Pray for Elijah

Elijah Talley , whose link is below on the side, has just relapsed with neuroblastoma, which is some kind of cancer that I hope I never have to know the meaning of. He is J-man's age and was cancer-free for awhile. I really feel for him and his family. It took me very by surprise. Pray for him MUCH!!! Ya know those rubber bracelets with words on them? He's got yellow ones that say PRAY FOR ELIJAH on them; let me know if you want one.
I REALLY encourage you to check these kid's caringbridge sites. They need lots of prayers and it's almost like knowing them once you check on them every day and let them know you're praying for them. Palmer said that she loved it when people told her that and it made her feel better. They help each other too and ask for prayers for other kids on their websites. They all need prayers, I've got a list of links and you can tease a few more off of their websites. Chase Wellenberger down there has the most I think, and has them all in quite convenient categories: WARRIORS (kids fighting cancer), CHAMPIONS (cancer-free patients), and ANGELS (kids who have gone to be with Jesus on account of cancer). One of the worst things for me to see is a Champion moving to the Warrior's list, or anyone moving to the Angel's list. Once you get to know them and pray for them it makes your day to see somebody new in the Champion's list - and it makes a different kind of day when you have their page up all day refreshing it while a parent posts continually during the 5-year-old's last earthly hours and you finally close it because there's nothing more. Both of which have happened here. They need you to pray for them - make a friend and support a kid...or 2...or 5...or 10!
Pray A Lot! ~Meggy T

Surprise!

Last night I went to Lavender's surprise party. Twas fun! She was surprised! Sad though, because that might be the last time I see her:( We played a musical chairs game, a guess-who-you-are game, and THEY played Jalapeno Pepper Poppers. Eeek! I took pictures. Britter is good at that game, she just stood there with jalapenos in her mouth! Cole wasn't bad either...

When I got home, all the big kidz watched Lord of the Rings. The first one. The BEST one! Sticks konked out after the cave troll, but at least he was in his bed! Lane and I just left Louie snoozing on the couch when we hit the sack.

This morning we watched Joel Osteen. Really good! It was about not stressing out when you can't see God working in your life. Fits the occasion I think... Later we watch FBC. We record that and watch the good part and skip the songs! Heheh! Started Jeff Allen on BANANAS, but now he's paused until after lunch I guess. There's the bell now! Yum! Bye!

Fun Time at Emy's

Yesterday we got to go to Emy's house to play!!! Funfunfun! First all the boys and babies got out too so they could see all the goats and chickens and horses and...the mouse:P They took off after a bit and we Taggirls just hung out with the Emysistergirls all day. We talked, did the deathcrawl, goofed around with animals, and Me, Emy, and her Nan watched Facing the Giants. Fun Stuff!! Now we've got a scheme going....has to do with me....and my house...and Crazy Kay...and Sarah. We'll see how it works. Here's me and said Crazy Kay last year...

Tonight in JO'S BOYS, Tommy Bangs is going to be engaged. I can't wait to see the girl's faces when they find out that they DIDN'T guess correctly!!! They always try to guess who gets married to who. Hardly ever get it right, Louisa May Alcott always surprises people!!! Well, well. Nothing really happened today. Did school. Sticks say that he has a headache. Better go. Bird has a stinky diaper!

Prayer Reminder Videos

Job McCully's website is linked down there this videos is about him. First he went through cancer business, and everything else that could go wrong in his lungs pretty much did. Do you pray for the kids with cancer?
Testimonial (revised 2006):

I don't think I pray for our troops enough. I need to. Watch this video and I think you'll feel the same way. Make sure the speakers are on and you can hear the music too. Do you pray for our troops?

Got to get ready for bed soon. Tomorrow I'll probably tell you about a fun time. You'll need it after crying over these videos!!!

Pray.

Some Things I Do

It is a Sunday without Dad:( Better than Saturday though! We had zucchini bread for breakfast, watched church on TV and peoples are playing outside. I am reading JO'S BOYS out loud to the girls at night. Lovely book! I've read it before, but it's new every time. Now when I'm not reading it to them I'm skipping around in it finding out everything that happens again!! I'm also not very good at keeping things to myself once I find somebody who knows what I'm talking about. Sooooo... Louie now knows some things. I started it by telling her that John Brooke dies, chapters before it actually happened when we were reading LITTLE MEN, now she's pushing for information about who Tommy Bangs ends up marrying and how. I say...no. She IS a good interrogator...or am I just a stinky secret keeper? I flip through every book I read to find out what happens first or as I'm going along. Nothing can surprise me that way! I hate surprises.

Oh, while I was flipping today Zekey was sleeping on my bed. He was really cute:) Until he woke up and started to squall of course!!! Whenever I'm multi-tasking and watching him is involved he falls asleep. On my chest usually! I like to watch Facing the Giants on Mommy's bed that way - he does too! Really! That's the best way to watch a movie because it makes you feel happy:D

Ummm... What else? Nothin? Oh, the BIONICLE show! Of course!!! For those of you who don't know what a BIONICLE is, they look like this:

Little boys build them in all different colors, shapes, and sizes. We have many. The idea for the show came when Jess was sad because he couldn't go out to snowcones when everybody else was. This kid DOES NOT know how to play by himself. He mourned, and the idea of BIONICLES didn't even cheer him up. I told him to build some really good ones anyway and that we would have a BIONICLE show. The eyes got big and, in wonder of what a BIONICLE show was, he ran off and came back later with 3 many-legged plastic creations. I dragged a couple of boxes over and put a blanket over them. He made up a story, had to work on speaking loud enough and hiding his head, as it often popped up to twist the arm in the right direction. He decorated a bunch of little ticket's, lined up chairs in rows, and I made a BIONICLE SHOW sign...then everybody came back. He stood with the tickets and a little cup and watched the pennies go in and the chairs fill up. We were sold out!!:P I thought he was gonna get behind there and make up an entirely new story, but he actually got it almost word for word! It went, "Once upon a time there was a BIONICLE. (Said creature came up and walked along the stage) He was just taking a walk, then another BIONICLE said, "I will fight you!" (BIONICLE with a deep scary voice comes up) "I will beat you!" BASH! BAM! (Clashing and fighting. the second BIONICLE falls) "HA, HA, HA!" says the BIONICLE. Then ANOTHER one comes to fight! (Enter BIONICLE) BASH! BAM! (more fighting and the third BIONICLE falls. The audience cheers) But....(he gets back up) "I'm not dead!" (Fighting. Third BIONICLE falls - dead this time.) Now THIS! (A blue lightning gun finishes off the foe) "Now I'm gonna SIT on em!" (Proceeds to do so and draws a laugh from an amused audience) The end. Applause, applause. He remembered to come out and bow to the people even though we only practiced that once! He was pretty happy and made everybody give their tickets back.

Baby Bubble Bath

Remember the bubble bath pictures we did with Bird? Now Zekey's the sudsy one! Is he adorable or WHAT???

Big Eyes!

Compare the above and below

Do they look alike? I can't tell! Maybe in the eyes...

I'm gonna go make Sarah's mom's oatmeal cookies for tea! Yumyumyum!

Fun Time

Aloha!

Went to the Wingmen's house today. Ready.... drum roll...Jrallen BEAT me!!!!!!! *Gasp!* He has Age of the Empires and I dunno how to play, but not like he would give me any time to figure it out - brought in the boats (he knows I hate boats) and the calvary to thrash me when I was building the little buildings you have to build. Thrashed me in about twenty minutes! I forgive him for this one though, he needed to beat me at something before he had a heart attack:P Haha! Dad used to play that game I remember...but I don't remember how to play, as it was long, long ago. How long Dad? Then we all played Capture the Hat with JT's hat until he hid it and we were too lazy to go in and find it! We switched to swordfighting. It started Wingmen vs. Taggs, but we switched up within the first 5 minutes. Broke the other guard on The Prophetess. Should fix those I guess. Sticks, Jakey, and Stonewall were on whoever's team was losing, then losers would be winners as the number of their men rapidly increased by around 150%. Ate lunch, went home. Funfunfun!

When we got back, we fired up the pool and attempted swim. We got in for ten minutes, froze to death, got out, and laid on the grass to get tan for a long time. It's not that hot out. Now I'm really hungry!!!! Did my hair a new way too. Like it!

Time for dinner almost! Hoooray!!!

Dad Home:D, Happy Mother's Day:) and Bye Bye Soccer Buddies:(

DAD IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoopee!!!! And Happy Mother's Day to all!!!!!
Yesterday Dad took Sticks to his last soccer game with EXPRESS 96. He played good and scored "The second best goal in his career". A nice hard chip over the goalie's head straight into the back of the net. We lost, but it was actually the older EXPRESS team. All just friends. Well, it was the LAST game with those guys so Coach told them to give Sticks a hug or a kiss cuz he was done. Dad got a bunch of friend pictures with them. I was actually pretty sad. Sticks has grown up with a lot of those guys-enemies or friends as rec allowed. Most of them were more like fun business partners to Sticks than friends, but we're gonna miss em. The most ridiculous boys ever, God love em:P Here's the pics:

(Left to Right)Dyl, Code, Kev, Sticks, Mav, Serg, Trev, Rono, Ev, Logana, Dallas, and CC

Then Dad says, "Alright, everybody touch his head!" Bottom row starts hollering "I can't reach!" while the ones that did get ahold of it yell, "Aaaaeew! It's wet!":D (Look at Mav's face! If you zoom in you can probably see the pictures better)

Sticks with Logana. Before Colorado these two planned to be on a pro team together. Maybe they still can be....

Sticks and Code. These 2 were always enemies in rec since they were 4, but on EXPRESS - best buddies!

The 2 Ronaldos: Sergiano and Christiano! Serg fairly recently joined EXPRESS and Sticks likes him a lot!

Sticks and our (big) goalie, Stickyfingers. Sticks AND Dyl and actually moving (it's nice that SOMEBODY else is in the same boat!). This is the "Flee Arkansas!!!! Everybody hates us!!!!" picture!lol

Hope these guys do well without my Dominator there to win for them! They are losing Sticks, Mav the Traitorious, and Stickyfingers our only goalie. I hope some more guys come to help them out! Bye EXPRESS 96! We'll miss you! Win Games! Do well!

Lil sis's Blog!

Lane got a blog too!!! Check it out on the FRIENDS links! We are showing the house to a homeschooling family today. Whoohoo! 1 more sleep until Dad comes back!!! Ya know, if feels weird to say "Dad's coming back for a visit" or to write a letter to your own Dad!:)

PS - How come nobody's commenting besides MnM and Dad? Sarah? Britter? Brother? Lana?

Brain

Went to ACT test place today and I think I left my brain there. I've wheedled it back about to half of where it's supposed to be. The test is hard and we have much homework to do. 2 essays, math test, and a science test. TJ described it as a tube that goes from your book to your brain and vacuums out the latter. Not a far cry!
Life is alright now though. I made myself a bagel egg sandwich for dinner. Yum! Mom told me to watch Andy Griffith - something that requires NO brains! Twas a good plan too! Showing your brain that you don't need it REALLY makes it edge back. We showed the house to some new people today. Whoohoo!
This is the font that Sarah's bro said to use when you write a script. And I am! It's got many many lame lines in it! Oh, well. I'll probably correct THAT script for years and years then eventually get somebody else to correct it and find the lameness for me! Whoever did ERAGON should've done that. "Into the sky, to win or die!" Taha! What is that?! Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy. Oh another cheesy thing while I'm right here. In FACING THE GIANTS when the whole Giants team busts through the banner at the state championship game, the banner says: "SUPPORT THE GIANTS"! That is just funny. Turns out Alex Kendrick just told that team to whip up a banner and that, my friends, is what happens when you leave a set of high school football-loving boys to their own devices lol!
My test scores came in yesterday. I did alright. Not as good as I was last year though. The brain slips away slowly but surely. I guess you just don't have it during your teenage years and then get it again as an adult. Maybe I'm wrong though. Is that right Dad? Or do you never get them back? Lady's mom said you get them back around 40, but I think Mom has brain! God protect your Brain!

Fun Cousins on a Rainy Day

A nice rainy day. The Wingmen came over and played a bit. Beat Jerrjerrod at Red Alert 2. Funfunfun! Sticks showed The Just all his old coins and The Just was newly christened The Salesman b/cuz he had an old coin book that showed you how much everything was worth. Lemme tell ya, Stonewall is GOOD at Battlefront!!! Shocked me unpleasantly. We broke into Jerrjerrod's sourdough bread when they left. It was yum! Nothing much besides that has been going on. Tomorrow we start full swing school. ACT Testing as well. That math is hard. Somebody is interested in our house and we're supposed to hear something today. We've been packing a lot too. And Dad's been looking for houses. Moving is hard work!

You're Blindly Deathcrawling, but very happy, friend,

Meggy T ("I ain't done. I'm just restin a second")

Bottoms Up!

Yesterday night Lane made some pizza for dinner. Mom was cutting the vegetable one (hot by the way) and the crust was a little hard. Before ya know it...SLIP! Top side down on the floor. She said, "Oooooookay" Lane got big eyes, I laughed, and Jess said, "can I pick out the olives?" We left it there until it cooled and then we got Joey to come and clean it up. He didn't do a great job. He's cute though! See?

Earlier I spun Bird around on the computer chair. Being dizzy is a new thing that she didn't like. She yelped and grabbed on to me until she could run around again!!! Haha! We're not doing that anymore!

A Good Song

This one has been playing on Air 1. Not many words, but AWESOME words!

Phil Wickham - Divine Romance

From the album Phil Wickham

The fullness of

Your grace is here with me

The richness of

Your beauty's all I see

The brightness of

Your glory has arrived

In Your presence God,

I'm completely satisfied

Chorus:

For You I sing I dance

Rejoice in this divine romance

Lift my heart and my hands

To show my love,

to show my love

A deep deep flood,

an Ocean flows from You

Of deep deep love,

yeah it's filling up the room

Your innocent blood,

has washed my guilty life

In Your presence God

I'm completely satisfied

New Blog!

Sarah and I have started a team blog for teenage girls! www.girlsofgodthewebsite.blogspot.com Go check it out! I gotta go.

Used Up

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!!!

Moving!

OK, I am posting. Don't have much to say besides what everybody already knew - we are moving to Colorado. I'll try to keep up with this thing and you guys will have to comment and e-mail and write me all the time!!! I'll comment and e-mail and write ya'll all the time too, don't worry! Babysat and did school today. Ronaldo had a birthday. 11 now! I'm calling him "sticks" this year. I am a nick-name queen!!!:P Oh, also went on a photoshoot yesterday!

Sarah - So how did that whole idea for HUNTED end up on film? I think we ALMOST started talking about that one time!

Lady - I fixed it!!:P

Britter and Brother - I told Lana you wanted Call to Battle magazine.

Nemys - Uhhh...Hey!

The Dream

I dreamed the best dream last night. It could be the most powerful christian movie ever I think! Problem is I don't remember most of it. Just the plot. What I remember is that it was about a girl about my age and she's mad at her dad and her mom doesn't care about her and the only person she really thinks she loves is her big brother. Her parents actually end up getting divorced sometime in the dream and she lives with him. So anyhow she's sad and all, she lost all her friends when she tried to truly talk with them about what she was feeling, bad stuff happening all around her, she never sees her brother because he's always out of town, etc. But there's this mysterious older guy that always shows up and talks to her and guides her and tells her about Jesus, the only one who can make life complete. She starts believing him, but it only really pops out at her when her brother gets hit by a car. Then she accepts Christ and prays for her brother. Turns out she never sees the mysterious guy again until he comes back for her and the rest of God's children. Hard to explain but really neat! I was crying through the dream if that's possible. The thing about dreams is you know exactly what going on while you're dreaming them and when you wake up you realize that that it really didn't make any sense and you can't explain it to anybody! Arg. Mom doesn't like dreams. Do ya'll? I need to dream that dream again and remember more of it this time!!!:) When I'm at the point where I can make movies with car wrecks and tornadoes and grown-up, real, actors, that'll be probably the first one I make. I don't wanna compromise this one!

Everything I wrote up there probably doesn't make any sense at all. Oh well. It's still on my mind and I wanted to write it.

Back from the other side of the USA!!!

FUNFUNFUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ski like I'm from Arkansas!!!:P Falling's not bad the getting up is the hard part! I'll probably talk more about it later. Here's some pics! The guys you don't recognize are my cousins. The big guy's Mason and the little guy's the one and only Tatertot. http://thetaggs.smugmug.com/gallery/2580455#135949186

The Explaination

Yesterday we were celebrating Lane's birthday b/cuz we'll be in Colorado on her real birthday. So we made her a treasure hunt thing with clues to find her presents. THOSE letters are the notes to play on the piano to play HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. That was the last clue, the presents were hidden around the piano. She couldn't figure it out so we said, "try playing em". She got it after awhile but that was the hardest hunt we ever thought up! We played BUMP after dinner. That is THE most annoying game ever!!!! Better than most board games, but I'm just not a board game player.

2, maybe 1 day(s) until we go skiing!!!!!!!!!!! FUNFUNFUN!!!

Ronaldo is at a soccer game right now, and this time I stayed at home and Mom went to the game. I just called her and we're winning 1 to 0! Hooray! They had to be at the fields at 7:30 this morning! We usually do TERRIBLE at early morning games. Lets hope everyone else does too!!! We're lookin good this year we started the season off strong. I know I already said that, but it's true! I'm making a soccer movie as the season gets on, I hope it works out. This will be the hardest movie I've ever made and I have to learn how to do music with it a such. Last game I tried to get some footage of Express getting beat and playing bad but I COULDN'T!!!! They were doing great, God love em! I love soccer. I'm coaching Jess's team this year. Should be interesting - fun too! I've got him, 2 little siblings of players on Ronaldo's team, and some other kids I have yet to meet. Hope we're no 1 seed of U-5. J-man was. I don't think he sees any reason to give that up this season!!! They all rock. Ok enough about soccer!:P

Lazy Day...

Ronaldo, the boys, and Dad went to ODP today. I played RED ALERT 2, read a book, and taught my little sisters how to swordfight. Maybe THAT was a mistake!:P Littlegirl is here opening and closing drawers. About one more month till we have a baby boy! Some friends of ours just had one and made me all jealous! Littlegirl just took off and is crying now because I won't let her up the stairs...so I just came back from cuddling her. *Sigh* She's spoiled. Not walking yet.
We had our first soccer tournament of the season yesterday in...Russellville? Well we won both games!!!! WHOOPEEEEEE!!!! Ronaldo scored fourice I think! That's not a real word, you say it Four Times. A little bit boring... but yeah we went out there and froze all day. But it was OK because WE WON! It would NOT be cool if we drove all the way out there and froze and lost! Well anyway we had a good startoff!!!
Who's reading through the Bible this year? Our church has this paper you can get that tells you what to read every day so you can read through the Bible in a year. But I'm not doing that this year. This year I don't wanna feel like "Oh I have to read it because it's on the schedule!" I wanna look at some other versions. NKJ is pretty cool. I have NIV. Beauty and the Pig study is in 2 days. Who started? I'm finished! I feel very ON TIME. I think the males are home. Better get off Dad's computer before he sees me!!! (I'm kidding:P:P:P)

I need to clear something up. I talked with Sarah but here's to everybody else. You probably read that "Update on me post" about 2 posts down about the babysitting and such. My dad told me it looked like I was talking behind other people behind their backs, and just worrying about babysitting for the money, and just overall not sounding like a girl who professes to worship Christ. I am sorry I wrote it that way. I did not mean to do that and when he told me at first I didn't really get it but when I put myself in the reader's shoes it did not sound nice at ALL! So sorry! My point was do your best in whatever circumstance. Turned out as a mistake. *Sigh* Yall know that message anyway! New one: Don't talk naughty about other people! I should probably stick with not talking about other people AT ALL till I get better at that sort of thing. *Sigh again*. I shall try to remember to watch for things from now on but if you notice I DON'T.... TELL ME SO! Dad told me because he figured I'd wanna know what what I said sounds like so I could get right with yall and God. Feel free to do it too! Lord knows I need it! Like that WORD Bekah said I should change because it sounded like a naughty word. Didn't know the word and needed to know. Not the word, but to change it! I probably post a lot of ...questionable things I don't know about. What are friends - and comments and e-mails - for? I'll probably delete that post. Maybe keep it to remind me... Basic message: I posted a bad post. I am sorry about it. Talking about other people mean is not good!

Lots of Luv!

Wesley's first Splinter

It's only fair that I should tell you about Wesley(J-man's alias name)'s first splinter incident. He came in, screaming and crying to me and holding his finger out to me. He had a little sharp stick stuck in the top layer of his little skin. Funny looking. Both ends stuck out the sides. I told him to calm down and got the tweezers. "WHAT ARE DOSE??????!!!!!!"
"Tweezers. They'll get it out for you."
"Is it gonna hurt?"
"A little bit maybe but you gotta be brave!"
"But - I just don't want to die. That is what I do not want to do!" *Oh the drama...*
"I promise you are not gonna die about this. Not a big deal. Just be tough!" He did toughen up and stopped crying by the time we found Mom and asked HER to get it out. "OK. Close your eyes....there. Got it." Not a hurt. Not a tear. He went to get ready to go back outside and I resumed my position in the schoolroom. Only to be interrupted by the little 3-year-old J-dude screaming and crying to me. "Not another one!" It wasn't. He had been sitting in the deck corner in a subdued little pile crying about Joshua's accident. Obviously neither of them had ever seen anything like it. He got to look at the remains of the accident and everybody went back outside and lived happily ever after until Mayfee threw a fit and hurt himself two minutes later. Things are normal around here:)

I have done the superhero test and I am... dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada - CHING! GREEN LANTERN!!!!! Not that cool because I dunno who he is or what his power is or anything! Somebody help me! Brando, my brother is a lot like you....he's Robin too LOL! I am 66% Robin. Only 50% Hulk that's for Bekah. I'm only half like you girl!:P Wesley is the mild mannered Superman. But we all guessed it. It fits him so well! Take the test here: http://www.thesuperheroquiz.com God Bless beloved readers!!! Meggy T

An Update on Me

Just finished school. Sitting in my room typing on the Lappy-Pie. Just got up and closed the door because I am listening to the Facing the Giants soundtrack on the Internet. Might wake up the boys. It doesn't play the whole thing of the songs. But it sure beats buying it! :P Right now its on the deathcrawl music. Coooooool! I like the Brock Kelley guy. And the black JT coach. Still have my hat on from babysitting due to naughty hair. All-girl high school fellowship tonight! OK this not whole song thing is getting annoying. Hey get a taste of what I'm listening to while you read this @http://facingthegiants.com/dvdsoundtrack.php .
Anyhow babysitting. The family I babysat for today have 2 boys that are 3 and...something months old. Just angel boys! I only have the baby right now and he sleeps most of the time. Anyway I get like 7 bucks an hour for sitting around, and they have a clean house, the mom's super nice, she picks me up and takes me back, and they have a HUGE tv! That's the life people!:) Anyway, so I babysit over there like I'm babysitting with the president looking over my shoulder as you can imagine. Now lets go the opposite. I also babysit for another family that have a little boy who is the new meaning of torture. They always leave dishes for me to do, I am scared TO DEATH of the mom, My mom has to drop me off and pick me up, and I get 3 or 4 dollars an hour for hard labor. NOT very cool. Well I babysit over there like the devil's looking over my shoulder with pity in his eyes or something ya know what I mean? Some kind of martyr or something. Well so I do what I have to do and yesterday while little Eas is yelling up my ear and I am pretending I don't know who he is I was thinkin, "I do NOT have to do this good. They don't pay like they want good service. I do not have to do this at all." My parents think that too. But God said to me, "I had men who were older than 3 years old screamin at me with swords and scary weapons in their hands." Kinda like that. Not really. The point is He said He wanted me to babysit like He- and the president were looking over my shoulder. So I had to change my attitude while I defeated that miniature nightmare of a wildman:P I wonder if Jesus had to watch that little dude He would ignore him or give him the"rod of correction?"LOL!
BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO SKI IN COLORADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 big kids and Dad. Gonna be big fun!!!

Oh here's the link you wanted Britter: http://thetaggs.smugmug.com

You wanna hear something funny? SHE GIVES HER FISH A BATH!!! I'm nought keeding!!! After she cleans the tank she takes her beta and runs him underwater scrubbing him! I mean, everybody knows ya don't put a dirty fish in a clean tank right?:P Halmony (great-grandma) is awesome! She speaks like no English but she understands it. She went to Ronaldo's soccer practice and fell over backward in the miniature lawn-chair thing....and got up laughing hysterically!! She's uh....almost 100 years old! Quick as a cat! Don't let her fool ya!:P Speaking of Ronaldo his alias name is currently Wedge. He wanted something that sounded less suspicious...Heheh. I'll probably forget and use Ronaldo. So for those of you who were confused with Ronaldo and STILL don't know what I'm talking about...tough luck!!:P My alias name is Ivy for now. Wedge gave it to me. Tell me if you think up something better.
By the way, the Colts rock! Have to say I freaked out preety bad when that guy first TOUCHED the ball and took it ALL THE WAY DOWNFIELD to the end zone. Can I get an Uh-huh? Anyone.....no? Dad? IvyMeggyJesusChick

Hanging out

House-cleaned today. Just made some no-bake cookies that Britter gave me the recipie for yesterday. Yumyumyum!!! We're gonna have them for tea. Now I'm not really doing anything. It's all settled... 2:00 tomorrow at JC Penney's my hair is coming off at the hands of Brooka:P Wheehee! I hope I'll like it. I know I probably won't at first it takes me awhile to get used to it!!! I'll cry probably even!

Real fun and true Newsboys song:

Newsboys - Wherever We Go From the album GO
Wherever we go, bluebirds sing And the flowers bloom And the grass gets green It’s a curious thing But it’s just our thing

Wherever we go, the bees behave In the treetops, squirrels smile and wave It’s a curious thing And it’s humbling

Where we go, little glow-worms glow Little roadrunners run ahead. Gonna tell their friends Little mice, little men Get ‘em all excited All invited

Chorus:

Hands up Holler back here Let’s throw this party in gear We brought the welcome mat. Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at. Hands up Holler back now We don’t claim any know-how. We’re giving God all that. Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

Wherever we go, the dumb get wise And the crime rates drop And the markets rise It’s a curious thing But it’s just our thing

Bullies make nice, crooks repent And the ozone layer shows improvement It’s a curious thing And it’s humbling

Wherever we’re led All the Living Dead Wanna leave their Zombie Mob. It’s a touching scene when they all come clean God help us, we just love our job!

(Chorus)

Another Meltal-mouth!!!

Lane got BRACES TODAY!!!!!!!! Just the top. Red and pink for Valentine's Day just like I did! They were kinda sore tonight at dinner so we made her fruit into a smoothie. Yummy! That made everybody else want one too so the blender was humming and boys were slurping and everybody was talking while YOU were eating a nice, quiet, normal dinner with your family lol!:P Making a wooden sword right now. Big and pretty cool. Painted half the blade silver today. How's school going? Not bad here! It's settled: I am going probably on Friday to get my hair cut like Britter's at JC Penny. Kinda scary losing all that hair so quick! Mom's gonna highlight it in red after that. She did Laura's and Mrs. Jodie's the other day and it turned out pretty good! Almost done reading ROSE IN BLOOM. Like it lots! Anyone read it? Read 8 COUSINS then you should! Reading UNDER THE LILACS out loud. So funny and cute! Anyone read MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS? Sounds 2nd grade I know but Mom says it's actually pretty funny! Think we'll read that one next.

Something cool to do with sibs is have like a crack in the dresser or something that paper fits in and call it your mailbox. All of us girls have one now. Haven't gotten mail yet we just set it up yesterday. Weather has been kinder of late. Farethewell! Rambley Me.

The Case for a CREATOR part 1

Our Pastor has started this awesome series called "the Case for a Creator". It's a thing on Creation vs. Evolution I'm gonna give ya notes on. He acually started 2 weeks ago, but I'm getting around to putting it on here. It'll probably happen again sometime!

PART 1: "Creation: It's Foundational"

The Bible has Foundations

First is the doctrine of Creation
Second is the doctrine of Resurrection
What happens if these 2 doctrines fail?
If man just "happened" then:
There is no Creator
There is no eternal home
Death is the end of all things
There is no moral absolutes
There is no accountability to a higher authority
Life has no meaning
(Not very pleasant thoughts huh.)

The Alternative to the Creation Account is Darwinism or Evolution

The goal is to destroy in the heart's of men the concept of creation
This is a major goal of the enemy
Man is relieved of the idea that he is under any ultimate authority
Man is relieved of the idea that he is under any ultimate accountability
Man becomes a creature of chance rather than being created in the image of God (So we're just nobodys and this life is it?)
Absolute truth and absolute moral standards are erased
We see the effects of this in our culture today on every hand
It is the basis of a divided culture over so many issues
This issue is the root issue of our time

Indoctrination of Culture

Look closely
It is woven into the fabric of much of our secular education
Not just in biology or sciences
It even effects the way we interpret history, and makes revisions of history
Our children are under the influence and so are we
Media, enertainment and basic culture are inundated with the idea of evolution (Tell me about it)
The most damging ideologies and movements of the 20th century can be traced to Darwinism
The dots can be connected to Marx and even foundational ideas in Hitler's ideology

The Current Condition of our Time

Generally, people still believe that human life is special
People still hold to basic Biblical morality
That love is a virtue
That service and kindness is better than cold blooded domination
But to whatever degree our secular society holds to these things, it does so without spiritual foundation
Today, even many in the church seem to be too intimidated and embarrassed to defend the Biblical account
The church is confused by the mutitude of "authoritative voices" who insist the Bible is either allegory or mistaken
Some are reduced to accommodating the world with a theistic evolutionary position

It's Just a Theory

Naturalism'd formula for the orgin of the universe is: NOBODY + NOTHING=EVERYTHING (that brought a laugh)
What about the big bang?
What was the cause of the big bang?
What went BANG?
Where di the bang substance come from?
How did order come out of chaos? ( Have you ever wrecked your house SO bad everything was where it goes?)
How did beauty and design come out of random chance?
How did life come out of non-life and death?
Who designed the many complex organisms?
Who designed the sophisticated eco-systems?
Where did intelligence come from?
Does the universe have an impersonal intelligence of it's own?
Where di the Laws of nature come from?
These are all basic unanswered questions that are quickly swept aside
The naturalist has an array of insurmountable problems to explain

Naturalism and Modern Culture

Thanks to evolution naturalism is now the dominant religion
Naturalism has replaced Christianity as the main religion of the western world
Evolution is the central doctrine of this religion
*It is religion because it is based on faith
*The idea that natural causes can account for the orgin of all life and order has never been and never will be proven (Amen to that!)
*Science deals with what can be observed and reproduced by experimentation
*The orgin of life can neither be observed or reproduced in the lab
*Belief in evolution is sheer faith (Takes more faith to believe everything "happened" than to believe in an all-powerful Creator!)
*But modern naturalism is extremely evangelistic is the propagation of evolution


I'll post the other one later. Time for tea and I have hand cramps!:P Meggy T

Shopped yesterday. Funfunfun! Afterwards Dad & Lane met us for Andy's concert @ Sweet Bay. Funfunfun too! He's good!

Been thinking..."what was I created for?" If you were to die right now what would you have accomplished in your life? Don't think I'm dying anytime soon because if I did there would not have been a whole lot of reason for God to go and create another person for what I did. OK that did NOT make sense! Point of the last sentence was I don't think I've done anything spectacular. Or maybe I have and don't know it. So if I die tomorrow just know I'm asking God what His idea was in putting me on earth!

Little side note I've been meaning to put but pretty late. If you don't care about football skip this part. Brett Favre is gone forever.Weeping and sadness! After playing as #4 QB for the Green Bay Packers for........somthingteen years! How shall the man ever be replaced? Who's gonna be my favorite player now? Ah well. I guess the age of Peyton Manning has arrived!:P Whoever my favorite is it's their age - whether they stink or not! How come my favorite team doesn't do so good? The teams I don't like end up being STARS! I mean what's with the Steelers anyway? Enough of this.

May God richly bless you and protect your favorite Quarterbacks from the vile serpent RETIREMENT!!!:P

Meggy T

Like the Picture?

It is me on my new throne on Christmas Day. Dad set it up last night. Turns out I tried to put a little banner thing on it and apparently put it in the wrong spot. And.....it messed everything up! Dads are handy! Haven't posted in awhile.
As of right now I cannot get to anyone's xanga. I hope to soon! Keep commenting people! Was gonna party with Britter but she got sick! Rats! Are you better yet? Went to Book Study at the Wingmen's instead. Still fun! Can't wait until the next high school fellowship! Should be even more fun!
I am currently reading a book all girls have GOT to read! AUTHENTIC BEAUTY by Leslie Ludy. Got it for my b-day along with I KISSED DATING GOODBYE by Joshua Harris I think. Haven't started that one yet. Glad its Saturday. Wet and Rainy and Nice. No school. Ahhhhh... To whoever's idea it was to have two rest days I think it is great idea. I bet everybody loves their Saturdays!!! Speaking of great ideas, I think somebody should invent an everything pot. So you don't have to wash 2 dozen different ones. Ya know, microwaveable, ovenable, stoveable, etc. (Meggy language):P
I go! Be Blessed

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Just as we get used to writing "06" we have to write "07"! Wingmen came over last night and we ate better than we did on Christmas! Meatballs and Hot Wings and veggies and chips and dips. Can't forget brownies! We ate and talked then we all played Apples to Apples and JA won. Pretty fun anyway!:P We talked the Dads into playing Lord of the Rings Trivia with us. Mr. Wingman & Dad were on a team, JT and Ronaldo were on a team, Lane and I were on a team, and JA was on a team. His own team. Think he liked that. So we have the Dads, The boys, the ladies, and the JA. The Dads were saying that they weren't very good but after they took 5 minutes to answer each question they got most of them right! But the boys were the first ones to acually get a FOR THE WIN question! Dad was saying, "I'd be so funny if they won!" But they got their question wrong. Should've seen JT's face!:D Ladies got one next and I dunno what happened. It was an easy one too and we missed it! Then the Dads got theirs and got the easiest one of all and they got it. Yelling and dancing and jumping and escatcy! I'm glad JA just didn't win and he was glad I didn't. So the games go on! They left aroud 11 and we watched Ice Age The Meltdown for the rest of the time. Funfunfun! It's another year closer until Jesus comes back! Comment me!

PS - Just thinking. Can gnats see germs? I mean us to a gnat has gotta be somewhere around the same as a gnat to a germ. Comment me on THAT!

Meggy T

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?

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!
