if caterpillars + parrots = walkie-talkies, how do you get cell-phones?

Man, I haven’t posted in like, forever and a day… Oh well, I can change that right now.
Umm, I can’t remember how long it’s been since in my last post, so I’m not quite sure what’s happened since then, so, I’ll just ramble on for awhile until I’ve satisfied the writer within me.
So, let’s see… I guess I’ll just start with the past few days, ‘cause I can’t think of anything else that’s interesting.
So, on Friday, we went up to the dairy and got milk, and then we went to the bass pro shop. After that, we went to “Los Cabos”, which was really good.
Yesterday, we went to my cousin Kyle’s, (AKA, J.R.) wedding(it was like, three hours away). It was pretty nice. The colors were black and hot-pink, totally awesome! After the wedding, we went to the reception(’cause receptions are usually AFTER the wedding, duh!), and had lots of good food like bulgogi (awesome Korean beef, made by my aunt, J.R.’s mom, who’s from Korea. Is that cool or what! ) and egg rolls. Ummmm, after dinner there was music and dancing and whatnot… I did a little bit of dancing. I think people might of liked it just a little bit… They did this one line dance thing called the “cha-cha slide” or something like that which it was a TON of fun, ‘cause a lot of other people did it.
Oh, what else? I got to play with my uncle’s iPhone, totally sweetness…
My cousins and I talked a lot about nothing much…
My cousin Sam is trying to get me to get a myspace (which, I won‘t do, ‘cause if I got anything it‘s be face book. But I don‘t think I‘ll even get one of those)…
You can tell I’m running out of stuff to say when I start mentioning stuff like that.
Oh, yeah, on the way up to the wedding, we played “Apples to apples” which is incredibly fun.

And, last, but not least, my birthday is on Saturday!!!!!!! And we’re gonna go on vacation next week so we can relax after being seriously stressed out since Christmas… It’s gonna be fun!!! We’re going to a house right by Bull Shoals lake (like, a couple hundred feet from that water), and pretty close to the white river. So we’re gonna bring the kayaks, and we got a raft thingy to take. And, what’s gonna be really sweet is that the lake house is twice the size of our house… I hope we don’t get lost in all that space. ;P


I guess that’s it for now. So, until next time,
Adios amigos!(see, I‘ve been doing my Spanish ;P)

I think a title is supposed to go here...

Brandon has been getting on to me for not posting a real post(of course, he hadn't updated in forever until this morning ;P), so, I might as well go ahead and post...

ummm, what's been going on???
Brandon and I have been roofing the barn, and we finished it this morning.
Mom hasn't been feeling well, so I have to help with cooking and such. Cooking isn't bad, it's the cleaning up after it(which, I don't always do...).
Brandon and I invented a new sport called, umm, "underwater kung fu", or something like that. It's pretty fun, because we can punch each other as hard as we want and it doesn't hurt! At least, not too bad...
I need to call Lana at some point today to ask her if she's gotten a copy of the FtF video to CCC yet, 'cause we need to start showing it in church this Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, I kinda volunteered/got volunteered to do some short drama stuff to go along with a sermon. So I have to miss Sunday school next week to work on it.
It kinda stinks because "Elder selection Sunday" was last week, and in Sunday school we had a mock nomination thingy. But we were gonna see how our "votes" lined up with the actual votes. So I don't get to be in there for that.
We also nominated people from the youth group to be our leaders. I should've voted for myself, but I don't know how that would've worked.;P I know I got at least one vote though, because I heard someone say "How do you spell 'Lou....'?". It was kinda funny, especially since it turned out to be Joel M. that said it. Of course, then he asked me if I would vote for him... no way! ;P
Anyways, I'm doing a skit thing, and I get to be a wild preacher guy and hit people with a big bible. It's gotta be cool if I can do that! I really have no idea what I'm doing other than the vague description I just gave y'all.
There are four other skits too, but we haven't picked people for those yet. I probably won't be in those(at least not *all* of them) because I'm not sure if we'll be in town or not...

Oh, also, the Hildes are moving again. FAR away this time though:( I mean, really far...

Well, I'm being beckoned away from the compy, so, bye

Long post ahead

I had all these great things to post about last night, now I can only remember a few.

Last Wednesday: we went up to Bentonville so dad could help Uncle Mitch with funeral preparations. So, we got to hang out with Jordan and Jacob. We played super smash bros. quite a bit. We also went swimming and rode scooters and ripsticks ect. I also figured out that you can send text messages via bluetooth, so we had some fun with that. ;P Then we played lazer tag, listened to music, played wii, and watched youtube videos until we went to bed.

ummm, Thursday(because Thursday usually comes after Wednesday):
Aunt Shanna(dad's sister), Uncle Len(her husband), Austin & Josh(their kids, our cousins),
Aunt Laurie(dad's *oldest* sister ;P), Sam(one of her kids, another cousin),
Uncle Kyle(dad's oldest bro) & Aunt Sunnie(his wife), and then their kids (who are all adults), J.R., & and his fiance Courtney, Kimmy & her daughter Nabia(she's 2 1/2 yrs. old and she's sooo cute)
and Miss Madeline(one of my granny's friends)
All of those people gathered at Granny's house and came over to Uncle Mitch's house for lunch and swimming and stuff.
After that, we all(everybody from both houses) went to Granny's house for dinner(T.J. came up at some point too, but he was there when I got there), provided by people from Uncle Mitch's church(I think, but I'm not sure about that). Then we went to the funeral home for the first visitation, or whatever you call it.
Then, everybody that was staying at Uncle Mitch's house went back there, except for me, because I was trading places with Josh for the night.
Thursday night, Austin, Sam, T.J., and I, stayed up really late playing Halo 3!!
Friday morning, we all met at Uncle Mitch's house, again(do you notice a theme here? ;P), and then headed up to Kansas.
Later on Friday, we had another visitation for people up there. Then we(all of the people mentioned before, and then some) went to a place kinda like Golden Corral(except not as good) for dinner. When we got back, me and a bunch of cousins played poker in the hotel lobby, with sugar and creamer from the hotel's breakfast stuff.
Saturday: I got up at 6:45 to go running with Uncle Chet, cousin Joe, Uncle Len, Uncle Mitch, and cousin Jacob. I forgot to mention that Joe is on a track team, and everybody else has been running daily for quite a while(and I haven't hardly at all), so I wasn't sure if I could keep up with them. I think we ran 3.4 miles. Not too far, but a pretty good run. I actually did pretty well. I didn't get tired till the last half mile.
Around noon, Aunt Laurie took Brandon, Austin, and me to get some lunch at the "Kreem Kup". Eventually everybody ended up there too.
Also, I forgot to mention, us older boy cousins were the pallbearers, which paved the way for all sorts of dumb jokes.
Then we had the Funeral service at an Episcopalian church(it was very strange). And then went out to the cemetery(which was out in the middle of nowhere).
Then we went back to the church for dinner. Then took family pictures and went back to the hotel.
Saturday night: we had a Halo tournament, in which I got creamed...

We left the hotel at 3:00 in the morning, so I slept most of the way home.

And that concludes my wonderful post about our trip.


P.S., as I am typing this, mom is playing a game on the Wii. And when I asked if I could try it, she said "finish your post, boy", and then got back to her game.

Now she's tickled because she beat Brandon's high score, on her second try

EDIT: I beat her high score awhile ago, so I ROCK!!!!! What else is new? ;P

It's not just the end, or where we begin. It is in the in-beetweens

Whooohooooo!!!!!!! It’s all over!!! I got to sleep in today!!!! We have a fridge full of leftovers!!! I can hardly believe that Lana is married. I’ve known all my life that she was going to get married eventually, but it seems so weird that she’s not gonna be around much.
For those of you that are wondering(and I know there are some, because I‘ve been asked). No, I didn’t “cry”, but my eyes did get watery twice. I couldn’t really help it though, seeing my sister walk down the aisle is kind of a once in a lifetime thing.
The ceremony was really good(but I was probably biased). I think Luke’s favorite part was the kissing. ;P
The reception was fun, but I had to wait for forever before I could go in because we had to get pictures taken first. Daniel, T.J., and I got some sweet bow-ties, I think a lot of people liked them.
I got to meet some of my great grandparents too. I had no idea who they were, but they acted like I was supposed to(I‘d only met them once before that, but I was really little).
I think we’re going to try to take it really easy today and not do much of anything.
We’ve got friends coming over on Sunday, and then I think grandparents are coming on Monday or Tuesday.
I think this is getting kinda boring, so I’ll stop now.

You say you're sorry, does that mean you're sad you got caught?

I think it’s about time to update, so, I update. Let us see… I can’t think of anything worth writing about other than the fact that the Hilde’s came over yesterday!!!! They came over after church and had lunch with us. Then we all went to Lana and Luke’s wedding shower. I think it was the first time I’d ever been to a wedding shower before. It was pretty fun. Probably helped that I knew everybody there.
They had a table set up with cards on it to write pieces of advice for them. I filled two out. I’m not sure if they’ll appreciate all of the work I put into it. ;P (you won‘t understand the humor if you weren‘t there. sorry).
I can’t believe I almost forgot what I’m about to write about. Brittany Hilde(my cousin) got her “dream car” the other day(that was the whole reason that they came up). I was almost jealous at first. But then I took a ride in it. It was a pretty tight fit… I guess I’ll tell you what it is. Better yet, I’ll show you a pic of it (I got this pic from some website, so it's not actually "her" car, but it looks just like it)

Pretty sweet, huh? Not as cool as this! (well, maybe it's as cool, but not as "me")

This is just like my dad's car (except ours has black stripes on the sides and a black rear bumper), which I'm going to buy later. Pretty sweet, huh? Moving on.......

What else??? Chemistry class again today. We took a propane torch to the edges of our poster board. Now it's AWESOME!!!!! I'll get some pics of it once it's finished. Somebody brought cookies and put a plate on our table. They were gone in less than two minutes. ;P I'm done for now, so, I'll be going. Bye!

It's a big blueish-green man with a strange goatee. I'm guessing that's significant.

Oh boy! here it comes! wait a minute... there it goes! What is it? It's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME! PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!! Sorry(not really ;P) that was dumb.

Tru D-O-G what you got for me?

Whoa! I feel good(banananananananaa!).

Take me to the river... put me in the water....

Don't step on my blue suede shoes...

What you got, what you want, what you need? Gotta be your savior.

I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day. Spread my wings and fly away...

Come on somebody, why don't you run? Ol Red is itchin', to have a little fun. Get my lantern, get my gun. Red will have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes.

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more...

ARGH!!! I keep getting all sorts of songs stuck in my head!!! They won't leave!!!!
I wish I could get a rap song stuck in my head. That would be cool.

I need to pick a song to sing at the wedding, but I can't think of one!!! I've only got two months left!!! Any suggestions??

Btw, this post didn't have any point to it. I just wanted to say something.

Well, I guess since I'm already on here, I might as well say more. MORE!!! That was dumb, but it had to be done. ;P

I'll probably write a real post soon. Maybe in a couple of days. I just wondered what type of comments I would get on a post like this.
I need to try to get my cousins to comment on here. That would be cool... My cousins are cool. And all of my cousins have one cousin that is exceptionally awesome. He's pretty tall, has dark curly hair, and he likes to imitate people all of the time. ;P
