MOVIE OF THE DAY: Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller

Dad leaves today at 4 :( It was weird sleeping in our room without Lane in there! We went and picked up our mail yesterday cuz the post office was holding for us while we were gone. CALL TO BATTLE was in there! Hooray! My article was in front. People look in and they read that first article and go, "Oh, all these people write like that? This magazine's junk!"

From what I hear, the HUNTED movie that Lucas and Sunshine Princess are doing is going well. (I just couldn't resist the Lucas thing!) I keep forgetting to e-mail you girl! I'll see if I can after this post.

Dad got the NETFLIX thing and we watched NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. It was pretty dumb, but cute and funny. He cussed though. It makes me mad when they do that! They don't need to!

I am feeling a little yuck today. I finished that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde book that also has the Suicide Club, and The Body Snatcher in it. I won't be reading that again. The Body Snatcher is real short so i read it all at once and...it wasn't a good idea! I wasn't Daddy-I-need-you scared, more like uh-demonic-spirits-are-arguing-with-my-guardian-angel scared. I read some Bible and listened to Air 1. It worked great! Must go!

Bye bye

Grandma & Grandpa T came over yesterday and brought back Jo!!! I think he's glad to be back!:) Today Lane and Sticks left with them. They will go to TX, then CO and Dad leaves tomorrow for CO:( It's boringer now.
Emy J came over yesterday and I got some c-Yute clothes from her!!! Joyjoyjoy! Must leave!

Your Typical Jess

We were on the way to CO, ya know, driving in the middle of nowhere, when this bird just flies head-on into the windshield! He , uh...passed away. Not the brightest thing for a birdie to do I'm thinkin. Jess (he doesn't know the thing is dead) says, "Dad? We should stop and squeeze that bird!"
Dad says, "What?"
Jess (demonstrating): "You need to squeeze that bird! With your hands!"
Dad: "Squeeze it? Why?"
Jess (in a "well duh" voice): "Because it just pegged our car!!!!!!"
I don't know if it's funny to yall written down, but it was hysterical! He is something funny. I shall probably post again later. Interesting stuff happening ya know!

VERSE OF THE DAY: But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 1 Peter 1:15

MOVIE OF THE DAY: Sense & Sensibility

So we are back!!!!! Hellooo! We made this drive in about 13 1/2 hours which is the best we've ever done!

Yesterday was Dad's birthday and he's 40! He had snowcones instead of a cake. Funfunfun!

We also found out that day that our neighbor had passed away while we were gone:( She was like our grandma and she used to get us a bunch of ice cream and take us to Hardscrabble to swim. Please pray for her husband now.

So I'm back on Dad's computer! I actually haven't touched mine yet. The internet doesn't work for some reason. Anyway it feels good!

I'm finishing Woman in White now. Also reading THE SUICIDE CLUB. Weird sounding huh? Dad got it for me, and whenever I tell Mom about it she says, "What are we letting you read?" It's a little creepy.

Notice the movie of the day. We watched it while we were in CO and we (that is, the girls) loved it! Dad liked it too, but not really Sticks. I won it on eBay this morning too!! Looking for a fitting picture to stick on here....... AHA! Zekey in his new hat!!! Mom and Dad just found it lying on the ground and he looks SOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!

This one's my favorite!<3

VERSE OF THE DAY: Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. Psalm 9:10

BOOK OF THE DAY: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

It turns out I'm not staying longer. Here's the plan:

• We all leave Colorado on Friday

• Dad, Lane, and Sticks go back to Colorado a couple of days after that, while the rest of us stay in Arkansas for the month of August
  
• Arkanesians prepare emotionally to leave AR to go to the Bs house in CO for what may be a long time if we don't sell the house in August.

So that's the plan. I was feeling real homesick yesterday. All of sudden, for some reason or another. *weird* Oo! Check it out! Tagg kids have a Book Review blog!! http://www.readitreviews.blogspot.com/

I guess you noticed the book of the day up there. Mom and Dad got us a bunch of classic novels last night!!! I'm about to go read that one. Since my last post I have read STEPPING HEAVENWARD. Me likey!! I've got a new video in the video section below too. It's my favorite song I do not have. We did end up losing that soccer game:( Waaa!

Leaving AR forever seems REALLY close now!!:( Tell me peoples, what will I miss most about AR? I think I shall now migrate upstairs and read my book. Laying on a bed is the best way to read a book I think. Cya!

Soccer Stuff

A few days ago Sticks got the opportunity to meet somebody in an honorable place in his hall of fame - LANDON DONOVAN!!!!!!! All of you probably don't know who that is (annoying:P). He plays forward on the USA National team!!! Come on!:P:P:P I got to go too, because he's in my hall of fame too, just his picture isn't as big:) I took the camera and got pictures. Sticks got an autographed picture and also snuck up on him and said a few words!!!! WOW!!! Here's one of the pictures taken by me...

He's got Dad's hairdo!:P
So Sticks had a tournament this week with Swoosh. We got a win and two losses and...we play the best team in the state at 2 today. He got 3 assists and a goal. Funfunfun! It wasn't as fun when we lost, but still cool that he gets to play! Mangnay came and watched yesterday then we headed to Emo's for burgers! Yum! One of Sticks's soccer friend's family offered to let us stay with them for awhile so...we might do that and stay for a couple weeks more. Dad just showed me how to get pics off of smugmug, so here's a SWOOSH team picture.

Zeke, Liam, Nate, Riley, John, Diego, Darius, Connor, Sean, Sticks, Connor, Roby, Jake, and Brendan

The kiss to the crowd after Sticks gets his medal:P

I'll let you know how we do today! Go Swoosh!

More on the Cancer Kidz

You've heard about these guys before, and now I'm telling you again! These kids need some backup! That is, lots of prayers!!! Cancer is something awful. Now my Grandma has breast cancer and it made me feel even more for all these victims and their families.

Elijah is 6 years old and he just relapsed with Neuroblastoma, when he's already been through treatment once. He was about my first cancer buddy and as you can see, the coolest one!:P It made me really sad when he relapsed because I had basically watched him all the way through it and rejoiced in his newly-recovered long locks every time I went to his site. He is such a trooper and I can't wait until he's done with this business.

Job McCully is one of my newer pals. He is now 9 and he's been fighting a whole bunch of junk since he was 4. He needs a lung transplant and right now he's in San Antonio waiting for some lungs to be available. Here's a link to his video that will make you think. (It's not youtube or anything): Testimonial (revised 2006)

Here's a sweet little thing huh?:) Savanna Hamm is a whopping 3 years old and is now to my knowledge cancer-free!! I don't really know a lot about her journey through PleuroPulmonary Blastoma, a very rare type of childhood lung cancer, but when I found her site I checked it about every day. I think it's because she reminds me of my three-year-old so much, and I could just not imagine life with him in that situation. She's so adorable and I pray hard she won't be so unfortunate as to relapse like some kids.

Remember that I have all these and more sites linked below! Pray for them much!! Even if you never meet them on earth, they teach you a lot.

A Saturday in Colorado

VERSE OF THE DAY: In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. Jeremiah 29:12-13

BOOK OF THE DAY: ELDEST by Christopher Paolini

Saturday today!!!! Love them!!! Dad made omelets just like he used to when he lived in AR!! They are yummy stuff! We went hiking on a really neat trail and saw wild mountain goats. They would just walk right past us! Like Emy and Grandpa's goats! (Bigger though!) I think they were actually bighorn sheep. We had a lot of fun and took a lot of pictures. Probably post those later! We were out there pretty much all day and when we stopped to get lunch (at 4) We went to this place like subway except it's wraps. They were really yum!

Oh! The other day Mom and I went out to find the public library here. IT WAS AWESOME!!! So big! So many good books! About every book! So elaborate that they have a little coffee shop in there! Not only that, but they let us have a library card even though we don't live here!!! I got ELDEST. It's not bad so far. Yesterday I was absorbed in a very action-packed, violent part in complete silence (You know what it's like) and Mom opens the door and says, "Meggy!" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!(inside of course) I think I might've responded better if she had said, "Gather more reinforcements!!! The Ra'zac are attacking!!!!!":P So there's a few lovley things about CO.

From off the Face of the Earth

VERSE OF THE DAY: Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

BOOK OF THE DAY: When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy

That is in Colorado. Hellooooo! Internet hasn't worked upstairs, so I'm sitting on a beanbag Grandma gave Lane with the lappy listening to Air 1 on the radio. Yes really Nan, Littleton DOESN'T GET IT!!! Kinda sad, but good thing you can listen online!!! Bad quality, but hey. So here's what I've been doing:

There is not ONE SINGLE MORE THING that is gonna fit in our bus!!! Seriously, it is CRAMMED from top to bottom! So we went to Texas and hung out with Nana, Grandpa, Gram, Pawpaw, and Grandma. Funfunfun!! I went shopping with Louie and Nana to an awesome place and got some COOL CLOTHES!!! Waha! I think EVERYBODY loves new clothes!!(Thanks Nana and Gram!:D) So then we went to a Christian Bookstore and Grandpa got me a new book because he knew I had to have them!!!!!!! WHOA-HO!!! (Thanks Grandpa!:D) I got When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy (Hi Britter! I finally got it:P) I freaked out as usual when I get a new book. In fact I read it in the car (which as my best friends know I CAN NOT do) and I finished it way before we got to CO!!! So we slept in Grandpa's guesthouse, which is totally GREAT!!! I think it's my favorite guesthouse, even better than this one we're in right now, but I'll get to that. We big kids stayed up at night with Dad and watched the PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN. Funfunfun! It was Mom's b-day while we were there, and we had white cake AND chocolate cake! I don't think she wants me to say how old she is....:P

Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Tagg's place and saw them and Aunt Mich and Uncle S and Mace and Potato. Mace got big as in bigger than Dad (barely though). Funfunfun for the hours we stayed. Joey had to stay there. I wonder how he's doin...

And we got to CO after Bird threw many lovely fits. So now we're in a three story, three bedroom student housing unit apartment thing. Quite nice! Girls get a room, boys get a room, and Parents & Babies get a room. I've figured out if I had the option of having my own room or sharing with Lane and Lou I would share. There are more +s than -s of sharing a room. It's real fun to read, and listen to the radio, and tell stories, and talk all night! And we have our areas nobody's allowed to touch. So full kitchen and washer/dryer and all that jazz is cool. Sticks has a scrimmage tonight. {Bird just came and kissed the lappy:P} Okiday, I don't think anything else is happening... Oh by the way, pray for my Captain Spy Cousin he just got 9 TEETH pulled!!!!! Gotta be much no good especially at 9 or 10 years old. Yuck I say. Well I may not post as often, but...I dunno. I might. But see yall...sometime!!!

Packing Up!

VERSE OF THE DAY: For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. Psalm 84:11

Movie of the Day: FACING THE GIANTS (I got it yesterday!)

Dad's coming back in just a few hours!!!!!!!! Whoo-hoo!!! Been packing up my junk today. I hope we're allowed to check out books at some library in CO because I'm not taking WOMAN IN WHITE with me. It's not in travelling condition. So while I'm there I'm bookless. I think books are pretty high in my list of things that I need, not just want. I mean, whaddaya NEED ya know, besides your God, your family, your food, and a lifetime supply of books you like!!! So here's the plan:

1. We go to Texas on Thursday. We stay there for....a good smidgen of a bit visiting Grandparents and such and dropping off Jo the Dog. Funfunfun! (They have goats Emy!:P)


2. We set out for Colorado whenever we set out for Colorado:) and drive all day praying Princess Bird survives it again!


3. We're there!!! Whoopee! We stay there for a long time (until sometime before August 1)


4. We drive back. Small chance Bird makes it back without a 5-hour-long symphony this time, but hey, ya know all it takes is a knock out dart!!! (kidding, it takes five sleeves of saltine crackers!) And ya can't blame her, I mean she's too little to engage in interesting conversation or watch a movie or draw a picture or anything!

So I need to go eat. But later maybe I'll tell you about some yesterday and today fun. God Bless!
