2012-01-22T09:33:00.000-08:00

The title is what I'm listening to at the moment. Mwahaha.

Anyways, time for pictures!

Sitfo says "Hey baby."

"There's so much Sifto to go around. And AROUND."

"I only want you to know, I love you."

For your information, he's talking to the bacon weave.

Mmmmmmmm bacoooooon.

Or the bacon roses.

Or the entire breakfast, for that matter.

You know how sometimes in movie's there's so much people that a person could run on the heads?

I could SO do that when our family gets together.

Wood!!

For fires. Mmm...fire...

Mooie say's "Hello, Sugarpuff."

"Call me."

Ice-ah-cubes!

That's what I called them. *Cough* Still do...

Nom nom nom.

The Mother and Critter playing YOU GUESSED IT Angry birds.

Notice their hair is the same colour? Is that the lighting? O.o

Kitty Kitty Cat.

*Doze*

Hunny and Big Fat Abe!

Lazy Unamused Kaia!

Daw haw haw.....Big Fat Abe....

Kitty Kitty Soft Paw.

It's so pretty.

Murdoch hides from Grandkids up there.

Or from me...

I can't resist his teeny mew. He's such a baby! *Heart melts*

Ahem.

Anyway, I'd better go.

I think I hear Murdoch calling my name...

No wait, it's Tiana.

Bah.

Bye bye for now!!

Love, The Paina.

I've got moves like tagger.

2012-01-16T09:13:00.000-08:00

Right! Let's get her done.

1. Describe yourself in seven words.

Semper solers enim occasus certo eatenus ad-finem. (Ad finem counts as one word. :P )

2. What keeps you up at night?

My brain, thinking of characters for stories or pictures, thinking...thinking...Always thinking.

3. Whom would you like to be?

I don't mind being me, to be honest.

4. What are you wearing now?

Pajamjams. Though I might get dressed. Might.

5. What scares you?

Linda.

6. What are the best and worst things about blogging?

Best: I get to go blaaaaaaaaaaaah all over the place.

Worst: I hardly ever blog, and I'd like to do more.

7. What was the last website you looked at?

Facebook. I have no notifications. *Community Channel emo cut*

8. If you could change one thing about yourself what wouldit be?

To be less disrespectful.

9. Slankets – yes or no?

I don't like blankets. I tolerate them in winter because it's cold. So no.

10. Tell us something about the person who tagged you.

My mother tagged me, and she's all like "Taggity taggy tag tag, Elena."

Whom are you going to tag to join the quiz?
Well, since my family was mostly tagged, I tag me. But I've already done it, so EAT IT, ME!! >:D

Poem.

2011-12-09T10:10:00.001-08:00

So here's a poem I wrote when I was either 10 or 11 (No idea which.) Feel free to laugh hysterically and make fun of me. I know I do.

The Day The Cow Was Gone! Elena Billson.

Kayla Mathason came outside one day,
to give the barn animals lotsa hay,
when into the stall she saw with eyes,
something that did surprise,
her so much she nearly dies,

A Cow Was Missing!

Her eyes did pop,
Her heart did stop.
She did not know what to do!
she ran to the house,
he ma was ironing a blouse,
When,

"MA! MA! MA! A cows been stolen!"
Ma was worried, Ma was scared,
She then stopped and then declared,
"I hope it's not been taken past road eight
then Pa can catch up and shut the gate!"
So, Kayla ran to the field,
to find her pa to wield
A double barrel shotgun,
Now its begun.
Pa was angry, Pa was Mad,
Pa wanted that cow back bad,
He grabbed his truck and his gun,
He sped down road eight,

BUT

What he saw made him laugh,
Because right on the path,
Was the cow eating Grass,
That's That!

Love, The Paina.

Waltzing with a camera.

2011-11-28T11:00:00.001-08:00

It's Pictcha time again! Yep yep yep.

Coon!

Unfourtunately, this big fella got away.

Unamused Kaia....

Is not amused.

Encyclopedias!

Shiny....

Linda in her lampshade.

On her laptop.

Tiana in a bandana...

On the computer.

CAT!

Rolling his eyes.

Toothless face!

Toothless from 'How to train you dragon' In case you were wondering.

DISTORTED CAT FOOOOD!!

AAAAAAALL THE WAAAAAY!!

It's so beautiful.

"Play?!?"

She was laying down, then hopped up when she saw me and snorted. Cruel.

SPLASH-AH!

Run that by me again...

KABOOM!

Tee hee hee Ford.

So bad.

Christmas lights!

On the deck.

WOLF PAW PRINTS! :O

Naw, just Kaia's.

A goose!

Shinyx2.

Cleaning the laundry room, I've been labeling everything.

EVERYTHING.

Tiana killed the wallpaper.

And there's two different shades of brown.

I glued these to Hunny's kennel.

Marr harr.

Nobody understands EmoHunny.

Poor sad EmoHunny.

Why is Abe grimacing?

No idea.

HALO TOY SET UP!

Death to UNSC.

More Halo set up.

Critter didn't actually know I was doing this...NINJA!

Anyways, that's about it.

I'm runnin' off away now!

TEAM SANGHEILI!!

I'm a Geek. I am.

Buh bye now!

Love, The Paina.

Blog without pictures! Haven't done that in a while.

2011-11-24T05:18:00.001-08:00

So Linda darling Linda made some changes to my blog. She changed the post thingy, so now it's different and new and I'm figuring it out.

However, since something was changed I could not let it be the only thing.

So I have to change everything.

It's weird, really.

Also on the menu, Reid Douglas was born November 21. :D

Being as there's so many of them, I forget which are the older ones and which are the younger ones.

But I do know the oldest and youngest! Justin and Reid. :)
Then there's some tossed around, some in the same year....some are twins...Yeah.

Going back to the changes topic, Tiana is changing our room.

We're like an old married couple.

"I want to move this."
"But I like it there."
"It's old and ugly!"
"But I like it there."
"It's in the way!"
"I like it there." *Stubborn head toss*
"FINE." *Frustrated huff*

It's kind of sad.

And I hardly win, but that was one of the rare times. >:}

So like, bro fist all.

I'm out.

"WHY?" you say, "I'm reading this!"

Because, humble one, I am hungry and grouchy and I can't think of anything else to write.

Oh, except that David and Kate and possibly their brood are coming Sunday! ^.^

Which deserves a spot in this blog.

Yeah huh.

Right!

I must be off!

My mouth tastes like old coffee!

Funk down, y'all.

Love, The Paina.

What's up in the hood...

2011-11-13T07:42:00.000-08:00

Lots of stuff!

Tractors out plowing...

Seagulls screaming insults...

Tiana giving me the toe.....
With both feet...

Emo Hunny....

Being emo....

AND SIR REGINALD....

BEING CUTE.....

SIR MOOSALOT.....

ALSO CUTE.....

Booger lickin' good.

Nummy nummy.

Mooie does the 'Me Gusta' face well.

Especially when he wants milk.

Like Reggie here.

Gulp slurp butt.

Would you get up early in the morning, survive drool and head buttings in places unmentionable, clean up mustard poop, and listen to pathetic moo's for this?

The answer is yes, yes you would.

And if you wouldn't, you're a heartless old bat that hates babies.

I'm off.

Love, The Paina.

Not365 timez again.

2011-10-24T10:16:00.000-07:00

It's that time of the......Month? Week?

Um, it's that time of the time again!

EVERYwhere I go, I am always followed.

Since I am they're 'Caretaker' they believe I MUST have food in my hands.

No, Henny hens, it's a camera. *Snap*

Mmmmmm, faaaaaaall.
My heart melts for you.

Golden corn!
Appreciate this! I had to walk across half a field to get to it.

Piano sisters.
In BLACK AND WHITE!

More pretty pretty fall.
And a Tractor. Right THERE. Hiding.

MMmmmmmm crispy leaves....
Nom nom nom.

CONTRAST!!
I love fall, can you tell?

Duck.
The only Duck.

Half and half!
Like the coffee. Or the cream. Or the Inbred.

Dan the Man who Can.
He is laying shingle. And furrowing his brow at something.

Tiana!
Pretty.

Me and Tiana!
Less pretty.

The two (Or one) tallest trees in the bush.
Or, as Tiana calls them, bunny ears.

Creepy crawler.
And another.
On the bridge!

Bilbo Chewface.

The rat that lived exactly 1 week in the Billson household.

Me!
With gel.

FIYAH.
Pyromaniac right here.

Another Tiana.
Rather creepy.

Patrick's thumb WUVS YOU!
<3

Patrick himself doesn't.
RUN FROM LE VIKING!

So many boys....
So little time.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Oh, it's just Linda.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

Hannah baby!
Naw haw haw.

Tiana's poodle.
Fab-bu-lous.

Critter on a dog.
Pretty dog.

CANNING.
Mommy is so proud.

Anyways.

Wood stoves are awesome.

Just like YOU!

And a penguin! {'v'}

Sorry. Had to show that off! I made it meself. ^.^

So, bro...gotta go.

Hope you've enjoyed!

And if you haven't; Scrufflelump puxlepuff to you!

You know who you are.

I'm rambling.

I'm out!

Love, The Paina.

I'm not dead!

2011-09-21T08:16:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I am here. I know, I know, I'm a terrible person who never ever blogs. ~.~

But hey, I'm here now my nizzles. :D

Guess WHAT?!?!

Chicken butt.

As most of you know, I hold chickens in high disdain. Never liked them.

And so, I am evil and devious to them.

Like right here, for instance.

"Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauck?"

You'd think a creature would hate being buried up to her neck in gravel and sand.

But Mrs. Henny hen hen here?

She loved it. It was like an epic dirt bath to her.

And she only got out of this delicious warm sand because Hunny chanced to come up and see what the hey ho hardy her buddy was doing to the chicken.

So she got the same treatment.

Hilariously enough, Hunny didn't mind it either.

And almost fell asleep. She dozed in it.

I called her and she was reluctant to get out.

The question is, was I kind to them, or cruel? 'Cause they both seemed to enjoy it.

I mean, it was warm and cozy in there.

But, I must go now.

I'm off to bury Critter alive if he doesn't get the eggs. ~.~

Peace out!

Or not...

Raise war!

Now that's more like it.

Love, The Paina.

More Pictures...

2011-07-04T06:55:00.000-07:00

...Which are old. BUT in my defense, every time I tried to download my camera somebody was on. >.> So yeah. Lame excuse, I know.

Anyways, And STOP.

HANNAH TIME!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. My favourite model.

For the fact that she's the only one who will actually pose...

Pretty pretty.

Flowers.

A small bit of her, anyway.

Fattys gravestone.

We put buttercups on it.

Tiana lives among the buttercup people.

They are a "Happy" lot...

I likey dis one.

I should have cropped out the tops of the trees at the bottom though.

Daisy!

I took another one like this, but my knees where in it with no hope of being able to crop them out without cutting out more then have the flower.

Sniffa sniffa.

Loves the flowers.

PREEEEEEEEEEEEEETTY!

I must have taken 60 pictures till I got the one I wanted.

Oceans of buttercups.

So many.

Black cat wine? For Mommys finger? From the Black cat?

Sarah, you weirdo.

Abe and Kaia.

Both with dumb face expressions.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Naw haw haw.

Pretty moth.

Big moth.

Anyone like some Butterfly porn?

I has some. Butterfly porn. The Mother made me take. *Shudders*

Linda ALWAYS plays like this.

'Cept she's not wearing her lampshade.

Enough food, Sarah?

Yes? No?

Linda is light. Patrick is Buff.

The perfect combination!

Sisters, Sisters.

There never was such a thing as sisters!

Babys.

Are cute.

WHY do I have so much Linda?

Oh yeah....Because she's hilarious.

Speaking of hilarious....

WHAT.....THE......HECK.......

Aww. Big, Lanky, Funny Lookin' Cyrus.

He's so pretty.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNND That's it.

Sue me later!

Complain humans rights to me!

I must go and Chill with the peoplez who live here. Can't ignore them forever.

Paina out.

Love, The Paina.

Alrighty!

2011-06-12T10:33:00.000-07:00

It's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime for another Not365!!

Because Momma loves you, my babies.

First of all, I woke up with this hair, so I took a picture.

The face is just an added effect.

Dan! Isn't he so pretty?

Don't look now, but I think he's laughing because your flies undone.

A swan! Pwetty pwetty swan.

On greenish water.

Aryanah!

With some thumb suckin'.

Bleeding hearts.

I STILL think that's an odd name for a flower.

Abeeeeeeeee! With a big smile. I'm pretty sure I took this the day Fatty died...

Poor Abe.

Teeny tiny ant butt.
Nom, sweet nectar!

Blossoms.

More blossoms.

Have I told you I love blossoms?

The sun set!
I love this shot.

People drinking are always giving me an evil eye!
It's radical.

Close up of Hunny.

She has her Daddies eyes.

Sarah!

Because I can.

Patrick! With his bull neck.

Excuse me while I wipe the drool of my face...

Aryanah again.

She's so sweeeeet.

I love this face. So Lucky I caught it.

So funny.

Patrick again.

In Johnny Bravo attire.

Pretty bush that Dan and I told to die. Its still alive.

And thriving.

Buds! (Yes, most of these pics are super old.)

I like it.

And THAT'S my not365!

Now I got to go.

And....do things.

Like....stuff I do.

*Cough*

Bye!

Love, The Paina.

If I had A million dollars....

2011-06-02T07:52:00.000-07:00

I'd pay the radio to not play that song anymore.

Seriously. That song irritates me. You can't BUY love. *Snorts*

Anyways, We have a New Dog! Her name is Kaia, and she's 8 months old.

Boy is she pretty.

No pictures yet. My camera is currently out of batteries and I keep forgetting to charge it.

I know I know, I'm evil.

But baby, I was born this way.

Speaking of which, We are born Sinners.

Yep, it's true.

I was born Gay. A murderer. A thief. An Adulterer. A liar. It's only through the Grace of God that I don't most of those things.

Except I do, because yeah, I am a SINNER.

I have many flaws.

I commit murder all the time. I steal things out of stores. I lie.

And since I am a Christian I repent for it.

But I am capable of anything.

Psalm 26:2-3.

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; Test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.

I love that verse. Actually, I love the whole chapter.

Anyways, excuse my ramblings, I must be off.

The Mother wishes my presence.

Farewell, Peepzez.

Love, The Paina.

More random opinions! (I know you love those...)

2011-05-15T07:37:00.000-07:00

I don't like being touched. By physiotherapists, chiropractors, or any other person not related to me. But I'm glad they make me feel better.

I don't like stupid drivers. Morons who make dad slam on the brake so hard the augers fall out.

I love photography. We'll be driving and I'm looking at everything and thinking of what pictures I'd take, what would make a great picture, and stuff like that.

I don't really care what my hair looks like. I just don't want it to short because if it is I brush the mole on the back of my neck and it grows another inch.

I don't like farmers staring at me when I'm dumping the truck. Heck, I don't like being stared at PERIOD. But especially when I'm working.

I'm not a fan of tiny dogs.

I'm a huge fan of giant dogs.

I love driving past Amish people just to see their gorgeous horses.

I love beating people at stop lights. (I blame The Mother for those genes.)

I love to speed. (Also The Mothers bad genes.)

Every time I think of my birthday and think "I'm turning 17 this year." It freaks me out because I remember when Sarah turned 17. (Not that your old, Sarah. You're just older then me.)

I'm so glad I'm homeschooled. High schoolers are odd. Odd, I say.

I miss the pool. I can't wait till we set it up.

I love watching peoples faces when I tell them how big my family is.

I love to draw on myself. And on walls. And on paper. And on other people. And on magazines that Daddyrit is reading.

I miss bin lifting. Which is weird, but I do.

I love music. And when they took away my playlist I was very unhappy. But I found a new playlist place! Mixpod, I think. Arsome. http://www.mixpod.com

I do not believe that work environments make you swear. I think if you choose to swear, there you will. I'm around Effins effers all day. It might have a little something to do with it, MAYBE.

Have I mentioned I love driving? If I have, sorry.
I love driving.

I love making people laugh.

I love food.

I don't like bananas.
I ate a half a banana absentmindedly and then noticed it look odd so I split the thing in half and found a tunnel with bug eggs in it.
I don't like bananas.

I love coming up with parody's for songs on the spot.

I love asking dad "What car is that?" And He'll glance at it and tell me what make, what year, and whether it's a piece of crap or not. It really passes the time.

I love mooing at cows. Especially when they moo back.

I love the smell of McDonald's.

I love rain. And wind.

I love figuring out how to do things. Like fix the sink, put music on my mp3 player. Its fun learning things.

I love knowing all the lyrics to a song.

I hate remixes of good songs. They make them TERRIBLE. Djs: Don't remix a good song. I will find you.

I love singing a song that goes EXACTLY with the conversation.

I love being able to know a song by the first few notes. I can change it lightening fast that way. Rihanna hasn't reached my ears in ages. ^.^

I HATE public washrooms. I am SO jealous of boys. They don't have to sit on other peoplez butt prints. Gargh.

I love Starbucks coffee. I had my first EVER Starbucks coffee the other day. And I swear, I can Never go back to Timmys. I might have too because they're cheap. But its reluctantly. I am addicted to Starbucks.

I love when people comment on my blog. (Hint hint, peeps.)

I love finding out people think the same thing about something that I do. "YAAAAAAAAY I'm not the only freak-o here!"

I have to go now.

The Mother wants me. ^.^

So, if you hate my thoughts or think I'm odd in da head, let me know.

I'll likely ignore it anyways....

ROCK ON, Paina fans!

Love, The Paina.

Hunt on, Paina fans!

Love, The Paina.

Ode to Sifto.

2011-04-26T08:07:00.000-07:00

When Sifto lays down on his belly, he looks like a beached whale.
When Sifto sleeps, he's so cute that I take a trillion pictures of him.

When Sifto purrs, He sounds like a hemi engine.

When Sifto has a bath, He looks so ridiculous I take a billion pictures of him.
Because Sifto is so Picture Purrfect, I have fun with him.

ESPECIALLY After he has a bath.

That's all, Folks!

Love, The Paina.

Edited picture!

2011-04-18T09:47:00.000-07:00

So, my awesome besty Nikki showed me how to work gimp. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of it.

The original picture:

Basically I upped the brightness and contrast and added a verse.

The turnout:

Not too bad for a beginners first time. XD

I'm gonna have fun doing all my piiiiictures....

Adeena: I'm working on the April thing. And now I am figuring out how to edit. THIS. MEANS. WAR. >:}

Love, The Paina.

Curse their eyes.

2011-04-11T10:14:00.000-07:00

Okay, so, many of you know I tore a group of muscles in my shoulder.

Those of you who didn't know that are going "Wow, really?" And sending me a sympathy hug.

Anyways.

The Mother booked me an appointment for tomorrow with the Physiotherapist.

Gargh.

I'll let you know why it's gargh.

There's three reasons, Painalets. 1. I hate being touched. 2. I hate being looked at. 3. I don't like people. Oh, and another. I HATE HATE HATE hospital gowns. I mean REALLY? You might as well dress me in mosquito netting.

I'd actually almost rather just deal with the pain.

And I don't like writing out forms. "Circle one: How would you describe your pain? 1 2 3 4 5."
It's annoying because I'm seriously sitting there, staring into space, wondering if the groaning of my shoulder is a 4 or a 5.

Or if my definition of pain is different then others.

So yeah. Don't like them.

I'm going to grind my teeth and suffer through it,though. Just so long as he doesn't try to put needles in me. I can't be responsible for my actions if he does. If he finds himself missing a hand, I blame him. >:}

Signing off; feeling like crap.

And sorry if you don't agree with me and think my head is on backwards. XD

Love, The Paina.

Hello, loyal Minions.

2011-04-07T14:16:00.000-07:00

So, Fergus managed to murder my shoulder.

And, because I have T.P.O.T.N.I. Syndrome, (To Pissed Off To Notice Injury.) I just kept working lifting over heavy bins.

Yikes.

So now I'm typing with one hand. So if there are typos, blame that.

Anyways, SO looking forward to the knights thing. Heck yeah.

I have to go now. So yes, this is a sort blog. But at least it's a blog. Unlike DAD who hasn't posted for a year. So there.

Oh, and I can have tea again! YAAAAAAY!

Love, The Paina.

Random pictures tiiiime!

2011-03-29T11:16:00.000-07:00

And now, for another picture frenzy!

Aryanah, sitting as happy as a bee in spring.
Just so cute.

Sarah, giving her special "Sarah's eye."
Similar to "Adeena's eye." I dunno which is eviler, but I'm leaning toward Adeena.

Three Dumb Blondes.
Or, also known as ETC.

Steaming mug of Coffee?

YES PLEASE.

Kitty!

And a Zombie.

Us Dorks, we hang out in bathrooms.

And take pictures in bathroom mirrors.

Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this guy:

Sorry it's a bit fuzzy, but...Yeah.

Happy 19 birthday PATRICK!

You do know that means I'll be nineteen in two years, right?

Anyways, while you remember the days I toddled at your heels and sob, I'm going to go outside.

Smell you LATER!

Love, The Paina.

What's been going on around here...

2011-03-28T06:44:00.000-07:00

Okay! So, let's begin, shall we?

Ducky, styling in his heels.

(Sorry about the mess, I swept it up after taking this...)

Me, and my new blonde bangs (Courtesy of Heather.) With Murdock!

Puuuuuurr.

Pretty Kara.

After going for a walk.

Ooo it's a SCARY TREE!

I'M AFRAID!

Crayfish Creek.

Fully swelled.

Here we go, For Walkies!

Accidently had black and white on...

WHOA!

Ahem. Moving on...

"Smile Kaitlyn! No, smile. TEETH!"

That's all she'd give me.

Patrick, with his new CAR!

Vrrrum... I haven't ridden in it, by the way. >.<

WHOA!

Ahem. Moving on...again....

Tiana, you are gorgeous.

Welcome to the dark side. Mwa ha ha. (Said like Sheldon.)

Linda and Ducky!

Ducky seems to be eating in a LOT of my pictures.

Little chicks.

This one is Critters. Jane.

Me and MY chick!

Her name is Bootyface. And she doesn't like being held. Which is fine with me, because I don't really like holding her.

Hating chickens and all that jazz.

JAZZ HANDS!!

And no, I can't make a normal face.

It's like asking Bootyface to do something intelligent. We'll just both give you "Say whaaaaat?" Faces.

Anyways...

SEE YA!

Tea time.

Love, The Paina.

2011-03-17T09:31:00.000-07:00

I asked Linda what to write about, and she said "YOUR FACE!"

So, my face... is face like.

And I really need to stop asking people what to write about.

Because sometimes its UNNECESSARILY INTIMATE!!

Here.

^Now you'll know what I'm talking about. :)

So anyways, Joy's party/sleepover thing went well.

And, guess what: You know how all cameras were banned?
Well, I brought my camera anyways and it was sitting in my stuff, happily untouched, and JOY took it OUT and took PICTURES with it.

*Tilt of the head ADUH face*

Confusing.

However, it was fun.

'cept for the fact I didn't sleep for five days straight.....

To let you peeps know, I have NO idea what to write about. So I'm gonna toss random things here and there.

I love Doctor Seuss...

WHAT is wrong with burping? I mean, it makes my tummy feel better. And I don't think I WANT a boyfriend that won't let me burp. Seriously.

"You burp? I AM NOT MARRYING YOU ANYMORE!!"

Anyways...I have to go. Its a beautiful day and Linda wants to take me for a walk.

WALKIES!!

Love, The Paina.

PS. Sorry for the randomness-awfulness-weirdness of this post.

STALK YOU LATER!

Our house.

2011-03-03T13:40:00.000-08:00

I took this picture a while ago. So there you go.

Now I'm gonna go watch a movie. :D

And yes, that is it for today.

That's all.

Noboooody knows, the troooouble I've seeeeen....

Love, The Paina.

And a one...and a two...

2011-03-02T09:42:00.000-08:00

SING WITH ME NOW!

WE ARE FAAAMILY!!
I'VE GOT ALL MY SISTERS WITH MEE!

WE ARE FAMILY!!

GET UP EVERYBODY AND SING!!

OH YEEEAH!!

Linda is just freaky and intimidating.

Even when he head is twice the size because of a hood.

Levi......

I have nothing to say to you.

YEAH WE ARE FAMILY!
La da da da...

It's interesting to see how we all have our cameras out at this moment right here.

Pictures much?

Three little artists!

Emma looks annoyed with me.

oh Trenton, how you kill me.

Seriously.

Linda again.

And I think Adeena in the background.

MUMMY!!

Smile!

Buddies.

And Lego.

Justin!

NICE HAT!

Heidi.

"I WANT TO SEE!"

Becky.

Again.

Nathan....

What the heck?

I took a series of pictures of Quin, and this is the best of the bunch.

Sad, really.

Duckman!

Eating!

WHOA!!!

Let's...move on.

I'm surprised Tiana stopped picking her nose...

Hee hee.

Hannah!

With piece-of-junk-doesn't-work-camera!

Wesley.

THE CUTENESS! ITS TO MUCH!

I have taught them well.

Mwahaha.

And, half-hearted-telling-Dad-to-give-me-back-my-camera-smile.

He wouldn't give it back till I smiled for him.

Meanie.

And, if you are related to me and you're not in here, you can only blame yourself.

Either you're never here, or you're only here very rarely so I'm to busy hanging out with you to take pictures of you.

So there.

WE ARE FAMILY!!!!!

Love, The Paina.

Hazzah fooor

2011-03-01T18:18:00.000-08:00

GUESS WHAT?!?!? Daddyrit, my lovely Fadder, Downloaded mine CAMERA! And taught me how to get AT them!! YAAAAAAAAAY!!

So. Here's a series of black and white I took.

Critter. He's TRYING not to laugh as I tell in detail what I'll do to him if he doesn't co-operate.

Evil meanie.

TIIIIIIANA! She was ALMOST as hard as critter to get to stay still.

"No, hand HERE. Look down. Up a little. To the leeeeeft...."
I'm a jerk when it comes to posing for pictures.

Critter again.

*Smack smack* STAY STIIIILL!!

Me. Gotta have a self portrait in here.
Check out my RINGS! [Insert girly laugh here]

Nikki! I actually really like this one...
She was trying to HIDE. And I GOT HER! AH HA!So, who likes my SOOC black and white?

Anyone?

Huh huh?!

I happen to love B and W.

So yeah.

I'm not Racist against Racist pictures.

Linda, you know what I'm talking about.

This: RIGHT HERE!

Anyways, Have fun guys!

And...take pictures!

And don't follow my example of writers block while writing blogs.

It's revolting.

Like my brain went to a soupy glop of blobtastic jelly.

Rock on, Fellowship!!

Love, The Paina.

ACKA BLAK NUGGIN WAAAGH!!

2011-02-28T07:00:00.000-08:00

Pardon my French.

In other words, Mothers Computer is a piece of junk. I can't download my camera!

Which means, no pictures!

With means, I'm stuck TALKING again!

No pictures to fill up my awkward brain halts, daydreamings, and various screaming-while-committing-murder interruptions. I'll let you guys figure out which one of those isn't true.

While I have your attention, I'll let you in on a little secret: I Love it when Jay needs my help.
Because, He's a beast. And when I first started doing the bins, I could only dump the quarter full ones. So I needed him. And boy, would he GLOAT.

"Awwww, Little Gimpy wimpy needs my help."

He called me gimpy because this is around the time I sprained my hip, and limped.

And NOW, I can dump over heavy ones with confidence.

Because, I can climb into the truck and dump by pulling from the inside, which is ten times easier then doing it from the ground.

And so, when we're working and he's dumping bins while I take a turn pressure washing (Because I'm nice, and faster at it.) And he encounters a super heavy one, HE has to come to ME and ask me for help.

I haven't gloated yet, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't grin every time.

And seriously? How often is it I get to hold something over JAYS head?

I've said to dad, Its like comparing a Jack Russel to a Pitbull in a fight.

I love my big Brother.

He's fo shizzel.

And, yes, people: The rumors of me wearing my hat sideways are true. And the reason IS that when I'm pushing a bin and my hat's straight, the visor hits the bin and knocks my hat off. So, I turn it sideways.

Gold in my mouth, hat turned sideways, PANTS ON THE GROUND!!

Yeah.

I'm bad.

I'm Dirty.

And I'm LOVIN' it!

See ya!

Love, The Paina.

Hello, Family!

2011-02-21T09:28:00.000-08:00

It's family day!

A holiday that hasn't made it to the Calenders yet.

I'll try to make this a GOOD post since my last post was a Major Flop.

But in my defense, YOU try writing a blog with Dan and Patrick screaming at you to get off.

Wusses.

Couldn't handle they're game lagging for five minutes.

On a different note, I am REALLY hyper today.

My dearest family, I am sorry but there are no new pictures right now. 'Cause I haven't downloaded my camera.

'Cause apparently Mom's comp doesn't have memory.

Or something.

I have no idea. I'm just a girl, Tee HEE!!

And, just because I know you want one, OLD PICTURE OF SIFTO!!
He's such a BABY!

Apparently, Mom and Dad want me to go place my Royal Bottom on the couch and visit with them.

And drink coffee.

With Molasses.

'Cause we're out of sugar.

So, everybody, at least this post kicks the CAN of my previous Family day post.

But now, I must get to my Fans. They crave me.

PAINA, AWAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Love, The Paina.

So its Valentines day again...

2011-02-14T09:13:00.000-08:00

Yes. It is. However, I don't think I'll write about it. Cause I'm a REBEL. And, heck, a Bad influence too. XD

Alrighty. Lets start. With things I love...

I asked Nikki what to write about. She told me many things, and one of them was how much I love her. >.>

I only said that 'cause I know it'll make her squirm.

I love you two! Tiana, you kill me. Nikki, you know I love you.

I love HER. Kara, that is. She wouldn't quit smelling my hands.

You Dork, Kara.

Because she kills me. That's why.

ZOMBIE LADAAAAY!

Me and Rachel. Its time foooor GAY TONGUE CHICKEN!! As Sarah calls it.

Love you, Rachel! Thanks for being my Hairdresser!

Oh yes.

That's how it is.

ABEEEE! So CUUUUTE!

AWW!

Hunny. Because I said so.

And she loves me.

Look at his tiny horns!

Such a Dummy. He loves ladders.

"Talk to the paw."

I love Ava, and the piano. When other people play it.

Like Ava.

Here's a whole lot oh Lovin' for ya.

Kaitlyn is DESPERATE to get into all pictures. And Aryanah wouldn't stop moving.

So, Things I love. Oh, and I love all the rest of you too! Don't feel left out!

My heart is big.

There's enough ElenaLovin' to go around.

You know you want some.

I mean, you just can't resist. I'm just so attractive.

So anyways, LOVE today, peeps!

Extra Love, The Paina

Iiiiits tiiime foooor...

2011-02-10T07:48:00.001-08:00

Not365!!

*Crowd cheers*

Alrighty. Lets start with Kara.
My love. She's SO worth freezin' my butt off morning and night. And frequently in the afternoon...

Snow! See the tiny snowflake?!

LOVE my camera. LOVE.

Baby Aryanah!

Doesn't the raised eyebrow make you GIGGLE?

Linda. She watches you. ALWAYS watching. Even while enjoying coffee.
Beware.

Tiana! And Nikki! And me!

Tiana's always out of the loop... ITS TONGUE TIME!

Ava says "Comment on Elena's blog. Ya got that PUNK?"

"Yeah that's right, poopynuts."

I love this pic of Hunny. And that's her toy whale. Her favorite thing ever.

Either then licking Abe's teeth, of course.

HAND STAAAAAAAAAND!!
Oh yeah.

Gorgeous sunset yesterday.

I've got two others. Of the same. 'Cept different angles.

AWWW! To sleepy Kitty's.
They were all up in the attic today, the demons. I had to climb up into all the cobwebs and bird poop to save them, after JUST having a shower.

I still love them.

I mean, I just take a glance at that picture and I could forgive them for anything.

Well, maybe not everything...

There. That's my Not365. All these are SOOC. So.

I'm off to save the daaay!

Or wreck it.

Depending on how hyper my coffees make me.

Rock on, guys!

Love, The Paina.

Random thoughts.

2011-02-07T14:54:00.000-08:00

I like Mondays. Most people bash them, but to me they're just fine.

I love P!nk.

I love Kara. She has a fascination with me right ear. She likes to lick it. Causing me to jump and shudder. She LOVES getting a reaction from me; And wonders at me when I ignore her licking my arms and wrists. Even though it feels like someone covered my arms in a thin layer of wax, I don't mind it.

I love Hunny. And Abe. And Fatty, even though he's wack. I spent forever trying to get good pictures of Hunny, who believes the camera will shine a red light on the ground and she can chase it. So she ignores me UNLESS I have a cork or her toy whale. Then the battles on to keep her STILL. Abe and Fatty give me a look of "Why? WHY are you doing this to me?" And go to sleep.

I love my friends.
Including Nikki. Even though she had the NERVE to force a book on me with false information.
She wants me to cry. I have NEVER cried at a book. I haven't even misted. I'd like to, And I have met books that made me want to, but I have an inability to cry.
I finish it with a flip of the page and a heartless laugh.

I love my family. And the shocked jaw-down looks people give me when I tell them how big my family is. Priceless.

I love photography. I love taking pictures and looking at other peoples pictures.

I love and hate music. Some make me want to scratch my ears out and curse the people that call them music, and some I can rock out to while a write a blog. At the moment I'm listening to Hotei from Kill Bill. LOVE this song.

I miss Linda when she's gone.
I drove in a blizzard for the first time the other day. So far, Linda's probably been the most fun to drive with. No offense, Mom and Jay. You're awesome too!

AND I prefer driving the pick-up to the other two. The Caddy makes you think you're going 50 when you're going around 95, and the van is just so HUGE. It's like driving a freight train.

I don't like people. They freak me out. I am not a social person. Sorry, guys.

Dad raises his eyebrows at me and thinks I'm crazy for not wearing a coat. Ever. But I have a lot of energy. So I move. And when you move, you get hot. So I'm prancing around happily outside in -30 with the wind while dad sits in the warm truck feeling frozen.
And he hates me for it, I bet.

I love being an Aunt. But I don't like being called Aunt Elena. It makes me feel old and senior...I like being Elena. I think the kids prefer it to. Its easier getting tossed off a snow pile by Elena the Paina then Aunt Elena.
I mean, whose gonna say "I got tossed off a hill by Aunt Elena!"? People hear 'Aunt' and think of old ladies. Or at least I do.

I have trouble with authority. Elena is boss. People must do what I want. I'm working at it. But its a long battle. I don't LIKE being like that, but its hard to break out of habits. And I habitually argue.
I'm sure my siblings are ready to sic a MadCow at me.

I like haircuts AFTER I get them, but I'm reluctant to change.

I'm to sexy is playing, and I'm dancing, and Quin called me weird. Nooo, REALLY Quin? REALLY? Who told you that secret nobody knew about?!?!?!

Ahh, sarcasm.

I don't like cooking, but once I start I begin to have fun with it. I don't like baking. Just don't.

I love reading other peoples blogs. I read blogs before even going on facebook. SHOCKER.

Anyways, these are just some of my opinions. I have many.

But now, I must go help the Mother make supper for some Ryan rotters.

Quin says Ryan Rotters are awesome.

Rot on, Guys!

Love, The Paina

Perfume, I hate you.

2011-01-24T10:27:00.000-08:00

I have a weird allergy.

Well, I have bunch's of allergies...

But a really weird one is perfume.

Shooba it makes me sick.

Yesterday at church, I was feelin' fine, when all of a sudden it felt like someone took a dirty dusty rag and shoved it into my lungs.

I leave, choking and gagging to the bathroom, composed myself, got a drink of water, and when the coughing stopped, I snuck back in.

Right away my throat closed (That's what it feels like.) And I had to leave again, choking.

I STAYED in the bathroom.

Course, there's different symptoms.

Nikki can tell you.

I once nearly fainted THREE times on my way out.

And collapsed and nearly fainted in the bathroom stall.

Have you ever fallen down in a BATHROOM STALL?!?

Its awful.

Germs.

Ick.

So, yeah, I was REALLY sick. Once church was over I basically went up to mom and said "Lets leeeeave."

Once I was in the van I felt better.

Mmmmm clean air.

My muscle under my ribs was killing me.

Coughing.

I missed the service, but I got to socialize with Dan and Patrick on the way there and back.

So it wasn't a total waste of a trip. XD

Love, The Paina.

Holy frozenness, BATMAN!

2011-01-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

Well, fellow Canadians, it's mighty cold out there.

It's like -50 with the wind.

I miss this. Couple days ago that's what it looked like.

Now, I can hardly see through the window.

Depressing.

The snowblower on the tractors broken.

Some pin broke.

Or something.

Anyways, I had to shovel the driveway.

With the tractor bucket.

OHHHHH, THE HORROR!!!

Naw, I'm joking.

Wasn't hard.

I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE winter. Love it. I love wind, snow, the snow covering the tree's...

I just love it.

I'm sure that my siblings with Renaud's are going to chase me down and kill me now.

Probably strip me down, pour hot water on me and chuck me into a drift.

I still love winter.

In other news, LOOK how cute we used to be!!!

AWWWWW!! Me 'n' Linda. I used to be able to smile.

Ah, those were the days.

Now, it's THIS:

I'm sure I just caused Adeena a heart attack.

Or anybody else, for that matter.

Think about it this way: You have pictures to use against me.

Pictures are mean sometimes.

But BOY are they fun.

Seeya next time!

Or never...

Some of you might leave my blog and never return.

"Stupid weird-picture-taking-Cold-lover!"

Ahh well.

I'll always have these great times.

Love, The Paina.

Not 365...

2011-01-20T09:31:00.000-08:00

Since I know I'll NEVER be able to do the 365, (Either I don't take pictures, don't remember what day I took them, or am not allowed on the computer.) I'm gonna do Not365, which is basically posting random pictures whenever I am able. (Sorry, GPM. I have failed you.)

Oh, and all these are SOOC. I have no idea how to work photoscape.

How about some Hunny to sweeten the deal?

The cutest horse ever. No exceptions.

I mean, LOOK at that face!

Linda with her monster hands. I have small hands. Smaller then Mom's. I am SHAMED.

I liked Sarah's eye picture, so I did my own. (I don't mind scary eyebrows. I just GOOO with the FLOOOOOW. Of scary hairy.)

Sifto is the BEST cat. Ever. The other cats if I point a camera at them they run screaming. Sifto poses.

AWWW!! Sleeping, purring, happy Kitty!

Soft kitty warm kitty, little ball of FUUUUUR!!
Happy Kitty sleepy Kitty purr purr puuuuuuurr!!

You friendly neighborhood Photographer SALUTES YOU!

Have fun!!

Watch Big Bang Theory!! (Soft kitty is Sheldon's sick song. XD)

Love, The Paina.

Today is the day...

2011-01-18T09:21:00.000-08:00

I feel freakin' OLD!!

Ugh! I swear if Justin gets any older, I'm gonna stuff him in a freezer.

He's TWELVE!! That means he'll soon be a TEENAGER!! Makes my head ache.

Also, today is the day that last year we had an accident.

Me and Dan.

^That's him and Linda, he has Baron Von Evilsatan, Linda has Sifto.

And this is Yours truly on Christmaaaas!!

YAY! An attempt at smiling! I WIN!

So, anyways, I was thinking today how if I died, I would have missed a lot. I wouldn't see Justin turn twelve (Gags). I Wouldn't have seen a lot of things. I'd be with my Saviour, and I'd be so freakin' happy, but...I'd miss out.

There are SO many things to be thankful for. I sometimes forget how blessed I am.

And, think about it Peeps, If I had died you would have missed out on THIS:

What a lovely FACE! XD

Oh, before I forget, sorry about my previous blog. I got some complaints.

It was a vent blog.

Vent blogs are evil.

And Jeff is the OPPOSITE of Nerdy.

Isn't he SO cute? I just wanna dunk him in my coffee.

Mmmmmm coffee.

That's all for now. :)

Drink coffee, Peeps!

Love, the Paina.

Curse your eyes, BLOG!

2011-01-16T08:34:00.000-08:00

You know what SUCKS?!?!? When you can't access your pictures. However, what sucks more is when you can access them, but can't do anything with them. They just sit in a folder and STARE at you while you try to put them on a blog, or facebook, or paint, while people say "Wheres all the pictures you've taken with your GloriousfromHeaven Camera?"

Well, my good man, They're stuck.

On Dads computer.

Which I am forbidden to touch.

So, sadly, No pictures for you till I download onto Moms.

On a different note, I dislike stupid drivers. And stupid bike riders.

"Oh, LOOK! The road is icy and there's a big truck coming! I think I'll cut in front of him, slam on the brakes and turn!!"

Retards.

Dad stood on the brake so luckily he didn't get crushed.

There are times when I feel like swearing. I never do. But I FEEL like it.

Like when stupid people stand there and STARE at me. And smoke and blow it my way.

And stare at me.

Just creeps me out.

A couple days ago I was at work, and I got freakin' HOT, so I took my sweater off and did the run in a T-shirt.

People stared at me puzzled.

I can understand, because it was -20 out, But I still didn't like it.

I want a shirt that says "Staring for long periods of time could result in a foot to the face."

I'd wear it everywhere.

I am NOT a people person. I will never speak to anyone, unless they do to me.

I'm getting better at answering.

I can do whole SENTENCES!

Rather then "Hi." [Hurries off as quickly as possible.]

I can even joke.

Like this lady was being bugged by the men, and she asks me "Do you have to work around men?"

And I said "Yes, That's what happens when you have five brothers."

And she said "Oh Gawd." In the most hilarious way. Basically like Ursula's mother on George of the Jungle.

Although, I don't like people who THINK they're funny. I never know whether I'm supposed to laugh or not.

Also, I don't like short, nerdy guys.

Not you Jeff.

Other guys.

Guys who say "I'm supposed to be on lunch." And try to speed you up by "Helping" to lift the bins.

"If she can do it, I can do it!!" And he stands there, Pushing with all his manly might, not moving it. At all.

And I have to figure out a way to dump the bin over top off him.

It takes me twice as long as normal, 'cause he "Helps" with every single one.

If I wasn't raised to respect people, I would have screamed "GET OUT OF THE WAY, PUNY MAN!! I'M WORKING HERE!!!"

Its no wonder Dan calls me Herculena.

I probably could have tossed the guy.

He was Sho Small.

And he claims to live on a farm. With cows.

I don't believe him.

March onward, Peeps!!

Love, The Paina Herculena.

Sunshine lollipops!!

2011-01-06T08:33:00.000-08:00

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

Yes.

Ahem.

ANYWAYS.

Brothers are awesome.

Actually, if I think about it, ALL my family is awesome.

However, Dan and Patrick have bumped the radar on my awesome list.

Why?

Well, my good sir, I'll tell you why.

They bought me the sexiest, brilliantest, Most AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING, marvelous CAMERA that I've ever had.

I've owned one before. It was moms old one. The crappiest piece of junk. (Sorry mother....)

I was gonna put a picture up, but Moms dumb camera won't work. *Sighs*

So no picture of my new camera for YOU. Bwahaha!!

So, this post belongs to Dan and Patrick. Thanks, guys!!!

You're so freakin' AWESOME!! And not just because you bought me stuff. Because you are. Just sayin'.

This is the only good picture I have of them together. Sad, really. Patrick, look AT the CAMERA, not at your glorious muscles. Jeez.

Love you anyway!

Love, The Paina.

PS. WHY did I get that song in your head? Cause I'm feeling happy and evil, and it fit the bill. Just sayin'.

On Kara.

2011-01-03T08:34:00.001-08:00

Today I woke up and decided it was high time to get covered in dung.

Mucking out a stall should do the trick.

After turning off my radio which Tiana had on blast to wake me up, I got dressed in junk clothes and heading to the barn.

Kara greeted me with her familiar nicker, and I gave her hay and told her I'd be back after coffee.

So, after coffee I came back out. She was basically done her hay and gave me a stare of "What the hey took you so long?"

I got out my pitchfork and started at the back of the barn, out of Karas way.

However, seeing as I came back, she figured she'd better tell me all about her day so far.

How she was so happy I had given her her breakfast, How snow was fun to roll in especially when there's mud underneath, And how that DASTARDLY HEN had DARED to drink out of her water bucket and she had given it a piece of her mind.

Unfortunately, while she was telling me this, she had to stand in front of me, beside me, or anywhere that pitchfork was going. She needed to make sure she had my attention, I guess.

I gave her a bit more hay, and she was interested in that. But between mouthfuls she rumbled at me, and once in a while had to get in the way again to look out the doorway.

The funny thing about Kara is usually she has two jobs: Eating and pooping. And she believes she'll do both very well for me. She gets her jobs DONE.

Plus, since our yard is a lake right now, I couldn't use the tractor. So I had to avoid Kara, make a pile, move that pile, and move it once more before I could put it in that manure yard.

Which is a tough job, especially when an over eager horse decides she has to be right next to me.

And OH!! Those nasty hens had the NERVE to walk in her hay. The were quickly moved with a nip and they let out squawks. Kara and I agree on chickens. Dumb creatures.

Finally I got through all of it, and gave Kara a good scratch.

She responded by putting road apples on her fresh straw.

Blast her.

Gotta Love horses.

Love, the Paina.

I'm a weirdy.

2010-12-05T08:41:00.000-08:00

It MUST be true. I'm beginning to see the truth.

Because, a dead deer can make my day.

It wasn't ANY old deer, it was the position it was in.

Like a cartoon character.

Its legs stuck RIGHT OUT and its tongue was hanging out.

And I laughed uproariously while dad stared at me like I grew an extra head.

I felt kind of bad afterwards, cause I love deer.

And the day before I had seen three of them standing in the field with a slight mist. Perfect picture.

I also saw a Coyote carrying something dead near Trussler road.

I'm talking to YOU, Nicole. Keep your eyes open.

Not only do I laugh at dead things in funny positions, I laugh at other peoples pain.

Like somebody being an idiot and falling off a bike. Or showing off and falling on their butt on a skateboard.

Or Tiana heaving to much on a bin and being crushed by it. Her matter of fact "Help." When I found her was too much. I nearly peed myself laughing. I helped her up right away, but I think the person in there with us was having trouble keeping a straight face.

Me and Tiana are stared at a lot. Its not everyday you see two girls moving big bins and laughing hysterically.

And the snickers ad where Betty White gets tackled. Kills me. Everytime.

I wonder at myself when ever I see a flat pigeon on the highway and point and laugh, because someday P.E.T.A. and the Po Po are gonna chase me down, hogtie me, and drag me to an asylum. But until then, I'm going to point at every dead thing, every stupid person, And every crushed relative I have to rescue.

I am a weirdo.

Love, Elena the Paina.

BOO!!

2010-11-01T18:09:00.000-07:00

Halloween!! Time for tricks and treats!! And of course, FREAKY PEOPLE!!

Its tradition now, I believe; we go to Sarah's house for the Scary Party!

First up: Me. Mad Scientist.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!"

Next. I thought it was Tiana...but it looks like a grumpy old man...Hmm.

Heidi, this Ninja princess!!

Chicken Boy, Now with frog flavour!

*Sniffs* Thought I smelled something. HANNAH!!

"What are you looking at? It wasn't meeeeh."

I don't know what Jeff is. First thing that popped into my head was "naaaaachooo Lebraaay!!"
He's very red.

Ceiling fan!! Adeena, you must have a boring life...
Yeesh.

Tiana is very mad about all of this.

Linda's pretty upset too.

But she'll feel better if you give her a cookie.

Good Linda!!

Ranchers. Emma, Rebekah, And their horses. Ava and Woodster.

Yoooodalayheehooooooo!!

Fuzzy!! Its a leaf blower. Why is there a leaf blower in my pictures? Honestly....
Nobodies allowed to touch anything.

Agh! A Samurai!
He will kill you. Till you're DEAD. Right Ethan?

The knight is nicer. Aren't you, Michael?
Yes.

Heather, the Treasure chest!!

Hello, my loyal peeps.

2010-10-26T10:17:00.000-07:00

Yeeeep, its been ages. But, I've been doing things, mostly useless.

Such as a photoshop war with my pal. (It was a draw, by the way.)

And, of course, facebook.

Ugh.

That website is one of the most annoying things ever. >.< Its so boring, yet I can't help being on it. *Sighs*

Anyways, now to more important things.

Like fear.

Fear is VERY real.

Some people boast they don't fear anything.

I for one, don't fear many things. But some things I can't help but fear.

For a whole year now, I've been terrified of driving at night. For one, because of the accident.

Two, because, driving at night, Jay went into the middle of the road, twice.

Three, also at night, Dad was turning the truck through an intersection, and it stalled. We missed the post by like, and a foot, almost went down the steep ditch.

Four, sometimes (And not the fault of the driver really.) We go off the road to the shoulder, and it freaks me out.

I know I should get over it, but I just can't. Not alone.

the only way I can get past fear, is with God.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

I know when I am afraid, that I can go to Him. So when we're driving at night, and a chill crawls up my back, I know that He is there for me. Protecting me. Delivering me FROM my fears.

Seriously, with God on my side, I need not fear ANYTHING but Him.

I love my Father.

In Christ,

The Paina.

Sixteen tomorrow!

2010-09-14T12:59:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm turning the scary age, Sixteen!! Since I probably won't write a blog tomorrow, I'll leave you with a picture of me, and wish everybody but me a very merry UNbirthday!!

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you LATER!

Love, The Paina

Marinelaaaand party time!

2010-09-12T07:20:00.001-07:00

Hiyah, everybody!! As some of you might know, we went to Marineland with the Matthews, and yes, of course, it was awesome. And there are lots of pictures. ;)

In The Beast on our way to Niagara. We were dancing, hence the reason our hand are fuzzy.
Becca, Zach and Critter kept hiding from the camera. Pshaw, their loss.

The randon ship by...Lake Ontario I think.

Another lake shot. I was so proud whenever I got it.

On the bridge.
The siiiiiign!! And, I believe we took a wrong turn at first, but then we found our way!

At the gate! YES!!

Scariest ride at Marineland. *Shudders*

The Viking ride! (I was kicking myself at the end of the day, because i didn't take pictures of all the rides! Grr.)
It was empty, so we sat across the boat from one another.

Orca screamer! The first ride I ever rode there.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

We were all very terrified.

So very terrified.

Look how distraught we are.

We hated it so much, Nicole pushed it over.

THIS was horrible! It went a speed off 1 mile per hour!!

We begged to be let out, it was so fast.

The woman just laughed cruelly, and sped it up to TWO MPH!!

Bears. Because they're cool.

A bird. Because it was there.

"I've got one leg! JUST ONE DANG LEG!!"

Killer whale. He says "CHEESE!!"

He was awesome.

And he got me wet.

I think I'm in love.

He could swim upside down!

I know he loves me back.

The Beluga was jealous. He loved me too.

The FASTEST ride!! A whopping 1 mph is a lot of speed, you know.

The boring fish ride. It was dumb.

The AWESOME flying dragon. I have no idea how many times we rode this thing.

The funny thing was, there were to adults who couldn't open their eyes, and after like 6 times of being on it I was with ease about not holding onto the handle, which they wouldn't let go of if i had offered them a trillion dollars.

SKY SCREAMER!!!!!!!!! *Shrieks* the most awful ride, no jokes there. I was SILENT. And lots off people know that when I am truly scared, I make no sound. So, as we went up and down, down up, up down, PAAAAAUSE AT THE TOP, down up up down....Everyone but me screamed. (Everyone being me, Tiana and Nicole.) Guess how many times we rode that? 1...2...3..4 times. The three times it was just us three, and at the last Linda came on. Booyeah.

The next best ride (Even though Sky Screamer caused me to lose three lives, it was the best.)
Was.....THE DRAGON ROLLER COASTER!!!!!

I honestly don't know how many times we rode this one.

"I vill eet your cheeldren!! Bwa ha ha haaar!"

The tea cup ride. Which was fun.

Cept we'd all slide down the seat and crush eachother....

Big huge fish.

PIRANHAAAAA!!

"Hello, my love! Don't go with that horrible Killer whale! Be with MEEEEE."

"I will hug you, kiss you, and call you George!"

"Here is your wedding ring. Its big, like my love for you!"

"Ha. That dumb Beluga has no idea. I'm Awesome."
Yeeeah....I choose the Orca.

The Walrus! His/her name was Sushi. Weird.

Dancin' dolpins!

I forget what he was doing....

Blowing bubbles.

Being there.

Mr. Flab baldy bald fat fat.

At first, I thought she was holding a toilet brush.

"Iiiiiii JUMP!!"

"I do too!"

"I Flip backwards!"

"I do to!"

"I kill you!"

"I run away!"
Swimming.

Yes, the are swimming upside down. No, its not photo shopped.

Aaaaaaa swim a swim!

The seals.

Dive dive dive!

I had it on a bad setting for these.

"Flaming shield toss."

"His names Olaf. Olaf. Olaf. He's Olaf. Olaf."
ME!! With a real smile, that only Nicole can seem to make me do when a cameras pointed at me.

The rest of the peoples (Except Linda and Vicky, who had dropped us off by the side of the rode to see the falls since it was a no stop zone.)

Somebody stole the 'R'. The NERVE!

The falls. At night.

I'm pretty sure thats USA right there. Maybe not.

My souvenirs! The walrus I got, and Nicole got me, Tiana and her a little Killer whale.

So, that concludes my Marineland post. :D

Rock on, peeps!!

Love, The Paina

Camping tiiiiime!

2010-09-07T13:58:00.001-07:00

Another Camping adventure! YAAAAAAY!

Michael, AKA Brown Boy, with his stick and 'Hang loose' Attitude.

Our awesome campfire. I love campfires. REALLY love them.

Its yours truly! I tried to do a nice smile. Didn't turn out quite right did it?

Chester was there! And he was excited I was with him, so he wouldn't relax enough for me to take a good picture. This is the best of the bunch.

Hunny came along with me. :) Normally when a camera is pointed in her direction she stares at the ground, freaked out that there has to be a light somewhere.

Nerdy Eyeball. (Eyeball is his new nickname. He managed to stab his eye with a stick, and it was super nasty.)

Linda and Hannah on the hammock! Hannah loved the hammock.

A liitle bumblebee I snatched a picture of.

A lovely blue heron I got a picture of. He was so pretty.

A dragonfly! I was really getting good luck with wildlife.

The river we camp by.

Murdock was there! He was very good about being tied all the time.

Sitting at the campfire! Everybody ignores me when I yell "SMILE" and point a camera in their direction.

Creepy Tiana.

Justin doing his "Dance" As he calls it.

It was raining most of the time, so one afternoon we all huddled under Adeena's awning and watched 'Impostors'

The problem with this flower picture is the fuzzy one in front.

A pretty flower with little raindrops.

WARNING: The next picture is super nasty, and if you can't handle blood or anything with eyes, don't scroll down and see the next pic. Thank you!

BEWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! Yep, thats what Eyeball did to his eye. Youchie eh? Its getting better now.

Love, The Paina

Whats been going on lately. #3

2010-08-27T13:46:00.001-07:00

Alrighty! Heres Jeff, Dad and Linda.

Jeff was explaining to Linda how a ladder works.

No, I'm kidding.

Don't kill me Linda. Or Jeff.

Me with my trusty hammer!

We're so dangerous.

The gorgeous sunset That greeted me after supper.
And later, it changed colour!
Since I don't have any pictures of the family reunion, I'll give you my sister's blog, and Sarah, to let you know this is the ONLY picture I allowed myself to make a face in! The rest of all the pictures they took I smile like a happy fairy. So I'd rather not be smacked, but....If you must.

Love, the Paina.

PS. Holy Crow I have a big family.

Whats been going on lately. #2

2010-08-27T13:29:00.001-07:00

We built a front porch thing as an add on to the deck!

But first, we had to fix the fail.

Notice how this narrows? Its supposed to be straight.

This post was supposed to be right against that cement ledge.

So, Jeffy came over, we fixed the fail, and put a roof up.

Yay Jeffy! You rock.

I built these stairs nearly all by my lonesome. Heather drilled in one screw, and Tiana held one board. Dad told me the way he wanted it. I did pretty well I think! :)

Next post coming up!

Whats been going on lately. #1

2010-08-27T13:12:00.001-07:00

Alrighty! Number 1 of whats happening here, or has happened in the past week. (And there was much rejoicing. "Yaaaay.")

We had our whole Billson side over for a family reunion, so we got a Port-a-potty.

I made Critter pose while I took the picture.

Free mint!!

If you've seen 'Madagascar' You're laughing right now.

The toilet. Because I can.
The sign above the toilet. 'Cause it made me laugh, and I can.

And, a flower picture I took for the heck of it. 'CAUSE I CAN!! MWAHAHA!

Mamma Mia....

2010-08-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

Here we go AGAIN.

Why yes, I do like getting songs stuck in your head.

Anyways, today was another ROTTEN day.

Like I needed another one. *Sighs*

Yesterday we started work at 5:00 am, and got home at 11:30 late that night. So I was really tired. Dad said we'd be on the road today at 7:00 am instead of five. So we did, and headed out. The day went pretty smoothly for the first store, then at the second store we ran into a problem.

Or, rather a problem ran into us.

We stopped at a stop sign.

Dad looked to the right, and watching the left to make sure nobody was coming, we turned to the right.

Meanwhile, I was looking at the soccer field in front of us. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a green shirt. I turned to look at it as Dads pulling out into the highway.

I watch the guy biking on the sidewalk at a farely fast speed, he panics when he sees us going forward and swerves onto the edge of the road, and runs into the front bumper.

Holy Fudgecakes.

Dad yells "Are you okay?" And jumps out of the truck.

I sit there with my heart in my throat.

Dad gently puts his hand on the guys shoulder, and tries to help him up.

"Don't effin touch me, ehwhole!!" He screech's at Dad. (Like my censoring?)

"Are you alright?" Dad asks again.

"I don't know, you hit me with your truck!"

The guy stands up, holding his arm, standing on the road.

"Come off the road." Dad says kindly.

"You shut up! Don't effin touch me!"

I was starting to lose my shock, and gain irritation at how he was treating my Dad.

The guy says "You didn't look! Sidewalk rights!"

"I didn't see you, but I did look." Dad states.

"You have a effin PASSENGER!! Why didn't she warn you?"

He moves his arm around. And reachs in his pocket for his cellphone.

He calls 911.

"I was just hit by a truck, the driver didn't look, and hit me on my bike. My arm might be sprained, I've broken an arm before and I don't think if its broken." And so on.

Dad loses his nice attitude now, and goes to phone the cops himself, with the guy following behind him (After hanging up) Saying "If you call them, I'll say you punched me. I'll say your on ALCOHOL!!"

Dad ignores him and phones the police, and tells them a biker hit him.

Guy proceeds to call the cops as well, and say how Dad was calling telling lies, and how he had put his hand on him three times.

By now, my irritation had grown, and also my instinct to defend kin.

I whispered real quiet to myself "Yeah, he punched him in the face."

Somehow, he heard me, and told the police he was being verbally abused by "The mans" daughter.

What?

WHAT?!?!?

Jeez, now I knew he was an idiot.

He walked briskly over to stand by a sign.

By this time, Tiana and Jay had finished pressure washing and pulled up. Tiana came over to me to ask what happened.

I told he a biker hit us, and explained briefly the story.

We then proceeded to talk about other things, and our voices were raised a bit so we could hear each other over the traffic.

We talked about cars, cops and how many punch buggies Tiana had gotten.

Then, the cops arrive, and ask Dad to wait by his truck, and talk to Guy.

He limps slowly over, after JUST having walked quickly before the cops came.

He told them his story, and I overheard him say "His two daughters were hurling and screaming insults at me."

Okay.

Whoa.

NOW I was mad.

Jay and Tiana left to get a head start on the bins.

So I picked up a magazine to try and ease my writhing temper; which was telling me to get out of the truck and bellow at Guy.

The cops went and talked to Dad, then they came to me.

I hadn't really cooled off.

He said "Hey." Softly to me. I looked up from the magazine and he asked me to tell him what happened.

So, rather quickly with suppressed wrath, I told him my story.

He went back and talked to Guy, then to Dad, and Dad hopped into the truck.

"He's not pressing charges, but he might. If he does, he will also get a charge for driving on the sidewalk." He says.

I nod, as we get on our way.

I wonder if Guy will have the gall to press charges.

If he does, I wonder if I'll have to go to court and say my statement.

Then I'll pour out my fury.

Here's to you, whining Guy.

Love, the Paina

Bunch of Dorks.

2010-08-09T13:12:00.000-07:00

We had Nicole and Zach over for Critters Birthday on the weekend.

Lots of fun was had!

We took photos. Here are a little of them.

A group picture!

Tango was very shocked at our antics.

Yes... We are strange. VERY strange.

Heres Tiana and Nicole.

Me and my Best Dorksville Teen!

In other news, on Sunday I nearly fainted three times, and I'm sick today. Bleck.

I hate being Bleck.

Bye for now!!

Love, the Paina.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits....

2010-08-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

RANDOM PICTURE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!

YEAH!! WOOT!! (Like Sarah, I get excited over anything.)

Heres my Baby sister. She was explaining something.

Heres my big brother. (I mean big.) He's being normal.

Baby Murdock on my knees! (I'm going crazy with B and W since I figured out how to do it)

And The Mothers flowers!

I hope you enjoyed this rather short blog. But I told my best friend I would put one on today, so there you go. :)

Off to visit the peeps!

REJOINING THE HERD!!

Bye now!

Love, the Paina.

My rooooooooooom!!!

2010-07-23T15:52:00.000-07:00

My new bed! Very messy, of course. ;) I'm top bunk. The one with all the teddies.

Can you tell I love Horses?? I own most of these, except the hat on the left and 6 of the horses. We share 9 of them.

Mah pictures. :)

Tiana's dresser and our wardrobe.

My dresses and our shelf.

This room is gonna be mudded and painted at some point. But boy, it is GLORIOUS to be in a room bigger then a closet, and to be able to dance in it. :D

Onward, Marchers!

Love, the Paina

You capture: Black and white

2010-07-23T15:20:00.000-07:00

You capture is black and white!

I was freaking out, cause I had no idea how to set the camera on black and white.

But I (And my glorious brain) Figured it out. So, here we go! All pictures are SOOC. :)

One of my favorite trilogies EVER!

Chickens. One of these is mine. His name's Ringo.

The PIANO!! Those marks you see are years of love and children.

A strawberry. Cause I can. ;)

Linda with her kitten Murdock.

Mothers letter opener. Its gold. And faded.

Murdock himself.

And those are them. Black and white!

Go see some more pictures!

And another one gone...

2010-07-18T15:12:00.001-07:00

Another one bites the dust!!

Sorry. Nobodies dying. It fits that fact that yet another of my brothers has gone.

Mr. Blinky! Or, rather, Daniel. (Mr. Blinky is my nickname for him. don't ask me why.)

He went to some crappy job at first, with some crazy German guy.

Didn't sit well with Mr. Blinky.

He left that place, with the promise of a job with Matt and Patrick.

He packed all of his stuff, so his desk and room are very sad.

Very very sad.

And therefore, with moms help, I will soon be movin' into the boys room turned GIRLS ROOM!!

For people who don't know, my current room is tiny.

Its the size of my cousins closet.

Its so small.

And the boys room is HUGE. The second biggest room in the house.

I will finally have a place for all my crap 'n' junk!

I'm very excited.

Tiana isn't so much, cause she says the boys room is the boys room.

Pshaw! I scoff and toss my head at you, Tia!

It will be claimed girly, no matter what!

I feel like waving a flag....

Ahem.

Anyways, Goodbye, dear brother of mine who crashed the van and blamed me for it, I love you!

You caged beast.

Oh yes.

Victory is sweet, and so are brothers.

Love, The Paina

Huuuurgh.

2010-07-14T10:11:00.000-07:00

I wonder, is "Hurgh" A word? It's totally the definition of my day yesterday.

Our truck broke down, so we had to get a rent truck.

Which broke.

For some reason.

So we took it to the Ryder place, they fixed it, and we started.

The original truck you dump the bins, put them back and your done.

The rent truck, you take them on, strap them, and leave.

We do this to all the stores till the truck is filled up, then we go to the dump site.

We have to dump the bins ourselves, instead of the machine on our truck which does half.

Dumping thirty eight 400 pound bins is not a lot of fun.

Especially since Jay was felling sick so I dumped twenty three of them myself.

But we finally get done and head out again to do the rest of the stores. A little way down the road, me and Jay smell something like burning tires. So we pull over.

Jay turns to me, "I think we're doomed."

We jump out, and seeing the lake of oil pouring out of the truck.

Jay: "Yep. We're doomed."

I lay in the ditch on the grass, while Jay phones Dad, Ryder, and a repair guy. We get back in the truck and wait an hour and fifteen minutes for the repair guy. He comes, spends like 45 minutes checking it out, phones his company, and tells us he has to leave again. So he goes.

Its an hour for him to go there, and another to come back.

So I go for a walk, down the road. And come back to the truck.

The realize I need to go to the bathroom.

So I go to this Trucking place across the road and ask for a bathroom. A lady leads me into the "Employees" only door and takes me to a closet. "Back there." And she leaves.

I'm looking at all the shelves, mops and brooms and thinking "Okay....I'm in a closet."

I lock the door, turn and walk where she pointed, and behind a box sort of thing is a little toilet.

In a closet.

Yep.

So, I go, and then leave the closet.

I get back in the truck and laugh and tell Jay about the closet.

Then I try to sleep, but the highway we're stuck by won't let me.

I jump back out and go for a walk down the highway.

I go for almost a mile, one couple stopped and asked if I needed a ride anywhere, and I said "No, thanks."

And then I went back and passed a house where Mennonite kids are playing, and they stop and stare at me.

They never quit, so I hurry by.

And get back into the truck.

An old man who lives in the house right by were we're stuck comes out and offers us pop. Freezing cold pop.

I wanted to hug him.

It was sooo hot in the truck, and our water bottles were lukewarm.

So I sat and sipped my Canada dry, and played M.A.S.H. hang man with Jay.

Finally the repair man came back, and took another 45 minutes to put it back together and fix it.

We were good!

We had stopped there at 2:14, and left at 7:20.

We tried to finish the run, and both of us were starving and tired.

We did all we could, till Jay gave up at 9:32.

So we headed home.

I kept going to sleep, and jerking awake and scolding myself for not keeping Jay awake. So I talked to him as best I could. And the radio was blaring.

Still, TWICE Jay fell asleep at the wheel and we drifted into the middle of that road, and I snapped "JAY!" And he came awake and yelled at me to stop yelling at him. I told him to quit scaring me. At Mitchel, he had to pull into the gas station and walk around.

I then gabbed on about anything and everything, trying to keep him awake and alert.

At last, at 12:00 we pulled into our driveway.

Thank God.

I ate some rice, cause Cat ate my chicken, went upstairs and fell asleep.

What a day.

Love, The Paina

Busy week!!

2010-07-03T16:55:00.001-07:00

Well. I had one great week this week! First off, had a sleepover at my wicked awesome friend Nicole's house.

There she is! (I claim rights over this picture. I took it. :D)
I had a blast. In fact, blast doesn't cover it. Explosion is more like it. XD

It was so much fun! One of the highlights was standing on the round-about with a cardboard sign we made that said 'Honk if you love CANADA!' And 27 cars honked. Also Saluting and bowing to truck drivers. Most of them saluted back laughing at us. And sitting in the trailer watching really old videos. Oh what the hey, the whole THING was a highlight.

Yeeeah.... We're weird.

Next, we came home, went to bed, woke up and went CAMPING!!

I looooove camping. I got to hang out with my Fabulous Family, I got as dirty as I wanted and nobody cared, I got to sit close to a fire, (I'm a pyromaniac, people.) Toss kids around, (Those cousins are solid!) and play hard soccer!!

Yep. I am livin' the good life.

We went for an awesome bike ride. Up hills. My thighs hurt.

We went to fireworks on the 30th too. One of my favorite ones was the curly fries. They were cool. They made whistling noises. :D

At fireworks I took Rebekah to go to the bathroom JUST before they started, so I picked her up and was quickly walking but some teens were in our way. So i waited till the one in front of me moved before I started running and the douche stepped in front of me on purpose and said "Whoops."

I pretty near knocked him over with my shoulder.

Heck yeah.

I go like a train, Baby.

And yes, me and Becky made it back in time to watch the fireworks. ;)

David took me and Tiana to London to help Haley with her paper route. It was fun! Thank you David. :)

The one bad thing was that I'm a dummy and carried three bags of papers at once. My shoulders are mad. Doy.

The second time we went to the beach I took of my glasses and put them in my backpack. But then, for some reason I can't explain, I put them back on.

Then I ran down the beach and dove into the water.

Darn.

I lost them.

Plus I slammed my hip on a rock.

Owie.

So Sarah and Linda (Love you guys!) Came down and helped me to look for them.

Soon everybody was down in the water looking. (Love you guys too)

I was super embarrassed and ashamed.

But Tianas lucky toe saved the day!

Tianas lucky toe doesn't bend. Its the strangest thing.

She grabbed it out of the water, I took them and handed them to The mother, and floated shivering with Tiana and Ethan on Matts floating arm chair.

I felt way better after eating soy ice cream. Thank you Patrick!! :D

Then Rachel arrived and asked me to take May for a run down the beach. I was thrilled of course, because I love May. So we zoomed down the beach and I stepped on a stick and smashed it.

Meh. Oh well. Just a stick.

I kept on trucking.

Till I bring May back and realize my foot stings. I brush off the bottom and jump into the Van and we go back.

Well...I found out I had ten little slivers and one big deep one. I pulled out most of the little ones, But the big one is still in there. Darn.

Quin begged Jeff to play a game of soccer: Kids vs Adults. Jeff agreed. I stepped onto the Adult goal, but Patrick kicked me off. (He ripped chunks out of his leg on his bike, I had sticks in my foot. We were the wounded goalies!) So I limped over to the Kids goal.

Good Gravy what a game.

Kids:____Adults:
Nate ____Jeff
Quin____ Tyler
Justin____ Linda
Trenton____Tiana
Critter____Daniel
Mike____ Patrick
Heather____Sarah (For nine seconds)
Elena____

Heather and Mike where on our team.

Mike, You're a great defense.

Heather, You're a great midfield.

And all the rest of you rotters on my team, GREAT JOB!

The game tied 3-3.

I was covered in grass and dew and dirt by the end, and my head was smarting from Daniel landing on it when I tackled him to the ground.

So, I leave this week with wounds and spectacular memories.

Roll onward!!

Love, the Paina

You capture: Get down low.

2010-06-24T15:05:00.000-07:00

Getting down low isn't entirely difficult for me, since I don't mind getting dirty or laying on the ground. :)

Pretty Tiger Lilies!

Our beautiful horse Kara.

"What the hey are you doing down here?!?"

"Meh. Your weirdness is not worth my time." Gee, thanks Kara.

A rose from the rose bush. :D

And one more tiger lily!

Go have some fun and see more pictures at Beths!

My chess board.

2010-06-24T07:19:00.000-07:00

Quinlan told me yesterday, that when they play alone its boring, but with me there it feels so real.

Got me thinking.

The truth is, I use them as my pawns, to create stories. And as I tell them whats going on, and explain briefly what whatever we're battling/defending/running-away-from looks like.

I make a view point for everyone.

Like how Critter is gonna be attacked by a massive spider that's about to eat him.

Or how Trenton was about to be sliced by a orc.

And I put it into the game, and yes, it feels so real.

I get into it, And whatever I am at the time, I actually become.

Like if I'm the leader, I yell and shout encouragements and directions.

Or I become a Ganator (A creature I made up.) And I toss kids around, and bellow, swinging a piece of wood as a club.

It seems very real to me.

I'm still a 10 year old at heart I guess.

And I do love playing with those grand kids. :D

Play on rockers!

Love, The Paina

Once upon a time...

2010-06-21T06:26:00.000-07:00

There was a Lady named Elena, And a knight named Sir Jay. They worked together in the far away land of London. One day, Lady Elena was working, and noticed something in a cardboard box. A brown smelly lump.

"Sir Jay, I do believe this is a turd." She said.

"Not likely, my Lady. I think it must be a potato." He responded, coming over to look.

"I don't imagine it is, it seems unlike one." And she backed away.

Sir Jay, however, grabbed a broom and stabbed the object with it. It got stuck on the handle.

"SIR JAY!!" Lady Elena screamed; "IT IS A TURD!!!!!!!!"

Sir Jay tried his best to wipe it off, and we left.

I wonder whether anyone heard me shouting. It would be quite a coffee break story. ;)

Love, The Paina

You capture: Fun

2010-06-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

This weeks 'Youcapture' is fun. And I grabbed the camera and headed outside. Its kinda cloudy today, though.

Anyways, I found our little Jack Russell/Cairn terrier, chasing branches.

She's a tiny runt, and so she tries her hardest, but doesn't get any near those trees. But she has a whole lot of fun doing it.

She is my love, this little girl. And I enjoy taking pictures of her.

"Get it Hunny! GET IT!"

Finally, she finds out there's a ball. The mighty hunter has found her prey!

Love, The Paina

Pointless spats.

This is my baby sister Tiana.

I love her.

But sometimes I am a bad older sister.

Some days I just feel like I have to lash out at someone. Like I want to get in a fight.

And if somebody says something that irks me on one of these days, I get my back up and have a temper over nothing.

I'll say stuff I don't mean, but I want to hurt. I want someone else to hurt to.

Today I did this. Tiana said something, and I felt like she was attacking me. The truth is she wasn't. She was telling Linda a story.

I am a sinner.

But with prayer, I have the strength to apologize, and forgive. Isn't God beautiful and magnificent? Even with our horrible sins and mistakes, He loves us. He gives us the ability to love. He is always there, He never leaves. Sometimes He allows you to make mistakes, so that you can learn from them.

I love My Lord, and I love my sister.

Rock on!

Love the Paina.

Phooey and Birthdays.

2010-06-04T13:34:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to figure out how to make my own template. I've been playing around with all the text and things, but I can't for the life of me change it. Help?

Anyway.

Michael-man turned 6 on June second. GACK!! He's so big! What happened to him being so proud about being four? Before I know it he'll be driving.

And Ava is turning 3 tomorrow. Shocker! She's very excited about it. After all, when your three the World is your playground, and you make your mothers crazy by running, jumping, and going near the pool and pond.

Happy birthday too you two cuties!

Love The Paina

Its up!

2010-05-24T07:06:00.001-07:00

Here's our pool finally up!

Took them long enough to send it. Its still only half full, and with it so hot out today I am really anxious for it to be filled!

Tiana, Christopher and I went wading in it yesterday. It was awesome. I even did Dorksville dances in it! :D (For those who don't know what that is, its mostly the macarena, chicken dance, and disco.) So yeah. Dancing in a half full pool, dreaming that it will soon be ready!

Yep. I am a Dork. ;)

Love, The Paina

2010-05-17T07:06:00.001-07:00

First off, THIS crazy guy turned 10 yesterday. GACK!! I remember him tagging along behind me on the floor when he was a baby! Ew.

Happy Belated Birthday Quinlan!!

I actually really like this one. That barn is olllld. Really old and cold and full of mould. ;)

To clear things up, I took this before I knew GPM had. :P

I love these flowers. They come every year and they're so pretty!

More blossoms. (BTW Sarah, you can have my blossom picture. :D)

Thanks for reading!
The Paina.

Sunsets!!

2010-05-06T08:10:00.000-07:00

Apple Blossoms. :D

Be jealous of my sun flare.

Lots of sun flare.

Thats all for now. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this, and its really annoying. ;)

S'death to caterpillars!!

2010-05-01T11:43:00.000-07:00

Me, Stewart and Ava where wandering outside today, looking at all things that are spring. Flowers, bright green grass, apple blossoms.....WAIT A MINUTE!!

Gross, ugly caterpillar nests!

I broke of the end of the branch and smashed it with a rock. "EWWWWW!!" Ava and Stewart said in unison. "Look here." I said and squished one with my thumb. This got another chorus of ews, but Stewart had to try it to.

He got a little twig and wrecked havoc on them. I grabbed another one and gave it to Stewart. Ava screeched. "Don't worry Ava." Stewart said soothingly. "They won't hurt you. CAUSE I'M GONNA CRUSH THEEEEEM!!!!" And he jumped on them laughing maliciously.

I've created a monster. >:}

Where can you do this in high school?

2010-04-23T07:01:00.000-07:00

I did it! I have built a deck. Me and Tiana, with Daddyrit coaching, have created a walkway from one door to the rest of the (larger)deck.

A few days ago I had no idea how to use a hammer, let alone a drill. So when Linda asked me to 'Toenail' The boards, I seriously didn't know what she was talking about. [Insert "a...Duh?" face here]

So she showed me how, and I was pretty good at it. The most times I missed a nail (yes, I counted.) Was four times. The least amount of hits it took me to drive a three inch nail was six. Course, Linda could do it in four no problem. :D

Next came measuring where the boards went for the walkway. That was pretty easy, we just layed them down. Then dad hands me the drill, and a bunch of screws.

*Blinks*

Okay then....

He showed me how, by "Keeping pressure on the drill at all times." To drive those screws right down "Below the surface." At first I was terrible at it. The screws flew all over the place. But it got easier. Tiana and I took turns driving them in. After a while i went into the garage and found another drill, So tiana started at one side and I the other, and we worked our way to the middle.

After that, We did the railing. Again, Daddyrit showed us how, and went and sat down to observe.

Me and Tiana were a team. She held those two by fours and I drove screws into them.

We failed.

I had to reverse some of them and try again, but eventually we got it straight. Ish.

Then Dad decided to go get the pick-up from the repair shop. So he and Linda ran off in the van, giving us instructions to finish the railing.

*Gulps*

So, we did. And actually it was fairly easy and better then the first time. We got it done, and went in for a quick tea. When dad came home we did the spindles. Tiana held them in place (not an easy task) And I (again) Drove them in. Hazzah! The walkway was done.

Then we started to set up the pool. Rachel came around this time to pick me up to babysit, so she helped us to lay down the tarp and set up the durn thing.

And after much blood, sweat and tears (Not really.) We finished it, Dad put in the hose, And i went off to watch the Bells.

Next morning we found out the pool was leaking. *Sigh* Typical Billson luck.

And now its time to take the junk pool back, and try, try again.

And I love to drill. :D

Dead trees.

2010-04-17T17:03:00.000-07:00

First things first: I'm a terrible blogger. And I'm sorry to all you peeps that come here and find no new blogs.

Okay, so. We have a pool! Its not set up yet, but its outside waiting; Impatiantly I think. The problem is a big old tree has to come down before we can set it up. That big old tree has survived everything that has been blown at it. For years it stood there, defiant in all its rotteness. Then at last, in a huge storm half of it fell off. It also took out the playhouse on its way down. And yet the other half remained erect, mocking us, "Ha. I'm still here. Whatcha gonna do about it?"

But ha to YOU, mister grub filled tree, for a man in shiny armur is coming!

He shall bring a truck of mighty metal, and a chainsaw of awesome steel, and he will CUT YOU DOWN.

No longer will you block my view of the field, no longer will The Mother walk in fear to the barn, and no longer will you jeer at us in your stubborn grossness.

And so, we will have our pool, and you will be cut down to be burned.

Goodbye Old Tree.

I love 'em all.

Do you know what's awesome? Family. Do you know what's REALLY awesome? When my huge family gets together and we go tobogganing. Crazy fun!

All us peeps went to Mitchell and sledded down this steep hill. There was this ramp that brought tonnes of laughs and cheers. My awesome nephews and nieces have no fear!
They went off it like it was nothing. Michael killed me. He flew off that jump without a glance. Quinlan and Trenton were snowboarding, and BOY did they go!
I tried to snowboard. Didn't make it two feet.
Emma was crazy. She just zipped down the hill. And off the jump as well. Rebekah was hilarious. She loved her board, and man could she use it! She also got run over by a couple of girls but still kept going! THAT is bravery.
And of course Daniel, Jeff and tyler went down on a flimsy tobaggan but Tyler bailed. "ABANDON SHIP!!"
Heather was the Queen of the circle tray thingy. I don't know what its called, but I know I failed at steering it while Heather rocked the thing.
Linda and I Crazy carpeted, and was she ever fast! So was Sarah.
Tiana skied down the hill. She was the master. I tried, and failed.
Adeena was Official picture taker. She ruled that job. Shaw shaw SHAW! *Clicks camara*
Mike was awesome. He went down the hill fast. Rachel only went down a couple times, but when she did she made me laugh till my sides hurt. ;)

I liked the crazy carpet. It was pink. Me and it went off the ramp and crashed many times. We also passed Linda after she went down before. I have bruises and bumps from going off that ramp. I also have sweet memories to keep. I Love my family. I think I'll keep them.

Holiday! Woot!

2010-02-15T12:04:00.000-08:00

Happy Family day everybody!!

Sorry Peeps that I haven't written a blog in forever, but I have no computer. :\

Too true...

2010-01-26T12:58:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago on Friday everyone came over for co-op and Emma and Rebekah were playing barbies.

They were playing on the banister and Emma's were "Falling off a cliff." So the wife held on and the Husband held her feet. "Don't let go!" The wife said. "Its OK if I fall Honey!" The Husband yelled back "You'll get my insurance!!"

Yep.

This is a six year old.

Makes me wonder since she plays barbies with me and Tiana a lot we taught her something....

Just another day of work.

2010-01-20T09:54:00.000-08:00

We got a call on the 11th saying the truck (which was being repaired) was ready. So we hopped into the Van and drove two hours to the truck place where we had to wait ANOTHER hour and forty five minutes till they actually finished the thing. The only good part in my mind was the German Shepherd puppy that was there. S/he was so cute.
So once they ACTUALLY finished the truck we headed out for work.

Oh, barrels of joy.

And then at the last stop the hose decided it was its time to go. It burst. Dad told us to go home. We jumped into the Van and drove off; GOING HOME!!

Or so we THOUGHT. After a bit of driving Dad called and told us it was freezing rain so take it easy. We kept driving and Daniel (My brother and the driver) stated "We're driving on an ice rink!" I just said "Yup."

We came to a gas station and filled up. Then we left and came to an intersection and turned right. After a minute Dan said, "I don't think this is the right road.." And let go of the gas. "Oh, well it doesn't matter," he said and gently pressed the gas back on.

Oh dear.

We fishtailed into the middle of the road. (Dan may or may not have sworn.) Daniel corrected it but we fishtailed again. Then we turned toward the ditch. It felt like a bad dream.

Thank God for fast reflexes. I braced my legs and grabbed the armrest and door, and shut my eyes.

All I could hear was thumping and cracking till a window broke on my left side. "Oh no, Dan's dead" I thought, and opened my eyes. We were upside down and I was just in time to see a jar of applesauce miss my head and hit the windshield and a wrench hit the dash board inches from my leg. I shut my eyes tight again till we slid to a stop.I opened my eyes yet again to see we were on our side (MY SIDE!) in the ditch. This whole thing only took a few seconds.

"Are you okay Daniel?" I said.

"Yep." He said. He may or may not have sworn.

He was suspended above me. I unbuckled my seat belt and moved out of his way and grabbed the nearest thing to keep my sanity. It was the rearview mirror. I held on to that thing so tight I snapped it off. "Sorry sorry!" I said in a panic.

"It's FINE." Dan said and phoned my dad. "Bad news. We're on our side in the ditch," he said.

"Dan, can I kick through the windshield?" I asked terrified. It smelled like gas and I was afraid.

"No."

I looked at my hand. It was all red and sticky. Crap. I'm bleeding. I thought and wiped it off. it was just jam. PHEW!! Then a pickup stopped and a Man and his Son jumped out and ran down to where we were. I waved at them. They asked if we were ok and if there was anybody else in there. We answered no and they got us out by opening the driver's door. Dan climbed out and I clambered after him. They invited us to sit in their truck till Dad would get there. We did, and more people stopped and we told them we were fine. After a while my nerves were so spiked that I felt like I was gonna throw up. "Can I get out now?" I asked tensely. So Dan and I got out and Daniel told them we were ok and they could leave. We waited by the Van and more people stopped and we sent them away till Dad got there. He took a look and said the van was probably totaled. So we waited for the tow truck and when the tow truck got there we waited for Mom and the cops. Finally the cops came with mom arriving soon after and when I saw Mom and Tiana I overloaded with happiness. Tiana and I danced and screamed "I'M ALIVE!!" "YOU'RE ALIVE!!" till dad told us to shut up. The poor van got dragged out of the field and was gone. Dan, Mom, Tiana, and I hopped into the Caddy and drove home. I gave Linda a huge hug.

I didn't have a bruise or a scratch. Dan's leg was swollen and that's it. We were completely fine. The Van however was totaled and now is gone. I slept like a baby that night. And now, two days later, I am not sore at all.

Thank you Lord.

Uncommon as it may seem...

Sarcasm is among us. Yup, it is true. And I happen to like using it, and I also like to joke around.

Most people know this.

But once in a while there is a rare occasion that people can not tell. And in these circumstances.. how do we sarcastic people react?

With more sarcasm.

I am a pressure washer, which in the winter is a horrid job. Freezing cold, water spraying, vegetables flying, oh, it IS fun.

See that? That's sarcasm right there.

And when we get to the dock, usually there is a blast of hot air when you enter into the store. But in one store, that welcome warmth was not there.

Bother.

So, joking around with Daniel (One of the Brothers.) I laughed about suing because the heaters blew upward instead of downward.

Erm.

Completely innocent me, walking innocently in the dock, with my innocent brother, was overheard by a Not so innocent random guy. And Mr. NSIRG, had not sense of humour or maybe he did, he just didn't use it.
Have any of you heard the song 'I'm gonna sue' By weird Al Yankovic? I was singing that song. (Beautifully of course.) And Mr. NSIRG stated "I hope you don't sue. You'll lose."

He was dead serious.

So, I raised my eyebrow at him, and proceeded to go to work. I was laughing on the inside. But outside I acted as though he was not even there.

Oh how I LOVE that NSIRG.

Its happened...

2010-01-13T14:54:00.000-08:00

I've started a Blog. Oh yes, I have. Although I don't have much to say, I can say enough about something. Most people know I can talk a mile a minute when I want too, and dislike it.

Yep.

Dislike it.

Surprised?

Its no wonder they call me The Paina. ;)
