IM BACK!!!
I bet you all missed me! I know I know I'm just awesome and hilarious, and you all wish you could be my bestest friend ;) :) just kidding! anyway, I've decided I'm gonna try this whole blogging-thing again. Its gonna be hard since facebook is SOOO much funner but at least I'm trying right?? since its been like 6 months since I last blogged, I'm gonna give you all an update ok?
so right now I am in 7th grade, and I am also a 7th grade rep (officer) at SJH (the FRIGGEN AWESOMIST school in the world!!). Oh, and I am 12 years old. (almost 13!! almost!!! 5 more months!!)
AAANNNNNDDD... thats my update.
yes I know its retarded, boring and lame, but you will know more about my fantastical, amazing, wonderful life later ok? (hopefully.. if I keep with this!)
pray for me, continuing this blog is gonna be a challenge!!

IM SOOOOO EXHAUSTED!
the kids were awesome, but they played with their friends most of the time and lets just say 4 4/5 year olds are very very very very hyper. One of the girls brought beads so they made necklaces. Man were they beautiful. Mismatching, all different types of beads...... they were masterpieces!
the end of the 4 year old hyper meeting ended with a big round of "i kissed a girl and i liked it".
I guess one of the girls learned a new song.

sorry for not posting anything.
some of the reasons i haven't are:
1. I've signed up for facebook. Sorry all you intense bloggers, but facebook is better becuase has quizes, apps, and you can be friends with people you haven't seen in forever.
2. As crazy as this sounds... my life really isn't all that interesting! in fact... 99% of the time my life is just ordinary. Every once in a while something like interesting like sbo elections or potty training zach are thrown in the mix.
I'll try to blog some more in the future... I can't say I promise cuz I know I would break it!
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
so we are potty training.
every hour we have to take him into the bathroom and sit there in tell he decides hes sick and tired of sitting there and squeezing. Unfortunatly... we haven't made much progress.
BUT WE ARE NOT GIVING UP!!!!

The Hunger Games
if you guys have nothing to read you should read "The Hunger Games"
its really, really, really good.
its about this girl who is chosen to compete in these things called the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is basically were they throw 2 kids from every district together and see who is the last one alive. Every year they put the kids in a different place... somtimes a desert or a wasteland so they dont just have to kill eathother... but survive the different weather and conditions. The lady who wrote it is also the one who wrote the Gregor series, so if you liked those you probably will like this.
yes... it sounds depressing, and it is a little.
but really good.

Im so happy schools over. This summer we're not doing much, but we have tennis every Monday and Wednesday all through june and the first week of July. I had my first lesson today and loved it! Its not as easy as it seems, but its not hard enough that you can't do it at all. My teachers are pretty nice, and so are the girls.
but theres another Taylor.
*sigh*
shes really nice.... I like her... but almost everywere I go there is a Taylor.

"tay, i want porn."
thats right, porn.
no, we're not doing suspicious things on the internet, thats just what zach calls popcorn.
also:
we were going for a ride one day, and i turned to zach and said:
"zach, where am i going to work when i grow up?"
Zach: "grandma"
me: "ohhhh, what am i going to do at grandmas?"
zach: (he thinks about this for a minute) "PORN!!!!!"
Grandma Gerona nows all about Zachs love for "porn" so almost every time we go there, she makes him some.
I love this kid.
soccer dodge ball.
they wont let any girls play, cuz we're not "man" enough for it.
but, whatever. I dont want to play anyway!!!!!!
what they do is they take a bunch of soccer balls, and throw them at each other in till' someone either starts crying, starts bleeding, or the duty comes over.
when the duty comes over, they all sit in a circle and play little-kid hand games.
once, when Chad threw the ball at Blake's head, it rebounded off of Blake, and hit Chad in the face.
it was awesome.
Monday, May 11, 2009
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are partnering us by height, so I'm probably going to be stuck with someone like Jon, or Eric.
this sucks.
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE TO FREAKING TALL????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But on the bright side, we get to pick our partners for the real dance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today is my birthday, so my mom surprised me by bringing my lunch (carls jrs) to school, along with fablehaven 4 (YES!!!!!!!!!!!), treats for my class, and a pack of gum.
my mom is awesome!
also, while i was quietly eating my lunch, garrett (Thanks garrett!), eric (thanks eric!), and draycen (thanks draycen!) told everyone in the sixth grade to sing happy birthday to me!
AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was sooooo nice.
everyone was singing as loud as they could, and it was so nice!
I just love birthdays!

for those of you who have NEVER gotten a pedicure, you need to! they are so awesome!
I also got acrylic nails on my fingers, and well, I cant really do anything with them.
I cant:
type
open stuff
wash my hands
typing this took me for forever!
but on the bright side, they look really cute, and now its easier to scratch my arm!

arm-pit farting.
you would think that it would be weird, but actually, its really funny!
some of the songs that he... well, um.... "plays" are:
hey there delilah (well actually, its "the letter t" which is a sesame street spoof)
your beautiful ( another sesame street spoof "my triangle")
single ladies
viva la viva
and poker face.
Right now Noahs trying to find something "jazzy" to play, so we would appreciate your suggestions!

just an update......
I think Mrs. Gailey is pretty happy that she isn't teaching us next week, because today in computer, she was actually SMILING!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
so, that was weird...
log on
get on ultrakey
wait
wait some more....
I guess when i was being a good girl (I know, ME? a good girl???) some kids were trying to help Mrs. Gailey (the computer teacher) and she didn't want them too.
so she yelled at us.
fun, right?
After her little speech she told us that we were going to have a substitute next week.
And I quote:
"If you are even a little bad for the substitute, then YOU WILL REGRET IT. You may think that i can't make this hard for you, but trust me, I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!"
end quote.
I just love Mrs. Gailey.

hightlights of my day....
1. Hailey getting her phone taken away by Mrs. Kovary during the program.
HILLARIOUS!
2. Seeing the look on Dalyns face when she got in trouble from Mrs. Kovary for skuzzing me off.....
haha dalyn, you deserved it!
3. The look on Chads face when he found out his pencil (that he had vowed to keep till' junior high) was lost.
4. The look on my Substitutes face when he found out he would be subbing the worst class in the grade. (or maybe the school.... we're still debating on that one.)
5. the sound of zachs voice this morning. I know this sounds weird, but what he said was:
"Porn!"
"Porn!"
by "porn" he means popcorn.

my BFFS!
these are my bestest friends.
let me tell you a bit about them!
Lindsay (the one with blond hair!):
Lindsay may be very quiet, but she is TONS OF FUN!!!!!! She is HILLARIOUS, and is an awesome dancer.
Brynna (the redhead):
Brynna is NEVER mad!! she is seriously the happiest person i have ever met. She's really funny too. Whenever you with her, you just kinda have to be happy!
and last but not least:
norman.
there is only one word to describe norman:
ENERGETIC.
or maybe loud.
i dont know.
but anyway, the point is, norman is loud, and happy, and energetic. She says the FUNNIEST, MOST RANDOMISt things. You might think shes weird by that description, but shes actually really fun! Especially about her height.

funny story
So, my great uncle Frank has this friend who's name is Ron. I guess that Ron listens to Dr. Laura on the radio. Ya, as if that wasn't weird enough, Ron surprised Frank by going up to him and saying:
"oh by the way, George died."
George is Ron's brother, and i guess he just, well died.
Subtle way to put it, right?
I just had to laugh when I found that out.
Sorry, I forgot to post this......
oh, by the way, i won.
YAYAYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for reminding me Kylie!
Sunday, April 12, 2009

Logan:

our 'lil ezzi (or however you spell her name.....)
on Sunday, March 31 (i think) we got a dog.
and not just any dog, the PERFECT dog. She has black fur, and is a malteise/yorkie. In other words, shes a morkie. Her name is Ezzi, and she is 10 weeks old.
We just love her to death!
except for zach.
he loves her much, much, much more than that!!!!!! Every time he sees her its:
GOOD DOG!!!!!
or
DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or
HANDS DOG!!!!!!
by "hands dog" he means he wants to pet the dog.
poor ezzi!
whenever she see's zach, she runs away into her doghouse, and stays in there in tell hes gone.
i kinda feel bad for zach, cuz thats just his way of saying he loves her, but still...............
oh, and hers a pic:

SBO speech
i need your help.
below is my SBO speech, i want you to tell me what you think about it, ok?
i have to present it tomorrow.
Hi, I’m Taylor and I’m running for 7th Grade SBR so I can represent how awesome we all are at Cook Elementary when we go on to Syracuse Jr High. Since some of you might not know me yet, let me tell you a bit about myself. When looking at the world and trying to make sense of it all, I often follow the WWCND rule. The “What would Chuck Norris Do?” Rule.
WWCND can be very useful in life. For example, if faced with a decision on what doors to use at Syracuse JR High, I would ask, “WWCND?” They answer is, “Chuck Norris’ house has no doors, only walls that he walks through.”
Just like Chuck, I will walk through walls for you in the 7th grade.
Or how about, when wondering what book to read and study for a book report, I ask myself WWCND? The answer is
Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Just like Chuck Norris, I will stare down the issues until I get the information you want and need from your student body representative.
When the lunch lady tells me “we don’t serve lasagna” but I really have a craving for it, I ask myself WWCND? The answer is
Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
Just like Chuck Norris, I will work to make the impossible happen at SJH.
When having trouble researching a science fair topic online, the first thing I think is WWCND? The answer is
Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.
Just like Chuck Norris, I will look out for and watch over all the 7th graders at SJH as a SBR.
And finally, when facing the situation of what the correct answers are for a mid-term exam, I would ask myself WWCND? The answer is:
Chuck Norris got a perfect score on all his tests, simply by writing Chuck Norris for every answer.
So on Thursday when you go to Vote for SBR ask yourself WWCND?, vote for Taylor ‘cause that what Chuck Norris would do. Thank you.

Self defense
My mom decided i needed to learn, so i got to come along.
IT WAS SO FUN!
unfortunatly, I couldn't get very much practice, because my partner was taylor norman.
And well, Normans kinda........ small.
so mainly, it was her beating ME up.
so, i decided to practice on my mom.
dont ask.
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
My brother and I were watching it last night, and noah said:
"tay, why are they wearing those clothes?"
I just had to admire my little brother for saying that.
oh sure, sometimes he is really annoying.
but he has his moments!
Friday, March 20, 2009

maturation......... ugh.
WhY??
WHY IS IT THAT THEY ARE SO DESCRIPTIVE DURING MATURATION???!!!!
i mean really, dont we already have enough pregnant girls in the world???
do they have to tell us every SINGLE DETAIL??????
of course they do.
because, quote "you are becoming grownup women, and need to learn about what is happening to your body." end quote.
stupid nurse.
and it also didn't help that my BFF Norman (taylor) was sitting next to me jumping up and down so she could answer every question. (oh, and most of the time, she got them wrong. haha!)
do they just want us to be tramatized?
or sick?
or scarred-for-life??
i dont know.
but i do know this:
i am NEVER letting my kids go to maturation.

STUPID RUMORS!!!!!
this is just not my week.
yesterday i find out that my "best friend" has been talking trash about me behind my back, that my other friend hates me and my bffs, and that someone put a note on jacob wakefeild (who the heck is he???) saying:
will you go out with me??
taylor cella.
I DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!
then, i get this email from my friend saying:
hey do you like eric o'reiley, cuz braden (grr!!!!) says that you asked him out and he said no.
WHO IS STARTING THESE STUPID RUMORS???!!!!!
is it some friend who thinks im mean to them?
is it some boy trying to get me in trouble??
i dont know!!!
let me tell you, i try VERY hard not to make enemies.
i try to be nice to everyone, and only make friends.
GRR.....
STUPID 6TH GRADE!

D.A.R.E
it was hillarious!!!
you put these goggles one, and there is 2 of everything, so while your trying to get on the go cart, you have to figure out which one is the REAL one, and usually fall on your butt while trying to do so.
then, they unleash you onto the go cart "track" .
so, while trying not to fall off of the go cart, you also have to try and figure out which cone is which, and try not to run over them.
seriously, it was fun.
hard, sickining, and even a little scary, but fun.
Tuesday, March 3, 2009

- By moving one of the following digits, make the sum correct. 62 - 63 = 126 - 63 = 1 (In other words, 2x2x2x2x2x2, which equals 64)
- You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?Take the chicken over first. Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you. Leave it on the other side with the grain. Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.
- You have 12 black socks and 12 white socks mixed up in a drawer. It's early in the morning and you don't have any light to see the colors. How many socks must you pull out (blindly) to be sure of getting a matching pair?3 socks. If the first sock is black, the second one could be black, in which case you have a matching pair. If the second sock is white, the third sock will be either black and match the first sock, or white and match the second sock.
- What is special about the following sequence of numbers?
8 5 4 9 1 7 6 10 3 2 0 - Three travelers register at a hotel and are told that their rooms will cost $10 each so they pay $30. Later the clerk realizes that he made a mistake and should have only charged them $25. He gives a bellboy $5 to return to them but the bellboy is dishonest and gives them each only $1, keeping $2 for himself. So the men actually spent $27 and the bellboy kept $2 - what happened to the other dollar of the original $30?Nothing. The 3 travelers paid a total of $27, making $25 for the hotel and $2 for the clerk. There is no missing $1.
- You are the bus driver. At your first stop, you pick up 29 people. On your second stop, 18 of those 29 people get off, and at the same time 10 new passengers arrive. At your next stop, 3 of those 10 passengers get off, and 13 new passengers come on. On your fourth stop 4 of the remaining 10 passengers get off, 6 of those new 13 passengers get off as well, then 17 new passengers get on. What is the color of the bus driver's eyes?The eye color of the reader of this problem. The first sentence is the key: "You are the bus driver"
- A rooster lays an egg at the very top of a slanted roof. Which side is the egg going to roll off on?Neither, roosters don't lay eggs.
- U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them.
The flashlight must be walked back and forth. It cannot be thrown and other tricks like that are not needed to solve the problem. The solution is simply a matter of allocating resources in a certain order. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:
Bono: 1 minute to cross
Edge: 2 minutes to cross
Adam: 5 minutes to cross
Larry: 10 minutes to cross
For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.You get to figure this one out on your own :) If you can't figure it out, email me and I'll give you a hint. There is an answer, and it doesn't require tricks like throwing the flashlight or shining it backwards. You just have to find the combination of people crossing back and forth in the normal way (there are two of them) that takes 17 minutes. - Why is it very common to have a 9 minute snooze interval on alarm clocks, why not 10 instead?By setting the snooze time to 9 minutes, the alarm clock only needs to watch the last digit of the time. So, if you hit snooze at 6.45, the alarm goes off again when the last digit equals 4. They couldn't make it 10 minutes, otherwise the alarm would go off right away, or it would take more circuitry.
- A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page. The bookworm eats in a straight line. The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order. Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat through?
this weeks trick questions answers!!!
1. 1, i was the only one going to st. ives.
2. You have only left one. (You brought the other two with you.)
3. The letter *r*.
4. None of the above.
The third millennium started recently, not the second.
5. You were the pilot, so your name.
6. Edam (*made* backwards)
7. Forever... the boat rises with the tide.
8. In an alphabetical listing of US states.
9. One big pile.
10.Four
11. What ... that*s the dog*s name.
12. One; after that the bread is no longer whole.
13. They both weigh the same. N.B.: Only if weighed with the same pound counterweight on a balance scale.
Alternatively, feathers, like most items, are measured in pounds
avoirdupois, but gold is measured in pounds troy. People will
commonly tell you that there are 16 ounces in a pound avoirdupois
and 12 ounces in a pound troy, but this isn*t a great explanation
because an ounce avoirdupois and an ounce troy aren*t the same thing
either. But if you go down to grains, which _is_ a common measure in
the two systems (or translate to grams), there a pound of feathers
weighs 7000 grains (454 g), but a pound of gold weighs 5760 grains
(373 g). In this real-life scenario a pound of feathers weighs more
than a pound of gold.
14.From an duck*s egg.
15.One is a half a dollar and the other is a nickel
16.The answer is ONCE, because after that you are folding it into quarters, then eighths, etc.
If you were to answer it beyond this trick question, then 8 would be maximum. I tried it, and after that the paperbegan to tear.
17.An able-bodied person, i.e. not an invalid. It is pretty normal not to have ALL your fingers on ONE hand.
18.Only the boys were actually buried. The story tells us that in this massacre Herod would only have killed boys, because he wanted to kill Jesus, the future king of Israel.
19.The toe of a boot usually faces forward.
20.The sophisticated computer (the broken clock is only right twice a day, the other clock only once in every 236.55 years).
i didn't really like these trick questions, they were hard in a simple way. you had to really pay attention. plus, they were kinda dumb.
i'll get better!
THINGS I HATE!!!!
2. when people in the line in the mall, or a place like that look over you shoulder and say "ohhhhh your buying that???"
3. when my teacher, Mrs. Parkinson tells us its time to go to science.
i usually dont mind science, but with Mrs. Parkinson, I HATE IT!!!
4. when everyone gives you weird looks JUST BECAUSE your wearing 6 inch stilettos.
Once, these girls were passing me in the hall, and they were like, "look at her shoes!!".
ya losers, you just wish you could pull off wearing shoes like that.
5. boys that when your wearing your Mom's dangly earings, that come up over your shoulder, and hit them.
you know, when they jingle them?
6. someone whos only conversation starter is: "so, the weathers nice today."
7. a person (not going to say her name!) that I invite to a utah utes football game, and then gets me in trouble asking my parents through HER when we are going to get food!!!!!!!!!
8. a BYU fan.
all i have to say on that matter.
9. even worse, a ute thats gone bad.

right now i am listening to the sounds of my brother zach screaming, my other brother noah sighing and saying, why cant taylor come play with me? (just a note to that: I HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THEM ALL WEEK!!!!! I NEED ALONE TIME!!!!) and dad working on the floor.
sometimes, i just wish that i had a normal family, you know, 2 normal, quiet little brothers. A mom and a dad that dont have to do a different' project every weekend/week, ones that think A LOT about who that project is going to affect.
Just kidding.
I LOVE MY FAM!!!!

didn't work out so well.
on thecutestblogontheblock.com (LOVE THAT WEBSITE!!), they tell you how to make your own blog backgrounds.
most of it (well, all of it!) required photoshop, and we dont have that.
so, i decided to try to be clever, and just use my photobucket account to do it the short way.
once again, didn't work out.
oh well, at least there was a lesson learned:
i'll never survive as a technician.

andrew was being a good person and reminded me that i shouldn't be scared of the vaccum, because obviously i am SO FREAKING scared of the vaccum. (sarcasm!)
i just love that kid!
one of my primary teachers is being released, and is now a nursery worker!
so, she gave us our valentine candy early.
during primary, heather and i tried different ways to get your candy into your mouth during primary without anyone noticing. we found that if you pretend to yawn, and instead put you candy in, it works the best. pretending to cough, or sneeze doesn't.
dont even ask!!

sorry, im too lazy to put them on a seperate post!!!!!!
today in science we tried to see how many colors we could make by mixing different amounts of blue, yellow, and red. we made 24 colors. it was fun, because really, we didn't have to do much. all we had to do was mix colors. basically, it was a chance to talk. im mad though. there are friend problems at cook elementry. not with me, but my friend just basically was told to never hang out with my other friend again. tons of fun, right??
so the boys in my school play this really weird game of football. they only hike it once, and the team with the ball at the end of recess wins. (I know, dumb.) they dont run it, there is no first downs, no touchdowns, no field goals, nothing. just passing and throwing. their motto is: you catch, you throw, you die. What that means is that if you ever have the ball, your going to get dog piled. fun fun, right?
being born in may sucks. my best bud (whos birthday is in november, LUCKY!!!) gets to go off to young womens, while I'm stuck in primary with all the other 10 year olds. i do have another girl thats closer to my age (heather!!) but she's turning 12 in febuary, so pretty soon, im going to have to face primary and class ALONE. i know, its going to be a challenge!!!!
right now i am reading the third book in the inheritance series, brisingr. i love it! i thought these books would be stupid, but i was SO wrong! i read eragon in fourth grade, and moved onto eldest and thought both were dumb. one day in library in 6th grade, i had nothing to read. (as usual) So, i decided to give these books a chance! and they are freaking awesome.
my teacher keeps forgetting to do spelling bee. so were doing it monday instead. anyway, so today the resorce teacher came in today to do some tests on us. im going to tell you guys about her disgusting outfit! ok, so she had on this HUGE green turtleneck sweater, these green tights, (not pants or leggings, TIGHTS!) that hooked onto her feet, green socks, and ugly green shoes. she looked like peter pan, but older and a girl. it was really weird.
tomorrow is my class spelling bee. i hope i win! the words are SO easy though, there is only like, around 300 words. last year, there was like a 1000. wish me good luck!
today at school, we did these things in health, and we passed around papers, and wrote 1 nice thing about everyone. mine was nice! and also, in typing i had 75 words per minute, and 99 percent accuracy. today was a good day!!!!!!
so today at school ashley, garrett and me were discussing little brothers. (or in garretts case, little sisters) at first, garrett was convinced that his sister was the weirdest. after i told him about zach, he decided that his little sister was normal. why his sister is taking of her diaper, my little brother is eating toothpaste. or sticking q-tips inside it. once, my mom went in her bathroom to brush her teeth, and found out that our little stinker had gone in and stuffed 8 q-tips in the toothpaste. ya. my mom had a real fun time getting all of those q-tips out. we just couldn't stop laughing! zach knows hes not supposed to eat the toothpaste, so when he see's us coming to take it away from him, he runs into my moms closet, (its connected to my moms bathroom) and hid under my dads shirts. its really funny to see him, cuz he thinks he just picked the best hiding spot ever. meanwhile, im laughing because his legs are sticking out underneath the clothes, so you can see him. he thinks hes so cool. he also sticks things down his diaper. we came home from church yesterday, and our dad ( who had to stay home with him) told us that zach stuck a spoon down his diaper. he just grabbed it, and stuck it down under. can you see now why i have the weirdest brother?????!!!1
my church class is really weird with all the new kids in it. we are really used to having a couple in the beggining, and then like 2 or 3 have to go to young womens, so theres only me, katie, heather, and heidi. sometimes. depends! but anyway, now, we have like 10. its so weird!!!!!!!!
good times.
