the RAPIDS stadium while he was there. The drive there was not bad. Bird didn't like it, but she lived! She just waddled up and said, "Hi Maheey!" I think she's happy to be back. Anyways, we got to stay at the student housing apartment thing for CCU for FREE! It was really cool, it had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, 3 floors, and a washer and dryer. Sticks's team, SWOOSH, ROCKS THE BOAT!!!!!! They won their tourney and Sticks got like...3 assists or so. He's made new friends that he really likes, the coach is great, and the team is WAY better than Express. Watching the first game just made me miss Express because Sticks wasn't the only good player, I didn't know any of these new guys, and they knew what they were doing. It's kinda fun to watch it click with players and see how they apply the practice drills to the game and such, but SWOOSH could play SOCCER. REAL soccer. It was good to see some of that though, and I warmed up around the second game, and it was great fun! Here's the link to the pics...

It starts with Sticks's kiss to the crowd when he gets his medal, but if you want to see the other game pics go back to the other pages.

The cheer:
Riley: "What sound does a toilet make?"
Team: "SWOOSH!"

Bird almost DID NOT survive the drive back though! She screamed and screamed. Poor lil thang! Poor US! But she quit when she found out that crying really didn't have a point and it wasn't fixing anything. It about rained all the way to AR! Good to be back though, except Dad didn't get to come:(

Please Pray

My Grandma H (my mom's mom that is) was diagnosed with breast cancer while we were on the trip. Cancer is just no good. I'm reading up on all these kids that have it and then it's somebody in MY family!!! We don't know a lot right now, but please pray!

I'll post about my trip later. I'm back by the way!

Going to Colorado

I'm leaving the blogger world for awhile. I am going to Colorado to see Dad and see Sticks play in his first tournament with SWOOSH. I am gonna have to learn all those guys' names so I can yell better! Mom told me that Sticks is getting on good with the coach's son. I can still not click that Sticks will not play for EXPRESS anymore. Maybe this will help me. I still think, "Hey! When he comes back he'll be in time to play in Dawg Daze!" But no. I hope all goes well. So anyway, Grandma T is coming and will drive - yes DRIVE - us to...Billy's place I guess. That's where Dad is....I think. I'll shall be back Wednesday next (13th)...I think! Don't listen to me, I don't know anything!!!!!:P So, faretheewell! Pray muches for everything!

Oh, by the way, I was flipping through Daughters of Destiny today. That's how I read when I'm out of books, just look at all my books that I've already read. Anyhow, I was reading about a brave settler lady and her husband. Indians came at their door and somehow managed to shoot something through the door, bust it open and fling tomahawks, or otherwise manage to give the husband a good knockout. When they started crawling in the door through the hole they had made, the lady got a big axe and smashed that one's head, then pulled him through into the room. His slow friend decided to try his luck and got a thwack too. Two got smart and left a friend at the door and tried a different way in. But they were too noisy at the chimney and the lady ran over to the feather bed, ripped it open and threw the feathers on the little fire. Preety soon two injuns come tumbling down and she bashes their heads (fire doesn't do the trick fast enough, ya know). Well that one friend by the door poked his head in to see what was going on, but when she swung at him she missed his head and just got his cheek. The Indian ran home and told his friends how a ferocious white woman was killing all the Indians who were fighting her gallantly, and how only he had been skilled enough to fight his way through with only a cut on the cheek!

The book is actually much more descriptive and violent than me. Oh well, I thought that was pretty brave and I could just SEE it happening! That's almost like Gimli, ya know? Haha!

High School Fellowship & Open House

So we had high school fellowship. Mrs. Andie came and talked about her trip to Tanzania and that was really neat!!! She had a cool slideshow of pictures she took. The only thing to mar the fun was that lots of my friends weren't there:( Now the rest of them that were there are gone to at church camp except Britter (wait, is Cole gone? I dunno. If she's not she's will be soon!). It was still fun as fun can be without you guys though!!!

We did an Open House last Sunday. We went out and got snowcones and hung out at the circle park. Nobody really came, we're not having any more of those! Here's some pics I took out there though!

Whee!

It's what happens after a blue snowcone!

The Bird Mal walking the Dog Jo who isn't aware that he's being walked

Shopping!!!

Yes Britter I went shopping!(by the way, my new nick-name for you is Sunshine) Me and mom went to BRENDA'S - awesome place! The lady there always remembers us and cuts down the prices for us! Yay! Between BRENDA'S and THRIFT TOWN I got seven shirts (I think) and two pairs of capris. Spent about $50. Whoo-hoo! Funfunfun!

Here's some DC Talk music videos:

dc talk - day by day

dc talk - consume me

Jesus Freak - DC Talk

dc talk - my friend so long

That last one is pretty funny. I saw it at Britters on TV. Going to high school fellowship tonight! I picked which set of new clothes to wear too! I'll probably post about that too later.

God Bless!
