Sorry it's been so long. I've been really busy.
This week was one of my better weeks. It was really fun. One of my friends spent the night with me and we had lots of fun. We watched one of our favorite movies from when we were young. Peter Pan. We were in love with it. And one morning, we cooked noodles, poured paint in plastic bowls and threw them at pillow cases and sheets!! It was A LOT of fun.
On Saturday, my family went to a dinner in Deepwater. The chicken was fit for kings, the entertainment was not. When we were leaving the building, we heard music and it sounded Irish to us, so I started "dancing". Mom and Seth were laughing, Dad was talking. So we walked over to the outdoor stage and listened. The next song was really bad. Dad was still talking, so we still listened. It got worse. The next song started out "Well, she's a big fat woman and it's an itty bitty bottle of wine." I tried not to laugh, but they kept singing it. I couldn't help it. So after that song I texted Dad, " We are going to leave this song slaughter and go to the truck." On the way home (I don't know how it came up), Dad asked what language they spoke in the Netherlands. I said, "Dutch, but I was about to say Norse, for some reason, but that's crazy because that's some sort of code." Mom looked at me and said," That's Morse code. Not Norse." I still haven't heard the end of that one.
On Thursday, we went to the new Warrensburg pool. It was fun. Amy and I stayed in the Lazy river about the whole time. We were in the pool all of 10 minutes out of about 3 and a half hours. We went down the slide 2 times and we swam about 5 minutes and we sat and watched 'divers' and rated them. This one kid was meaning to dive but he accidentially ran off the end of the diving board. We almost fell in the pool because we were laughing so hard.
We had another tournament this weekend. We won our 8am game. We lost our 9am game. We won our noon game. Then we had our Home Run Derby. And other events. Then there were fireworks. I wasn't there. Then the next day, we played at 3pm and we won and went on to the championship. We won that by 1. Some of the parents were keeping score also and they thought we were tied and then the game ended and they were confused. We all got medals and each team chose 3 people that they thought played really well and Jess, Emma, and I got one. Emma pitched really well, and Jess made some really nice catches at first. I made a good catch at center and a good stop but I didn't think I would get one of those medals.
Then we all went to Applebee's. There was 9 of us at a table for 6 maximum. It was a little crowded. It was Chandra's birthday so we told the Applebee's people and we were SO LOUD!!! It was fun.
Our next tournament is in Basehor, Kansas. It's the MOKAN State Tournament. I won't be at the World Series because I will be in Washington D.C., which I have already ordered my books for.
I ordered:
Night of the Soulstealers- Joseph Delaney (Book 3, The Last Apprentice)
Attack of the Fiend- Joseph Delaney (Book 4, The Last Apprentice)
Lunatic- Ted Dekker (Book 5 , Lost Chronicles)
Elyon- Ted Dekker ( Book 6, Lost Chronicles)
City of Bones- Cassandra Clare (book 1, Mortal Instruments)
Hunger- Michael Grant (Book 2, GONE series)
That's all I bought, but not all I'm bringing.
Well, I think that's it.

Golf and the Fair
Today was a fundraiser for a Scholarship at Knob Noster High School and Lauren and I were walking around watching people golf and we got really confused. We passed one and then we got to a green and it was really far away. Lauren was thinking it was the green for hole 2. So we got to the next starting marker or whatever and it said that was the beginning of hole 2! It took us forever and then we caught up to dad on the hole next to 2 and it was 6! Kellen (who is 7 and golfing with old guys who have been playing forever and i just heard that he almost got a hole in one) was about 2 holes behind Dad and we weren't going to wait long because it took a long time for everyone to finish. So we were going back and we realized that we had skipped from 2 to 6. we saw five right there but, where was 3 and 4? There was another golf cart path that we didn't follow so we thought that one was 3 and four started at the end and at the end of that was 5. I figured that out but it was really confusing if you had never been there. There was also a path going through the woods and I looked down it and said,"You couldn't pay me enough to go down there! I don't want to end up like Little Red Riding Hood or Hansel and Gretel almost did!!!" It was funny.
So then we came back to the fair to watch the games. Kiersten and Sarah were in the water balloon toss and they were so close to winning! Ryan and Gavin got 2nd and 3 bucks each. Sarah was in the soda drinking contest and she got $25 and 1st place. (Scott says hi- vbhhug g ty mty ,f mnt m tm)
This is Kiersten again. I have been having so much fun at the Knob Noster fair. I have also written about this on my grandma' s blog. Taylor has been on this blog 24/7. Scooty has been saying Taylor is the best (pshht). Taylor's awesome and has a really REALLY annoying little cuz! Moi. I learn how to spell so much from MAXIMUM RIDE. Anyone who doesn't read it is wierd. So read it then YOU won't be WIERD (unless you're naturally wierd). Well that's it for me. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Sarah (the one that got $25).Today at the ballon toss when I tossed it to Kiersten she tried to catch the ballon and it splaterted all over her (that is going to be something to laugh about later on). On Thursday I was in a soda drinking contest I drank more than half of a 2 liter bottle. Later on tonight I am going to the fair agin and I am getting a wrist band so I can ride unlimited rides like my favorites the Ali Baba, Zero Gravity, and Cliff Hanger.Well I am signing off. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Taylor now. We had a lot of fun at the fair last night. We had really good egg rolls and Dippin' Dots. And before we left, we had some of the best corn dogs EVER!! The slide was really bad. On the last drop, all of us came off the slide about a foot and going about 80 mph! The last time I rode it, I hit the bottom so hard that I couldn't breathe. It hurt. The Cliff Hanger was a lot of fun. Everyone thought we were crazy because Uncle Nate told Kiersten and I to imitate Superman! That was cool. We got really dizzy on Zero Gravity. It's the one that spins and then tilts. I went on the Ferris Wheel 2 times. Once with Kiersten and Kellen and another time with just Kellen. It was just your average Ferris Wheel ride. The Ali Baba has always been my favorite ride (except when the Ring of Fire was there). It just goes in giant circles (but doesn't go up side down) and you feel like you don't have a stomach. Kiersten and I were small enough during the times we rode it that we were moving around in the seat and hitting our hips on the sides.
I don't have softball practice tonight. I have a tournament next weekend (Father's Day Weekend). I will be in Washington D.C. during the weekend of the World Series (it takes 2 days if not more to drive it and we have to be in D.C. on the Friday before the tournament).
That's all (sorry its long. I just did a lot this weekend)

Only Because
I don't really have anything to post about, but when dad got home, he said that Mimi wasn't happy with me cuz i hadn't posted in 2 days. I have to post more tomorrow after the Knob Noster Fair. (I get to help with the golf tournament and i have 2 be in Knob Noster at 8 and it's 45 minutes away and then that night I'm going to their fair)
Mom let me start wearing makeup yesterday. She bought it for me even though Seth and Tommy were there and being loud and obnoxious (as they usually are). The colors are awesome. There's 'Brown Topaz' mascara and liquid eye liner. And brown and navy and light blue eyeshadow and a darkish ivory foundation. I was almost ecstatitic (wait, is that how you spell it?)!!
Well, I think that's it. I will post more tomorrow. Maybe on Sunday.

Total Craziness!!
We were on our way home from Nana's house yestereday and about 2 miles away from home and it was raining REALLY hard. And then, 1 and a half miles away from home, it completly stopped!! Then we were on our road, and i looked like it hadn't rained AT ALL!! I was like, WHAT THE HECK!? It was CRAZY!!
Seth (my brother) and I were playing Buzz Word last night (where there's this word and you have to guess phrases that has that word in it). My word was cow and my hint was, Leather. I said cow hide and i got it right! So Seth said, "Do you know what the #1 use for cow hide is in the U.S.?" I was thinking, 'Leather, right?' Wrong! I ended up saying, "No. What is it?" And he said, "Covering cows." He had a COMPLETELY straight face as he said it, too! He only started laughing after i didn't get it and then started busting up!
I was so scared today! Seth had a baseball game (he won 1-12) and it had started raining and looked really stormy! Then I heard this lady on the phone and she was talking about a tornado touchdown just south of Warsaw! I was so freaked!! Then, we went to Wendy's and this little girl was talking to someone and asking if the sirens went off there and that they hadn't here yet and they were "staying in Clinton until this really bad storm goes by!" HAHA!! I was getting really scared because I have 'storm-a-phobia' so we came home and I learned that we were under a tornado watch until 1 am tonight and a severe thunderstorm warning until 8 tonight! But, it's over now and I'm better.
That's it!

The Day of the Bored. . .
This is a new holiday in my family!! I'm kidding. Kiersten (my cousin) and i are really bored and we need something to do so I told her about my blog and I told her that we were gonna post something (Kiersten says "Aunt Lana, PLEASE don't make us another 'I'm Bored' list")
Its raining outside and we ate at Nana's. We had:
really good pork chops
salad
mashed potatoes
green beans
chips
and *drum roll please* DR. PEPPER!!!! yummy!!
There's good news for the Clinton Harry Potter fans!! There's going to be a midnight showing of the movie the night before it comes out!! Amy (one of my *if not my* best friend) said she asked if there was gonna be one when she was at the movies the other day and they said YES!!! We were SO excited!!
I finally got Kiersten to read MAXIMUM RIDE! It's the bestest book(s) EVER!! I love them and most of my friends do (that was my argument) and she admits that its really good! I am proud of her (maybe it's cuz i might have accidentally kinda brainwashed her *shhh! Don't tell anyone!*)
Well, i think that's it! (I'm not sure. I have often forgotten what i was going 2 say. This might just be another one of those times)

P.S. this is Kiersten and i just want to say you have to read MAXIMUM RIDE!!!!!

Softball and Sunflower Seeds
I had a softball tournament this weekend (June 6th and 7th) in Shawnee, Kansas at Mid-America West Sporting Complex. It was a lot of fun!! My team doesn't act like a softball team. We act like a family. On Saturday, we had an hour break when we all sat around and ate and guessed music and had fun!
We played 5 games this weekend:
#1- win 8-0
#2- win 12-6 and i had the awesomest catch (run halfway across the outfield with a running catch and almost falling, but awesome!!)
#3- win 5-2 ( i thought we lost but my team corrected me. haha) put us at #1 in pool B and playing #4 in pool A
SUNDAY- BRACKET PLAY
#4- win 4-5 (way too close)
#5- lose 11-12:2 extra innings and a 2 hour game. We got 3rd place and all of us got medals!! and a trophy!!
We were so hyper before the 3rd game and we all got 2 go 2 IHOP after the last game and we were really loud (or so we were told). The strawberry banana pancakes are AMAZING!
Positions (for the people on my team- you can skip this)
Lauren- Pitcher
Chandra- Catcher
Jessica- 1st or outfield (usually right)
Haley- 1st or outfield (usually right)
Madie- 2nd (my bye-bye buddie)
Brooklyn- Shortstop
MJ- 3rd or outfield (usually left)
Marissa- 3rd or outfield (usually left)
Me (Taylor)- Center Field
Sydney (aka Tater Tot)- Official encourager and a hitter
Emma- Pitcher or outfield (she was gone on Sunday and we missed her lots)
*I think I got this right*
I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!
We got some good pics and i will post them as soon as my dad gets home from goodness-knows-where with the camera. HAHA!!!
There are some good times behind softball and sunflower seeds (which are good, but not when you get them spit on you)!!
That's it for now!!

This is Why. . .
This is my new blog! I was so excited when I got it, but i couldn't decide what 2 call it. My mom, my brother and I were thinking of names when we were eating lunch today.
My mom wanted "Tater Tot's Thots" but i don't like (haven't ever really) liked the name Tater Tot and it is now one of my teammate's names. My brother wanted something to do with UP (the movie) -"Doug Doesn't Like Squirrels". I was thinking, why doesn't it be really random? I sent this email once and i was thinking "Harold Isn't REALLY A Jedi" then i thought, maybe "Addicted To Sunflower Seeds" because my whole softball team (love you guys!) eats them ALL the time.
Then. . . i got my name. "Plane Proof House"! When my family was in Denver, Colorado in July 2008, my brother was afraid to go on a roller coaster in Elitch Gardens and my mom said not to live your life being afraid and that there was a bigger chance of a plane falling on your house than being hurt on a roller coaster. So I said, "Then you spend all your money on a plane proof house!!" Later I added,"Then after you spent all your money on a plane-proof house, you won't have any money for food and water and then you die and you don't get to see a plane fall on your house and it not get demolished!" It was really funny and it actually is symbolic, too!!
If you live in a plane proof house, then you won't ever take any chances. Not taking chances is no fun!! So you need to leave your plane proof house and not live your life being afraid of roller coasters. . . or anything else except the things that you can be afraid of, like snakes (that's a whole other story).
