I love these little girls! (And my little brother of course) 

                                        Amelia, me and Brynn  looking quite adorable in the rain. 

               Me and Amelia....She is so cute! Maybe I am just a sucker for her AMAZING brown eyes....

                                                                brynn and I

                                           And then I just thought this pic was pretty priceless.

                                                  What a dumb chicken! LOL

First of all I want to say "Happy Birthday!" to one of the best people I know!!! 

(Old pic. But its like....The only one I could find!) 

Still working on getting her Birthday declared a national holiday so I get it off of school....But I guess its special enough now. Lol....I love you Madi. 

And then....

Me ^^^ Chopping wood. ( :-o ) 

I broke the axe handle....=/ Ops. What a heart breaker! 

So today, for the fun of it, I looked up how much I am supposed to weigh for my height. I then discovered (to my horror) I weigh 20lb under my "goal" weight. Stink...What an un-lucky day! First the axe...from my amazingly strong arms of course. And now, I am too Skinny. Well as far as I can see I think I can fix both of these problems. So I am going to take Brooke's wise advise. 

Chat with Brooke: 

Brooke: I can just see it now.

  I will eat this icecream, I will, I will.

  I need five doughnuts.

  I do, I do.

 me: Lol

 Brooke: I will not WALK over to kitchen, I will ask someone to bring that milkshake to me. 

You're grossly underweight and you broke the axe handle.

  You are having a run of bad luck

 me: Hahaha

I know....

  I'm just gonna have to deal with it though.

  I wonder what God could be trying to teach me

  OH I KNOW!

  Eat more and work less

  Glad I figured it out.

                        Brooke: Yes... otherwise it could just keep being bad

. You are so smart. 

 
Man, I'm jealous of your brains Bean~

  Hahaha

  I'm jealous of a beans brains

  

  

  

I think I get all the best advise from Brooke. ;-) 

Oh and she is jealous of [MY] brain, which is just special! Poor her. Of all things to be jealous of she could have at least picked something that worked! Hehehe 

Then, I GOT to be apart of rescuing Missy. After her dumb car just "up-and-died" on her I got a call to come save her. I felt like a knight in shining Mini-van. We then towed her the mile and a half home.

And that...was my day! It was exciting. =D 

Mornings.....

Now, no matter what *anyone* has told you (Aka....my family) I am completely and totally a morning person. I know this because my completely warped and un-refined sense of humor even cracks me up. So this morning per-usual I get up and we read the bible. And after that I got some coffee and went out to start being a good influence on my little brother by doing school like the good little children we should be, but normally aren't. (hehehe. Jk) Ten minutes into school Jonathan looks over at me sipping my liquid happiness and says "That's my coffee. From yesterday!" Now, I really just thought we was being a typical little brother by saying crazy things that normally annoy me. So I just played along and said "Oh? well...Its coffee. Its still good." (and for the record...I am not known for just going around drinking from random cups laying around) Jonathan: "But, it had sugar in it. Lots of sugar!!" Me: "Well, sense its been like 28 hour and has just been sitting here all the sugar has probably settled on the bottom" So, right. I am drinking my little brothers day old coffee, which, btw managed to stay hot the whole time. After about 20 more minutes Jon gets up and goes out to the kitchen and comes back out with a knife and stirs my coffee. While I stared on in amusement....So now, I apparently have "day old-sweet-jonathan" coffee and Im still happily drinking it because...."Its coffee. And we cant waste it."

Typical morning?? Or not.

Now, no matter what *anyone* has told you (Aka....my family) I am completely and totally a morning person. I know this because my completely warped and un-refined sense of humor even cracks me up. So this morning per-usual I get up and we read the bible before mom has to leave to baby-sit which Oh-so-lovingly volunteered to drop her off at. After I got home I got some coffee and went out to start being a good influence on my little brother by doing school like the good little children we should be, but normally aren't. (hehehe. Jk) Ten minutes into school Jonathan looks over at me sipping my liquid happiness and says "That's my coffee. From yesterday!" Now, I really just thought we was being a typical little brother by saying crazy things that normally annoy me. So I just played along and said "Oh? well...Its coffee. Its still good."

Me: "Well, sense its been like 28 hour and has just been sitting here all the sugar has probably settled on the bottom" So, right.

After about 20 more minutes Jon gets up and goes out to the kitchen and comes back out with a knife and stirs my coffee. While I stared on in amusement....So now, I apparently have "Jonathan's day-old-sweet coffee" and Im still happily drinking it because...."Its coffee. And we cant waste it." I finally finished it and Jonathan says. "Ha, you know I was kidding the whole time right?" Hehehe....Me too. But I never told him that. Now he just thinks I am either really brave...Or a complete idiot. Probably the later. But it was Fun. Don't we look like we have fun? :-D 

Dear World....

Dear World,
Just so you know, my sisters...YES, the ones I haven't seen in real life for a whole year, those ones...Are coming home to see me in ten days. And I am excited. So, I made a paper chain counting down the days to when they get here.

Every day I tare on off, meaning one less stupid paper ring standing in my way of seeing my, now Asian-ised sisters. In the mean time, I am working...Well, if you can call it working. :-p 

And also killing time by taking retarded pictures. 

Like my scarf?? 

And also, of course planing mischievous things.... 

I know...Its shocking right? I can hardly believe it myself! But don't worry...I didn't to anything to awfully horrid. ;-)

OK, and then a good story! It all started by this horrid thing called "baseball".  But anyways, on Sunday there is this little boy, Ethan, at church who is at all the baseball games, where I play with him. And anyways during one of the songs he turns around and looks at me. So I stuck my tongue out and winked at him. Thing is...His dad turned at that moment to correct him and have him look forward and saw me do it. Opps. Oh well. So anyways last night at the ballgame Ethan comes up to me and right out of the blue says "My dad says when a girl sticks her tongue out at you it means they like you!" It kinda took me a minute to figure out what he was even talking about. But of course I did and said "Why, Ethan! Of course I like you!" Then he ran away, and I cracked up laughing. Poor Kid. And I know its probably wrong to enjoy that so much but I did. It is one of those moments that will never cease to make me "Lol". 

Anyways, Such is my life~  

I did. Could you?

You've probably heard that there is a bond stronger then friendship. So I thought I would prove it. Once upon a vacation Brooke wanted me to do her hair. Braids, twist, curly, straight....We have seen those all before! Well, honestly you have seen this before too...But not on B~. So it will be like a whole new experience for everyone. Who knew what Brooke could literally look hot however her hair was? I do now. Never underestimate the power of a good personality. Because honestly, what other kind of person would ever let me do there hair like this? Brooke you are such a good sport! She even let me take a picture~

Now answer honestly. Could you get Brooke to do that? No......? She must really love me.

Ivan'ing

This is my "super happy" Ivan face, I think its getting better. It has had 32 hours in the last 3 days to practice. By the end of this week? Yeah, it should be fantastic! If I don't go nuts first....which I might. 

But not until after I finish this amazing book I got really in to! 

And then...

This is the face that I have when people as me what I "do" and I get the pleasure of telling them my job description. And man, (after that) their face is not as cute as mine. ^^^ 

Working...

So you wont believe this, but I get paid to sit. Yes...its true! I am so much of a in-the-way person people actually pay me to stay out of the way. Well, not exactly. But That is a more fun way to think of it. Really what I do is take care of an elderly gentlemen who is 86. But because I phrase it in such a humorous way some people don't actually think I 'work'. But that is Soo not true. I worked really hard. Especially yesterday!  This is me, and what I did all day.....While keeping an eye on him. 

And this is what I was doing by the end of the day.

Now, you might think that there is not problem here, but there was! I had to go. But it was the evening and he had had 2 Therapist and a nurse come and do exercises with him. So he was tired and confused. So here is the deal. If he gets up I have to walk behind him so if he falls he not only gets hurt but I get crushed too. And when he is confused he likes to walk around his house 'looking' for stuff. (yesterday is just so happened to be a box with stuff in it he needed to make copies of.) [Don't ask.] And after he found it he was going to be ready to go. Well, I eventually talked him into waiting for his daughter to get him so she could take him. Then we sat down and watched Tv. Every time I got up he would start to get up thinking it was 'time to go...' So I had to sit there. And sit. And sit. Finally, after like an hour of sitting, he fell asleep. So you see, I do work! 

We dragged Monday into the long weekend~

First of all you need to know that I L.o.v.e taking pic's with my lil bro Jonny! Anyways here is one/two of us. There are taken 3 years apart and I don't think we have changed a bit! At least not mature wise...And we can def. still make all the same expressions! Love this boy~ 

Then of course, Sunday we went to church, where we debated whether or not to behave....

I know you'll be relieved to know we did, after all...decide to behave. 

But that doesn't mean we didn't have fun! ;-) (Lots!) 

This is Jonathan practicing his...Well you actually don't want to know what look this is! 

And then of course...

I love taking pictures with Missie...because we make each other look so down right adorable. :-) And we know it! 

And then today I did every girls favorite thing! 

Well...Maybe not every girls and *definitely* not mine. But its "officially" my job. And I don't understand why! I would say I don't "know" why, but I do...But I can still not understand it.  Once upon a Saturday no one wanted to stain. I had a choice between stripping wallpaper or staining wood. I chose staining wood...(go figure) I didn't like it....At all. But I did a nice job because 'I only had to do it once' Errr...So I thought. But after today I decided I needed to learn to do bad jobs and things I don't like so I don't have to keep doing them! Guess I am just to good of a person~ Ahh....oh well! I am the one who has to suffer. So now, I can add "Goood stainer" to my, yet short, list of "I can do's" Haha.... 

Me and Jonny Love being dorks also....! And later tonight? Well...We are making Monday better by having ice cream and a movie. But....you probably don't want pic's of that..... ;-) Haha

All in a day...

 Today we had our first 80 degree day! And sense I love working outside so much...I got a ton done! first of all and most important I got a SUNBURN! God bless the Sun. Second I baby-sat A LOT! Decided again that I will never be ready to be a mother. Thirdly I hung a hammock. Fourthly (if that is a thing)  I cleaned and cleaned and burned a bunch a stuff outside. And then....My favorite part! I was so stinkin' creative.We didn't have s'mores! Can you believe it? I couldn't either. And you just cannot burn a bunch of stuff and not have s'mores! Well, I can live without graham crackers, And chocolate. But if you cant even roast marshmallows life is sinking pretty low! I was scanning the cupboard in almost total despair when I saw them! Mini marshmallows! I was negative towards the idea at first, but after the first stick full of the delicious burned/gooey things I was totally sold. True, it is like 10 times harder to put them on a stick you had to search and search for that was thin enough for them. But honestly...I think they tasted 10 times better. Probably because by the time it was done I had worked up an appetite, but that is beside the point. Anyways, I think everyone should try mini-marshmellow-melted things. And then of course fifthly, I blogged. (Is it to weird to mention that? It's kinda like someone writing a book about their life story and putting in there that they were writing a book =/ )  Enjoy~


                                                                           My Fire.

                                                                   See how Happy I am?

                                                                        I think its love~

                                                      I also made a table....:-)

                                 How many people do you know who can rock red shoes?

                                                            Where I now happily sit. :-D

Finding the perfect gift~

Today I had to write a 150 word paper. My original was 207! I was impressed with myself. So, they gave me a list of things to choose from. Such as "Baby-sitting." Or "Best family vacation" But...I decided that I actually knew about that and I should do something I knew nothing about, so I could make it all up and sprinkle imagination into it. So I choose "Finding the perfect gift for someone you have never met before" Now...No one could ever know to much about this. My finishing product was actually quite humorous that I decided to share my result with the world so they can use my technique also. (And then let me know if it works)  So here it is 8 steps to finding the perfect gift.

Finding the perfect gift. 

Step 1.) Go to the store

Step 2.) Pick out 10 things that you would get for yourself or your best friend.

Step 3.) Rule out all clothes!! 

Step 4.) Rule out all the things you would Not get for you own mother. 

(Such a thing would not be appropriate for a stranger) 

Step 5.) (If there is anything left) Rule out the more expensive items that would represent them being your "best friend". 

Step 6.) Now you have the remaining 2-3 items. Rule out the ones that might break or shatter.

Step 7.) Purchase remaining item.

Step 8.) Pray! And hope for the best

(Flip side for help if receiver of gift is male) 

^^^^^^^

No, my paper actually said that! Only I have to admit my flip side was empty. :-) 

My creativeness well had run dry by then. Or...My self control was just kicking in! YOU will never know.

I will let you all know how this works out one day. For now...enjoy the suspense! I will....

                 

My scarring experience.

Today our little 6 and 7 year old charges scarred me. I didn't actually think it to be possible, but it happened. And I SO did not see it coming. They were doing their school on our lovely Monday morning, when it all happened. Daniel ( the six year old ) said  "Oh...How do you write a six? Is it like this? (drawing something that was Not a six)" Now you would not think anything slightly educational like this could scar someone like me. But wait! This story goes on when his older sister said "No. Daniel! Don't you remember? Its the pregnant semi circle" OF ALL THINGS! It caught me so off guard that I didn't even think to laugh. My imagination had never warped a six to look like a pregnant semi circle EVER before. And now it wont stop! I now have to laugh. A six will never look the same to me ever again. But I should tell you as a slight justification for this totally weird statement in their defense, that their mother is a Midwife/Doctor so I can see why this would make sense and be a completely normal way to look at a six. However...I am still scarred. Oh dear.... =/  Haha...Anyways here are some pics from this week. Happy Monday! 

We went for a hike up the hill. I am the brave person in the back. And at the top of the hill was a bench

                                             Where we rested for a good long time....

                                                                          This is probably what we think of you.

 

It was cold. We love to cuddle! :-)

                                                                    
                                      And in my free time....I drew about the thing I was wasting

                                                                            The End.

Ice Skating!!

Today in Ice skating I got to watch my little brother jump in a harness. Basically jumping on puppet strings. Now, What older sister does not like to see her little bro on puppet strings?! So I had to take pictures! :) 

                                        Jonathan and I watched tangled. This is his "Smolder"

                                                     Jon,                 Me                 And Missy

                                        Jerena           Tiff                  Missy          Dorkus


All in all....It was a great afternoon. And the best part? Today was only a small part of a life still mostly un-lived. So, I get to do MORE stuff like this! And that is exciting.

Spring~

Spring is here and so are our chicks!

Believe it or not...I actually thought they were cute till it pooped on me. Bye-bye cuteness factor! You didn't stand a chance! For the time being (thank-goodness for ONLY the time being) they are living inside. I am sure Jonathan thinks they are pets. But don't worry...That horrid train of thought was lost on me! They are not my pet....No, he can keep them. (I Prefer fried) ;-) Inside our house sounds like the woods. Very (and I mean literally) Chipper. THANK-GOODNESS the roosters don't crow yet! But...anyways, Jonathan named his 'pets' Roo and Ster ( is that clever or what?) Jumper, Snow white(???),   Rocketa (she rocks?) So on and so forth. I tried to talk him into names such as "Chicken Nugget" or "Rotisserie" But he ignored me. He did let me name the youngest one "Fillet" though. Thus : The pictures. This is "My" chicken. He let me keep it. Poor thing though without Jonathan's care....would surely die. 

Signs of my influence on the kids.... uh oh!

This is Josiah....

I taught him to be cool.  

                                                                   And also how to....

 chain up Jonathan 

And....also

The "I know what you are thinking, and I like it!" look.

                                                                            
                                                                              AND....

          The "Don't tell me...I already know how C.U.T.E I am!" look.... ;-)

And then there is "Baby Steven" He liked my glasses too... ;-) 

I don't know if there parents will really be happy of all I have "taught" there children in the last week but....If they are lucky their kids will turn out to be as good as...Well, Hopefully better then I did. 0:)
