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! :)

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.
