Poor Little Long-Lost Blog

You all are probably groaning expecting a 100 page story of mine, but I just wanted to share one a friend shared with me.... It reminds me of helping with functions....  Then mom comes and everybody does what they're supposed to. There once were four people named Everybody, Anybody, Somebody, and Nobody. An important job had to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it and that Somebody would do it. But Nobody realized that Everybody thought Somebody would do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

This is a short post, but I am fascinated by the cicadas! They LOVE our elm that is out back. They are all over it. And I have now learned that cicadas turn brown after they come out of their shells. I was convinced that I had found an albino. Another side note, much to my happiness, my uncle has trimmed several of our trees, meaning I might be able to mow without getting all scraped up! Shiloh

The past week and a half my cousins from Louisiana have been up. It has been a very good time so far. =) One of their favorite things to do is play out side. I think they could live out there if we gave them the opportunity. In St Louis we went to a park one day. That was fun. On the way we picked up some Lion's Choice and ate it at the park. I was very happy to get out of the house. The main excitement in St Louis was the inclement weather. On Wednesday we spent about two hours in basement with sirens going off every once in a while. There was no damage to any place in the area, thankfully! After St. Louis, we came here. So far we have just been hanging out. The two kids have been just a little bit sick, mainly fevers, but today they both act like they are feeling much better, which makes all of us happy! That is all for the time being... I better get back to my company, right after I change the background! ~~Shiloh~~

Hello again you all! (Notice I didn't say y'all, I'm not from Texas, and don't wish to be... sorry all you Texas fans, I'm just not meant to be like y'all) OK... I don't have too much to report, except that I put Mr. Fisher Spider in a lovely box after pickling him... And I am surprised at how well he is doing!  His legs haven't curled at all!!! I will have to show you Shi, next time you come over. Second thing, Darin gave me a wonderful program for writing music, and I'm having a ball!  I LOVE it!  It makes me want to compose some more....  I might just have to do that right now! I'll show you my work Shiloh, once you finally decide that you want to see us again...  :) Almost done.... Today I went to the Orthodontist, and he put me on the last size of wires!   I am almost done!  Whoa!  The time just flew since I had them put on!  It'll be great to have them off! Last thing.... I want a report Shiloh, and not just three wo...

There are some scary drivers out there! Darin, a friend of ours, sent Ky and I these videos.....  They are not in the US, but still..... "At about 35 seconds into this take a look at the pedestrian between the white car and the motorcycle in the bottom right of the screen.  Want to get to the other side of the street?  Here is a how to video just for you. Also, if you are ever in Thailand and want to buy some food in Bangkok - well you will just have to see this to believe it! Thanks Darin! Blessings! ~Payton

Hello there, I'm Kylie, The one who was being "bad" and not wanting to post earlier. Now I'm going to "be pride to myself", and talk about ME for awhile. ;) I'm a 17 yr old girl who isn't very good at describing herself, but is now going to give it a shot! I have two sisters, Payton, whom you've already met, and Gracie. I'm very talkative, and I have a tendency to be very goofy, but I also can be very timid at times. I know, it's a weird combination! My favorite foods are CHOCOLATE , chocolate covered cherries, chocolate covered raisins, chocolate covered nuts, chocolate covered blueberries, chocolate covered espresso beans, chocolate covered apricots, chocolate covered strawberries (and pretty much anything else covered in chocolate! Hehehe), Americanized Chinese, cheese, pickles, anything hot and spicy, pistachio nuts, etc, etc, etc! I've got a lot of favorites....maybe I would of been better off just telling you what I don't ...

Well, I suppose it is my turn to talk about myself. I am not very good at autobios, unless I am writing them in spanish, and if I did that, no one (that means you Payton) would know what I was saying, so I will do it in English. First things first, I do not like vegetables, except for corn, and I remain convinced that it is a fruit. Chocolate is a dietary staple, can't live without it. I am homeschooled, and my favorite subject is spanish, all the others take turns at last depending on how bad (or good) I did on my last assignment. I love tagging along on all the endeavors of my wonderful friends, making four hundred 'snackies' is the latest, although I don't know what they are just yet. My official job title is 'gofer', or tape slave, depending on the occasion! I will forever picture myself as a little brown animal running to and fro. I debated including this, but I will, I have an imaginary turtle friend name Dottie. She will probably, when I'm not...

Or not!  She is being very bad!   She won't ........ Kylie tackled me before I could finish the post!  What a sister!  Do you  want me to tell you all the rotten things about her?  There are a lot! ~Just joking~  I really do love her.... despite her lack of desire to post. So I guess I will once again post about me, myself and I....  *Ya, I know* (Personal joke between my sister and I) I ate spaghetti for breakfast...  it is amazing how much it can look like worms when smashed in a container two sizes too small!  Then I got to wondering how robins, (And Collins)  can eat real worms... I mean the slimy type...  That makes me remember a very fun evening with my two dear friends...  And a yucky next day! I'm not exactly the best story teller....  but I think Ky or Shi, with the help of some pictures and videos could do the job!  :)  (Hint, hint, hint) OK 2nd time in a row... ...

OK, the title is a little... well corny, but I can't help it.  I'm not too terribly creative. Anyways... Well you can pretty much look at my profile to learn about my interests and everything...  But I would like to say a bit more on this blog. I am a normal girl...  (mostly, I think) but even a normal girl can make her life sound interesting in writing, so that's what I'm going to try to do. I go to a lovely church and have many friends, one of my many best friends is dear Shiloh...  And I guess my sister Kylie.  ;)  just kidding, I love my sisters.   That I think is why we started this blog, 'cause we are such good friends. We love to do projects together like weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, b-day parties and (Best of all) Yard sales and bake sales! Another person that is one of our good friends and helpers is my mom... Love you! Enough  said about that..... Current happening, A wedding we are going to help with and a wedd...

Well, now that we're all here, let the fun begin!
