Oh Tony...

So like I said, this kid never stops talking. He makes me laugh every day. Here are some more tidbits to make you smile too.

(Breakfast time. There were 2 pitchers of juice on the counter. One was Orange juice, the kind that was made from actual oranges. And the other one was orange juice, that was actually made from guava, but was colored Orange. So basically there were 2 "orange" juices on the counter....Just to clear things up)

Tony- MOM, i want the orange juice!

Sarah- Which kind?

Tony- The orange juice, that is Orange, but is not Orange juice.

Sarah- So you want the orange juice, that is not Orange juice, but is orange?

Tony- Yes, i want that orange juice, that is Orange. ABI, say orange!

Me- Naraja (which is Orange in Spanish)

Tony- ...............nice.


(While Tony and I were playing Mario Kart Wii, he kept nudging me with his sharp little elbows right in my bicep. WHICH REALLY HURT just to let you know...)

Me- Tony! Why do you keep nudging me!!!???

Tony- I don't know why i keep nudging you...you gotta ask my doctor.


(Tony loves going out to restaurants to eat. This time he wanted to go to P.F. Changs, which we were driving past at the time he started to whine.)

Tony- DADDY! I want to go to P.F. Changs!

Dad- No, we are not going there.

Tony- Why not Daddy?!

Dad- Because I don't have any money!

Tony- Yes you do!

Dad- No, I don't! (the car is quiet for a while...)

Tony- Mom...can you give some money to my dad?


(Tony and Kylee were wrestling on the couch. Kylee notices that there is a wet spot on her shirt)

Kylee- Did you do this Tony??

(Tony looks at her with his "are you serious" dead pan look.)

Tony- Kylee............does it have my name on it?


OH TONY, DON'T GROW UP!!!!!!

Did you just...

This kid is a hoot.

Anthony Alexander Fernandez A.K.A "Tony" is possibly one of the funniest humans on this earth. You never know what is going to come out his mouth next and what amazing facial expression is going to accompany it. He is the master of the one raised eyebrow, "Are you serious?" look, and his infamous cheeky "You know you love me..." look.
He is quite the talker and loves to ramble on and on, and he loves it when anybody takes time out to listen to him. Yet i find that the best quotes from him, come when he thinks no one is listening. So here, enjoy some little tidbits of my life with this crazy kid.

(I wake up and walk into the living room where he is laying in the floor watching tv)
*runs up and gives me a hug

"Abi... I am glad you are here...I like morning hugs"

(Whilst looking at his hair in the mirror after waking up)

"Well.....I look like a chicken!"

(Seeing a cool toy on a commercial)

"THATS MIGHTY COOL!"

(His little brother Ethan was being taken up stairs kicking and screaming to go take a nap)

"Ethan, Stop being crabby! Just take your juice and GO home!"

(Ethan is laughing to himself in the car for no apparent reason)

"Mom! i am not touching him, he is just laughing!........................weirdo baby."

(When he colors out of the lines in the coloring book)

"I do NOT know why I am doing that! I must be out of my mind!"

(When he is showing me the nativity of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, he got from his teacher at school)

"And this is Baby Jesus,,,and this is Joseph,,,,,,,,and that is.......................Noah"

(When it was just me and him at the breakfast table.)

"Sometimes...I just forget who you are."


Isn't he wonderful? And did I mention he is only 4? I wish he could stay this way forever.

I am so blessed to have a little brother so rad as Tony.

I LOVE YOU TONY!

Whats Black and White, and Red all over?

Ok not really black and white, but certainly red all over!

I was just trying to enjoy a good meal with my family, and friend (kylee's new boy toy Ryan), and then WHAM-MO! My mouth goes into that paralysis that happens when you bite your tongue or your cheek.

Me- Owwwwwwwww! Whatha? Tha hur!

Kylee- Look at me

I turn to her with my wounded tongue hanging out

Kylee- OH MAN! SICK SICK!

Me- Wha!? Wha?!

Ryan- Lemme see! Lemme see!

I turn towards him, not noticing if i am drooling or not, I mean its hard not to when your tongue is hanging out like a dog's

Ryan- Wicked! What the heck did you do!?

Me- Wha ar you thalkin abo?

Mom- Hurry! Put some pressure on it! QUICK YOU ARE GETTING IT EVERYWHERE!

I rush to the bathroom

..........and this is what i find

Evidently I bit my tongue way deep. And blood started going everywhere. It wewwy hur!! The white stuff is the napkin that got stuck to the blood on my tongue. Now i am going to have to enjoy my Christmas Eve feast with 3 bloody purple teeth wounds on my tongue. Curses!!

These are a few of my favorite things...

These are my favorite Christmas tree ornaments.

Every year we get a "Charlie Brown" tree. We find the saddest tree in the forest, and take it home with us to have a nice Christmas. Everybody needs to feel loved, especially on Christmas!

(You can't really tell in this picture. But there are HUGE chunks missing out of it, and it is waaaay crooked...But..its still loved)

Well, I hope you all have a Happy Christmas, and Father Christmas treats you well!

Stay Warm!

What a Christmystery!

I have lived in McMinnville my WHOLE life, and let me just tell you this.... I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS MUCH SNOW! I think something is wrong with God's thermostat. I came home to my McMinnville on Friday the 12th of December, and it hasn't stopped snowing since!!! What is up!?

Where is my Mary Poppins?

You have all heard your mother say this to you when you were growing up, and some of you still might hear it from her time to time. Yet it is still painful to any child's ears.

CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

Yet this isn't coming from my sweet mother.. oh no.. this is coming from my new mother. My roommate Brinna. Its not like i am a complete slob, oh no, that is not me. Stilllllll... my side seems to always get messier than hers... (personally I think she keeps a pack of wild pigs under her bed and she lets them loose when I am not home, just to ravage my side and to make it "appear" more dirty.)

Oh well... cleaning checks are only 2 times a month...

(p.s)
So there are 4 floors of girls dorms in this hotel I call home.. and there are 2 vacuums for all of us. So basically it is a neverending scavenger hunt to find these suckers. (ha...literally). But when I need them... they are no where to be found. SERIOUSLY NO WHERE. Yet....

THEY BOTH ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND THEIR WAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY DOOR!

But this is the morning OF cleaning checks. So this means..i have to wake up EARLIER just to vacuum. And I can tell you this folks...waking up, and then hearing that horrible noise...doesn't make one's day...


Seriously.....I think the cosmos are against me...

My Skater Punkasaurus

"I need to exercise...but running on the treadmill would be boring...so why do that when skating is 10 billion times more fun!?" - Colt

He showed me his smooth moves



And his....not...so smooth moves..



But what can I say... I love my Skater Punk!

Garlic necklaces and Crucifixes

Vampires mostly reside in folk tales and movies with a heavy metal or intense techno soundtrack. Yet, I have concluded that there is indeed one of these “undead” enrolled in what happened to be also, my school.

How have I come to this conclusion? Well, I would have to start at the beginning..

I walked into the great room, taking in and sensing my new surroundings. I looked upon those of whom I would be sharing my Tuesdays and Thursdays between the times of 12:20 and 1:20. They seemed normal from what I could tell, nothing that stuck out.

But then, there he was. Far back in the shadows of the room. Which was an achievement in itself, because the room was very well lit. He was alone and he seemed to enjoy that fact. As he sat straight and erect, he stared a hole into the back of the blonde soprano giggling in front of him.

“Does he blink?!” “Does he even have eyelids?!” I questioned inside my mind.

As I took my seat in the front of the room, thoughts and questions ran through my head. His appearance seemed to trigger something. My mind raced trying to figure out what about him made me remember something. Then, as fast as a slap to the face, it hit me.

“Does any one else see it?!” I asked desperately to all the altos around me. They gave questioning looks to those around them, and to me.

“What, I can't be the only one that sees this, just look!” I said, trying to defend my cause.

With intense eyes, I motioned them to glance behind them to see....him.

“Now do you see it?”

HE IS A VAMPIRE!

(p.s. this is how he dresses EVERYDAY, jewelry and everything)

(and this is his vampire-ess Jessica.)

Something to Make You Smile...

Here is some quotes from one of my favorite comedians Demetri Martin. This is one hilarious carbon based life form...

“I wonder what the most intelligent thing ever said was that started with the word ‘dude.’ ‘Dude, these are isotopes.’ ‘Dude, we removed your kidney. You’re gonna be fine.’ ‘Dude, I am so stoked to win this Nobel Prize. I just wanna thank Kevin, and Turtle, and all my homies.’”

“I saw a guy at a party wearing a leather jacket and I thought, ‘That is cool.’ But then I saw another guy wearing a leather vest and I thought, ‘That is not cool’. Then I figured it out: ‘Cool’ is all about leather sleeves.”

“‘Sort of’ is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler. Sort of - it doesn’t really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after ‘I love you’ or ‘You’re going to live’ or ‘It’s a boy.’

“When you have a fat friend there are no see-saws. Only catapults.”

“I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you’d be like ‘Huh? What the hell is this?’, but if it’s in a fruit basket you’re like ‘This is nice!.’”

“I like video games, but they’re really violent. I’d like to play a video game where you help the people who were shot in all the other games. It’d be called ‘Really Busy Hospital.’”

This is just a tid bit of the many hilarious quotes of demetri martin. I hope these made you smile or laugh..OR BOTH!

Fedoras Galore-a!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE COLT J BOWDEN!

This is Halloween, This is Halloween. Everybody Give a Screeeaaam!

All Hallow's Eve. The day where I can wear my fangs and not be considered a poser goth Hot Topic kid. The day where i can wear my shockingly bright leggings and not get scared by people staring at my legs. Oh what a magical day this Halloween. What a perfect October day to get Papusas with my best friend. (The Papusas' restaurant floor matches my shoes perfectly!)

turning a leaf in my heart.

Autumn time is here, and I am falling in love.
I found love, in the fall,and it did not hurt at all.
The other half that fits my heart like a glove,
Finding warmth inside whilst' it is cold on the out.
