Sixteen minutes ago one year ago this day...

In exactly sixteen minutes one year ago my little baby brother Trahaearn was born.
He was an over due baby and I remember that day well. It was a bleak day (much the same as today) we had watched Tangled like we are doing so again and were in an agony of waiting. I had flicked through the RA series had been increasingly annyoed at the phone calls that kept coming which weren't from Dad and had just gotten permission to play a computer game on Braedon's computer when the phone rang.
That was also when I rushed down stairs It was Dad it had to be Dad. And it was Dad on the phone.
We tried to get so Kynan who was away at college could also hear Dad's announcement but he wasn't able to but we still waited until everyone was quiet and than Dad he started talking he said  we had a new baby brother. His name was Trahaearn Archer Wulfran (insert last name) that he had been born precisely at 3:00pm a Divine Mercy Baby, Mum was fine and we could go and see them at six o'clock.

Trahaearn a little while after being born 23rd of may 2011

Now, we place bets whenever Mum is expecting a baby wether it is a boy or a girl and most of us had thought that this new baby would be a girl on our official piece of paper. But I was pretty sure in the last few days before he was born he was a boy. Also none of us kids ever know what the baby is going to be called and Mum and Dad never tell us and always keep it a secret until Dad rings on the phone.
I didn't want to wait that long to see my baby brother but we did.
We got ready and than we all got into the cars and drove to the hospital.

Unlike last time Mum wasn't in her own room but in a large room which was curtained off into people's area's Mum was near the windows of the hospital and I remember seeing
Trahaearn asleep and Mum looked happy but tired. I asked Braedon the baby's name because I couldn't remember it and Braedon told me I always have trouble remembering the little baby's name in the first few days.

Trahaearn in April 2012. Isn't he cute?

We all got a turn to hold you Trahaearn and I remember holding you, seeing you asleep and you were so cute how I wasn't even looking at the camera but looking at you for the first camera. You were just so cute. Of course the inevitable leaving Mummy adn Trahaearn came round and out in the parking lot we said goodbye to Bernadette a dear friend of ours who had stayed the whole day with us.
And I feel asleep that night knowing that I had a new sibling to cherish and that we were no longer the 11 O kids but the 12 O kids.

Happy Birthday Trahaearn you are a special little man even though we aren't celebrating your birthday I am saying it "Happy Birthday"
Love your big, sister and on of your Godmothers,
Vellvin.
God Bless

People in Movies who irritate me.

Mrs. Olson

There aren't few episodes of the little house on the prairie where she isn't poking her nose into other peoples affairs or trying to prove that her children are the 'best in the whole school blah blah,' usally starting with the line 'My Nelly or my Willie'. You get the picture She's also a bit of a busy body and doesn't let Mr. Olseon discipline their children. I like the end of the episode after Mr. Olson has been away and she tries so hard to make a nice dinner for him. Most of the time she really irritates me but than there are those times where I feel sorry for her when Nelly is living in the city with Percival for instance and she feels heartbroken because of that  and how Mr. Olson tries to help her. So yeah, she's pretty irritating but she has her moments.

Armand St. Just (from the movie)

Armand's an idiot nuff'said. No, not enough said! I understand him the book but not in the movie. I mean Percy promise that he'd get Jeanne (yes, using the girls name from the book) out of Paris and than he has to come dashing back and seeing if she's alright even though he promised to do whatever Percy told him in matters of the League.
THe gets Percy caught because of his stupidity though, he doesn't seem so stupid in the book and I like him better but still, he can't compare with Percy. :)



Humpty-Dumpty

One word: Creep

We recently watched "Puss in Boots" and I found it very dissapointing compared to all the Shreck's (besides the fourth I hate that movie as well) Humpty totally was like 'Oh, my gosh I hate you you are such a crummy bad guy and you are an egg as well? Oh, pleaseeee. 

All this was about revenge on Puss? What a (yes, I'll use it again) crummy motive. He also gave me the creeps with the whole 'egg' thing and he was happy to destroy a town once again just to get the better of Puss. SERIOUSLY!

C3-PO 

C3-PO is a annoying character. I much prefer R2-D2 than C3-PO he is such wimp "We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life."  See what I mean?

when it comes to fighting and he's not that great at helping with anything including trying to fix R2 he's a worry wart and he ALWAYS blames R2 when things don't turn out the way he wants such as when he goes off alone by himself on Tatooine and he claims R2 tricked him. He likes to lame people when its suits him and he very much so annoys me.

One of the only smart things he does is say this line:"They're madmen! They're heading for the prison level! If you hurry, you might catch them!"to distract Stormtroopers 

For all of that he is always very polished at the end of any of the movie. (I think)

Darrin Stephens from bewitched it a very irritating person. I know yes, he's wife a witch but he seems to overreact. Like Mrs. Olson he has his moments however and he'll always be the actual 'Darrin' unlike Dick Sargent. Sorry, he's not THE Darrin and he probably can't do as well at overreacting either. :P 

Darrin seems al-right but he sometimes drives me up the wall with his GR kind of moments with "No witch-craft' and stuff like that. Also the fact that I find Samantha's Mother Endora really funny has something to do with bit as well. And the fact that I'm not that big on watching loads of episodes of Bewitched. 

Galadriel is a very boring character and a pretty irritating character as well. 

She hardly says anything and she's a goody-two shoes. Probably one of the reasons I really didn't like her was that she already appears at all in the movies and everyone thinks she's so great.

Her whole thing with 'Quest will claim his life" thing which you hear several times in the trivial pursuit got on my nerves as well.

We actually nick-named her 'Old croaky' because not really anyone in our family likes her.  

Elizabeth Swann in one word: irritating.

Lets examine shall we? You broke Norrington's heart you have a very irritating voice saying 'Jack Sparrow' we sometimes call her a parrot because that's what she sounds like. She becomes a pirate forgetting all about being a lady, drinks rum, pretends to like Jack, be's all civil to Norrigton when he's still trying to be a gentlemen and yeah, my big thing is that she really hurt Norrington and that's why he's a pirate mostly in my opinion and I could go on. 

Oscar from Shark Tale has no other name except idiot and liar.

He tells lies just so he can be popular? SERIOUSLY! Besides the fact that Shark tale is not an awesome movie I have a big problem with a character who just 'want to be popular so I'll just say I killed a shark blah blah" sort of thing. He wants to be cool. He doesn't care about his friends just about being cool and like I said before popular. He bets on things even though its the only money which he has which he was given and he doesn't care if he hurts his friends feelings. Bad move.

Haldir; probably the reason I don't like him is the same reason as Galadriel everyone seems to like him but let me ask you a question. What's he actually do?
He's in about three scenes tops in all the movies including the extended edition and he hardly speaks and another thing what makes him more interesting than Legolas? I know Legolas doesn't talk that much or is that interesting but Legolas is in MUCH more of the LOTR than Haldir. He gets killed in the battle at helms deep commanding the archers but you don't actually get to see what he's like on the inside he's just a plastic figure on screen to me. I admire people with depth to their characters and Haldir is not one of those guys. Plus, to me he looks stupid. :P But hey, that's my opinion.

Little John from BBC Robin Hood is a most (yes, most) irritating person.

He hardly speaks he's a disappointment to the classic Little John who's not suppose to be a "I don't talk very much 'cause I'm so boring." kind of guy. He is always in the background and he seriously looks a little grubby. I love pretty much everyone else from the TV. show except John I love Allan if anyone is wondering but John? Give me a break.

That's everyone for the moment but hey, I might do another post about other people that irritate me soon. :)

God Bless

We saw it!

This post was published on Monday but somehow or other it got mucked up and stopped being published thanks to my awesome Mum who fixed it it is fine now. :)

WARNING: This post will contain spoilers



We saw the Avengers yesterday at 4:00 pm in the afternoon. Eden, Rogan, Saxon, Mum and I went to see it. And to anyone wondering why  didn't post yesterday after we got back it is simple enough to explain: Other people had the computers also the fact that I have a bed-time. Anyway back to the story:
We arrived there at about 3:00 pm and walked very fast or more like we ran to the front doors of the cinema and walked inside and...there was a line up. Yes, that's right a line up I was starting to get a little 'ah they might be here for the Avengers too!' kind of thing and because the best seats are at the back of the cinema and we always tried to get them we tried to hurry as much as we could. we got two jumbo popcorn's and we had brought our own fizzy drink (or soda whichever you like) and some chips in bags.

We got a tickets and rushed up the stairs (yes, it was a day for rushing) and found that the cinema room for the Avengers wasn't even opened and that we were the first in line to it. ;)
We waited there until about fifteen minutes before the movie was about to start and then we were allowed in. We ran to out back seats (yes, ran AGAIN) because there was the biggest line-up of people there we had ever seen. And more people came later the cinema was packed! 
And than the movie started.

Loki, see what I mean? Just look at his eyes.

Loki was a little creepy (okay more than a little) but he was good as a bad guy he's not one of those bad guys who I'd say have really style like Barbossa from POTC or maybe it just was the fact that he didn't have very many cool/funny lines. His little 'magic wand' thingie was sort of like when he is controlling Hawkeye and the other guys it is sort of 'okay creepy and strange' sort of thing.

Hawkeye

Hawkeye. I'm pretty sure that this was the first movie from Marvel which had him in it, but hey, I might be wrong. I thought he was cool when he was fighting and I liked it how he told Thor to 'get in line' fro revenge on Loki but he didn't (I think) have real depth to him, conviction like Captain America has for an example or maybe it was just because he was under Loki's control until Black Widow hit him hard on the head literally. :)

Iron Man was better than I expected he had some really funny lines and yes, he was fine. He was the same kind of 'hero' I would call some of the other guys in the film, he just seems alright. After the movie Mum said he was much better in the avengers than in Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Did anyone else like he he flies in to help Captain America and he has his own music? I did.
The Hulk. He was fine as a human he seemed interesting and nice, but his transformation into the Hulk was a little strange and after that he wasn't as interesting.

Black Widow

Black Widow. She was pretty cool her fighting style was awesome and at the start where she says she's 'working' and than how Coulson is just waiting on the phone while she dispatches these guys was funny and cool all at the same time.

Coulson

Although Coulson isn't a super hero or anything I think he should go on this list anyway. It was so sad when he died in the Avengers *sniff* you really get to like him more in the Avengers and him being a big Captain America fan was nice as well.
And of course we should mention Nick Fury what'd I think of him? Well, he wasn't very main and well, frankly I didn't think he was awesome AT ALL. Nuff said.

Thor

Thor wasn't very main at all which I was very disappointed about he had an cool line but you know he takes a while to come in and than he runs away with Loki. It was nice to see that he still cared about Loki yes, that was nice and he was still as cool as ever with his hammer. I just wish he'd of had a little more screen time was all. :(

Captain America

Captain America. He was my favourite character from the Avengers by far. I think in his own movie you don't get much of a depth of him but in the Avengers you understand him and probably get to know him better. The only problem with him is his dorky helmet and that's it. I liked it how at the action near the end he was the one who was in charge he sent the other Avengers to do stuff and he tries to break conflict wherever including with Iron man and Thor fighting each other. I think my favourite quote was the one he said "There's only one God; and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that.




It went for over two and a half hours but it was worth it and I really wasn't paying much attention to  the time The Avengers was one of those movies that took your breath away made you feel like you were in the movie and kept you spell bound there were hardly any boring scenes and for a action movie it had a nice lot of good lines including the one above said by Captain America and....:


Thor: He's my brother
Natasha Romanoff: He killed 80 people in 2 days
Thor: ...He's adopted

Thor: Listen well, brother -
[Iron Man flies pass them both and snatches Thor]
Loki: [Leans close to where Thor was] I'm listening.

Steve Rogers: What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?
Loki: I'm not overly fond of what follows.

Thor: We on Asgard pretend that we are more advanced, but we, we come here battling like Bilchsteim.
Agent Phil Coulson: Like what?
Thor: The Bilchsteim, you know; huge, scaly, big antlers. You don't have those?
Agent Phil Coulson: Don't think so.



And now I must be off and by the way if your wondering what my absolute opinion of the Avengers is it takes one word to say it: AWESOME!!



God Bless

Trust in Him who loves you.

Sometimes in life we take certain things for granted. But the fact is things won't always be the same.
Two years ago my two biggest brothers Kynan and Braedon hadn't left home; Trahaearn wasn't born and I had just developed the idea of getting books for my birthday.
But the thing is two years later I'm here. I'm the fourth oldest at home though I'm the sixth oldest in all us kids.
I have learned to knit since then and have learned to be a bit more responsible and I am now in charge of one of the bedrooms in our house being the oldest in the room. I didn't expect last Christmas to be knitting five or so elephants for people for their Christmas presents, or anything that has happened in the last two years. I think I think about change more because of how different it has been these last two years with Kynan first not being here and than Braedon leaving this year to work in wagga.
Thing's change but then so do people but the thing is to treasure the moment, to not think or worry about tomorrow and not to grieve about yesterday enjoy the day you live right now. I think that is something that we all worry about, about tomorrow and what will happen the fact is, someone else is always there ready to help you through the change the differences the joys and the pains that whatever change brings you can be strong. That person is

Jesus, he is always there to help, to love you, to care for you, and to listen and guide you through the changes you will come across.
I think these thoughts are going on in my head because I have experienced a lot of change these past two years. Some points have been harder to accept than others but Jesus has always been there and that is all anyone really needs. Be thankful for everything no matter what it is. And trust in him!

Happy Feast Day St. Catherine.

Today is the feast of St. Catherine of Siena mine and my sister Autumn's patron saint.
I remember reading St. Catherine of Siena when I was eight or nine and being amazed at what she did.

This was the book about her that I read. Consequently it  was the smallest of our Saint books.

She saw saints in the sky which was way totally awesome. She was from a large family which is something we have in common though her family was bigger than mine but she was very inspiring and she told the pope to go back to Rome. Oh, yeah, and she had the stigmata which was invisible. She also became a Doctor of the church
Since I read St. Catherine of Siena I wanted her as my patron saint. And so on my Confirmation day I was confirmed and I became 'Vellvin Faine Catherine Agnes' a nice mouthful. :)
Happy Feast of St. Catherine everyone! And especially to my sister Autumn.
St. Catherine of Siena pray for us!

Entwined

This post has spoilers in it.


I got Entwined from the library a few days ago and I had to wait for Mum to preview it. She said I could read it. I started to read it on Wendsday morning but only read a small bit of it. I read more of it on Thursday and that night when Mum came up to say good night I asked her if she could stay with me while I went to sleep. You know why?
The book freaked me out.
But lets just start from the start and get to what scared me later alright?
Okay starting off, it is not as good as Princess of the Midnight Ball no, I didn't finish Entwined, no, that's right, I didn't. Entwined had a slower start and took a while to get into whereas Princess of the Midnight Ball was like first chapter Galen has the old woman give him the white and black wool. Oh, yeah that's probably what was so ah! None of the guys in Entwined beat Galen. None of them! Fairweller (not quite sure if I spelt his name right) I really liked and Lord Teddie but seriously Galen is like so cool.
Azalea is a caring sister. I acknowledge that and she was close to her sisters another plus, Clover and Bramble I really liked and it was funny the night Lord Bradford comes and everyone's pestering him.
The King I didn't like very much at the start but he grew on you because you got to hear and learn more about him.
One of the things I was like, oh that's stupid' was that the girls are like "Oh, look its a secret passage, lets go down it and see what's inside.' They didn't even take a long knife or anything did they? I would have if I had been them. Maybe a sword instead hmmm.
Now the scariness and creepiness well, they actually have a name, yes, a name.
Keeper. I myself like to call him Keeper the Creepy, rhymes too. He's a little strange at the start and than your like "OH MY FLIPPING HECK HE IS SO SCARY!" Like living on the top of the pavilion stealing the needle and the brooch being just so scary. I much prefer the bad guy from J. D. George's who isn't like so creepy. Than his demanding that they find the magical object and destroy it and than saying you can't come back if you don't find it" blah, blah, blah. I mean seriously? Who'd want to go dancing after that sort of thing I mean Keeper want to set himself free 'Alarm bells' ringing Azalea are really slow and than when she finds out he's D'Eathe mad guy who wants to set himself free so he can kill the general. (not knowing the killing part of course) but its just first they walk down the staircase,a and than there are all these people there than they all disappear then this guy says they can come back whenever they want and than things which they bring start going missing and than he wants to be set free? Also the part with Azalea's mother and Keeper was way to creep. More creepy than anything else this guys keeping souls and stuff (never found out if this was true).

So if it hadn't of had Keeper the Creeper so very creepy and sneaky (that rhymed) I would have finished it but after that I don't think so.
I got Mum to tell me the rest of the story and it sounded a little long winded but than some books are like that and I was glad that Mum told who ended up with who. And that's it. I would say that if I had been a bit older I would have looked at Entwined in a different light but at the moment I still think it's creepy.
And yes, a recommendation of age I think is appropriate for this book:
15 and up I'd say maybe 16 or up.

Sorry if this post is a little hard to deceiver but than that's how I wrote it. :)

Of Tags and Awards.

Recently I have been thining about making my blog award free and tag free.
My reasons are easy to explain if you'll follow me.
I am sure you kn ow that blogs go stages and seasons just as people do and while I have enjoyed tags and awards in the past I just feel that is not  where i am right now
And so ............
1. Although I love people tagging me and I am very happy when people do I find it tiring to answer questions over and over again even if they aren't actually the same questions.
2. I don't find writing the tags out in a post enjoyable. Sometimes they pop into my head and I realise that I really should go and do that blog post when I want to do another post.
3. Because the posts aren't actually my own originals they don't feel as special or fun to do.
4. I find it hard to tag people. I hate having to going an tell how-ever-many-bloggers I tag that they've been tagged.

Sometimes my reaction to doing a tag is like this.

5. I hate tags especially which say 'Tag this many people." I usually don't do that amount which they tell me but still it's annoying.

So those are my reasons. I am sorry if you have tagged me recently but I just don't feel like tags at all any more. Or awards. I might do an occasional tag if someone says anyone can do it sort of thing but thing but only if I want to.


God Bless

An awesome character.

NOTE: this post has a lot of rambling in it and are in an uncertain order of events so just read it, and if you can't work out what I'm saying read the storyline of Hornblower and you'll understand..maybe.
Recently we have been watching a TV show called "Horatio Hornblower".
I fist heard about it Hornblower from Nana over at 'by the way' you can find Nana's post on Hornblower here.
After having read the G.A. Henty book 'a Roving Comission' which tells the story of a young Midshipman, Hornblower like something which would be worth while to watch and the fact that I can't watch a  lot of older kids's movies (I can watch some though not a lot) and the fact that people don't make a lot of movies which I can watch is quite annoying.
Of course I had to wait until it came from the library (I hate waiting) but after that it was worth the wait.

After watching the sixth episode of Hornblower(called retribution) last night I was heartbroken.....my favourite character had died.
My favourite character was a guy called Archie Kennedy, it might seem strange that Horatio wasn't my favourite because he is the main character and I admit he isn't though he's pretty cool too but I have this thing ( I think with secondary characters, the people who aren't as main as main but are still there).

I really liked it that he and Horatio were best friends, and Archie had a sense of humour plus, his smile was so nice.
I felt sorry for Archie in the first episode, he had Mr. Simpson being so horrible to him, his nightmares and such though a little strange were so sad and than at the end of the episode he was gone and it was all Mr. Simpson's fault he was gone! I don't like Mr. Simsp
He came back in the third episode (called the Duchess and the Devil) which I was SO glad about! And than because we didn't have the fourth episode of Hornblower we watched the fifth and sixth (we watched two cause the fifth was a cliffhanger)  and than he got killed. :(
Archie is currently in the top of me heroes list (you could probably make that out by how I am going on)
He's jumping off the cliff was very cool as well.

Archie however is more than cool....

Archie

he's awesome. ;)

Tongue Twisters

Yesterday we were watching "Singing in the Rain "together while Mum, Dad and Trahaearn were out shopping for Corbyn's birthday. We got to the part where the guy is saying all the tongue twisters and fortunately with sub titles it is easier to work out what they are saying. Do you like saying tongue twisters? I do. My favourite tongue twister from singing in the rain was this one "

Sinful Caesar sipped his snifter,
seized his knees and sneezed."


This tongue twister isn't as hard to say but now try saying this one from singing in the rain

”Chester chooses chestnuts,
cheddar cheese with chewy chives.

He chews them and he chooses them.
He chooses them and he chews them. . .

. . .those chestnuts, cheddar cheese
and chives in cheery, charming chunks. ”

Now I'd find that really hard to say, what about you?
I googled 'tongue twisters" and I also found these nice tongue twisters. Learn them and than say them really fast ans see if you get mixed up.


"There was a fisherman named Fisher"
"who fished for some fish in a fissure."
"Till a fish with a grin,"
"pulled the fisherman in."
"Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher."



You have to say this one fast three times.

Wrist Watch
Wrist Watch
Wrist Watch...

Anyway I think that tongue twisters can be amusing and fun. And they are great to get people to say, and than to hear them say them fast is the best thing about them!


God Bless
