Monday we went down to Portland to stay with my grandma. That afternoon we went over to my friends house. Then on Tuesday we went to my aunt and uncle's house with my grandma. It was cool to see my cousins again!! We all just hung out and then went to Dairy Queen. I got an Oreo blizzard and it was de-lish!!!!! YUMM YUMM YUMM!!! Then Wednesday we came home and are at home now. It was fun in Portland, but it's nice to be home and get to sleep in my own bed instead of in a sleeping bag! And then today I got to sleep in and we just hung around the house. Oh.....I got these funny cat pictures in an email. I'll post them below if it will work.      Well.....It didn't work so I'll try to post them tomorrow or whenever I get on next. G2G.   Tootles!

WOW!!! It has really been a while since I wrote last! So my Christmas was fun! I went to Portland and got to see some of my friends and most of my family. I was awesome! The ride there and back wasn't as fun though. I got some cool gifts!! I got a super cute shirt from my friend, a really pretty necklace from a different friend, and this cool digital clock for my ipod to dock into from my parents. I got more, but it would be too much to write. (That's also all I can remember. ) So...my new years was also fun! I went to our neighbors house for a while and then to my church for some games. Then I spent the night at my friend Karrin's house. We had a good time!   Yep yep. So....yeah. I got to go. Bye 4 now.

Hi peoples. How are y'all? I'm tired (as you can probably tll from my title.... My youth group had a sleep over Friday night and I only got around 3-4 hours of sleep. It was really fun though!!!! We played a lot of games. Most of them were a take off of basket ball with fun rules. We also played volley ball and our own version of a pictionary type game. So I am now tired and a little sore from playing all night and some of the morning. I also got hurt. So we were playing a game where you run from one side of the room to the other and try not to get hit by a ball that the person in the middle of the room is throwing. I was one of two people left and I was running close to the wall. There was an alarm box thing on the wall with a metal bar over it to protect it from getting torn off of the wall when we play games. Well, I was running and didn't see it and I ran into it and hit my head pretty hard. It ripped my earing a little bit and bruised my head. I also knocked one side of the bar off of the wall. The good news was that I won the game, the bad news, I got hurt doing so. Yeah. We also watched The Night At the Museum. It was pretty good! I fell asleep during part of it and my friend Sara woke me up by poking me. Well, I always freak out when people touch me when I'm asleep and I will swing to punch them without knowing what's going on. Well I swung at her and luckily I didn't hit her. And later I fell asleep while Our youth leader was teaching (it was 3 in the morning and I fell asleep!!! I felt really bad!!). Anyway, she had to wake me up again and this time she grabbed my feet so I couldn't hit her. It was really funny cause when I woke up every one was watching me to see if I would swing at her. Then after that all of us girls talked while the boys played guitar hero. Then I went to bed. When i woke up it was time to eat. Breakfast was REALLY good!!! We had eggs, pancakes, and hash-browns. YUMMY!!! Then I got ready and my mom and dad picked me up and we headed into town. I ws like the walking dead....no joke!
       So anyways, it was LOTS of fun!!!!!!!!!! What have yo been up to?

              G2G,

       Tojo        

P.S. Two more comments until I have fourty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey peoples. Sorry that it has been so long. I'm going to share with you now a story that my friend Karrin and I wrote back and forth one day in the car on our way to go swimming. Here goes...oh and by the way, the stuff in pink is by me and the stuff in green is by her. Ok so here goes:

  Once upon a tree, there was a cow who ate hippos. Then out of the red moon came a gi-normous corpulent termite. The cow (who was secretly a super-hero) quickly ran down to his secret lair. And then, out of the termite, came a man-eating man eater who quickly scarfed down all life forms in sight. Sadly, he didn't chew anything and so all life forms continued on with life inside of this big guy's belly. So all the people screamed as the invasion of the honkin spiders began. Quickly, the obiese cow jumped in his spandex-super suit and rushed to the aid of his friends. But just as Mr. Moo-moo got the tights on, Super Sinister Saliva Suckers came out of his skin pores and began oozing out ooze. A ravenously hungry dog was passing by at that moment and he saw the ooze that was coming out of the skin pores. And lightning fast, the dog recognized the ooze as food and began eating the cow. And they all died sadly ever after. THE END!

So what do you think? Pretty weird huh!  Guess what!?!!!?!!! Last night I was sitting at the computer checking my email when I felt something crawling on my neck. I put my hand up to get it off and it was a wasp and it stung me!! It hurt really bad!! And of course it had to be right before bed time that I got stung!! I went to bed around 9:00 and didn't fall asleep until 11:00 because it hurt so bad. I was stung on my middle finger on my left hand. My finger is still swollen and still hurts. In fact it is really hard to type with out using that finger!!! Oh well. How are you all doing? G2G,

i am the worlds most wanted teenager except i am four hundred and eighty two and i don't like lima beans and this is not tojo. i don't like computers. they often smell of decaying fish bladders and as my grandma says, your bladder is gladder when its flatter. but thats not staying on task so i'm going to go light my fire torch and burn down the whole ocean because if you add a certain amount of salt, oceans become non flammable. love and kisses to all the wonderful amphibians of the world (but only if their seven legged)...........as always, don't eat me.

O.K. That was my neighbor writing above. I am at here house. We got back a little bit ago from hiking and swimming. It was really fun!!! We even jumped off of a bridge into the water. That was a mojor addrenaline rush!! I was scared to do it, but I did in the end and now I'm proud of myself!!! So yeah. I start school the 28. YAY!!! I'm going to be a freshman in public school. I'm oober excited!!!! Well G2G. Dinner time. See ya. Tojo

PS Please comment!!!!

PPS   (I think that's right) The top part was written by my crazy neighbor and the bottom (normal) part was written by me. TAH TAH FOR NOW.

TODAY IS MY B-DAy!!!!!!!

yay!!

O.k so anyway, today I am now 14. Hip-Hip-Hooray! I'm going to have a friend over and we are going to have cake and open presents and then maybe watch a movie. I'm happy!

Ok. Last week I went on a missions trip with my youth group. It was totally awesome!  (I'll put on some pics if I can.) We went to Wishram, WA which is a very small town with a drug problem. We did VBS for the little kids and a youth group for the older kids. We didn't stay in Wishram. We stayed in tents in a camping place called Maryhill park. During the VBS we did crafts, songs, missions, games, bible time, and snack.....not in that order though. On wednesday when we got back to our camp ground we found that the girls tent had completely flipped over and all of our stuff was all mixed together. That was a major bummer! Then on thursday our tent broke and we had to sleep in the boys's tent and the boys slept outside. I really enjoyed last week! It was a time for all of us to bless the kids and get closer to God and each other. Ok. Now for the pictures.

The three girls hugging me (below) are (from left to right) Miranda, Alex, nd Estella. Alex and Estella wanted to take me home as their sister. It was really cute!!!

This little guy in the blue is Elijah. He is 6 and he could pick me up and that is all he cared about. He was really sweet!

This guy below is Gabe and he gave his life to God while we were there! PTL!

Below is a kid named Micah and I. Micah was my buddy the WHOLE week. It was really fun 'cause he would follow me and always wanted to be with me. It really made me feel special!!!

O.k. I might add some more pics next time. But so long for now.  (Please ignore the date on the pictures!!! It is wrong. My camara was being weird and so yeah.)

P.S. Please comment! It is so very boring when you don't.

I tryed posting it, but it covered all of my fancy things on the side. So I'm just going to say poopoo to the tag and go on with life. MAN OH MAN!!!! My arms hurt REALLY bad! I had two shots and my blood drawn today! I do not want to see another needle for a while! .  Also.... drum role please......I'm going on a missions trip on Sunday. We leave on Sunday at 6:00am for a place on the Washington/Oregon border called Wishram. I can't wait!!!! While there we will be doing VBS for the younger kids and we will be doing more of a youth group thing for the highschoolers. I will have to give my testiomony to the highschoolers at some point in the week. Please pray that I don't freeze up! So anyway, I'm really excited! Oh!!! My birthday is coming up soon!!! I'm going to be 14! Crazy! Also, school for me starts on the 28. That seems way too soon! Well, I g2g. (Times up.)  Toodles,

 We went swimming on Tuesday. It was really fun! We went to a place called 3 Rocks(it has other names too, but my family calls it 3 Rocks). It was really rapidy where we went. It kind of scared me to have to jump into the rapids and swim across. It took me a while to get up the courage to jump in, but in the end I did and I am very glad that I did! So we (my dad and I) swam around in the water and then we crossed back over. Getting back over was a little trickier than getting over the first time.
 In a way this kind of reminded me of our walk with God. When we make the first step in decicing to follow Him we think that the rest will be easy. Then we come to our obstacle and are ready to give up. Some will give up and turn back and others will perservere and keep going. In the end you will be glad that you perservered and will get you "reward".
 So yeah. How are y'all? I am doing fine myself. I went to Bible study yesterday evening. I really enjoyed it! We are going through the book of Mark chapter by chapter. Yesterday we did chapter 5. So.... I'm not sure what else to write so I guess that I will get off.   TTFN  (Tah Tah for now)

I'm excited! Even though I loved being homeschooled this past year, I like being publiced.....(like my word!!). Ha. I went to the dentist last friday. I am happy to report that I have no cavities and my teeth look lovely. The floride that they gave me was descusting!!! blugh! It was strawberry flavored foam that they put in mouth guard and that I had to put in my mouth. It gagged me!! So yeah....again. I better go. I'm not supposed to be on here for very long. So tah tah.

Once in a land of magic there dwelt an old sorcerer who desired a dragon to keep him company. But dragons were expensive in those days so the old sorcerer (by the name of Wynn) decided to go on a quest to capture a dragon and bring it to his home in the mountains.
He packed his belongings and a case of Pepsi and set off, humming the hit song I Was Made To Loaf. He hadn't gone far, when he came to a deep, deep, trench, stretching as far as he could see to the left and right.
So Wynn opened his limited edition copy of “Simple Spells for the Stupefied Sorcerer” to page 142 and read the directions that were written there. He heeded them and after gulping down three cans of Pepsi (sugar was the one thing that calmed his nerves), belching twice and chanting a few magic words, Wynn felt himself flying over the trench, well half way over.
He fell about twenty yards when he felt himself being lifted up. At first he thought that his spell was working again, but in reality it was the dragon that was taking him upwards!
Scared he looked down. Suddenly he felt himself being pulled down again.

One of my old youth leaders sent these questions to me in an email and so I thought that I'd share them with ya'll. These really make you think about what is important to you and how important it really is.  

- Would you rather be absolutely gorgeous and dumb or amazingly brillant and ugly?
- Would you rather be the most popular person at school and have a bad relationship with your parents or have a great relationship with your parents and not at all be popular?
- What is your current biggest struggle?
-How important is what others think to you?

See what I mean? They really make you think!!!!

So we get home from church and found that our cat had had issues while we were gone! GROSS!!! And so we took Max(our cat) into the bathroom and I got to give him a bath. YUCK!! GROSS!! NASTY SICK AND WRONG!!!!!!!!

So anyway, my friend Hali who was up here visiting for a week left yesterday to go back down to her house. We had a LOT of fun together!!! We went swimming, watched a few movies, went for walks, listened to our Ipods, slept in (ahhh!!), and did a whole bunch of other stuff!!! It was really fun!! I miss her already!

YAWN!! I am tired!! Wait...no not tired...just...enjoying being lazy this afternoon. Well I g2g. See ya.

YAY!!! Hali is taking a week off of camp to come up here to the ranch.  We had  a lot of fun yesterday (despite the fact our skin looks like a crossbreed between pumpkin and tomato with the lovley texture of  asphalt).Naw, it's not that bad, and I'm going to have a ripping tan. Here is what we did (no I'm not schizophrenic, it's going on her blog too, so excuse me when I refer to myself as "Torie")

Yesterday we woke up at 9:30 and enjoyed a lovley breakfast of bagels with creamcheese or peanut butter. Hali showered and then both of us straighted our hair, brushed our teeth, put on makeup etc.We went up the road to the forsman's house where we talked to her friend karrin who was giving medicine to her two horses, mighty and neito (nee-toe) We took turns riding on neito with karrin down to the main pasture and led mighty. Then we went back to  Torie's house and had lunch (bagels with creamcheese and turkey and pepper, chips, and gramcrackers.) HAli had some iced tea. then we went back up to the forsmans and Karrin made iced coffee, and torie made iced hot chocolate.  Then we went to the rope swing by  the river and talked for a while. That was fun! Hali nearly bashed into the tree and died a few times, but thats to be exspected. WE all went back to torie's house got our swimsuits and went into the river and waded. We found an old plank and made a bridge on some rocks. We turned it into a dam connecting to a bridge and ended up making a complex waterway with a triangular rock island.  Karrin had to go, then we dunked in the water and sun bathed (apparently) too long. Torie's dad drove up and gave us a ride to the house, where Torie's mom had made a delicious dinner of chicken stuffed with swiss cheese and ham, with corn and broccoli and rice and carrots. YUMMY!!!! We did some gardening for torie's mom and walk around the loop with the alumbaugh's (alem-bahs) big beautiful german sheperd, charlie. WE brought our ipods and rocked out the whole way. When we got home we watched a movie and then went to bed we talked a little and listened to a bit of music then drifted off, plesantly exhausted, ready to do it again tomorow (nvm...make that today!)

This entry is deticated to my absolute bestest best friend! Her name is Hali. Even though we are far away (since my family and I are missionaries) she is always there for me. I can tell her anything and she understands. She will write me letters even though I'm terrible at replying to them and she will call me to just talk. I just want to say thank you to her!!!         So...I challenge any and every one who reads this to comment and say something nice about their best friend or if you have a blog, to write something nice about them on that. You can also email them and thank them. Best friends are really a blessing!!!!!

well besides myself and tojo being the only girls on this loverly ranch............its quite fun. so as i was already wanting to say.........jump starting your computer every afternoon to fry your pancakes doesn't always work very well. but when you use the w-d-40 well that works much better. so i love everyone and their grandma and i hope you all are having a very splendid life. make sure to eat lots of pine cones and peacocks. love and kisses!!! as always.... the most radical person in this whole entire world wrote this.. namely.......radical hank (a.k.a. the cool one of the flying h boys ranch......yes thats right.......i'm a man)

That interesting piece was written by my friend and favorite neighbor whose name I won't mention who is NOT a man!!!! She is the girl that I went to school with. She is a little weird, but that is normal!!! This little clarification has been written by tojo who is the owner of this blog.     PS. Do not take any of her advice seriously. She was kidding...... I think. Well I've got to scoot so chow.

I am soooooo tired!! We are having resolve here at the ranch. I stayed up til 9:00 which isn't late and then got up early this morning. Plus I'm not in my own bed. I'm in a sleeping bag on an extra matterise(I didn't spell that right, but oh well.). So yeah. Later I get to babysit the cutest baby I've ever seen. Her name is Joli and she is 9months old. She is teething so she slobbers a LOT!! But she doesn't seem to cry much. I don't know what else to write. Tonight their is going to be a fish release here at the ranch. One of the boys's teachers raised some salmon and he is going to release them into the river near here. Thinking of the river reminds me that I want to go swimming. Except it is too early and too cold right now. Maybe I can go swimming later if it is warm enouh and if I have time. We don't need a pool up here! Because we have the Naches river. The river flows near here and we walk to it and swim in that. It is quite nice because we don't need to pay any money to clean a pool and get clorine or pay to go into a pool. In fact, we have no need what so ever of a pool! WoW!!! I am bored. So bored that I'm writing about pools!! Ok. G2G (GotTo Go). Bye.
My sisters say hi to whoever is reading this!

One thing that is different between homeschooling in a co-op and going to public school(I've done both now) is that in Public school you don't get very much homework, if any at all. In the co-op that I was in, we got a LOT of homework. I don't know which one I like better. Public school is nice, but I also like being homeschooled! WOW!! I am bored! In fact I am so bored that I am comparing schools. Oh well. I'll talk about my day. Lets see. I woke up (DUH!!!), watched a movie and then cleaned the house. We are having a thing at the ranch called Resolve which is where the ranch boys's parents come up and then they go through a counseling type thing  and then the boys go home for a leave. While they are gone one of my friends is coming up for a visit. *yawn* I am so tired!! I think that I'm going to wrap things up now soooooo.....chow!

YAY!!!  My mom finally let me get a blog! I am soooo oober excited! So yeah. If I write I expect who ever reads this to write a comment....please. It makes it so much more exciting for me!!!! So........oh, I'll write about me. I am 13 (almost14) years old and I live in a little town in Washington. We are missionaries at a ranch that helps troubled boys between the ages of 14-18. So yeah. My life is really interesting!!!! I am the oldest of three girls and this last was my first/last year of homeschool. We have a ginormous cat who likes to sleep on my bed. Ick!!! Cat hair!!!
  So if you haven't noticed I'm kinda bored and excited and tired and hyper and I don't know what else!!!! I'm not sure what else to write, but I'm just going to keep typing and typing and typing and typing what ever comes to mind. Ok. Nevermind with that idea. I think that I'm going to wrap things up now. Soooo yeah......Bye.
