Howdy! :D
It's been awhile since I have posted, which consequently I have ton's to post and have not a clue where to start. :D Well, I did say that I would post regarding adventures, so this shall be the other post to it....what shall I call it...hmmm....The Four Gangsters and TPing raid...yes yes, I like it...especially since my mind can't think of anything more witty. :D
One night, a long while ago, a beautiful and very tired girl was awoken in the middle of the night by what she thought was laughter or the howling of coyotes. Half awake, she couldn't decide for sure, so she chose to blame it on the coyotes and fall back asleep, for after all, she needed her beauty rest. The next morning, she awoke before any one else in her castle and chose, very quietly and sweetly to walk down the hall and do as maids would do, let her dog out. Once this task was accomplished, she walked back in the direction of her bedroom, but shimmering of what seemed to be white rays of sunlight caught the corner of her eye. Taking a better look, her curiosity was up and after investigation, it appeared that someone had TP'd the castle, (a very small one that is :D). Now for those that are not sure of what TPing may be, let me enlighten you before I continue. TPing is a short way of saying Toilet Papering. It is accomplished when hoodlums, or people that have nothing else better to do perform this duty by throwing each roll throughout one's property achieving their desire to decorate it in a very interesting fashion. To some, it may be called a love gift and to others (namely those that clean it up :D), it may be called frustrating...and then there are those that are amused by it and think it quite funny :D
Ok back to the story now that is settled. This sweet gal's investigation was right and whoohooo, the game was on! She tossed aside her sweetness and gentleness she portrayed that morning and placed upon her face the biggest smile ever made and along with it laughter. She ran upstairs, and to my memory, I think she yelled non formally, "Someone has TP'd our house!" This arouse everyone else living within these confines and all were outside in a jiffy through the side door of course for fear of messing up the beautiful job :D They did however open the front door seeing then a little tiny brown bag with a yellow piece of paper as the note. "Careful" was the word coming from the father of the home, once this mysterious package was touched. The note read:
And chocolate was nestled in the middle of the bad. So their minds were spinning, but not for long, for the handwriting was recognized and the puzzle solved, the TPing Gangsters were found out, it was their good friends and another who traveled from far to TP their house :D For they did have a "Storrie" to tell and one that will be remembered but before I finish, I must say, that the TP was not TP at all, for these Gangsters are sophisticated, for they used Crape Paper to do their trick which created the effect only messy it was not.

Now fear as they, the Gangsters should, for the game is not done, these recipients are wise and think very long. They have lots of knowledge in this particular game having learned much through years passed. They may take this as a warning but they shouldn't fear for nothing shall happen too very dear. For kindness and graciousness is between them, this they should know and nothing will be done to harm this or them.
Now you all know the story, I hope it was told well. If I forgot anything, the pictures shall tell :D

Adventures in the Tijerina House!
OH Boy! Where do I begin? Adventures seem to have attacked the Tijerina's
home lately...and for those that know specific details, pun intended. ;) But all the details must wait...I don't have lots of time at the moment...but wanted to post what happened yesterday. :) Here she is! :)

Yup a kitten, or rather, Lil' Miss Priss, has decided to take residence in the Tijerina home till 1) She either weasels her way into the family (which is my prayer) or 2) We find her original owners. :)
She is about 5 month old and loves to be loved. It's quite hilarious actually. She has to be on the same floor of our house that another person is on and if not, she tells how awful it is. She is probably the most vocal of the cats I have met! :) You could truly have a conversation with her!
Alright for the details:

My mom, brother and I were headed to take pictures of the Roy children yesterday at Hariman Lake yesterday and while we were walking there, I heard a panicky meow...one that you only hear when something is seriously wrong. ;) I walked up to the fence which guards the Fire Station and look frantically to see where it was coming from. Then I saw this little cutey stand up by the firetruck and bounce, literally bounce, to where we were standing. My first thought was,"How fun, it's the residence kitten at the firehouse." But I wanted to check to make sure this was true and that she wasn't a stray. So my mom and I headed to the front of the Fire Station, with kitten following. We asked a very sweet gal if she belonged to anyone there at the station and the answer was no.
So, my mom and I discussed it and thought that it would be wise, with the fire gal's thoughts too, to take her home by way of the vet, and see if we could find her family since she didn't have any tags, only a flee collar. After seeing the vet, she's alright, and has no chip so we really have no way of letting her family know where she is other than leaving our information at the Fire station, Vet, and other Animal places. She's here, safe and sound. Sunny absolutely loves her! She's not so sure of him but he absolutely loves her! :) It's hilarious to watch him!
We are on the second day and all seems to be going well! :)
Anyways, we are praying that sweet little Priss either finds her home or (I am praying, and I encourage you too) that she finds her home in our hearts. ;) :) :D
More to come about our..eh-hem...adventures...stay tune!

Andrew's very very late Graduation Dinner Celebration!
Poor Andrew. Almost 1 1/2 has gone by and no Graduation dinner....until now! Another grand tradition in our family is to take the Graduate out for a celebration dinner at Claim Jumper. For those that have never been, it is a place to go to! (Just to warn you though, it's on the expensive side.) But not to worry, it's all worth it for the celebration and memories!


This is a picture of the very famous Motherload Cake! :) Doesn't it look yummy! There are 6 layers of cake with 7 layers of frosting and not to mention the nuts! You can kind of see it in the piece on the left side of the picture! Mmmmm mmmm good!

Life would be boring without fun pictures! :)

And more fun pictures! :)
More Demo!
Here are some more!

The action!

The pain!

And the actual clearing away!

You know, the guys and I were wondering what it would be like if they decided to do a "Tractor Derby." Now that would be interesting. In Michigan, they have done a few Combine Derbies. None of which I have gone to but my Grandpa Cole says that they're Great!
