But we got a call at 1:20am this morning calling search & rescue. Two little kids were out and lost up tollgate so we got ready. I got Aunt Joni, Talith, Maggie and then Aunt Joni brought her twins Halima and Safirya. We were ready and up there all bundled up by 2:10 am. It took them a while to get there from La Grande to coordinate the whole thing. We are closer, they got it all together in 10 minutes and assigned us to a search grid and we were across the road and searching by 2:23 am. Aunt Joni and the twins were called to follow a secondary trail that the dogs found. It looks like the kids wandered in circles and so we needed to have one group make sure. We kept going straight. Aslann was irritated with me, we let the girls do their training and do more of the searching, but Aslann is a nationwide search & rescue dog and it bugged him not to be in the lead. LOL!! I was so proud of the job the girls did, we had a long search, and those two little ones walked a long way in the wrong direction trying to find their way back to the cottage on the lake. They did not know to go downhill to a lake. The girls were so happy to have been running a three mile trek with me every morning, I run 5 to 8 miles but the girls go on the first three of them and then get ready for school. We have to have endurance for those long searches. Aslann and I get called out nationwide, so we are in shape. She does rescue work as well as a veterinarian clinic. so she knows the dangerous times we get into. And wants to make sure the girls have the opportunity to be involved in search and rescue. The girls do a great job on their horses. Maggie and Talaith do not do horse searches because they do not ride, but they are able to do the ground work closer in. The girls did a great job on a long search this weekend and we are proud of them. Our area has quite a few searchers so we can cover a lot of territory because there are a lot of mountains out there. There is a lot of mountains out there to search on each side of the highway. We spent so long with the dogs having the scent, but we just kept going up the mountain. We found the kids about three hours in and they were cuddled up and cold. We checked them out a bit got some hot tea down them and I got the thermos with hot oatmeal out and got them to eat a little too. Then when we had gotten them warmed up a bit, I grabbed the boy in the thermal blanket and Talaith picked up the girl. Maggie and Topaz lead us out and we had the kids back in time to put them in an ambulance and send them out to the hospital. The parents had stayed in their house and 'waited' for us to find their kids, who were just left outside in the evening to hunt eggs and they drank. Then the father had the nerve to come out and yell at the little six-year-old for taking his sister out there. The father would not listen to the boy saying she wandered off he found her and they did not know how to get back to the cabin. They did not go to the hospital with the kids, and said they would go in the morning to collect them. They were tired. I sure hope CPS visits them and checks out their lives. It was a good but frustrating search situation. When we got home around 9 am this morning or so, the girls were there ready to feed some high energy food and give our dogs a bath for us so that we could hit the showers and our beds. By the time I crawled into bed the dogs were dry and Aslann slept on my bed too. I have a king bed because he is a bed hog. LOL!!
We are going to keep going and tell the truth, but it just made us laugh that now we are unsafe to read because we write on our blog about God.
Our founding fathers of this America would be so unhappy how twisted the things that they believed in have been twisted. This country once stood in Christ. Now it stands in sin. This is the next house we had built in Stonehaven Highland Way. I designed the house for six girls and I and we enjoy living in this beautiful home. We have made a good life here. And the last photo is my household together, the girls are happy living here with me and we have a lot of fun and a lot of drama.
Mahalina & Nessie, Malynn & Leah, Jayd & Ruff, Ragnaid & Little Fire, Aunt Helena & Mama Kitty, Willow & Malina, and last is Tayla & Jake. We make a great family together.
This week Mimi and I went to the Coco-Nut Hut and had a couple strawberry shakes for Valentine's Day. and some desserts. Mimi loved her milkshake she is a food hound for anything that I am eating. LOL!! We are still waiting for our new background to come in, it will be the big one and the one that is up now will be the sideboard. It will fit much better than the black and white roses.
Next month is St. Patty's day and then we will change to the next months background before Easter is on the spring April background. It comes too early this year. Easter in March, that is crazy. LOL!! Tonight is the last night of the tournament. Our crowd out there is larger than usual. Everyone is anxious to see where the roller coaster ride of scores will end. We will get started to see where this last round takes us. Maeve and Syssa finished setting everything up for the last round of levels. It is exciting and they cannot wait to get started. Maeve is modeling a sweater tonight it is an orange owl sweater knitted by Natalya and designed by DB Kids. Tiernan walks in mic in hand of course. "Is there anything else we need to do at this point?" "No, we just need the twins." Syssa answers, "Ah good, they will be here any minute." Tiernan says. "Here comes someone now, I cannot tell who it is." says Maeve. When they get a little closer Syssa tells the others it is Kityee and Katyee. "H, everyone, and hello to everyone in the audience." Kityee said. Kityee and Katyee are also modeling two owl sweaters kitted by Natala, who loves the design work from DB Kids. These will also be for sale in a few days. In walks Willow and Tayla, they are dressed casually and are ready to finish up this tournament. They have high hopes for the finish. When all four twins were seated, Syssa started the game. It was quite uneventful until level 43, at that time Kityee and Katyee had the two high scores and started catching up with Willow and Tayla. Kityee and Katyee's fans got excited. They began to believe that there was hope that Kityee and Katyee would catch up. As the game continued tension continued to build. At the end of level seven, Syssa makes a chilling announcement for the twins. "Ok," Syssa says, "We have a tremendous bit of excitement going into this last level of the game. Willow and Tayla have a score of 529,360, and Kityee and Katyee are at 526,700. Which leave them with a difference of 1,720 points. It really is any ones game now!!" "Hey, Kityee and Katyee, how are you feeling going into the last level of the game, knowing you are so close to winning?" Syssa asks. "We are so excited it is unbelievable. Katyee answered, "We definitely did not expect our scores to be so close again this game." Kityee adds, "We will be excited no matter who wins, but losing will be a bit of a letdown after coming this close to their score." "Willow and Tayla what a surprising night this has been, after last night did you expect the scores to get this close tonight." Tiernan asked. "No way," says Tayla, "I cannot believe they caught up but this sure makes the last level a challenge." "We will be happy with the outcome win or loose, but I sure hope we win". puts in Willow. Everyone is on the edge of their seat waiting for this level to end. The crowd is holding their breath as the twin's battle on. "Level eight has ended, the scores are in, we have a new high score for the level of 10,670 points. Our hats are off to Katyee for breaking 10,000 points on a level." The crowd roared with cheers for Katyee. "Ok, and now the scores you were really waiting for," Tiernan announces. "On table one Willow and Tayla have 543,925 points and on table two Kityee and Katyee have .. .. .." Tiernan draws out the last points. "546,895. Our winners tonight are Kityee and Katyee". The crowd goes wild and all of the twins are jumping up and down for the winners of this tournament. Above the noise of the crowd and the twins. Tiernan announces to the group, "There is more ice-cream here, treats for everyone." The twins and organizers were so worn out by the end of the night that they just sat down at the nearest tables to enjoy their ice cream and did not put the table all together. The last thing that Kityee and Katyee needed was a sugar high, but they filled up on ice-cream anyway. Thank you for joining us through this tournament, it was a lot of fun and we enjoyed spending this time together with each other. It was a fun project.
With just two nights left of the tournament and the scoring leaders changing often there is a lot of tension leading up to the rounds tonight and tomorrow night. We saw some major upsets last night it will be interesting to see if the game is as fast moving tonight. It is about time for tonight's round to begin, Syssa and Maeve are at the Coco-Nut Hut waiting for the twins to arrive. Tonight, they model Little Wollens sweaters in the patter of Gulf Shore designs. When Tiernan walks in they are so deep into their conversation they do not even notice his arrival. He sneaks up behind them, puts his mic up close to them and turns it on. All of a sudden Syssa hears her voice come over the speakers. She yells at Tiernan, "Turn that off, this is a private conversation." Tiernan laughs and turns off the mic. "You know Tiernan, that could have been really embarrassing that was a very personal conversation." Syssa says. "I did not think about that." Tiernan said, "Tiernan you are just too much of a prankster," Maeve says. "I got your attention." Tiernan laughs. "Oh look, the first set of twins is here," as he makes a quick subject change. Tonight, Willow and Tayla are decked out in sweaters that Natalya made to sell. They are modeling the Cabin Trail sweaters that are made from Little Woolens patterns. Kityee and Katyee are also modeling Little Wollens sweaters in the Cabin Trail design. These are also for sale as well. Everyone sits down and gets settled into the game. The first level of the night was very uneventful, but the girls had fun as they played. The second round was more exciting as it brought a change to which team was leading in total score. When Syssa made the score announcement, Willow and Tayla started cheering. It was obvious that they had taken over the lead. "I see you are just a little excited about taking back your lead. Do you think you can keep it tonight?." Syssa asks the twins. "I sure hope so" says Tayla. "It will depend on the boards we get but we are all close and that is the best feeling." answers Willow. Tiernan goes over to Kityee and Katyee. "What are your thoughts on the change of the score this round." he asked. "This game has been bouncing back and forth like that all the way through." says Kityee. "It is like being on a scoring rollercoaster," said Katyee, "Everybody's scores are just up and down and up and down." "That is what keeps the game interesting" says Kityee. "Win or lose we just hope we give them a good close game." They went back to the game and experienced no great changes throughout the last six levels. At the end of level eight Tiernan announces the final score of the evening. Kityee and Katyee have 456,535 points together. Willow and Tayla have 467,965 points together. Willow and Tayla go into a happy dance when they realize that they have taken over with a tremendous lead. Tonight's upset leaves everyone on the edge wondering what will happen at the final round.
Welcome to the next round of the tournament, as of now Kityee and Katyee lead the way. We are excited as this tournament is wrapping up soon. It has been fun, and we will do things like this again. When Willow and Tayla arrive for their tournament the Coco-Nut Hut was empty, and the girls just looked at each other and shrugged. Kityee and Katyee came in right after the Bolton twins and were shocked to find the Coco-Nut Hut was empty except for Willow and Tayla. "Where is everybody," Kityee asked. "We have no idea, we just got here as well and the whole place is empty." Tayla answered. "That is strange." Kityee comments. "So, I guess we sit down and wait," says Katyee. "That sounds like a great idea Katyee," says Tayla. It took Willow about five minutes to get tired of waiting. "I have the mic, I think we should just go ahead and start, it is not like we need them to play we know what we are doing." Kityee and Katyee look at each other and Katyee says, "That is ok with us." "Willow, throw me Tiernan's mic and I will help you comment if we need to." Katyee asks. "We should not throw these mic's", Willow said, and Tayla picked it up and handed it to Kityee so Katyee could play. "Thank you Tayla says Kityee. "Thank you," said Katyee. "We can have fun with these." The twins sat down and played the first two levels, "This is great", said Katyee, "I like not having anyone standing over me." "Me too," said Willow, "I am not a big fan of being around a lot of people with my bipolar, but it is easier tonight." In comes Tiernan, "Sorry I am late, my driver slid the car on a patch of ice and put it on its side in a snowbank. "Were you hurt in that accident?" Willow questions, "No we were both fine we were not going very fast, but it was scary for a little bit though. "I do not see Maeve and Syssa where are they?" "No idea," says Tayla, "We have not seen them yet." "Maybe I had better call Syssa and check on her." Tiernan says. Just then Syssa staggerd in, "Sorry, I left early but when I got to the ice-cream shop they had run out of ice-cream and they had to fill their machine." Syssa says, "I thought that you girls would love a treat. Since I did not know what you liked I got root beer floats all around." Kityee says, "Katyee and I love root beer floats, thank you for thinking of us." "You are welcome it has been a long tournament. Maeve got the door for me but went back for something she will be here in a few." Syssa said. Kityee says, "Maeve, you are all sparkly to night, even your earrings sparkle. I love it." "Thank you, it is fun to dress up once in a while at least. I love to sparkle." Maeve says. In the 7th level Tayla earned the high score in Tiles filled with 971 and the level score of 7620. Those will be hard to beat. Kityee calls out, "Good job Tayla." "Thanks Kityee." Tiernan changed the sign to reflect Tayla's victories. and decides to wait at the sign to see what happens in level eight. Katyee asks, "Syssa, who is in the lead now with all these new top scores?" "I am not sure I should tell you, so let us just play level eight and see who is in the lead at the end." At the end of level eight Syssa announces that the leaders at this point are Kityee and Katyee with 383,180 and Willow and Tayla are right there with 381,900. It is still anybody's game. All of the twins stand up and start cheering, Kityee and Katyee because they still have the lead and Tayla because she and Willow are still in the game. Tiernan tried to get interviews from the leaders, but they were cheering so hard he gave up. Willow grabs the other mic and comes over to lend him a hand. She has no better luck than he had. The twins are too excited to stop cheering and talk. So, they end the night with a great celebration.
Hello again, we are doing the 5th installment of our eight-day tournament. The levels are getting harder and faster, but the twins appear up to the challenge. Shall we see what happens tonight. "Tiernan are you eating again, we just ate?" Syssa asks. Tiernan smiles and says, "I thought that was just a snack." Both girls laughed. They have all been enjoying this time together. "Ahh, now that was a good meal. That should keep me going through the tournament." Tiernan said as he stretched. "I think that would keep you all night Tiernan." says Maeve, "Not a chance," Tiernan answered. "I will have to have dessert when this is over." "Looks like it is time to set up, where do you girls want these?" Tiernan asks. "On the table like normal" Syssa answers. "I can do that." Tiernan said as he moves to put them on the table. "Gee Syssa, your mic is running around without you again." Tiernan expresses. "That stupid mic, I will be glad when this is over." Syssa laughs. "Hey, Kityee and Katyee, it is good to see you again tonight. Ok, how do we tell you two a part this evening? Or is it something invisible again like your earrings?" Tiernan asks, Kityee says, "No it is in plain sight, but you have to find it yourself." Willow is and Tayla arrive and quickly takes their seats. "Oh, Kityee, I love the ankle bracelet. That is adorable." Willow calls out. Tiernan asks, "Willow, how did you find that so fast. I could not find it." "It is a girls thing Tiernan." laughs Willow. Tiernan went over to Kityee and Katyee and asked the a question. "Do you girls like the board showing the record scores of the game?" "I think it is great," Katyee said. "That is because your name is on it Katyee." Kityee stated. Syssa came over to Willow and Tayla and asked, "Do you feel good about the game tonight? Are you anxious to keep your lead?" "We are just here to have fun, so if the girls take the lead we will be happy for them." Willow says. "But we will work hard at keeping our lead as well." Tayla chipped in. "This game is moving fast, last round Willow set a new record of 18 for the longest chain in the level. And before I could even change the board she set a new record of 20." Tiernan announced. Tiernan groans, "And the board needs changed again, Kityee just got the highest level scores in both Tiles filled at 631 tiles and at the level score of 5080." Tiernan sits down one more time to change the board, while the girls continue their game. "If this board keeps changing so fast, I am going to sit here all night." As Tiernan starts to get up Syssa makes another announcement. "Kityee just topped her high score from last level of 5058 to 5195, Change that score again." Tiernan lays back laughing "this is too much. What a night." Syssa calls out, "Well you get to change it again Tiernan, Katyee has the new high to beat for level score of 5665." The round is over and Kityee and Katyee are celebrating taking the lead. Tiernan finally got the last change of the night on the board. Syssa tries to make an announcement about the end of the round but there is too much noise so she just gave up. Once everyone had left and clean up was done. Tiernan insisted he was hungry and wanted dessert now. When the girls saw his banana split and root beer float, they decided to sit with him and have ice-cream too. Maeve gave him a quizzical look and said, "How can you eat that much after all the dinner you ate?" "It is a guy thing." Tiernan added.
