A few bikes = lots of cardio

Hey peeps! O hope all Ye Olde Fans are still with me. I'm getting pretty stingy with my blog posts arn't I. So why don't I start with the latest stuff and work my way back. Sound good? If not I don't care I am talking.

  Alright, well lately I've been researching this new artist named Cher Lloyd. We'll see if she's another Miley Cirus or Carly Rae. She sings the genre called Persian. Never heard of it before. It's like how Owl City sings Electrica and I've never heard of that either. So we'll see.

  Anyway! We've been doing some biking today (major cardio this day) and I dunno how many miles we went but my legs will be doing no sit ups. But we biked a very long way up hill and dale. Whatever a dale may be, we biked it. And ever since we got back mom gave us these sesemi snack thingys that taste like candy and are great but once you have 15 or them then they start to taste like... dry dust. Pleeeffffff *spits sesemi seeds across room* 

  (Tana says: "I say hi!") 

  Well a while back we had some cousins over and I never really posted about that. Well when all the younger generation of cousins are together then there insues a pecking order. First comes Parker then Clay then Bri#*(&$*&# and then me. I am just the butt of all the jokes made. This is really lame because even if I am right about something then I am still wrong because they can find a way to make what I said sound stupid. Or if everyone agrees that I am wrong, majority wins. So I have concluded that too many relatives on that side makes them all potheads. The adults are okay though. Uncle Eds kids are pretty interesting once they've had a few dixie cups of wine and a couple of dried mangos. 

  So once they left we got back to school but it was only a few days until the Hicks came. And that was all a lot of fun! I think I made Eric, Ian and Devin laugh so hard they almost died or regurgitated or something but they nearly passed out. It was funny just to watch them laugh! 

  While they were here they were looking for sea glass all over the beaches and I tell you this truly. Eric found 93 (or 97 I don't remember) peices in between 2 and 4 hours. It was pretty outrageous. But I've been keeping my eye out and there is a lot of that stuff around here! 

  So after they left it kinda went back to normal. Just the standard irrational dad and same old routine but I like it. We'll see if I can actually get a job this year.

First youtube video!

So I tried posting a video today, didn't work so here is the link to my very first youtube video. Mrs. Hicks when you read this, please don't fail to show all of your children. This is amazing! =D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCb0DPKiiU4&feature=player_embedded

So besides making this, I didn't do much. We had another dog attack. Cat seems to be fine. Mom got Topper shocked before Topper could do much damage. We hope. We'll see how things go. Anyway, enjoy!

(no subject)

Hey guys!

  We recently had a visit from my sister, Calysta, and her two kids. Marian joined us a bit later. She is so cute in her pregnancy! It's probably the most I've ever interacted with a pregnant lady. It's really odd... In my mind she's always been a teenager...
  And Caylsta's kids are always interesting. Tyler is becoming more like Cora all the time! And I made one mistake while Cora was here: Show her Super Smash Bros Melee. Aka: "The fighting game!" Once she knew there were princesses in it, ohhh boy. She called herself Cora Princess Peach Holland. Oh! Ad when Tyler would play he would always play and "DonkeyCONE!!" As Cora called it. I laughed myself to death doing that. =D They also loved Guy, Grandma and grandpa's poodle.
 
  So later today after everyone leaves, I'm gonna make some phone calls. Mostly for job references. Yes. I am filling out this application for a job at Radio Shack. This is pretty cool since it's within walking distance. It'll be great to have some steady money. Can't wait till I can give out my OWN phone number. Support my own phone bill. That'll be nice. =D I think...

  Well I can't think of much more. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Oh yeah, this IS the new laptop. We got it. It rocks. And school starts soon... And the new freaking headset dosen't work right...

The latest run down

Hey Readers

  So as some of you may have heard, I broke up with Savannah. Yes tragic I know. But it's a long thing to explain so I'll cut it out.
  So today I have been watching grandpa. The last time I watched him was when he called my nephew  Carson a "little rental". It was pretty funny.
  I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while. I guess I just kinda forgot about the blog. I don't really know what to write.
  I've been writing to a cousin of mine for about a year and recently in her last letter she gave me her email address. So we are talking as this is being written.
  Dad and mom are going back to Athol tomorrow to get the remaining stuff. Dad got back a few days ago with another trailer load. The house is no longer ours by next week. Kinda sad. It was a nice place. The weeds are now chest high now. The drive way is all carpeted with short shrubs and stuff. A squirrel is moving in. Dad's mad at it.
  The internet is progressing here. We've pretty much only got to get the people out to and get a plan then we've got it. Oh oh oh! Big news! So there's this laptop I wanna get. Its PERFECT! Reviewed my Mr. Holland himself! (Mr. Holland-brother-in-law.) Its an HP with a webcam and mic and is noted for graphics and audio. Its also got a CD burner and 500 GB of space! That's big. For me. It is $399.99 Interested? HP Laptop There. I talked to dad and showed him and he said "Mmm! Looks like a good laptop" and I think he was impressed. So I am gonna see if I can cut some sort of deal with him but mom says I should wait about a week. It'll be GREAT to get a new lappy! I would be able to play games I can't on my current one. The really new games.
  So if I were in real life to you then I'd blow your head off with talking about this game that is in the mail. Borderlands. It has 87 GAZILLION guns! Its super good. I have played it so I know all about this =) Gonna be awesome. Thanks for reading my humble blog. :)

"be happy. don't worry"

And after 2 months of no posts...

You get a post. Nothing great. Just a normal post.

  Hi ho fans and family. (friends falls under fans) Yes I have had a fine experience moving. You know all those movies they make about kids moving and then the kid is always yelling and shouting about his friends and stuff, and way over rated. Easy! You have internet. No a long distance relationship is not ideal. Buts its better then breaking up.

  Now to the links! This is the substitute for pictures. Links! This is a song that I just listened to recently. Its called "We Are Young"
This is by my favorite youtuber. Tobuscus! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WteF0j5gYGk

  So yesterday it was the first sunny day all week! =D Sliding around on wet grass is fun but not as fun as a sunny day and the beach. So we did a big thing on the beach yesterday and I took topper, my dog out and he ran around for hours. With the shock collar and all of course. Well after getting water and sand in the dial (which is for the setting of zapping him and how much voltage) it made it hard to turn. In fact I could only turn it with my teeth. So I plan on putting him away then cleaning this thing. So I take him up these rocks right? I turn and suddenly Toppers got the cat. She was hiding in the bushes or something and I didn't see her till he had her. So I drop the control and leap on his collar and for about 10 seconds we roll around in the bushes. Sounds funny right? Eventualy dad showed up and it was about that time that topper's collar broke. And I fell over on my back. I look up to see dad coming and the first thing that comes to me is relief. At the time I was not thinking of how much trouble I would get in but he was there to handle the situation. So after all that he chew's me out and calls me a fat head (which is his worst cuss word) he looks me over and says "Why are you all bloody?" I had rolled all over Topper, a thorn bush (many thorn bushes) and got a bit cut up by the buzz saw in toppers mouth. Also my hands are just recovering from being numb from the frigid water of Puget Sound and feel in mortal agony. And the result is this: Topper is under heavy guard and I am under heavy guilt because it was my carelessness and the cat hasn't showed up yet. (she ran off into the bushes) And everyone is harassing me about how much fault of mine it is. Dad's wonderful!
  And today. I am baby sitting grandpa which is super hard! I have to bake a freakin pizza and eat it with him! Then I have to sit somewhere and watch him take naps! So I just use the internet the entire time. SOOO hard! I wish I did this for a living =D

  Totally different subject. As most of you know, my sister, Susan Welch (Pronounced: WelCH not WelSH she really hates that when you say the SH) is here from Afghanistan. She made us some Afghan eggplant. First eggplant ever eaten. Its not great. It's kinda odd. But its okay =D Of course mom and dad thought there was nothing better in the world. Oh oh! And also! We found a video of Susan from 2nd grade! She is interviewed and wants to be on a clean-up crew! And also "If we are obedient then mom said we could go to our mom's moms house and go down to the beach" it was HILARIOUS! We were all in hysterics! The things our family says. And Brynna wanted to be a "momma pig" when she was younger. And me. I wanted to be Brittany Spears! Well on that note I will end this blog. Nice to blog again! =D

Mostly Guemus

Picture time comes first. Only because of how irritating it is to move pictures around. 

This is the Guemus ferry dock

A second ferry shot.

The ferry terminal

Me screaming as Brynna sits on my feet and takes pictures.

I told her to pose with a stick and this was the best I got! =D

A tanker.

The 'Guemus' as it is from the Guemus side.

This is a very freaky cliff. 

See above caption.

Now the good stuff! =D Carson and Buck. Carson didn't want his picture taken. It was the last day and Buck was like. "We gotta get pictures of Carson in Idaho!" so we went outside.

Irate Carson.

Irate Carson number 2

Carson with a snow ball. Cheery!

Flippin' out.

Throwing the snow ball! He looks happy enough don't he?

This was revativly good. Buck's smile is much better then his son's though.

And another try...

And another.

And another...

Falling! Tim-ber!

I know I know. My flash was bad.

Hate my smile in that picture.

Pointing fingers.

Theres a smile... Not a great picture though.

Reaching for Brynna or Buck or someone. Yeah I think it was Buck

Well that was good wasn't it? Well we leave back for Guemus on the 16th and don't expect to be back for a bit. Well sparring was good tonight! Sure a lot of sweat. I had the amazing honor to wear Shihan's Blue Belt! I had forgotten mine. But he lent me his old one. HUGE honor!
  Well I have some exelenct reading matirial this weeks! Three books! The Battle for Skandia! Its some sort of Viking guys who are trying to not get attacked by a kingdom or light calvery or as near as I can determine.
  Well it's been a good day. I think I really acomplished something. Boy Enya is sure a good singer. Try looking up Book of Days by Enya and you will find an excelent song. That and also Love Story Meets Vive La Vida by Jon Shmict and that's also a good one. =D Well I had better be off to bed. I love you Savannah.

Karate testing and other

Well this week is karate! I test for my blue belt Monday. Its my first test under Sensei Chris. He seems a lot more strict then Shihan. Its gonna be my toughest test yet since we are leaving. It's gonna be hard.

  Well Marian is here! :) She is talking about dad right now. Talking about pinching! How dad's pinch is so long and painful. She said that his pinch could twist more then a normal person's arm could go. Kind of interesting. And also about his pen's. We are watching a movie and dad come out of his room and goes "who stole my pens?!" of course we always steal dads pens. We just love to get dad on our case about his pens. They are so new and all... *rolls eyes * Well tomorrow is a big day! Sheesh its late! Not a long blog guys. Sorry.

A survey

Well my dear readers!

  I want you to post in the comments which you would like to see more of in my blog:

Mostly pictures
Mostly words
Healthy mix of both

Please tell me what you'd like most in my blog.

  And now for the fun stuff! I found the best youtube video ever. And it is called the LITERAL Mass Effect 3 Trailer And it's one of the best video's I've come across. You have to have a weird sense of humor to think this funny. I love this guy. He's really good. Okay I don't love him but he's good!

This is Napolian Dynamite style dancing.

  Well we had the masquerade Saturday and that was pretty good. Almost hit a guy for touching Savvy's waist. Came real close. Well then I danced some. I hear we made quite the impression. Since everyone was short (and even shorter dresses) we stood out :) All the guy wore jeans and un-tucked button up shirts and baseball caps. And the girls wore some thigh high dresses. Our little group was by far the most modest and well clothed. Got a good shot of an enemy of mine doing this weird dance in front of this guy I supposed was her boyfriend. All the slow dancing was Napolian Dynamite style dancing. So I didn't dance.

Well now its March!

Hey there folks!

  Its now March! I am now trying to force my unruly penmanship into accepting that. My pen (or mechanical pencil as it often is) always seems to want to write 1 in the space for the month on my school papers. I am stuck in January! There was probably less snow back then. We got a ton of snow as soon as we got home from Gandma's. It terrible.

  Today I was invited (by the love of my like. (somehow I don't think something as huge as "the love of my life should be in parentheses)) -Today I was invited -BY THE LOVE O' MY LIFE! =D tooooo... A masquerade Interesting huh? Or pretty cool :) So I am going to that tomorrow. Its gonna be a steamy time tomorrow night in that car. Okay probably not but I am gonna like it I know this much.

  Well today I went out in the snow with my buddy Ethan and be built a fire and mom had us burn a TON of paper. It was very strange. After we did this then I went over and made a footprint in the snow then lit a match in it then took a picture. It was kind of neat!

  Well I hate to say this but it will be a lot of fun to move over to the ocean. So much fun. All that fine sand and crabs... :) I shall love it! But I am saying this to drown out the bad part.

 I did fifty push-ups today! MY RECORD! Can you do fifty knuckle push-ups in one go? Didn't think so.

Here they are!

Well here are the pics! I hope you enjoy them! =D

Yes I know it's out of focus. Sorry about that.

This is Cora when she just woke up from her nap calling herself a "Beauty Kit"

Great job on the "eyeshadowmascara" there Cora!

I said "Smile!" and she sticks out her tongue. 

Second attempt at a smile.

Third...

Here is the beauty kit herself on the phone!

And dancing! 

Some sort of magical ranger comes to mind. And that is a princess jump rope she is wearing.

Not sure how this got in here but I am too lazy to take it out!

Duckman 1! 

Duckman 2!

All fresh from the shower!

Tyler, having a good smoke on my nerf bullet wile Brynna stands idly by.

He loves tea...

So there they are! A few other things...  Now all my nerf bullets look like they have been smoked and I also see that my camera needs some fine tuning for red eye. Also this is the story of the "beauty kit" (as near as I can determine) There was once a Max and Ruby show. Ruby and her friend got a beauty kit and did there nails and hair and all that good stuff. Well Max go into it and dyed his fur or got it dyed on purpose by his sister or something and now Cora thinks she's a beauty kit. Yep folks that real mascara and real lipstick. One day I will try to feature the video of her applying more!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of garlic juice

And I felt like it and that's why! We don't have all that much rum around okay?! Garlic juice is dad's favorite remedy!

  So this week we have done school. That's all. School and school. Well I guess we managed some karate in there somewhere. We have a tournament coming up. This Saturday in Moscow. Moscow Idaho for some of you who aren't smart enough to know we wouldn't go to Russia! Well yesterday we did practiced Katas (forms that look cool) for the tournament and I beat a black belt! True the kata he did he hadn't practiced in 4 months but still! Now for those of you who don't know, we have two thing to compete in at the tournament. We have kumite (sparring) and kata's. I am much better at kata's then anything else. Someone used me to sweep up the floor while practicing kumite. A girl! Younger then me! And I got thrown  on the floor! Of course he dad told her to (Shihan the head of the Association). But still. I am being constantly teased.

  Well some of you have seen my sister Calysta's blog! The Holland Exhibit Up at the top there is a photo gallery. Towards the end you will find pictures of her at our house. Including (Exclusive offer!) my first shave! (drum roll) We also have Cora! Wearing lipstick! Eventually I will get around to posting those pictures that I took. This is just a taste!

  Well I had better get to bed. The switch (for internet controlled by dad) probably won't be on much longer.

And the tears start flowing

Well 'The Move' is getting closer and closer. Its hard for all of us. Even our friends. It won't be happy to move. It will be sad. But it will make the moments we spend with those we love even greater.

  Well about today. Today I went to the Hicks! =D Mr. Hicks helped me with my resume! It was good help. Though he got quite irritated with the key bored and mouse on my laptop. After a while he straightened it out. Mine is a total of 2 pages! Whoohoo! Yay! :) Well its gonna be so so so SAD leaving my Savannah! I am gonna miss her oh so much :(

  We are having a karate tournament in Moscow soon! Moscow ID not Moscow Russia. I hope I do better then I did at camp. I didn't even place! I think we'll all do good. And I find out that we WILL be staying at the Nazarene Church (as they offered to all the karate kids who came for the tournament) Friday night. Things will be fun!

Ahhh family!

Well we have a sister here at our house! YAAAAYYY!!! Wait. I "YAAAAYYY-ed in my last post. Oh well. YAAAAAYYY!!! She's pretty funny. Wait I said things like this a few posts back. Well she's still funny! =D We are going to have a good time this week! AAAAAHHH! Cora and Tyler are so cute!
  I am going to start a book. No idea what I'll call it. Something' good though. Tech-ish. We shall see!
 Well I know this blog is short. I may blog again today. Maybe with the first section of my book! :)

-W

Update on the 23rd

Well this morning I am going off with mom to go clean a lady's house. No I won't be actually cleaning it but I will be shoveling snow. And sledding. It won't be bad. Its only three hours. Then I get back home and go to karate! WHOOOHOOO!!! That will be fun. Then we can do kata's! YAAAAYYY!!!! I love kata's. They are the easiest for me. Then there are character qualities. Those are a bit harder. Then there are also the combinations. Those are hard to.

  I have received a piece of news. (sisters and other, please comment a correction if I am wrong) My sister Susan, the one in Afghanistan, was in a suicide bombing (this is where a guy walks up with a bomb strapped to him and presses a button) She is fine, not a scratch on her. (I believe) Her FET mate has got shrapnel in her and I think she is getting a Purple Heart. Susan was standing in the middle of a circle of children three deep and giving them candy. She was about ten feet away from the bomber. Their linguist was standing outside of the circle and he was only 3 feet away and has now passed. War is a bloody thing.

The Wednesday Afternoon Post

So after I cried away the night, I slept. After I woke up the next morning we have been having a fairly good time. Besides having to leave pretty much everything and everyone and a potential wife and karate and 4-H, I am a bit excited to moving to the San Juan Isles. Once you get over all the endless con's there is something about moving. Even though you have already been there. Its my grand parents house. We are moving there to take care of them. Grandpa has Alzheimer so yeah. I will have a whole upstairs to myself along with a queen sized bed! :) No changes there. But its most probably squeaky. 

  Well last night we played Wits and Wagers! I won. :) I told Calysta (my sister) that I had good "vouches" and she laughed. She told me I reminded her of Cora (my niece (her daughter) because I would always be spouting off that sort of funny thing. Did you know that someone rode 19 miles in one hour on a UNICYCLE?! Basically each player has a tiny little white bored and two "meeples" (they look like a star) one big and one small. This is pretty much a bet. Then a question is read. Something like "How fast did the fastest airplane go?" or something like that. Then everyone writes down their answer (always in numbers) and turns their bored upside down on the table. Then they turn them over and then place their "meeples" They can place any bet on any card. Then after they do, someone reads the answer and whoever gets the closest, get a certain amount of point. That's it. Basically.  Kind of fun, with dad being the wall flower and score keeping and saying "ooohhh that's a good question!". He stopped when it asked what was the amount of exercise per day recommended by the government. It was pretty interesting! :) Good times good time. 

"these are the good ole days" 

  I hear that some of my relatives (the ones I am not well acquainted with) (most likely those people on my brother-in-law's side of the family) are reading this blog! :) I am most pleased to hear this. You should become a member! 

The great move

Well folks. I have great news! Actually I don't. Sorry to disappoint you. Well I am moving. That's right. Moving. 350 miles away. Guemus Island. I will be living there so that my mom may take care of my grand parents. I know it's the right thing to do and that God has provided a way, but I am leaving karate, Leadership, 4-H and a fantastic prospect of a wife. I cried for a while. I am informed I was not the only one. I got a perverted sense of love out of those tears. But I do feel very loved. *watery smile*
  Besides all this I have this feeling of excitement. I am going somewhere new! With high speed internet! An island! But then again it's Washington. As my cousin Clay would say, "it washes, in tons!" I will have to bring all my ropes and hammocks and all my friends. Though I doubt I will be able to cram them all in. I NEED PEOPLE! :'( I am sad to go. I love the monotony of my life. Life was good. Still is I guess. I dunno. Its all terrible. Though I am impressed. People wrote in their diary and I am recently informed the page the warped. My heart is rather broken and torn and has some gaps in it. Nobody should look at my heart. Its not pretty.
  Oh well. Things always work out.

This week

This week has been okay except for Tuesday. Tuesday was bad from the time I hit my hand with a butter knife trying to crack open my egg. Tuesday wasn't nice to me. Well there hasn't been much to blog on so I will resurrect old pictures because I want something to caption.
Today it's me jumping.

This is me landing. Or pretending to land. Cooley.

Brynna said I wasn't jumping high enough. I jumped high. :D

These four aren't the only pictures we took. We took a ton. Like 30.  It's pretty hard to get good looking airborne shots! 

And finally, me jump/leap/crashing into somebody with a fake gun and trying to brain them.

Well that's pretty much the best and funnest ones.
-Wes

Update on the 6th

Today was a little scary. But I won't go into me getting myself almost killed.
  Tomorrow dad is taking me gun...looking? Not gun shopping. Anyway Saturday, me and dad are going to Cabela's and will hunt for a good 22. bolt action Longrifle. Some words and letters that mean sometime soon I will get my first rifle. A BB gun does not count! I can hardly wait! I wanna go out and shoot a squarl! However you spell that! :)
  So I have now become aware that my blog is being surveyed by certain parents of my person of interest. (aka Magpie (don't tease her to bad!)) Well I hope you find laughs and joy in my blog if not information and lies.
  So I don't have much to blog about today. I hope you have all had a good week and day and minute and second!

-Wesley J.  Bone

The new years party! (after)

This was the new year party. Some of it anyway. Ooohh! I can insert videos! let me try that. Phooy. Doesn't work. I was going to post a video of Tana putting in her contact lenses. Shucks. Well onto the new years news. 

So once I got their the first thing I saw was Mr. Hicks unshaven face. He had shaved he beard and he did sure look different. So then I am kind of sorting out my stuff and then Savvy and Tana came down stairs. This had an effect of my nerves even though I pretended to ignore them. Make-up and fake eyelashes. Then Mrs. Hicks came down stairs. The LLOONNNGGESSST eyelashes you have ever seen! And bright blue! You will see in the picture below. You know I will just go ahead and get on with the captions. 

So this is Devin and Katja dancing. Later after Devin saw this picture he made a terrible gesture with his finger at me. 

You may notice that there is a head behind that silver star. That would be me. After I "styled-ing" and set up my tripod to take the pic, the dumb star goes and takes off my head. I am kind of upset with the quality of this pic but oh well. 

This is Savannah painting the back of her dad's head. That white stuff was supposed to be fake hair. Someone please post about who he was! 

Mrs. Hicks with the longest eyelashes on earth. I had her pose for me to show mom. She agreed after she had a few glass of wine to "smooth rough edges". 

Me and my Magpie ^.^ All I was trying to do was to get some charcoal on face and Mrs. Hicks was like "Get together!" so you see it wasn't really my fault.

In my folder I have titled this "The beauty in the middle" but its not that great of a picture seeing as Aden (Katja's brother, the one on the extreme left) was doing something weird and Tana is looking annoyed and Katja is not even looking at the camera.

Devin making the terrible finger gesture after he saw the picture of him and Katja dancing. Kindly I have edited that part out. Way to go Devin! XD

So this was the new year party I went to. My legs still hurt...
