Hey everyone!

Holland, Michigan

Hey everybody! Sorry about how long it's been since my
last post...


When we were at the beach in Michigan, Jeff found some sand dunes that we
could jump off of. It was pretty fun!

Mom & Tom went back down to the beach to get these pics of the sunset. It looks amazing.

That night we got ice cream at a place called Coldstone Creamery. I got the biggest

one they had and I pretty much regretted that decision.

Ethan's buried in the sand here. We tried to have him put on the
snorkling gear to breath, but it didn't last long!

Ethan and I, enjoying some lake time. At one point Jeff & me went out to where it was at least 11 feet deep. It made me nervous trying to swim back because I already used all my strength on the way out...

Levi went around taking pics of everyone. ( notice me drinking out of the sippy cup)

More Levi...

Jose (a guy from my Dad's work) helped us clean up after another big tree fell.
This tree is our next victim!

This is a set I rebuilt that was my Dad's from before I was born. Can you see the Star Wars figures I threw in?

~Hey everyone! I'll try to post again sooner next time! Ethan, Mel, Levi, & I have been doing soccer for the past 3 weeks. E & me weren't going to play but our coach did't have enough players and somehow our break from this season isn't going to happen! On Tuesday us 3 boys spent the night at our uncle Tom's house. We watched the Three Stooges and the first X-men. In my next post I'll post about some other things that are going on with us. It just took all my strength to upload the pictures though! Thanks everyone!

Ethan was going so fast on this he almost bashed his head
on the front...

Melanie & me go karting at Rascal's Fun Zone!

On Wednesday night we went out and

after we were done here we went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack

with our friend Jeff who had just gotten home from Oregon...

Nora & Molly tearin up the swingset with my help!

Our newest lego creation... This is the queen's garden in
the castle.

These knights are seiging the castle!

When we're done with this we're going to combine

the armies for one big army!

I put the camera down in the castle for this one...
When I saw it I thought it was so awesome!


Lastnight we had our cousin Piper spend the night after we went to the park with them.
Tommorow Melanie has her first soccer practice... Afterwards our uncle Tom is taking us to
the Musuem of Art to see the Egyptian exhibit! I still have to finish Illinois part 2 and Luke
tagged me to do a me-me... Come back and I'll try to have done those.
Thanks everyone!

Illinois : part 1

Dad holding Molly while she eats Levi's shoe!
And me jumping on a tube in the background...

Me holding Molly on the stairs

and Mollys trying to squirm out and

fall on the piano.

On Sunday after church we went to Illinios to have a party for my Grandma's 60th birthday! We went to Monicals pizza and it was great! After we were done there we went back to their house and swam for a while and after we had cake & icecream... That night when we got home I was was dead tired at 10:30 p.m. I will post about this later, it's just blogger has been going very slowly... Thanks everyone!

Will

This is me right before we went into the theatre
to see Batman The Dark Knight in Imax,
It was AWESOME!!!

This is a mini terracotta soldier Tom got for

me at the Getty museum in California,

Ethan got one too.

This is the locust tree in our yard that my Dad cut into,

the wind blew it down during a storm a week ago. E, Melanie, & me have been

cleaning it up after a guy came down and cut it up last week...

And here's our amazing pool! It's awesome to have after

we work outside and get sweaty...

The past couple weeks I've been coaching soccer camp at Mount Pleasent Church. Two weeks ago I did coaching for first grade through fifth, and last week I did 3 days of ages three through six... I'd say it was alot easier with 1st - 5th grade just because they understood what was going on better. I will definitly do it next year... The pool has been great to jump into after working outside. The tree that fell has been pretty tough work, so far I've hurt myself 5 times. I will post again later about whats been going on with us.

Thanks everyone!

Our Weekend

Here's a picture of our Lego version of
Robin Hood's forest. On the sides are the
outlaw's campsites and on the end is their forest village.
Ethan will be posting about this later also...

The top side is Robin Hood's group of men area,

and the other is Will o' the Green's hideout.

The yellow building is the little town church...

Mom was walking around taking pictures

of everyone at Molly's party!

On Friday morning Mom went to Edinburgh with Grandma, Aunt Becky, Nora, Mel, and Molly. So Levi and I
got up and watched PBS kids while I built the Lego place. That evening family came down for
Molly's 1st b-day party! Afterwards we went downtown to Starbucks and watched the fireworks
with our friends the Koch's. On Saturday we went to see Iron Man. It was pretty awesome!
Our uncle Tom, Mr. Russell and his son Collin came with us.That night we had the Bandy's over for dinner. Yesterday after church we came home and all 6 of us (Molly was sleeping) played in the pool, with the beach ball sent to us from our cousins Tory, Linda and David ! That was how we spent our 3 day weekend!
Thanks Everyone!

Pictures from the start of May to now...

Yikes!!! Mel took this picture of Jeff with Mom's new camera...




Tom, Dad, and E at Tom & Dad's birthday party this year.





This is a picture of our Roman city from above...

Here I am when we got home from our trip to Michigan,

We were checkin' out our damage from the weekend rain.

Lately we haven't been up to anything to exciting, except for science, legos, guitar,
and swimming in our refreshing pool. This morning I was sitting at my desk ,and I looked over and saw the lizard come out of her hut and then jump off her platform and land right next to the side, then she just stared at me. It was pretty weird. Then she started drinking her water with her tongue
like a dog. She is funny to watch. Today we have some work to do outside and I'm kind of dreading it because it's so humid, but at least we have the pool.:) I'm going to let Melanie post now , Thanks for coming back everyone!

Will

We can't think of a title

Thanks for coming back to our blog...sorry for the delay!





This is Levi at his last game.

One of the fun spectacles from our trip to W. Lafayette was visiting the train station...it's neat to watch the trains speed by.

Ethan showing us how agile he is...that is me, Will, right behind him. I hope he doesn't toot.

This is most of our family that went to W. Lafayette on Memorial Day weekend. Our mom, Aunt Beck, Gma and Gpa, or Uncle Tom aren't in this picture. This fountain was right outside of our hotel.




crrrrraaaaaazzzzaaay Becky



Mom actually caught a picture of my sweet soccer moves. We couldn't find any pics of E. playing soccer so I guess that means our mom doesn't really like him... that much.

It has been a while since we last posted but here we are! It's been a busy month, with trips to Michigan, a trip to West Lafayette, IN, the ending of soccer, school and our science group starting up, swimming, etc.

Recently, we got our pool deck up and running. It's not fully done. I will try to put some pictures of it on here later. You can also check out my mom's blog and I know she has put some on there.

We are starting our third Super Dude book right now. It's called "Super Dude, the Third, Invasion on Earth"!!!!! You will have to read the first two though. We will try to post again soon.

Thank you for checking out our blog. See ya later or something like that. Yup.

Soccer and Pool fun

This is us and our cousin Piper in our freezing cold pool on Saturday.

Ethan is posing as a dramatic goalie, we call the picture "Rapid Fire".

This is a picture of me that my Uncle Tom took one Saturday after Mel`s game.


Here is Levi after his game a couple weeks ago.

On Saturday we went to Mel's game at 9:00, then Levi had his game at 9:45. Melanie's team

lost 1 to 0 but their team has definitely improved. When Levi plays we start to lose track of

the score, he has been getting faster but we are still going to have to work on ball control...

Last week we got our liner set up for the pool, but it is going to be while until we have

everything ready to go. On Saturday Ethan and I tied our game 2 to 2. I (Will) think I am

going to see a chiropractor for my back this week. Yesterday we worked on extending the

wall on the side of our house. Last night, me (Will) and Mel went to work with my Dad and Jeff until 12:00 a.m.

We will try to post again soon. Thanks for checkin' out our blog!

See ya, Will & E

Some pictures from the past but news from today.

2002: weren't we cute li'l kids?

Christmas 2002

at the canal

a sweet picture of Ethan

here we are playing "Littlest Pet Shop" with our sister.

Lately we have been up to soccer, we would put pics of that but Mom hasn`t taken any of E`s and my games. Tonight we have practice, but I (Will) won`t be playing because I hurt my back at our last game and I sat out for the second half:( Right now I feel so useless... These pictures were all from 3-6 years ago, Mom chose that last one when we weren`t looking! We would have posted sooner but if you read my Mom`s blog you`ll already have heard about the computer problem.
Ok, well I guess that is it for today...I'll try to come up with some interesting things to blog about later. See ya!

Will & E
