some pictures from the three years ago.

The next three pictures are just a tiny bit from a play we did a few years ago...dont we look way young?
on Easter of 2005, Melanie, Will, Aunt Emilie and I put on a play
for our family...it was about Jesus' last week, from Palm Sunday to his Ascension...it was a lot of fun!

This is the part where Jesus is in the Garden praying and His disciples

couldn't even stay awake to pray with Him.

Here I am portraying Jesus on the Cross...

this picture was also three years ago but I wanted to show

you the mad playground skills that Will and I have. :)

This was also three years ago...way before Levi even thought of potty training...so he just wore his pot on his head. pretty funny, huh? he keeps us laughing.

We've been non-bloggers for a while. And here's why...we've been working with our dad on getting our upper porch finished. I would like to blog some of those pictures but it's late and mom said we can't upload anymore pics tonight. Our computer moves way too slowly...so we will try to get back on here in a day or two to blog those for you. You can see us in action!

Otherwise, lately, we've been busy with soccer, which we love. We have games all day on Saturday...I'm even playing as an extra on our coach's other team...so that is crazy busy. Levi plays now too, so that is four games a Saturday. We've also been busy with just the everyday life things like schooling, exercising, doing our chores around the house and running here and there with our mom. which makes us all crazy! :)

Well, that's it for now...check back soon. Good night!

Signing off, Ethan J. Y.

We're Here

yes, we need haircuts badly...maybe now that dad is home, we can get some
E. thinks he looks serious here....he's funny

I know it's been a long time since we posted on our blog. We have lots of great pix that we want to put up on here but our mom's computer is moving really turtle-y slow these days.

This past Friday night, E. and I went on a youth activity with our church youth group. We went up to a place called Laser Flash and it was quite interesting! We were up all night and pretty tired all the next day! It was fun though and we are glad we went. Our youth pastor, Seth, is a cool guy! He arranges some fun activities for the teens!

We had a really nice Easter...Mel, E. and I helped out with an egg hunt for Piper and Levi...we made sure to hide some eggs for our own hunt as well. it was a lot of fun.

Today, I (Will) went to the orthodontist and found out that I need to wear rubber bands for a bit longer then I will be able to get my braces off in about 3 weeks. Then, I will have to wear retainers for pretty much the rest of my life. Maybe I will post some pictures of my lovely teeth and orthodontial experience!

Ok, time for bed. We will try to get back on here sooner this time.

Our trip

In the first picture we were all swimming in our 1st hotel's pool. And in this picture I`m carrying Molly around the pool.
Keeping up with our workout program, even on the road
visit to the Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World. When we were here Ethan and I bought a $25 bow and arrow!!! Dad paid for most of it though.
Here we are at the Fantastic Caverns... That`s my head in the middle

The picture right above here is one that I took on our way home yesterday...it is in St. Louis and it's the world famous Arch. The picture right above this one is of us in our second hotel...the first one we stayed in was nice, new and clean but it was kinda far from where Dad was working and the rooms were tiny. Dad found this older hotel closer to his job that had two levels in it...a loft up the stairs that had a bathroom and big bed...it had a kitchen, living room area and another sleeping/dining area with another bathroom. I think this is the only sane way for our family to travel in the future. It was really cool! And no one HAD to sleep on the floor.

So that is our trip to Springfield, Missouri. We had such a good time with our Dad. It was sad to leave him yesterday. But he's coming home tonight, for the weekend! Have a good weekend!

This 'n' That

Molly's first time sitting up in the Target cart...that's me behind her with Levi.



Here's Melanie at the War Museum last year...the wax figures were kinda spooky.


Part of our Schleich animal collection...Mom got us our first ones for Christmas in 2005 and we've been adding to it since then...I already have my birthday list of new animals
planned out for this year and my birthday isn't till October.

a bit more of our collection...you have to see it in person...it's really neat!
This is Levi in his new bathrobe. cheesecake.
Here's fellow Brave Heart E cuddling with Molly. I'm not sure why the date on our camera says jan. 3, 2004 but it was yesterday.
This is a typical E. pose that makes all of us want to drop kick him.

I don't know what to write. This is the part of blogging that bugs me. Being wordy, because I'm not. That's E's job. He's the talker!

Yesterday we pretty much ran errands and spent the afternoon and evening at home. We all had teeth cleanings in the morning and I was the only one with a cavity...yikes. At home, we took care of our exercise, school work, guitar, bugging mom for MORE food and that's about it. Today is going to be more of the same stuff.

I know, this is a pretty exciting post...I will try to be more creative and come up with funny things we can blog about. Maybe I will put E. on the job...thanks for checking out our blog! Come back again really soon and have a great weekend.

Happy 30th Birthday, Aunt Becky!

Hanging out with Will in a badly striped outfit
Becky with brand new Ethan
We love our Aunt Becky!

Today we are celebrating our Aunt Becky`s 30th Birthday! We had a surprise Birthday party

for her on Saturday night. We are thankful for having Becky in our lives!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!!!

Super Dude

Here we are, the authors of Super Dude!!
This picture was graciously drawn by our cousin, Jason D. back in 2005. he is very talented.
This is one of our character pages, which we will show you more of them later.
This is one of the action pictures, where SD gets knocked into the sea during a fight.

Good evening!

Tonight we are going to tell you about our book. It's kinda like a comic book. We began the Super Dude idea about 6 years ago but officially began the actual book back in 2004. We've already finished our first edition and are now working on finishing our second edition. Ethan is the author of this book, dictating what to write, while Will does the illustrations and handwriting. (our mom is typing this since we had so much to say and she types faster...but we are sitting right here with her, telling her what to type, allright?) :)

We've included a few pictures from the past book and will eventually highlight each of our main characters here. But for tonight, this is just a taste of our book.

Just to update you on what's been going on...there are no pictures of the Wonderlab on here because our trip was cancelled due to weather. We ended up seeing the movie "Enchanted" though we really should not admit that, since it's a chick flick. We went with a group of our good friends! I didn't like it...too mushy (Ethan). I thought it was OK (Will).

Friday night, we had our youth pastor, Seth and his fiancee, Carrie, over! We had a good time with them. We had a Nerf gun fight (awesome), ate some grub and bonded with our lizard. I actually touched it (Will) after having the pet for over 3 years. Ethan is so brave and holds Liz every time she's out (he told me to type this, goof!) Seth chickened out on us and didn't hold the lizard...just kidding.

Mom's making us get off the computer now. Hope you enjoy reading this. Make sure to leave us a comment.

Random stuff

Here is a drawing I (Will) did...it's my version of the Fellowship of the Ring movie cover. This is our family, taken December 2007.
The guys in our family...2006

Lately, we haven't really had much going on, that's worth mentioning anyway (unless you count my siblings and I squabbling and making our mom want to "beat" us).

Did you see the Lunar Eclipse tonight? We tried to take a picture of it but it didn't work and my mom was spooking herself out on our porch...

Um, this past Saturday, E. and I had our last indoor soccer game. We won, 3-2...I even got to score the first goal for our game...next month, we start our outdoor soccer league and we always enjoy that!!

This Friday night, we are having our youth pastor, Seth, and his fiancee, Carrie (I'm pretty sure that is her name????)...we are really excited about that!

Tomorrow, a few homeschool friends and our family are heading down to the Wonderlab, which is in a town south of us...It's a museum of science and stuff. I'm sure we will have pictures to put on here tomorrow. So we will be back with that.

Gotta go...thanks for stopping by.

I need to go brush my teeth.

signing out, Dog Breath!!!!
