Well anyway, tomorrow we are going out on the lake on a boat and apparently, WATERSKIIS!!!!! I'm SO excited!!! Hooray for  family reunions!!!

>:) The evil smiley face >:)

Soooo, I had a bit of an adventure today:

Well, I was left at home again by myself by my overly busy mom and my siblings were gone every which way too. So, I kind of went a bit crazy >:) I took sharpies to the eggs and drew and wrote on them. But I didn't stop there, I drew a BIG happy face on the milk carton. Then I made a sign and stuck it to a shelf, it said:

Hi there! I bet you're wondering what else I colored on in your fridge...

Yeah, it was funny when Alyvia came home and saw it. We both just laughed! And then my mom gave me a really funny look when she came home and saw the happy milk, the evil smiley face sign and I told her to look at the eggs in the cartons. Heehee, it was fun! I told her "That's what you get for leaving me alone!" I took some pictures:

In the beginning there were sharpies and two egg cartons...

A sideways look at a funny evil grin (It looks like I'm a pirate!)

drawing...

Some the best ones (I suggest you get a closer look)

That is the happy milk I mentioned...(he's saying "Hi there!")

This is the sign...(and the evil eyebrows are missing from the picture)

And lastly, the ominous and elusive worker of fridge craziness...
BUAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, so there's this blog my friend and I started a couple years ago.  The whole idea was to discuss things that we thought were important.  After I went to Paradigm, the idea didn't seem as important anymore because adults and others actually listened to what we had to say, but now that we're kind of all splitting off a bit, I think it'd be good to fire this blog back up.  If you ever have any ideas that you want to talk about, post about it.  I'm giving you all author rights.  The site is http://www.tootsierevolution.blogspot.com/.  <3 ya!

Nevermind

I have joined a writing group called "Nevermind". If you girls know Clellie, she's the one who started it. If you are interested in joining to have motivation to write and stuff, we would love more people! I'm excited because I am now going to write and once a week I have somewhere fun to go! My posts are pretty short but that's what I'm up to! :D

EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!!

As some of you know... I have been looking for a friend for Sophie. Last night at Young Womens, James came running up to me and declared (P.S were having a camp kick-party in a neighbors backyard) "LEIGH!!!! WE MIGHT BE GETTING DAISIE TONIGHT." I was, like, "What? Who on earth is Daisie?" Anyway... making short a very exciting moment where all the YW found out what I was REALLY like, James said "That dog that you were trying to get!" So here is the story. Before we left on our trip, my mom's friend was trying to find a home for her little coton de tulear. (look it up! they are really cute. I'd never heard of this dog before I looked it up) My Mom called her friend on Tuesday and asked what she was going to do with the dog. Jana (my mom's friend) said that she had given the dog to the neighbor, who had a dog from the same litter. I don't know who was more disappointing, my mom or me. We were kinda sad. But we were glad that the dog was happy so we were happy for the dog. Last night as I was at YW, my mom got a call that things hadn't worked out with the neighbor. Daisie kept digging out of her yard and going to Jana's. So the neighbor decided to give her up. So we now have a itty bitty dog that is a friend to Sophie now! Gaby is going to take pictures tonight, so I'll put pictures up of the two of them. Sophie is huge while Daisie is super small. It's funny when they are together because Sophie is so HUGE, while Daisie is so small. It's cute. Erica, she is smaller than Churo, and Kimberly, you will get to see my doggies! My mother is telling me to get off now. :)

first date

Well, I did it. I went out on a group date. It was really fun! the "couples" were Alyvia and Alex, Andrea and AJ, and Me and Josh. But it wasn't really "couples" because we did pretty much everything together. It wasn't awkward or "stay with your date" we all just hung out. But it was cool to hang out with boys. Talking to them is a skill I need to develop and learn. You are probably wondering what we did. We went to the Cougar Lane park and had a picnic, then we played all sorts of games: different kinds of tag, we made sand box tunnels, we played duck duck goose in the sand which made for much falling down. And in that game Alex became protective of his spot, so if you "goosed" him (so to speak) then you had better first back up to avoid his hand swiping back and then run for you life. =P it was pretty funny! Then we came home and watched "How to Train you Dragon". Did you see that one before you left? It's a good one! And Josh hadn't seen it!!!!!!! And because we didn't know that, we accidentally ruined the ending...oops. :/ I am really thankful to Alyvia for setting it all up and helping me have a great first date!

COMPLETE AND TOTAL IDAHO UPDATE!

Okay.  So for those of you who don't know, I am in Idaho, as Matt and my parents went to Hawaii.
AND I AM NOW SIXTEEN!!!!!!!!!WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Now that that's out of the way, MAN, we've done so much in Idaho. 
On my birthday, grandma treated me to a pedicure, and now my nails are smothered with the kind of polish that never comes off (like, if a H-Bomb dropped on our house, there would be nothing left but my toenails, that's how strong it is).  That was a lot of fun, and then we went ICE SKATING!  Most of my siblings had never been before, but we had tons of great times.  Everything was going great, but Grandma finally pulled everyone off the ice (there was hardly anybody there, seeing as Boise kids aren't out of school yet), and gave me five minutes just to skate by myself.  Naturally, I went as fast as I could possibly go, tried a few fancy things, and probably just looked really stupid, but was having fun, when it was time for me to get off.  I thought I'd end with a bang, so I got up to full speed, trying to savor the wind in my hair while I could, and the pick of my skate dug into the ice.  I swear, everything went in slow motion.  There was a lady there with her two kids, and they turned around all dramatically and their eyes got really big and the little boys scattered so I wouldn't hit them.  I got about two seconds of air, then slammed on the ice on both knees, although the left one got the brunt, and ended up flat, sliding across the rink on my back.  The lady was pretty freaked out, and was yelling, "YOU OKAY?!" But, had the wind not been totally knocked out of me, I would have been laughing too hard to hear her.  I honestly didn't feel much pain, and was just wheezing at how amazingly awesome my blowout had been.  I doubt any crash shall ever compare with it.  So I got off the ice and kinda limped over to the stands to make sure nothing was broken (by this time, the pain had kinda started to make itself present, but it wasn't too bad).  I yanked up my pant leg and the lady passed at that exact moment.  She took one look at the enormous lump on my leg, the scars, and the huge blossoming bruise on my knee and said, "WHOA are you all right?" I tried not to laugh, cuz she looked pretty freaked out, and told her that only the bruise was new.  But MAN that thing has gotten big and ugly over the last couple days.  Tianna, I have a bruise to match your legendary ones.  However, it was AMAZING to get back on the ice, and what better way to end such a trip than with a good old-fashioned wipeout to give you some impressive battle scars?
Anywho, the next day we watched Soulsurfer (one of my new all-time favorite movies) and Abbey nearly cried (NEARLY.  I'm not quite that big a wuss.)  and went to the library.  I was pretty much completely in heaven.  They had an entire BOOKCASE full of astronomy and physics (no astrophysics, but the two put together count) books.  I got two of them and have been boring Faith to tears by the fascinating tidbits inside. 
Today, we kinda just hung out.  We had a fake funeral for each of my little siblings except Faith, pulling their sad bodies around in a little red wagon outside and weeping and wailing behind the funeral train.  I'm sure the neighbors thought we were crazy, but honestly, we are and so is everybody else, they're just too chicken to admit it sometimes.  Me, I believe in putting my true self forward.  If I'm gonna be myself, might as well have fun doing it, and pretending to die and suddenly come back to life, chasing my siblings around the park behind my grandparents house, is a heck of a lot of fun.
It doesn't quite feel like summer yet because I'm not at home, not with friends, and not writing songs (actually that's a lie.  I've recoreded two improvs so far on my Grandma's piano, but I meant guitar songs, which usually mark the beginning of summer) and haven't gone rollerblading. 
Anyway, sorry for the novel.  Bottom line:
I MISS YOU GUYS!!!  EMAIL ME!!!  HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING?!?!?!  LOVE YA!!!

swimming

Dear everyone,

I went swimming today and it was awesome! I also toasted a marshmallow while making a grill cheese sandwich. yum. I'm tired with a sore knee. I bumped it while escaping the evil grasp of my "captor" who gave me chocolate and texted Abbey. Pretty much an awesome day.

love,
Tianna
