I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool. That type of cool

Oh, let’s see(unless you‘re blind, then you don‘t need to see. Of course, if you were blind, you wouldn‘t be reading this anyways…).
I’m not gonna mention everything that’s happened recently, ‘cause that would take too long and it would be too boring. I’ll just talk, or write, as it were, about… Not everything!! I’m just kidding(sort of. I mean, I‘m not going to talk about “everything”, but I will talk about something. Once I get to it). ;P
I guess I better get to telling something interesting. Ummm… Oh, duh! I went a little brain dead for a second. Where was I? Oh yes, I was remembering something.(btw, I‘m not really this forgetful. I‘m just having some fun).

On Sunday, T.J. B. loaned me his electric bass, so I could learn to play it for when we start a band(if we start a band). It’s cool and pink and awesome. I didn’t really have much time at all to play it that day, and then we had a chemistry field trip on Monday(which was fun, btw), so I only messed with it a tiny bit.

After our field trip, Caleb, Daniel, and I got together to work on our presentation. Daniel had told us that he had a song we could perform, but he wouldn’t tell us what it was. So, he finally shows it to us and it turned out to be an incredibly dumb, yet extremely funny song. Daniel got his guitar out, and we worked on it for awhile. After we went through it once or twice, We decided that Daniel would play guitar, Caleb would play mandolin, and I(yes, me), would get to play the cowbell. I wasn’t too happy with that plan, so I decided I would just learn how to play the song on the bass. It couldn’t be *too* hard, could it? Nope, not too hard. It’s pretty easy, for a beginning bassist. The only trouble I had was that I wasn’t quite sure which “G” or which “F” to play. But I called Daniel this morning, and he said it really didn’t matter. It’s gonna be really sweet once we practice some more. I’ve already got my part mostly memorized.

What else is going on… We got the riding mower fixed, so now we can mow again. The pool is still too cold, but it’s warming up. Hopefully it will be warm enough next week. Wedding stuff is coming along nicely(I think). Everybody in my family that gets to wear a tux has been measured. I need to take Lola and Donor to the vet for their annual shots soon(they‘re gonna *love* that). Which reminds me. I need to get some covexin8 for the goats too…(*I‘m* gonna love that)
I think that’s all,
Yippee-cay-oh, get along little doggie(short dogs are cool too)

Btw, here's a pic of me when I was around Josiah's age. We could pass for twins. Except for the huge age difference.

I just killed a bug(almost)

EDIT: Right after I asked Lana to proofread this, she totally freaked out because she saw a bug, but it ran away before I got there.
Ummm, let's see. I haven't posted since last...Thursday.
I don't think much of anything happened Friday.
Saturday was dad's birthday. We spent most of the day working on leveling the ground for the pool(which is done now, btw).
Sunday, went to church... I'm not sure if we did anything extra. I can't remember.
OH!! I just remembered something exciting we did on Friday!! We went to the mall and went clothes-shopping, which usually isn't all that great, but this time was different!! I was in JCPenney's, looking for jeans, when I saw the coolest things in the world(well, maybe not the *coolest*, but it was pretty cool at the time). Slim-fit men's jeans(boot-cut, I think...). I didn't even know they made such a thing. I was like, "oh, wow. I need to try some of those!". They're pretty sweet!! It might not be a big deal to you guys, but it's pretty cool to find jeans that'll fit really well. It seems that everyone in my family has their own different troubles finding jeans...
Today, Monday, I had chem class in the morning. Our group finished our poster board, finally. It looks pretty awesome. Each group has to do some sort of presentation thing at our class presentation night in two weeks. I'm not sure what we're doing, but I think Me, Daniel, and Caleb(I know that's not the *proper* way to write that, but that's the way I say it...) are gonna all do something for it. We thought about doing a song, but we're not sure how that'd work. We also found out this morning that we were having a final test(oh boy!), or exam, whichever you prefer. I had a little bit of trouble with some of it, but at the end Mr. Herb said we had three minutes to help eachother with two problems. So, I ended up aceing it. I was pretty excited. I think I'm gonna try to clep out of college chem soon, while it's still fresh in my mind.
Mr. Herb is teaching physics and micro-biology next year. I'm taking micro for sure. I don't know about physics, mom doesn't think I could handle two science classes at once...
Tomorrow is Lana's b-day. I got her present tonight, finally.
I think that's all.

later alligator(after a while crocodile) ;P

I hate wearing wet flip-flops.

Just a short post here. Today has been good. I actually got up on time this morning!*High-five* Brandon, dad, and I started watching some video things for our morning Bible study. It was pretty good. After that, I took care of animals and all that jazz, took a quick run (haven't done that in awhile), and then got started on my school. I finished math pretty quickly, for me, and then did other assorted stuff(played w/ Lily, watched some Star-wars, did some science...).
Then, before lunch, I played chess with Brandon(I won, but that's beside the point). After we finished, somebody asked mom if she would play chess with them, and that's when we found out. Mom has never played chess in her life!!!! I couldn't believe it. She's -- old and she hasn't ever played chess?!?! Not even once?!?! Nope, never played chess. She says she doesn't plan on learning to anytime soon either. I guess it's just not important to some people..;P
We've got Riverwalk tonight, I had to miss last week because I was sick.
The wedding is less than a month away and I still haven't been measured for my tux yet, so that needs to happen soon. I think that's all I was gonna say....
Bye!!
EDIT: Lana says this isn't my greatest post.
Tony says, GET OVER IT!! jk ;P

I hope you like it. It took me three hours to complete the shading on your upper lip

Well, let’s see. *Somebody* told me I have a lack of "newpostness", which I don’t think is a real word.;P But I was gonna post anyways, so, here goes nothing.
Let me think...ah-ha! My dad had/has a kidney stone. The pain started REALLY bad the other day, so on Friday afternoon, Lana took me up to his work so I could play chauffeur for awhile. Then, on Saturday, we had milk run, so I got to drive MORE then!! I just love driving. There’s something about feeling that power under you feet and zooming along the highway. *sigh* It’s wonderful. One of the best parts is when you pass people. Even though I never speed (never "intentionally" that is), there’s always a car going slower than I am. It just gives me a good feeling to drive by someone while I’m in Lightning (that’s dad’s car). I don’t know if it’s just a guy thing or what, but I love driving. So, yeah, enough about cars.
Sunday: Church was good. Worship service was awesome, sermon was good, Sunday school was good. So, yeah, church was good. After church, me and dad ran some errands then we came home and had lunch real quick before Lana, mom, Pie, and dad left to go to Lana and Luke’s shower at his church. I got to stay home and watch the boys. It actually wasn’t too bad. We watched a movie and played outside and had several snacks (you can never forget snacks. Snack time is one of the second best times of day).After that, T.J. came over for awhile.(I’m not sure how long he stayed, I had to head to bed Fred)
Today, had chemistry class. We worked on our display board for our project some. I had completely forgotten about an assignment that we had, so I finished that up real quick while we were waiting for the lecture. I have math and then a little bit of other stuff to do today, then I’m done schoolwise.
Tomorrow, testing in the morning!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!!!! I’m excited!!Testing is soooo much fun. I’m kinda bummed that it’s only for one day though. It used to take like, three days. It’s my last year for it too. So that’s kinda sad.
Ummmm, what else? Normal busy week ahead for the home team. Oh!! I just remembered something! The Hildebrands are coming on Sunday!!!!!! I’m excited. They’re coming up for the wedding too. So we’ll get to see them more this year than we normally would in two years.
I can’t think of anything else. If I do, I’ll just write it later.
So, farewell from the Tony maestro.

Words from a football dislikin' hot-pink wristband wearin' "duitar" playin' guy...

I got my hair cut on Saturday. It’s just long enough that my hair still curls up, but not so long that it won’t brush nicely. So that’s good (Thanks mom). On Sunday, most of the family was sick, so only Lana and I went to church. At chemistry class on Monday, we all got our papers back, all graded and everything. I got a 100!! I was pretty happy about that. Later on Monday night, Lana picked a voice out for me. I know, it sounds pretty weird, but it had to be done. I guess I better explain what I’m talking about.

I have this ability (if you want to call it that) to mimic, almost perfectly, the voices of many of the popular Christian singers. The problem is, because I do it so often, I have a hard time finding my “normal” singing voice. So, Lana, being the loving sister that she is, suggested that I should just copy one of the voices that I can do well and make that my normal singing voice (She chose Brandon Heath, btw, in case any of you were wondering). But now that problem is, I still can’t, for example, sing a Skillet song without copying John Cooper’s voice. I have to wonder how many other people have this problem. ;P Actually, I was wondering if there is a way to make a living by “mocking” famous people (other than Elvis Presley).

Not much else is happening except I got sick on Tuesday night, which really stinks. I’m pretty much over it now though. I’m just a tired and weak. I should be at least mostly back to my normal (or not so normal) self by tomorrow.

Apparently It's time for a new post......

Not too much going on at our house, just normal everyday living.

On second thought, normal life has a lot of stuff going on, so, I guess we’ve had a lot happening.

I should say that there hasn’t been to much *extra* going on at our house.

I’m racking my brain, trying to remember if anything exciting has happened in the past week.

Let me think…… Well, Thursday, we had Riverwalk church and only one kid showed up, so, we all kind of goofed off for a while before starting the lesson. I think that it was good for Alex (the only kid that showed up) to be there with just us.

I think that he is one of the kids that really does care about the lessons, not just snacks and games.

I don’t think much extra happened Friday. At least, not that I can remember.

On Saturday my dad and I started working on an invisible fence for Donor, among other weekend chores and whatnot.

Sunday, church was awesome!! It was really different, they changed up the routine, our normal routine! But, I was okay with it once I got over the initial shock of it being different ;P

The sermon was awesome, you can download it from here (it'll be the one that says, "Tim, the 'E' word", or something like that).

After the sermon, Mom and Lana take all of the younger kids home and dad and I stay for sunday school.

After sunday school, dad and I stayed in town and killed time before our outreach meeting thingy. I don't stay in the meeting, I just eat food and then go down to the gym to play. ;P

That’s really tough, isn’t it. ;P

After goofing off and giving Joel M. a black eye (accidentally of course ;P), we went home and finished the fence. Here's a picture of the fence.

What? you don't see anything? That's because it's "invisible". pretty cool, huh. Donor doesn't think so. Poor thing doesn't even want to go outside anymore. He'll get over it after a while.... I hope.

Had chemistry class on Monday, and turned in our papers. I sure hope I get a good grade on mine... I might post it eventually.

I can't think of anything else worth writing about right now.... That is, nothing that wouldn't require a whole new post. ;P Yep, I'm pretty sure that's everything.

No!! Wait!! It's not everything!!! I GET MY BRACES OFF IN TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
