Neva's life

New app

2012-03-10T04:40:00.001-08:00

Mama had to upgrade her phone. Soooo... right now i kinda LOVE the Droid Razor!!!

(It's Blogger app is way cool.)

I woke up at 5:04am this morning. Now it's 7:35am.

I'm desperately tired. My sister is complaining about her broken nail. Jake's teeth are coming in again. Blessing is grunting. My hot chocolate is cooling. The sun is bright.

I have to go now. I really just wanted to try the new app out. :)

smelling like spring

2012-03-08T09:58:00.000-08:00

I'm such a sucker when it comes to the cool, blossoming weather of....Spring.

I love it muchly and I wish it would stay forever.

Spring has been rather slow in getting here this year. It was undeniably freezing last week, and now it feels amazing.

I love the smell of Spring. It makes me happy. And I want to run through our neighborhood and jump and yell and tell everyone to smile! {although, I want to that all the time. but especially in Spring.}

One of my favorite things about spring is: going outside in the morning, and feeling a light breeze....

....and the sun rising slowly... waking the world up....

...hearing the birds singing their songs...

....and the smell...

The smell of freshly mowed grass. Blossoming flowers. The air. The sunshine...

Okay, enough dramatic stuff about spring. :)

once upon a time

2012-03-05T19:10:00.000-08:00

{I just always wanted to use that as a title. maybe one day it'll will actually make sense as one.}

Right now, as it get colder than it's supposed to be outside in the wilderness {our crazy world} and somewhere a camel is either sleeping....or not, I'm sitting on the floor of our living room on daddy's new {work} lap top and B is trying to eat in. My family is watching "Puss In Boots" and I'm blogging because I want to and because I...want to.

Today I was home alone with Corban, Ben, Jake and Creed'O. According to them it was boring. But we all know that's not true, because, I mean, how could it be boring with me around??

Actually, I did spend an obsessive amount of time watching sappy music videos and trailers to movies I really hope to see in my near future. But they were playing outside with Ethan and Avery. Yelling, and wrestling, and being boys all the way. I also let them have a pop-sickle and orange soda.

And then I attempted to watch "A Walk to Remember" {because I found it in the drawer in an effort to find "Anne of Green Gables". we probably should send it back to Netflix. Good thing they have no "over-due-charges".} but then the neighbor boys went home, and my boys came inside. They were not interested in my movie, so I switched it. To "Phineas and Ferb". I went upstairs to get my crocheting off my bed... but then I was waking up and suddenly it was 5pm. Oops. I heard the "Phineas and Ferb" theme song, and little boys laughter, so I knew all was well.

*growl* *hunger*

I was in no mood to be good and cook anything. We had no "instant" food, so I found a cereal box and brought it downstairs. Me and the boys' feast: Apple Jacks and bottled water.

And after watching a few more episodes. I decided to be a nice girl and straighten up. Pick up a few toys here, shoes there. *done*

At one point, while "The Waltons" played on the INSP channel, all the little boys were asleep. And it was kinda like a moment of heaven. The only noise was John boy complaining about his job and Creed snoring.

I watched a few more music videos. And then they got home. Bearing goodness in the form of round dough with sauce and cheese and wonderful toppings.

So the boys and I had some kind of fun. :)

Now, I must go. I'm dreadfully sleepy. {why, I have no idea.} But goodnight. Sleep tightly. And be scared of bed bugs. They are mean.

Nanners is amazing

This is the song Hannah sang for our banquet last month. Wow. She's my sister. Mmmhmmm. <3

our weekend

2012-03-05T09:22:00.000-08:00

This past weekend, my family traveled down to GA to help my aunt and uncle and cousins move into their new house.

The trip was full of Netflix movies on mama's phone, Narnia soundtrack, Chick-Fil=A biscuits, Pillows, "In my Pocket" games, gas stations with a man who was dressed in a sweater, sport shorts, socks....and flip-flops. {<-- gag} And a stop at Meemaw's and donuts....

Halfway there, I watched the movie {From Prada to Nada}. A ridiculous modern version of {Sense and Sensibility}.

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone, but Nan laid on the floor for about 30 minuted on the trip. :)

And Scissors stole my glasses from Emily, who stole them Katie, who stole them from Hannah who stole them from Yours Truly.

Little boy art.

This is what I get when I try to take a picture of Isaac, and he see me.

He then steals my camera and captures me sitting very much almost illegally. :) {Kidding!}

Someone woke up.

Oh my goodness. This kid is a camera hog. I have like, 50 pictures of him. Only him. And his crazy poses.

{Angry Birds}

Superman!

I don't know, we might be the only ones to do this, but one of our favorite "road trip past-times" is to get 18-wheeler trucks to honk.

After a stop at Zaxbys for lunch, and Super, xxx, insanely hot wings {eaten by Scissors and Yours Truly} we arrived. I was put in charge of little as the rest unloaded trucks and boxes. I was quite alright with that. :)

They live behind their new church, and their new church has a play ground, and Creed and Blessing love play grounds...

Cousin: Ruth. {most precious little girl ever.}

Cutest baby cousin: Ezekiel {Zeke.}

And while I was busy riding with Scissors who was following daddy and Grandpa to drop the moving truck off, my little sisters {budding photographers} took charge of my precious camera.

Okay, I have the most gorgeous sisters ever.

Ruthie!!

Cousin: Sophie. {so adorable.}

Grandma's dog: Griffin.

Scissors, Isaac, Jake and I {after all was done} decided to explore the woods behind their house.

We came up to a field with actual horses in it! And after my brothers tried to communicate with them, they ran away from us.

We also found a skull. {freaky}

After all the littles were put in bed, me and my 2 crazy brothers hit the playground. In the dark. {races. flips-off-swings. jumping over fences. screaming because we heard something in the woods.}

The creepy barn where Scissors got attacked by bats.

Sunday morning.

We had a huge lunch with the church. And I felt completely like an anti-social home schooler, because I didn't go up to anyone and talk. Why? Because I really didn't have anything to say to these people. :)

We left. We stopped to visit Meemaw again and while the guys watch Animal Planet, and the little people had a Nerf war, us gals sat at the kitchen table. And because I was starving, we ate Cheese Puffs and marsh mellows. Then Pizza. Then Ben spilled Sprite all over me and I had to change into my pj's.

On the way home we listened to an insane amount of daddy's favorite music, and Adele, and Owl City, and Taylor Swift and....

Then I went in and out of consciousness while the rest of my family talked and slept and was crazy. We stopped at a gas station around 7pm. I went in. In my leopards spotted pj's and blue shoes.

And then I took pictures of traffic. And then we got home. And then I went to bed.

{We had such a wonderful time. And we are so happy to have Aunt Sara and uncle Kevin and cousins Ruth, Sophie and Zeke so much closer!}

Note: this post if full of inside jokes. If you don't get it, don't worry! Although, it's not like you never don't get stuff on here....

at last.

2012-02-29T11:30:00.002-08:00

{....my love has come along....}

My sister posted for the first time in months. Thing is, it was on MY blog.

Crazy person.

See, I like doing the random posts myself. It is my therapy. It calms me. It makes me getting a fluttery feeling deep inside. I enjoy it. And how dare she take it away from me.

:) Okay, so I'm not truly holding a grudge. {She will be compensated for her wonderful contribution to my blog. No worries.} But, truth is: I am having one of those moments people do. The ones where they are about to explode because after 3 hours of doing nothing but school and watching rice steam is kinda like, not fun at all.

So me and my little mind will have it's moment here on the blog. In front of the 20 people who read it.

I really like the name Christian for a boy's name. I also like Harry, but for an entirely different reason.

Taylor Swift: I can't seem to make up my mind. Do I like her...or not. That is the real question here. If I didn't like her, then I might not feel the impulse to play her soundtrack over and over and sing along to her ridiculous lyrics. If I liked her, I wouldn't make fun of her ridiculous lyrics. Help?

La-la. A cockatoo who lives in our house. A bird who screams like it's dying. A thing that appears to be laughing at me when I run away from it. A winged creature who hates me.

You what kind of bird I really super want? An Ostrich!!!! Yes. A real live Ostrich that I can become friends with and love and be loved by and ride around our neighborhood. If those weirdos in Prince of Persia can do it, then I can too.

And I really do have a unknown size of belief in unicorns. "Why wouldn't they exist? Do you know what all is out there?"

Why is that I love to sit on our back porch? Well, I'll tell you. For one, with my camera and it's amazing zoom, I can spy on our neighbors playing basketball. And it's {most of the time} so peaceful. With occasional bird songs, dog bark, child scream.... {bliss}

And more times than I can bear, the lighting is perfect for gorgeous pictures. but, on Sunday afternoon, while I was sitting on the wooden steps, dangling my feet through the space that is supposed to be anther step, I felt too lazy to track one of my siblings down to pose beautifully and make silly faces and totally whip their hair in the wonderful sunlight. So instead I sat there. Taking pictures from my position on the porch. Comfortable and happy. And I let the opportunity to get some pretty amazing pictures of my amazing siblings slip by....

And I was very okay with it. Because, The Hunger Games was still playing it's self through my mind.

Oatmeal and apple baby food. According to Cilla, it is very delicious. Once you get over the texture and strange look. Which is almost impossible for yours truly to do.

As mother and daughter, we share a very special bond. She tells me how to act gracefully, I make her laugh. She gives her opinion on how I should dress, and I tell her she looks beautiful in anything.

Yesterday, for the 127th time {I think. it might have been 128.} we were out all by ourselves and the baby.

We couldn't get the stroller closed. And in a parking lot where everyone seems to be completely oblivious about what people think, we laughed at ourselves and the stupid stroller. Finally, I used my skills, and put it in the van. Open. {Because it really was stuck. And after 15 minutes of no success, we gave up.}

And we both, at the same time, took a sip of "our" drinks. it was probably the worst sip of both our lives. Mom drank my Coke, {she hates Coke} and I, a sip of her Diet Coke. {I hate Diet Coke.}

I love my mama.

Last night I discovered something that could maybe even save my life down the road: look both ways before you cross the street. :)

So, I knew this, but at night, it is very valuable.

Also, walking across a huge parking lot, carrying a baby, to get to Chick-Fil-A while your mom shops takes much longer than walking back with some of your favoritest people ever.

So me and red-head say good afternoon. And goodbye. Because my little brother just dropped a curtain rod/his sword down the stairs and made me jump 10 feet.

Random~

2012-02-28T15:39:00.002-08:00

Get ready-random post full of random bits from my random mind coming up.

I discovered that felt hats can lick your brain.

January 1994 was a purty darn cool month. Just sayin'.

Perfume was a wonderful creation. Would be lost without it. :) heehee.

Christmas lights are bewitching in the proper setting.

Snowglobes? *heart*

Christian is a nice name for a boy.

"Why, yes! I will scoot over!"

I love this song. It it soo me. ;)

When I can't concentrate on something, it's because of THIS.

Creep you out? Me too. In a cute lil' way...

My big sister is pretty much the best in the world. Seriously, I have yet to meet someone as amawesome as Hannah. Have you met her? You should. You haven't lived until you've met her. True, she talks about TV shows and Pinterest and clothes-yes. But she still rocks.

*smiles*

A fact = Unicorns exist. I truly believe that they are real.

I even started a blog about them.

I wanted to show off my amazing sister's photography skillz, hence all the photos of myself.

Ignore the awkward position in which I am standing. Hannah said it was cute, so...

Me loves some crazy little bros.

Now, one of my favorite poems. Ever written.

*epic*

BEARD
I decided it was time
For me to be a man.
So I went and threw my razor
In the garbage can.
If I didn’t cultivate it.
It would be a crime.
So I’m gonna grow my beard
Until the end of time.

All this hair upon my face
It grows there naturally.
Having me a long beard
Is the way I’m meant to be.
I don’t care if people say
I look like Z-Z Top.
Gonna keep on growin’
And I’m never gonna stop.

Don’t you know, I like the way
It billows in the breeze.
Just for fun I’m gonna let it
Grow down past me knees.
Gonna let it grow and grow
Until it hits the floor.
When that isn’t long enough
I’ll let it grow some more.

#yesyou'vebeenhacked.

{ your sister loves you. }

And hubby's. And fake chicken. And freaky men. And black trucks. And signs. And leggings. And toliets in front yards. And mock 'eclairs. And Pit. And a clapping hands on a table game. And owls.

And "Bow-Chicka-Bow-Wow" And more signs. And me being Ninja. And being bad at it. And Sonic being closed. And Totino's pizza. And zebra print earring made out of coconut shells from Africa. And CSTHEAPLAY. And privite messages. And Cilla. And texting Elianna. And fake names. And Sense and Sensibility. And The Game of Life. And sleeping in. And doing school. And eating chocolate covered grahm crackers. And doing dishes. And editing photos. And listening to Taylor Swift.

Oreos and white rice. Sippy cups and spilled milk. Oatmeal and crackers. Cars and legos. Markers and coloring books. Blankets and sweaters. Piper bear and snuggles. Lost phone chargers and found shoes....

All of the above, and me.

And a giant unknown bird flew over me close enough for me to ~~almost~~ not really touch it.

Hohum.Twiddle-de Twiddle-dum.

"Chick-Fil-A.... I could eat there seven times a day...."

{Especially with the Huffman girls... :)}

I think everyone wants to be in a music video, and laugh in slow motion to awesome music. At least I do.

I can't wait till tomorrow. I can't wat till Friday. And I definitely can't wait till Saturday. This week will be fun. Except fpr the fact, daddy left today, and won't be home till tomrrow. :/ I doubly can't wait till tomorrow!!!

a day in the life

2012-02-21T06:51:00.000-08:00

Hide and seek. War. Mud ball fights. Fox and the Geese.

Ethan: our neighbor. Sweetest kid ever. :)

I gotta say, I love Avery's shirt. :) {Avery is Ethan's brother.}

'L' For some reason, this means 'go'.

1...2...3...4...5...7...I mean 6...7...

Ethan's hiding place.

He is a silent counter. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do I see red hair?

Isaac wanted me to get a picture of this hawk that stays around the shop. So I did. I also named it: Jeremy.

And, mom and I had to wait at a construction site, to meet someone. What do you do when you're me at a construction site downtown? Um. Duh. Take pictures.

This is some of the handrail daddy and the boys have made this past month.

And now I must go settle a dispute between a couple of boys and their toy guns.

2012-02-18T10:48:00.000-08:00

You know that camera I got for Christmas? Well I've been practicing a whole lot. And I decided to show y'all some of the photos I've taken the last few days..

~Outside my window~

~Play Practice~

{Oh my gosh, I love you Cilla! :)}

~At the shop~

~On the road~

~Downtown~

This coffee house is sooo cool.

~Saturday Morning~

And now.... Some big sisterness:

-If you want a baby to NOT look at you, try to feed them baby food.

-Who comes up with baby food? Pears and green beans, really?

-NEVER feed a baby baby food while she has cold. The stuff was seriously coming out of her nose.

-I hate baby food.

boredom photography

2012-02-15T14:26:00.000-08:00

Today I found myself bored. Again and again I am this way, but today was a serious case of what they call: boredom.

So, I headed to the upper level of our home and decided to be productive with my boredomness. Now, taking pictures might not be very productive, but using every setting on my camera helps me to figure out whats some things are on... Neva's Camera.

So with the help of non-working lights in the kitchen {actually, that was no help at all.} and me, I set out.

Let me just throw this out there: We have one of the, if not THE, greatest daddies ever. He brought flowers home for all us girls for Valentines day.

My favorite letter. {besides: a, q, r, s, y, w, b, and j.}

Out on our front porch. There is lots to discover about yourself. Like for instance, I am a protective freak when it comes to my camera. I didn't dare even look over the edge without putting my strap on.

And my little siblings like to dig. Just dig.

Once upon a time, we began to collect Willow Tree figurines. And now our mantel is full of them.

This is the one daddy got for mama last Valentine's Day. :)

And, oh my gosh. Are they not adorable?

M-O-R-S-E. What does that spell?

{cheeeeeesy.}

All us kids....

Mumsy and pops and.... one of the babies. :)

Dear Huffman family, these are our games. {Not including the 5 or six hidden away in our closet, or the few lying elsewhere.} Care to come over?

Yes, this was from an old hardware store. Everyone asks that when they see our green shelf in the kitchen. Why do they automatically think that's where it came from? I surely didn't think that. I just thought it was from... not a hardware store.

In the gals bedroom. Our billboard of...awesomeness.

Awww. Ain't I cute???

Um. Daddy totally drew this forever ago. And it is amazing.

Oh my word. We are adorable.

Daddy's girls? yes. I think so.

"Sisters...never were there such devoted sisters..."

Karaoke. I must say: I love it.

Pandora.

Us 4 girls. 11 years ago.

Rascal Flatts.

Taylor Swift. {I'm trying to figure out if I like her???}

My first ever corsage. Daddy got it for me for the banquet. {I love him.} :)

Through my window, and the porch pickets, I saw an adorable boy playing in the dirt.

And you know you love close ups of wood.

"The Help"? yes please.

A book.

...with pictures like this.

The Band Perry.

Someday I hope to get this working and use it.

Yours truly.

Then... all of a sudden. My boredom time was invaded by cuteness.

And my feet. Yes.

Still not sure.

Our toothless Buzz Light Year.

"To Infinity and Beyond."

So, if you ever find yourself wondering: "What does Neva do when she is bored?" Now you know...

spring?

2012-02-15T10:55:00.000-08:00

Time and time again, spring has shown itself.

Only to be replaced with snow flurries and freezingness.

I super want spring here for good. I want to wear my flip-flops and t-shirts without freezing.

{Yes, I wear flip-flops when it's 50* outside. You have a problem with it?}

With my Coke on the left-side of the keyboard, no red boxes in sight, creepy birthday card taken care of and my name written in the dust on our computer, I'm going to get little kids milk.

being crazy...

2012-02-14T11:36:00.000-08:00

As I eat the most terrible bowl of potato soup I've ever made.

Please, don't judge me on it. I can make it better. I just had a weak moment and put cinnamon in instead of pepper. {Not really sure how that happened.}

I keep reaching for a red box, and lifting it to my mouth to take a sip... then I realize my Coke is on the other side of the keyboard.

There is also a birthday card sitting on the desk, with a dog biting a present. I had to stifle a scream because I thought it was real and coming after me.

Right about now is when you laugh. It's okay. I can't really blame you.

I know. I know. I'm kinda scaring myself.

Then I think about these things, and everything becomes worser and worser.

'Cause there is nothing badder than being crazy about nothing, and go to being crazy about something amazing.

Ho-hum. I think mama has some laundry for me to fold.

{winding down. }

Ooooo. Do I see and smell Milano cookies? YES!

2012-02-13T12:11:00.000-08:00

We need to fold clothes. And watch 24. And eat white rice. And chocolate ice cream. And then maybe some SPK's. {I'm still on the fence about that one.}

Saturday night I was on stage in front of an actual audience. I introduced amazing people and then said "roll title" instead of "title roll". Jessie talked about how Emerald's song made her feel homeless instead of homesick. And then Aaron wore a wig that was pretty...strange.

I ate a big piece of chocolate cake when it was all over, and said: I'm alive.

Isaiah broke a plate while we were cleaning up the fellowship hall.

Then we went to Chillies. And I had potato soup and 2 much needed big cups of Coke. We talked about danish people and the middle ages. And number 2 dollar bills. And somebody paid for Sarah and Kristen's food. I said hi to the random guy and then me and Cilla broke out laughing for no reason.

I had so much fun on Saturday. And I wish I could make myself go back in time and live it all over again. Minus the mess-ups and nervousness and almost tripping over my long dress in front of everyone.

Yesterday, we ate Wendy's for lunch because: no more cereal at home. Then mama took us gals out for dinner at Panera and then to a movie. "A Joyful Noise" Oh my word. It was definitely one of the worst movies ever. And if I didn't get to spend time with my sistas and mom, and some Kit-Kat bars out of the deal, it would have been a terrible night.

Today we all kinda slept in because our lives have included not going to sleep till midnight or later, as long as I can remember.

Now, a little girl is pulling books off the shelves, and I smell my rice burning. Gots to go.

Play Practice Insanity

2012-02-10T17:26:00.000-08:00

Me and my peeps are always having way too much fun to even think about taking pictures. So that is my excuse for the small amount of...pictures.

Meredith, one of our wonderful piano players. {And Princess Ida of the past.}

Cilla, {one of my fellow girls-in-the-guys-chorus} had to stand in for a missing ladies' chorus member. And even though she had no clue what to do, she was beast. :)

And... 2 videos! {Please excuse the background chatter. Jessie just wouldn't shut up! :)

"The World is but a Broken Toy" Princess Ida, Hilarion, Florian and Cyril.

{Hannah, Aaron, Seth and David.} In the play, Princess Ida thinks the 3 are girls. :)

Hilarion, Cyril and Florian, singing "I am a Maiden". At this point in the play, they are disguised as girls. :)

REAL country music {For Cilla}

2012-02-08T05:31:00.000-08:00

*!*!*!*WARNING: This post contains 22 videos, all approximately 4 minutes long. And if your name is Cilla, you have to listen to them all. :) So, if you have time, proceed. If not, bookmark this page and promise yourself you will return. Thanks, management.*!*!*!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Cilla, I cannot express how much I love you. So just know....that your are very dear to me and I have been so incredibly blessed to have gotten to know you and become so close. :)

With that said...

:)

You and me, we are true country music fans. Our tastes might differ in some areas, but over all, girl. We are complete suckers when it comes to country music. Right? Right. :)

Country music: The term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music. The term country music is used today to describe many styles and sub genres. In 2009 Country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute.

{from Wikipedia.}

I used to not like country music a lot. But then a certain Ipod with certain music on it from a certain awesome daddy came along, and my life was changed forever. Since then, daddy has introduced me to a ton of amazing country music, and he and mama are somewhat surprised that I actually ~~like~~ love it.

There are some songs out there that are under the genre "country music", but really should be under "yes. I really just wrote a song about that" or " I know this is dumb, but so are people." that sounds a bit more accurate. Especially for songs like:

~Stupid country songs:

-Dirt Road Anthem {How in the world did this song become and anthem?}
-Red Solo Cup
-My Big Green Tractor
-Love Me Like My Dog Does
-Online
-Camouflage
So, to keep my promise, {cause that is just what I do. :)} here is my most favorite songs when it comes to real country music. :) Enjoy my dear....

{in no particular order, except awesomeness.}

"When You Say Nothing At All" Keith Whitley

I can be found humming this anytime... anywhere. ***edit: no, i do NOT approve of his hair.***

"Mama Knows" Shenandoah

:) Mama knows....

"Song of the South" Alabama

Oh my goodness.... I think anyone born and raised in the south love this song.

"Remember When" Alan Jackson

*cry-my-eyes-out* every time I listen to this song. It's so amazing.

"A Bad Goodbye" Clint Black and Wynonna Judd

Forget her name.

"Should've Been a Cowboy" Toby Keith

:D This....is....hilarious.

"It's a Great Day to be Alive" Travis Tritt

AHHHHH. Oh my goodness. I love this song so very much. End.Of.Story.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" George Jones

"Check Yes or No" George Strait

Awww. This song has pretty much always been adored by me.

"Forever and Ever Amen" Randy Travis

And, ahem, Randy Travis is wonderful.

"Deeper Than the Hollar" Randy Travis

"Just to be Your Man" Josh Turner

Uh. You like Josh Turner, right?

"The Dance" Garth Brookes

Daddy: "One of THE best country song. EVER!" {And yes, he even did the high pitched voice at the end.}

"I Loved Her First" Heartland

Attention girls: Go give your daddy a big hug right now.

"She's Everything" Brad Paisley

Okay now, I gotta say this: I adore Brad Paisley. :)

"Little Moments" Brad Paisley

:*)

"When Two People Fell in Love" Brad Paisley

Cilla, I thought you would like this song, I think it is so darn cute!

"Hurry Home" Jason Michael Carroll

Okay, forget his terrible hair and beard-thingy and how he acts. {Kinda freaks me out} But, I must say that I really like this song! At fist I thought it was another song about a girl leaving a guy...but then. "Daddy, I'm on my way."? *in my best New Jersey accent, which is quite pitiful.* Forget about it.

"I'll Walk" Bucky Covington

When I heard this song for the first time, we were all in the van and it came on the radio. When it was finished, daddy turned of the radio and said something about how that song had the right formula. {I forget the exact order of words. :)} I never hear it on the radio, but this song makes me cry.

"Easy" Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield

And of course Rascal Flatts. Oh wait, you don't like them, do you? Well, like I said, our opinions differ in some ways. This is a really big one though.

"I Won't Let Go" Rascal Flatts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Annnnnnnd.

One of my favorite country songs:

"It Means Something Different"

So Cilla, I hope this wasn't a complete waste of your time. And I hope you will still love me. And I hope that maybe possibly you liked some of my choices. :) See ya Thurs-tomorrow.

and here I am

New computer: check

Busyness: check

Emcee write-up done: almost check

Superbowl watched: check

And now I have a sweet dog to get in for the night and little brothers to put to bed and a letter to write {I have not forgotten you Jessica!!}.

I would post an amazing post entitled: {REAL country music....for Cilla} but I'm mulling it over in my wonderful mind, and will have to for another night or two. Or a million. So be patient and wait.. for... it....

Until then, enjoy a completely random picture of my friends from the land of Quelf.

I miss you, blog.

I am desperately missing the ability to post. I mean, this is terrible.

{58 minutes left}

At the library again today. We just picked up our new computer, but due to the time it will take to hook up and everything, and mama needed to print something up, we are here again. Smelling the smell of old books, listening to people being soooo quiet, and continually checking to see how much time I have left on here.

It's raining outside today. A very dreary-like day. Yesterday it felt very much like Spring. I actually wore flip-flops, with hopes of persuading Spring to stay. Apparently it didn't work. I'm still shivering.

I really truly adore the rain. But only when I have boots without a broken sole, and I have an umbrella and it's not just sprinkling, but it's not pouring "cats and dogs". Make much sense? Didn't think so.

{53 minutes left}

Recently I have been journaling, taking a hopeless amount of pictures {in fear of blowing up my memory card, because I haven't been able to upload them.} making Mock Eclairs, singing Princess Ida songs, singing Karaoke songs, reading books about red hair and Gilbert Blythe, staying up late watching 24, having "deep" conversations with sister-dear, and having terrible thoughts about myself and how I'm not running. I also have been working on my amazing emceeing stuff. :) {Question: Welcome, Good Evening, or Hello everyone?}

Oh my word. Can I please run through all those white birds in the mall parking lot? In the rain? With my bird loving brother? Paweese???

{46 minutes left}

Okay. I have nothing more to post right now. Well, nothing more I can post right now. As soon as Spencer gets all the cords hooked up and our new computer is working and I can upload pictures I will definitely post again.

Posts to look forward to:

-Boredom photography
-Blessing: 9 months
-Play practice insanity

2012-01-30T12:56:00.000-08:00

5 minutes is all I have.

I'm at the library right now. Because out computer died and we haven't been able to get it fixed.

And the Blogger app on mama's phone isn't working either. Thus: No posts.

But hopefully we will be able to get a new computer tomorrow or Wednesday.

I'm kinda freaking out. I hate the feeling of being watched, especially while I'm posting, and it just seems as if everyone is watching me post. FREAKY. Anyway. There ya have it. I will try desperately hard to post soon. Because I have tons of pictures..... Farewell.

2012-01-25T20:28:00.001-08:00

Yes. That's the Morse family.

I have some videos that I want to post, but I haven't figured out how to from the DROID yet. I'll try.

Anyway, while my sister sings opera music and twins talk about tooth brushes and Spencer listens to ESPN I am slowly getting sleepy.

Tomorrow I have more school, more cleaning and a new cake to try. (Dear Mrs. Moran thank you so much for being awesome and posting the recipe on your blog!) Not to mention practicing and dinner to make for the guys staying home....

So I should go to bed now.

Our 4 year old computer isn't working. It doesn't turn on thus.... it won't work.

Therefore: no pictures.

But. While me and my family are watching Real Steel, maybe a little post from the DROID. :)

Today was rather lazy. It just might have been the longest most drawn out day ever. I finished my school super early. (Because I couldn't do Algebra, it requires the use of a computer.)

Going out with mama = running into Bilo by myself to get dinner. Chicken pot pies and rice. (*amazing*) then Scissors and I had to back out to get daddy's mint ice cream. "No, cashier named Phillip, I didn't go to Soddy high school. In fact, I have 'gone' to any. I'm still going."

I don't know if this has been mentioned on here, but come February 11th we are having a Valentines banquet to help with the costs of the play. And, ahem, me and Jessie are going to emcee. What? Yes. That's right. Be prepared peeps. This will be interesting.

Friday we're having friends over to play some of the ton of games we have and then Sunday uncle Kevin and aunt Sara and the cousins Ruth, Sophie, and Zeke are coming... Monday is Isaac's 13th birthday.

Blessing will be 9 months next Thursday. Really?

The little guys love this movie. I have a feeling robots will be all we hear about for the next weeks. :)

And this is what I do on a Monday:

Sleep in till 10 because staying up past 12 every night is taking it's toll.

Eat a dry bowl of cereal cause we're out milk.

Sing a song ain't nobody heard of while i'm filling up my dogs water bucket.

Talk to myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth.

Finish my school.

Write the wrong date on my journal entry.

Go out with mama and the boys and B.

Eat onion rings.

Watch Messy Monday videos on the DROID while waiting in the car for mama.

Take random pictures of me and my crazy brothers.

Wear my sunglasses even though it's overcast and grey.

Eat a Subway sandwich in WALMART with mama while waiting for a prescription.

See some weird people (and hair dos.) In Walmart.

Ride the buggy in the parking lot.

Come home to Creed asleep and boys shooting each other with Nerfs.

And now it's 11:25pm.

Today we got 4 gallons of milk and 6 jumbo boxes of cereal. And the stares I got plainly asked me if we had a enough and if i thought we were gonna have a blizzard and be snowed in for weeks.

My answers were: no. We probably don't have enough. And yes. I think we're gonna get snowed in on a day where it's 61 degrees outside.

I must admit, I had a leave-me-and-my-breakfast-items-alone attitude. And I still smiled. Because it's important to smile in Walmart. For this reasons: no body else does, except for that random cashier wearing yellow rain boots.

*sigh* goodnight.

"Meva, can you cock this" hands me his gun. I tell him he has to give me a kiss. He does. I cock it and give it back.

*2 seconds later*

"Meva, can I shoot you?"

I think my brothers are terribly ridiculous. And i still made them Mac'n'cheese for them.

(FYI: it was a Nerf gun...)

And never, ever, send Isaac and I into Publix by ourselves. ("...Merlin. is he safe?? I must know.") :)

Now for more silly Facebook comments with friends. Goodnight.

Aside from washing dishes 3 times a day, cuddling a cranky baby, doing double days of school, trying to keep the littles quiet so mom can sleep and get over this sick-thing, {:(} vacuuming a floor while holding a baby that will scream her head off if I set her down, and watching an unhealthy amount of 24..... this is what I've been up too:

Country music on the intercom in the kitchen while doing dishes.

Making cakes with Addi and Jake. {While they are both still in their pajamas.}

Taking pictures when Hannah doesn't want me to.

Trying to control these 2.

And play practice!

The guys didn't have anything to do, so they helped make paper flowers for a banquet we're having.

Streamer paper flowers. Note: Neva cannot make these.

But Kelsey can! :)

The three brothers.

King Hildebrand and Princess Ida.

Student girls of Adamant. :)

"I don't know how to smile." Suuure.

David and his rose.

Emma reading....

Katie and B. I adore them so much.

"...to fit the wit of a bit of a chit..."

"We may remark though nothing can...dismay us."

Me an' my froggy socks.

Ellie and me. She is responsible for most of these pictures. :) Because I was busy teaching Allie, Isaac and Kyle how to hold their swords.

Sarah!!!

Curly and Isaiah.

I had so much fun! :) And I really can't wait till next week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There ya are. My week. And now my weekend: Iron clothes, watch 24, think about running, fold clothes, make dinner.... See ya.

(Just so ya know, I think checkety should be a real word. It's fun to say.)

Run a hilly 2.5 miles in the cold rain:check
Wave at some stranger in a gross green truck: check
Sing a long to country music while running: check
Stretch: check
Do 25 knee-ups: check
25 jumping jacks: check
20 push ups: check
20 sit ups: check

Die: check

Ugh.

Oh, and get a cold from running in the rain: check

Well, I didn't eat that chocolate cupcake this morning. For two reasons: 1) I knew I probably shouldn't. 2) There wasn't any left.

Now, I admit, if reason #2 had not been true, then I probably would have nixed reason #1 and had a party. With the cupcake and my friend: shame.

But no. Instead I had a bowl of cereal and did my school. And then completed that list of tortures above.

It's a dreary day. One perfect for Spodify and Hot Chocolate.

No dentist appointment today. Mama isn't feeling well. :( and daddy has to work.

So me and my scratchy throat will see you later.

I have been in bed for 2 hours. One of those spent in the land of Psych and journal writing. The other with my head in Asia (or wherever they make fortune cookies) and eyes on the oddly shaped bunny rabbit I see on our ceiling.

Somehow jake managed to sneak up here to sleep, and his very UN-rythmic and very loud breathing sounds are making me want to act like I'm 5 again and cover my ears with my pillow because of thunder.

Today I realized I was destined to be an amazing Science experiment messer-up person. And saltwater is NOT very good at all. I also learned that there are 3 different parts to a pepper thing: one for a spoon, one to pour, and one to sift. You do not want to open the one to pour when putting a 'dash' on your mashed potatoes. Trust me.

Tomorrow, so I'm telling myself, I will wake up and run. Of course I told myself that last night, and instead I had a chocolate cupcake with rainbow sprinkles on it.

I am very tempted to stay up and watch more guilty pleasures, like Psych, but I really shouldn't. Because I have loads of school and a dentist appointment.

One more episode. Yes. Just one. :)

I guess that's what I will call it.

I'm not even gonna say anything about it being almost a week since my last post.

These pictures are from these past 2 weeks.

Play practice: {at long last.}

Gosh. I love these peoples. The are so amazing. And I am so thankful that I have this time to get to know them.

Jessie and Sarah. They are both cooky-crazy and gorgeous and so sweet.

Oh my goodness. I love her! Meet Emerald everyone. She is absolutely awesome and Thursday nights wouldn't be near as much fun if it wasn't for her and her craziness. :)

Madison holding Blessing. B is our little mascot. Everybody loves her.

Caleb. a.k.a Curly. He's awesome. :)

Kristen and Kelsey....

Meredith: one of our super amazing piano players and Princess Ida of the past... :)

Kiersten. Our beast of a choreographer. hehe. We love you!!! :)

Seth the drama king.

Sarah and Madison.

The Aaron...

...pretending to be a girl.

Meredith and Ellie, our page turner. We couldn't do it with out her. :)

Nanners singing her solo. :)

Ellie.

Aaron.

Sweet Annabelle. My first-act-finale-girl. ;)

Mhmm. I'm having a blast. And yes, I'm a tenor. In the guys chorus. Don't ask. ;)

Random.....

2012-01-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

Okay. I'm trying to figure out what I can do today.

Lets see.... There are hampers full of dirty clothes, a sink full of dishes, a Christmas tree that needs to be taken down, a hat that needs to be crocheted, quite a few letters to be written, pictures to be sorted, little boys to cuddle and daddy's website to make. Hohum.

It's January 11th. Today my wonderful older sister turns 18. !8 Y'all.

Dear Nanners, I love you so much. And I hope you have a glorious birthday. Happy birthday!!!

Oh, and I saw on Facebook, that is might snow tomorrow, and I was like, huh? No way. It can't snow tomorrow. We have stuff to do. And if it snows, all I will want to do is sit outside taking pictures of the beautiful snow. Please don't snow tomorrow. Friday yes, but Thursday no.

We started school this week. Algebra seems to have over taken me and my sanity. I'm seriously going insane over it. All the x's and y's and z's. Eww.

Anyway, I have been having this writing problem. I can't think of anything to write. {except for boring stuff like this.} And my camera is dead, and I forgot to charge it. So I also have no pictures to upload. Yet. But tomorrow night at play practice I will take pictures so you can see us dancing and singing and being crazy-awesome. :)

2012-01-07T10:20:00.000-08:00

Spotify = yes.

Josh Turner = yes.

Rascal Flatts = yes.

Five For Fighting = YES.

I love my music.

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay.

^Books I read this week.

Sister-dear adores them. Really. Like, a lot. :)br />
I liked them alright. But they weren't as amazing as I had hoped. But the movie coming out in March just might be.

*sigh*

Okay. So, yeah. It should be pretty epic. At least, I hope it will... Edit: these books are pretty cool. My sister loves them in an entirely differnt way than me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed reading them, and I look forward to the movie!

I have 10 minutes before I have to get ready for play practice. So. Make it quick.

Wait. Rephrase that I'll make it quick.

Quickness....

I don't have time for an organized post. So I thrown a bunch of pictures from this past week. And you'll just have to get it. :)

Blessing. Guess what I had to do after this picture? Clean my lens off. this girl is a slobber machine.

The gorgeous waterfall that was next to our campsite.

Daddy and Scissors. See how wet they are? Well... I was worse. WAY worse.

Some water. I hate it.

I took so many pictures like this. They all look pretty much the same: Scissors. Sitting on the edge {that wasn't really the edge} of a bluff. In the orange hat I made him.

Isaac looking for birds and keeping his distance from the edge. :)

We went to some friends last Friday, and Anna adored Blessing. It was so sweet! {if it weren't for the precious subjects, I wouldn't post this picture. excuse the terribleness. :)}

On a freezing day, while daddy and the boys were inside somewhere, Hannah and I got out to take a few pictures.

Facebook profile pic? I say yes.

Em. Sporting Miss. Z-P-G. :)

Jake. He was so happy to smile whenever I wanted him too.

Books-A-Million.

The sky right before it started snowing.

Jake + an escalator = me taking him up and down it.

Blessing eating mama's keys. Because she got bored of her toy. But I didn't. :)

I had fun waiting in the car for mom Tuesday night. :)

I edited a few pictures, but only a few. You know, the quickness thing.

Well. My 10 minutes is up. I am so happy play practice is starting again. {We had a 2 week break.} I miss everyone.

2012-01-04T15:40:00.001-08:00

"...once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart.... A total eclipse of the heart..."

"...dream on! Dream on!.... "

Ohmystinkin'word. I think I love it when two of my favorite songs come on Pandora one after another. *sigh*

It's 6:04, and I'm pretty sure -20* outside. Insane.

(ahhhh... I'm just gonna say this once, for now anyway, Aerosmith is ammmmazing.)

Okay down to the real business. Cause let's be honest, I didn't sit down to post about the awesomeness of Pandora and Aerosmith.... That just happened on it's own.

(ohmygosh. 3rd song=wondrous.)

So.... I feel absolutely horrid. Maybe it's from not posting in a while or the aftermath of killing hundreds of ants with Windex. Maybe both. I really don't care though.

My year has been so insane thus far. Not really, but that sounded kinda cool.

And.... Camping in the middle of winter and below freezing weather and having to thaw my feet by the fire is soooo last year.

How did the camping trip go? Well, i'll tell you. We ended up hiking for like, an hour in the dark. That plus me equals: falling a few dozen times and running into a tree because I was too busy watching my feet. I also think my feet will forever be scarred from me making the mistake of tripping in the creek, and not bringing extra shoes. (this is where thawing my feet by the fire falls into place.) Also, my sleeping bag kinda ripped down the middle, which resulted in me.... Freezing. It was fun.... But I know for a fact that I am NOT going on another camping trip that i'm not prepared for.

(how does Micheal Buble find his way onto the American Idol Finalists station???)

Blessing is a monster.

I was sitting in the Great Clips waiting area while mama got her hair done yesterday and it was.... Interesting. And awkward. And... Yeah.

Dudes came in, and I was like, "What?" Because their hair was as short as Spencer's and I didn't see what was going on. I don't think I would ever make it very far in the hair cutting career. Not that I want to or anything.

Also, I was this close to starting a random conversation with the guy who was sporting a mohawk (yeah, okay, I understand why he was there. That thing was terrible.) But then I didn't. Because he was so absorbed in texting. And then the old guy reading the Ranger Rick magazine looked like some dude from another planet with his hair stickin' up in different directions. (What was going on with that?) I did talk. I told five different people how old Blessing was and then turned down a sucker from one of the workers (or whatever) because.... Ewww. And it's a good thing I don't care about what people think of me. Because I know for a fact that my glasses and me reading The Hunger Games and letting B crawl around on the floor playing with the 5 toys they had in the corner raised some eyebrows. Yeah some people should never ever make that face.

So. Goodnight. Because I have nothing else to say right now. Mostly because i'm singing along to a Kate Nash song right now, and really couldn't care less that my brothers are forever calling me weird. I'm also debating if I should seriously hit the post button. This is silly.

This is the end to a crazy yet beautiful year.

Tomorrow is 2012. The year we were supposed to be flying and stuff.

It's like 60* outside, perfect weather to go take pictures. So, see ya later. :)

finally. and then some

2011-12-29T06:53:00.000-08:00

As I sit here in the early hours of the morning, listening to a Taylor Swift play list on Youtube, {because I'm thinking that my 'Christmas Cheer' one is a little out of place.} I am finally posting. With pictures from MY camera.

I wanted to post Monday, but after my Aunt and Uncle left, Spencer took me to see Adventures Of Tintin, {a movie that has amazing animation and a crane fight, but that didn't quite make my "Favorite list"} and Tuesday I went to the shop with daddy and Spencer and Isaac and left my new sunglasses at CC's pizza, and wore daddy's coat, even though it made me look like a marshmallow, cause I was freezing. Then Tuesday night mama surprised me with a new {wonderful} coat and then took us older kids out to see War Horse, {a movie that Hannah bawled at and Spencer and me were cracking up just so we wouldn't cry.} Wednesday I went to the shop again. This time Hannah came too, and we swept a floor covered with 3 years worth of dust and metal.

Now on this crazy cold Thursday, two 2-year-olds dance around and the twins read Blessing a Dr. Seuss book, even if she tries eating the pages. Daddy and Spencer are at the shop. Isaac is getting stuff ready, cause we is insane and going camping tonight. {more to come. if we live.}

So. Finally:

Meet my baby. Due to my sister and her crazy friend, I have decided to name it. It is: Neva's Camera.

Nice, huh? Has a ring to it. I likey. :)

This is Blessing. She is adorable and just recently learned how to cluck her tongue, and does so all the time with a face that says she is so proud of herself.

This is Blessing again. She might appear a sweet, smiling baby in this picture, but trust me. I'm pretty sure she was trying to eat me. Monster baby Morse.

Another one. Cause NC {Neva's Camera} is a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Daddy's camera from when he used to be a photographer person. This is the one I hold and pretend it works and click away trying to go back in time and see everything daddy saw through the smudged lens.

This is a rainbow. We went looking for the pot of gold.

This is a building downtown. And that is rain on the window of our van.

This is a phone pole across the street from CC's pizza.

This was my 3rd brownie.

That's Nanner's and her 'baby'. She named it Dietrich. Mmhmm. That gal is weird.

Ride with the traffic y'all.

This is a long hallway at daddy's old shop. Please tell me you love the yellow walls as much as I don't.

This is a window. With sun streaming in and dust going everywhere.

That's me and NC and my Really? shirt Nanner's got me for Christmas.

This is Haleigh and her camera, Damon. Really?

This is Logan telling us how amazing is was to meet Lauren Alaina at the mall.

I'm still figuring out all the settings. {This thing has so many more buttons than mama's phone.} I leave it on one setting, cause Neva ain't good at learning new things quick like. Mama got us 2 books all about cameras and I think I've looked at all the pictures. {Cause that's my favorite part.} Now, I have to read it.

Creed wants me to draw him a Golden Eagle. {I love how much confidence he has in his older sister. I can't draw an apple without it looking like and acorn, much less a Golden Eagle. What does that even look like?}

Now I have to go start laundry and find all my long sleeve shirts and my crazy hat, and all of my socks {Bekah, I love you muchly for the fuzzy ones. :)} and then try to not think about the possibility of a freak snow storm after we get out in the middle of nowhere and think more along the lines of: we can make a fire, bring buckets of hot chocolate and then Isaac and I can get into our crazy mode and laugh so hard we keep warm.

I has to go now. To my pile of laundry and chocolate-less kitchen.

2011-12-27T04:55:00.000-08:00

I have ever so badly wanted to post. But I have been so insanely busy.

And today I'm going to the shop with daddy.

So. Later tonight: yes.

very soon, my peeps, very soon.

2011-12-25T14:57:00.000-08:00

I'm almost about to scream, but that may freak our guest out. So I will refrain, and instead give everyone a web-hug. Ready? *hug*

Okay.

Awkward.

Anyway. I am so happy. Mama and Daddy gave Hannah and I a very wondrous present this afternoon.

I am now the amazingly ecstatic owner of a Coolpix P500.

Yes. That's right. No more terrible-quality phone pictures. No more posts without pictures "...because I can't upload them..."

And, sister dear reformed me. I now think I may actually like the store: Rue21. She gave me wonderful-crazy socks and 3 {!!!} pairs of amazing sunglasses. {you know, for back-up.} I sure do love her.

Welll, I'm off to read the thickest-of-thick owner's manual. The only boring part. :)

2011-12-24T10:01:00.001-08:00

I am at the shop with daddy and Spencer and crazy -cute Isaac. Yes, on Christmas Eve. We is finishing a present. One that might just make my lil' brothers die. It is that awesome.

I am so much surprised that Christmas is tomorrow. Surprised and worried. I hope mama can pick up our present for daddy. Because that would be bad if we didn't get it.

Sharon: I will send you your CD, but I have been so insanely busy, and haven't been able to. Buy I will get it out this week! Thanks for your patience. :)

I am so sorry about my last post! I really didn't mean to sound that way.

I had fun making up the giveaway post. And reading the comments. I guess it was just that I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as big of a hit as I had hoped.

So. Again, I am desperately sorry for sounding that way.

I'm happy to be able to send Sharon and Haleigh some wonderful music. And I enjoyed reading y'all's comments. :)

Thanks for being so understanding. Maybe later, when I have more followers and something a little bigger to giveaway, I will have another giveaway. (One that I expect each and every one if you to enter!:))

Christmas break means the neighborhood little boys come over way early in the morning. And that I could sleep in....if I could.

Hannah and I are going to a luncheon at our dear friend, Ruthie's, today. Addi will be hanging out with the boys. And mom and dad have lose ends to tie up.

I feel as if it should snow. But I pretty much know it won't. Hmph. This makes me mad, because I love snow.

2011-12-18T18:19:00.001-08:00

This is kinda what I feel like right now.

Been shopping all day. The mall for like three and a half hours. Including escalator rides with loud "Merry Christmas's". And jumping in elevators. And ghosting. And singing jingle bells in the book store. And making fun of a Justin B. Cardboard thing. And sitting cross-legged on the floor in the book store reading. And building a Lego tower. And running up on the down escalator. And wishing I was a fly. And skipping through the crowds. And almost jumping from bed to bed. And trying on a gazillion pairs of sunglasses. And singing along to the radio. And almost riding the train.

Now I sit in the van while mom and Hannah are doing secret shopping. And the phone is almost dead.

And.... (I think I have used more than I my share of 'and's' in this post, but I really couldn't care less.) The phone will be dead soon. So I will have to settle with loud radio music and maybe a shout out the window now and then. It's either that or me falling asleep.

And I had soooo much fun playing signs with the peeps at church today.

And we have a full week ahead. Complete with parties and luncheons and family visits and a Quelf party and daddy's secrets.

I love it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I thought my spelling was bad. Just kidding. :p

I'm at my crazy wonderful friends house. The Annaliese and Emmalion and Erin Elizabeth's house. With some weird/strange Maisie thrown in there.

And we were bored. Because our randomness ran out and the ground wasn't wet enough for me and running up hills stinks. So, now we decided to do a post on my blog.

Currently, Annaliese is face down in Emmalion's bed, counting. And my insane sisters {and Maisie} are hiding.

Me and Emmalion are being more mature, and sitting here. Doing....nothing. :)

Annaliese also thinks I'm a fast typer.

41

*screaming*

Are we weird and weird and weird? yes-yes-and-yes. Get over it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay. So my giddiness will overflow in a sec and I'm afraid dear Mrs. Beets will be scared.

Wow. They all left me, and now I'm up here typing all by myself.

So. I'm pretty sure that this post will make no sense to anyone. {even me.} But that's okay. Because we can be weird. And you can deal with it.

So.... deal with it.

g'night.

1,001

2011-12-12T09:25:00.000-08:00

I have been hesitant to post. Because I quite love the evenness of the number 1,000 being on my dashboard. But I guess I'll just have to work harder to make it an even evener number....like: 2,000.

So, as I listen to playlist after playlist on Youtube {because Pandora isn't working, and that makes me sad.} Creed tries his best to help with Blessing and Jake preforms his big brother duties and protects her.

I'm about to sign away my life.... a race this Saturday. A 6.7 mile race. Yay. But I will do it because I want a t-shirt that says I did it. And.... it'll be fun. Cuz hopefully some of my friends are running it too.

Before you run and hide under your bed {like i did.} just know that this doll has been dealt with and will never ever harm anyone.

1.0.0.0.

2011-12-10T10:42:00.000-08:00

1000.

not 100.

One.Thousand.

This is post #1000

Okay. Can I get a super girly and insanely loud scream from everyone right now???? Like, now!

Okay. Ready? *s-c-r-e-a-m*

There.

Ohmyword.

Anyway.

This girl is right excited.

And that being said....

Today I am home. And happy.

Because I found out that rein-deer really can fly.

And I want one for Christmas. So I can go to the north pole and help Santa and his elves.

Purty please???

I would name him Alexander. Because that just so happens to be one of the coolest names ever.

And then I would get him millions of bells and a scarf.

And I would wear my leopard-print Santa hat. So I would fit in, of course.

And then I would buy those curly-toed shoes. In bright pink. {Still trying to fit in.}

So, if you wonder what I'll be up to this week. And forever, then....

Wonder all you want. Because I'm not telling you.

....our song....

2011-12-08T13:34:00.000-08:00

i have little brothers who beg me to play this over and over again.

it's quite sad. especially when i join in their craziness and sing along and sometimes even dance.

mmmhhmm.

that's us.

when i was babysitting Tuesday, {all day} this is what kept us from all crying because we couldn't go outside. imagine this, if possible: 2 little boys, one sweet little girl, 2 crazy twins, 2 neighbor boys and me. in our living room dancing and being crazy, and running and jumping and landing in the splits {jake}. our floor was vibrating and i was sure the house was gonna come down on top of us.

at one point, our floor was covered in foam pieces. {don't ask.} i mean, literally covered. it took me an hour and a half to vacuum it all up.

i finally gave up, and released them out into the muddy wilderness of our front yard, and very soon mud balls were flying and shoes were forgotten to be taken off when they came in and i was this close to bawling.

we also tried to make cookies. this resulted in getting flour and cookie dough and sprinkles everywhere.

then we watched Phineas and Ferb, and i'm pretty sure i love that show. so dumb. :)

then it was nap time for the littlest ones and Jericho time for me.

then we had to chase a dog all over creation.

now, amidst the ridiculous mess of our house, yellow jackets and new shoes and hiding places for Christmas presents and hot wheels, we are getting ready for play practice.

daddy is taking all the little boys and the twins and Blessing out for some shopping, while us older ones and mom sing and play the piano.

it's also ridiculously cold outside. out comes my hat.

2011-12-07T08:33:00.001-08:00

Okay. I love and adore my brothers. All of 'em.

And my sisters. Most of 'em.

:p

My mom is amazing and beautiful.

And my dad is soooo awesome and.... Wondrous.

My dog is adorable.

My boots are warm.

My sweater has paint on it.

My brother's bird, Lala, hates me.

I'm Blessing's fAvOrItE ever.

And Sonic is simply good.

Addi says hi.

It's Tuesday and still raining.

It's 8:31 in the am, and really truly I feel like forgeting the whole get-up-ealier-thing and going back to bed.

But most likely- I shall end up doing school, and laundry, and cuddling sweet baby-girl, and maybe going running in the rain, and hopefully making cookies, and definitely watching the coolest show ever.

And a little being insane. No wait- A LOT being insane.

MY sleep-never

2011-11-30T10:38:00.000-08:00

Last night, I didn't sleep at all.

Us gals stayed up to watch a movie, that just so happened to come on at midnight. It was super-duper-y long. They all fell asleep. Leaving yours truly to her own devices.

Yes I drank a coke. Yes I ate Oreos. And yes, I filled a piece of paper with randomness.

I couldn't sleep, even if I wanted to. So I resorted to a half sharpened pencil and a piece of copy paper, and wrote my name 3 times, my signature about a million....or 10. And a bunch of my favoritest of favorite quotes.

Oh, and the commercials they play in the middle of the night are sooooo insanely terrible.

Dear deciders-of-which-commercials-to-play-people, Please know that there is a girl named Geneva Morse. Please know that she hates commercials about adult-like long johns to keep warm. Or roll-on nail designs. Or saw horses that every man should own. She really dislikes them. Especially if they are played in almost the exact same order every commercial break.

So. I stayed up 'till 6am.

My night included going in to help mom with Creed, because he fell of the bed.

And hunting the cat down because he was being so loud.

And singing a song.

And Almost getting the whipped cream to put on sister-dears face.

I slept this morning. From 6, to about 10. And now it's 1:35. And our baby girl is trying so hard to eat a basket.

I gots to go.

Addi is here, and legos are everywhere, and daddy is there.

2011-11-29T17:44:00.000-08:00

Yes. Addi is here.

She is making good progress in covering our floor with Lego's.

Ow.

And daddy flew out last night, and is now in a really small town doing work.

And we all miss him. A lot.

I ran in the freezing rain this morning. I love running in the rain, and I love it being colder rather than hot, but when the rain feels like frozen needles on your face, and your legs, and your ears, and your hair, it hurts like crazy.

Right now I am talking to my younger brother, giving him directions to relay to my older brother on their way to pick a microwave up. They are lost, and I'm not sure if it's because of my terrible direction-giving abilities, or their lack of smartness. {Personally, I'm for the latter.} Anyway, they are apparently in a really country-area, {According to Isaac.} And they passed some sort of butt-paste factory, Santa, {to which Isaac said hi to.} and an old gas station. I'm having to yell. And who makes these road names up? And Spencer is singing some kind of something...{Isaac, in a high pitched voice: "Oh a Christmas tree!" And then.... "Oh darn. We just passed it." "These houses are creepy." "Is that it?"}

They are there. And I told them to put a smile on, Isaac said he forgot his smile.

...

The aboveness was written about an hour ago. We had to eat dinner.

Anyway.

Now, while everyone else is either going to bed, reading book to littles, and painting, I get the job of watching Boo-Bug. Because I've already leaned on the the wall, which resulted in paint on my sweater and in my hair. And after painting just one door, my hands and jeans are spotted.

Yep. Geneva moment times a thousand.

Christmas is in the air.

2011-11-28T10:10:00.000-08:00

And I love Christmas.

Our tree is up, and making a mess with it's falling pine needles.

Ornaments are ready to be put on the bright green branches.

Candles are being lit.

Coldness is all over.

Scarves are being crocheted.

Secrets are being...secreted.

And my brothers truck almost got stuck in the mud. Hehe.

And....27 more days. Because about 7 of my siblings are counting down.

when in doubt...

2011-11-23T09:33:00.000-08:00

...yeah, I got nothin.

Anyway.

Except for maybe listening to Disney songs on Youtube with your little brothers who dance around and think they know the words.

This is a picture of a text. One that I sent to Sister-dear and Haleigh, when sister-dear was over at Haleigh's house for what they call a sleep-never.

And it's just one of many.

New favorite thing: Text randomness.

It's really fun, and super good therapy if you need some. Which I did.

That, and Krispy Kreme.

"Eeeeaasyyy..."

2011-11-22T14:12:00.000-08:00

I listen to this song when I'm in need of calmness.

Then I just turn into a complete crazy person, singing my heart out, and going crazy over how amazing Natasha Bedingfield's voice is.

I read this post, and almost cried. I don't think I'll ever let my older brother get married. Ever. Sorry bro.

My voice is ever-so slowly coming back to me. Thank goodness. And it's raining outside, turning the whole world a shade of gray that makes me want to be a rainbow and go sprinkling my rainbow-dust everywhere.

{But then, I always wanted to be a rainbow, and I'm pretty sure I'll never think my life complete 'till I am.}

Thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow. That means turkey, corn casserole, pumpkin pies, chocolate pies, and the the best part: whipped cream.

Rascal Flatts is a hero of mine. Well, I should say his voice and his songs. Because, I love and adore them. So.very.much.

Oh, and Haleigh is 18 today. Happy birthday, my dear non-normal person. Remember me. And remember this little shout out. And remember that you are awesome and amazing and gorgeous and sooo crazy. And please stop talking about those darn corn chips. Thank you, and goodnight.

Not that anyone needs this fact to be announced, but: I have the cutest little brothers ever. Everyone in the world should know that.

2011-11-20T11:51:00.000-08:00

My dad listens to Ray Charles on Sunday afternoons as he gets ready to go hiking. And Creed dances around because it's on really loud.

And I am super ready to chillax, and either read, write or watch. ;)

I just thought I'd let everyone know I am still here. I just haven't felt like posting. :p

a day in the life

2011-11-18T09:04:00.000-08:00

This past Thursday was fun, this here Friday feels like a Saturday, and I'm sooo ready for a sundae. No cherry and extra chocolate.

Ya feel me? Thought so.

Anywho. {Okay, just wanted to see if that makes sense. My sister says that all the time. "Anywho", and I'm like, "Any--any--" and then I'm stuck trying to come up with a cooler word than 'who' to put on the end of 'any'.}

Any--never mind.

Just... I'm...moving on.

The Older Brother {how ya like them apples, Scissors?} and sister-dear are out spending the day with friends. This includes Rue 21, Target, maybe Clair's, and let's just throw in Old Navy because...and that's only Spencer and Logan's choices. ;)

And I'm here. Listening to the play list titled: Dream On. A mix of songs my awesome sister put together. We are soooo a like. I mean, Aerosmith? Seriously? Yessss.

Creed's over there ever-so concentrated with drawing a picture of...of...something. And everyone else is scattered. {"...meet back at the camp come sundown."}

It was rather interesting this morning while we were cleaning. We had music on, and everyone {mostly me.} was singing along. Now, I'm practically hoarse, and can't talk normal at all, so no doubt, I sounded terrible. But nobody else said anything about it, because everyone in this house is hoarse too, and we all sounded terrible. I know. Seems quite sad. But at least we sounded terrible together. As a big, happy family.

No. That wasn't the interesting part. This song came on. And before the singing even started, I asked Creed what song it was. He looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, "Seriously?" then he said. "Um, Crazy durl." {Because sometimes 2 year-old's g's get turned to d's, and then the i misses it's friend the g, so the u takes it's place. Make sense? I know!} Then, when the singing does start, he is singing it word-fer-word. Almost.

It's almost freaky how smart the kid is. But then, he does have a pretty genius older sister named Geneva to learn from.

Oh, and while I was folding laundry, with my special helper, I learned how to fold socks. Yes, I said socks. I now know they have to be folded so-so. Creed was very excited about his new career as a sock folder. I might just think twice about simply throwing the socks in a huge pile next time I fold. Or not.

This Saturday-like Friday is half over, and I haven't even eaten a Twix bar. Oh the horror!!!

Okay. *gulp* I have to go.

:)

that ohmyword-this-is-so-good-i-might-just-die recipe

2011-11-15T08:47:00.000-08:00

Okay. So, remember when I said mama was practicing for Thanksgiving? She was making this amazing Corn Casserole. I am almost hesitant to share, because sometimes people just don't realize what they have on their hands, and don't treat it with enough love. But on the other hand, I am super stoked {never EVER thought I would use that word.}that I am the one to share it with you.

Just remember. This recipe is positively wondrous, and it MUST be handled with much care and made with tons and tons of love. Okay? Got it? Cuz if I sense something going wrong, I will track you down. And you'll be sorry you didn't listen.

Okay. So. There.

Now, go and enjoy it. And while your going back for seconds and thirds, {if you can stand that much awesomeness.} think of me.

Corn Casserole

1 box of Jiffy cornbread
1 egg
1 can of Cream Corn
1 Can of regular corn
1 8oz. Sour cream
1/2 cup of melted butter
Milk (according to the Jiffy box)

Mix it all up, and bake it at 350 for about 45 min. or until desired consistency.

yes. i know this song by heart.

2011-11-14T15:41:00.000-08:00

And it might just be the most depressing song ever written.

I actually slept in today. No, it's not good. Not at all. It was pure......terribleness.

And, ahem, I had a cup of hot chocolate, but I did a very naughty thing. I doubled the amount of chocolate.

Ugh. Not too good on the healthy side of things, but I needed it. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't drunk {or is it drank? or drunken?}that cup of super chocolaty hot chocolate, this post wouldn't be here. I would've have gone completely insane and probably run away to the park to swing and swing and swing all day.

So be thankful. 'Cause I know you're glad this post is here.

{On the other hand, going completely insane and running down the huge hill to the park just to swing sounds fun. If it weren't dark already, I would totally do it.}

;)

We're painting! After months-no, years-we're finally buying paint and Spackle and all the stuff you use to paint. I got to paint the sample on the walls. Twice. Mama was ever-so hesitant to let me, but she finally gave in. And who's to care that I wrote 2 huge and crazy messages on BOTH of the walls? Me either.

Most likely though, any hopes and dreams I had of being an amazing painter, went down the drain. Because, mom surely won't trust me with the actual process of painting where it matters. Where people will see. Oh well. I guess I'll just go with the plumbing profession.

Speaking of plumbing, I fixed something under the kitchen sink today! All on my own. Well, I had to call daddy and ask him how, and really, all I had to do was switch a switch, but still. I fixed the disposal. And nothing blew up, or cracked, or anything! I would've been in the happiest state ever possible, but then I remembered that huge counter-full of dishes awaiting my amazing dish-washing skills. Then I had the strange feeling of, "Man. Why couldn't I have not been smart, and not figured it out?"

And speaking of oatmeal---wait, I probably should've said "thinking"---Creed is obsessed. He asked me like, 10 times if I could make him some. Each time I told him that I would. After I finished cleaning the kitchen. When I finally started on his beloved oatmeal, he was seated at our 14' long table. Talking my head off! {I have no clue who taught him how.}

He asked if he could eat his oatmeal downstairs.

I said nope, you have to eat up here at the table.

"Don't leave me all alone up here, peez, Meva!"

Ah! My big-sister heart melted. How sweet. Then he continued...

"...cuz I can't wasth my bowl. And you has to."

And now. 2 little boys are wrestling on the couch, Creed is playing with his stick-bow, Jake is being adorable, Blessing is--wait, where is Blessing?--Hannah is somewhere and the twins... no doubt are somewhere being goofy.

And me, well I'm headed up to read.

Hannah and Spencer went to a basketball game tonight with friends. (I wish I could've gone, but nope. Didn't work out.)

Anyway, I heard that for some reason my blog was mentioned. And, ahem, someone (who hasn't even read it.) said something about it. Something that I guess wasn't very nice.

Hmph. (pouty face)

epic fail

2011-11-10T13:37:00.000-08:00

That's exactly what it was.

My creativity level is very low. When it comes to crafts of anything that takes smart thinking, I think I'll leave it to more..more...smart people.

I ventured outside today, rain boots and red shorts, in search of something to maybe look loverly on our porch.

I read a blog yesterday, she made a gorgeous wreath out of branches and leaves and stuff that is oh-so easy to find around here.

And I decided to be productive, and try it.

Fun-fact: I love and adore woods. But the small patch of woods behind our neighborhood-house, is so pitiful compared to the acres of it on the mountain I miss so much.

I went into the woods in search of pretty leaves, pine needle branches, and colorful berries. {No, of course I didn't eat them.} I found three things. One of each. Yeah, I'm picky.

Okay, long story short, my amazing idea to make the front porch look beautiful failed and failed...and failed some more. With the epicness on top.

It was so sad. I felt Martha Stewart cringe.

I scrapped that thing and returned to my bed with my book.

When in doubt, read a book you've already read 4 times.

Yep.

And now,my dear readers, in my effort to still make things beautiful around here for fall, I turn to you.

And Google. Because in the 11,700,000 results there are when you type easy fall crafts...for dummies, there has to be something I can do without causing further damage to anyone or anything around me.

So please. Give me ideas. I'm desperate to have something to occupy me when the dishes are done, my school finished and no babies to rock. 'Cause I'm seriously tired of reading the same book.

6 months of amazingness

2011-11-09T09:30:00.000-08:00

{Please excuse the terrible quality of these pictures. I have no idea how they got this way. And it makes me sad.}

Blessing Amelia is 6 months... last week.

{fyi: this is her playing with the furry balls on my boots. :)}

We have loved every minute of her being with us.

Here, she is sitting in my lap, most anxious to play with the keyboard, so, a message from Blessing herself:

/,m enbgvxsnh hmc h icjihg; ouyh

Translation: Neva is the best sister ever. And her blog is awesome.

Aww. Blessing, how sweet. :)

2011-11-08T06:06:00.000-08:00

I got up too early this morning to run. It's cold. And I breathed smoke. And my legs hurt.

And I figured something out: If someone wanted to burn something, without being noticed, these early fall mornings would be perfect.

How random and scary is that? I can't believe that actually crossed my mind, but it did. As I was running up the stupid hill in our neighborhood. The fog is thick these mornings.

And now I have to go do school.

Three hours

2011-11-07T16:57:00.000-08:00

We have a website for the play. One that the cast can go to a discuss stuff.

One of the discussions started, was: Three Hours. If you had 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon, what would you do? All expenses paid.

And this is what I said:

I think I might take the grayish/blue {amazing} Ford Bronco I pass almost everyday, and take it somewhere open and just drive. I would have an old-fashioned Coke bottle and S.P.K.'s to go with it. {And I ~~might even~~ I most definitely will take my bestest of friends. {The one who lives entirely too far away.}} After driving with the top down, and our hair blowing every-which-way, we would sit on a hill, and have a picnic lunch and talk about everything we've missed the years we haven't seen each other. But then, how about another Saturday? With another 3 hours? 'Cause if that was the case, then the next Saturday, I would take my older sister, {in the same amazing Ford Bronco, Cokes and all.} and she would get a wonderful-like camera, {for me. :)} and we would dress up, and go downtown and takes TONS of random and glorious pictures. Okay, so there's mine. Either-or really, but I'd rather prefer them both. So let's have 2 Saturdays with 3 hours. {I'll stop there, because if I sit here long enough, I could come up with #3, 4, 5, 6... and so on. Oh, and all expenses paid, right? Like, I get to keep the Bronco, and camera?
