Oct. 28, 2009 - RRRRRRRRRRRRRobin Hood!
Okay so here's what's goin' on. My family has recently gotten this series from Netflix. It's the BBC Robin Hood.
[l-r Robin Hood, Much[=^D], Little John, Will Scarlett and Allan A Dale]
I have only seen 5 of them [more just came today] so if any of y'all have seen any later than that and they aren't good than please tell me because I don't want to post anything that might be bad. Anyhoo! The first ones we have seen are AWESOME! They are the best Robin Hoods I have EVER seen and that's saying alot because I'm very picky about my Robin Hoods and I have seen alot. [so far my favorite was the Disney fox Robin because none of the guys really hit it.] One of my favorite things about these Robin Hoods is Marian!
I love her because she is...well.... She's not the China Doll type and that's awesome in my opinion. I'm all for girls staying at home and all that but I can't stand girls who will never do anything for themselves and faint all the time!
Another favorite character of mine is Much.
For those of you who have seen National Tresure, he is like the Riley of Robin Hood =^D
Much: [comes into dungeon [where Robin is being held] with a club, helmet and sheild] This is a rescue! *whispers* And we are undetected!
Guards: [yell from off-screen] Outlaws! In the dungeon!
Much:..[eyes widen] oh.
Much: [to Robin] I don't understand it. You are feeding people who hate you. I love you and I don't have food..... I've changed my mind. I don't love you. Now can I eat?
Another reason I watch Robin Hood, GUY OF GISBOURNE!
I think my second favorite Merryman [besides Much] would have to be Will Scarlet...
OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH! lol... Okay. so it's a tough pick between Much and Will =^D Will is the brainiack of the group. He's always thinking. He's also the heart of the group and.........
HE FIGHTS WITH AXES!!!!! =) In fact, I don't know why he's got a bow an arrow in that picture. There's a really cool shot of him goin' at the bad guys with two axes but I can't find a picture... [sorry Always ;-)]
And of course, last but not least... I love Robin Hood because of...
ROBIN HOOD!!! [DUH!] What kind of Robin Hood would it be without a likeable Robin Hood!? Okay so I have to admit, there was a scene in the first episode that my admiration for him was about the level of a catapillar foot... But other than that.. he's cool.
haha! Look who's tryin' to be The Last Sin Eater!
Okay here are some random pictures! Hope you enjoyed my little... thing!
There's Will thinking again!
OH! I forgot the Sheriff! [He is NOT a reason to like the show!]
LITTLE JOHN!!!! [Another reason to like the show!]
*chuckle* Fare thee well!

Sep. 22, 2009 - Hi =^D
Hello to me faithful readerS! How be ye all?
Well.. I'm trying to think of some stuff that I have done since my last post. Besides school. Lately I have been doing NOTHING but school... so... there's nothing to post about really! lol
We did go to Montpelier recently. That's the home of James Madison the 4th president of the United States. It's about 3 hours from where I live. Wanna know an interesting little tidbit? It takes just about that long to read the Constitution of the United States all the way through including all 25 amendments. Liars.. They say it would take approximately 23 minutes. HA! They never heard the Yavanenskis do it! *gasps because at the computer for saying 'Yavanenski' is spelled wrong* So anyway, my mom made me read the whole thing OUT LOUD and made me stop after every paragraph so that she could explain what it meant. After she explained it I still didn't understand it. So after I had finished that we were there. We got to go throught a tour of his house [which for the size of his house on the outside, has VERY small rooms that would NOT do for dancing as they said they were used for. Did that make any sense to anyone besides me who know what I was saying?! =^D] Just a little FYI, James Madison has a stinking taste in art. [You'll know what I mean if you've ever been there and seen some of his pictures] Anyway, so we went through his house and then there was a ceremony where we got to hear the marine band and Lynne Cheny speak. It was pretty cool. After that, we went to see where James and Dolly Madison were burried. Graveyards are NOT spooky! They are inspriational and that's the truth! For me anyway... but don't go by me... I broke a shoelace this morning... haha not really but I'll take any chance I can get to quote Riley! *lawfs Riles* Anyway... well mom decides she wants to go to the slave graveyard... okay... no prob mom.... wellllll so it did turn out to be a problem.... My mother has this thing.. she HAS to follow whoever is in frount of her. I don't know why but I CERTAINLY didn't inherit that! I HATE following people and I would MUCH rather make my own path. =) WAHOO! Anyhoo... Mom follow this family that was infrount of us into the woods... I would have LOVED a treck in the woods....except it didn't go anywhere. As it happened... the 'trail' that we were following dead-ended [haha that's not a word is it?] And there was no trail. Well.. instead of standing there like everyone else was doing, I started making my own trail [which was absoluetly GLORIOUS!!!] Yuck... my feet stink... [completely unrelated] so we finally got out of the woods....on the OTHER side of the house from where we wanted to be. Not to meation it was raining... Fun fun! So we got out and got n the car [finally!] *sings along with her music that is playing "EILEEN ALLANAH!!!! EILEEN ASTHORE!!! LIGHT OF MY SOUL!!!!"
As it turns out, that was not the end of our adventures. On the way home, mo looked at the gage and found the van overheated.... Oh! But I skiped something! We took a wrong turn on the way out of Montpelier [which BTW I think means 'Mount Pleasent'. Correct me if I am mistaken.] and went out the east gate instead of the west gate like we were supossed to. I was having SO much fun because, to me, getting lost is one of the stress reliefs of this world.... Apparently it's not to my mother.... she was about to go into cardiac arrest when I told her that we had gone right when we were supossed to left. [I had to map. MUAHAHAHA POWER! =)] We got to see that nice little town of Orange... I suggested we just go on and see where it came out.... I guess mom didn't really want to go to California... But we did go to Scotland . Haha I thought I'd REALLY gotten us lost when I saw "Glasgow" on the sign! Thankfully it was actually in Virginia. =) Anyway... so I did get us going right... BUT! on the way home, we got stuck in heavy traffic because of a acident or something, and the van overheated. All the water we had in the car was a tiny widdle bottle [BTW those those things are just about the cutest ever!] . That shows you how healthy we are, we have a case of Dr. Pepper in the back of the van but no water! lol FYI, we drank all the water for lunch! :-P =) So we got stuck beside the road for a long time and only one person stopped to see if we needed any help... WE'RE IN TH' SOUTH PEOPLE!!!! =)
Anyway... I'm supoosed to be writing a report on Samuel Slater [awesome name huh? =)] *shhhh * don't tell Mom! lol :-) So I need to go..... I'll be in Williamsburg this weekend. Sooo YUP! TTFN!

Aug. 27, 2009 - A report and a tag frum DeKker [Don't ask me why the first K is capotalized. I wonder myself]
Hey guys! I wrote a report on homeschooling. Why? BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT!!!! No, I didn't have to but I was bored.... I know... I'm weird.. HEY I'M A HOMESCHOOLER! I CAN'T HELP IT IF I LAWF TO LEARN!!!!
Many times I have been asked "Where do you go to school?" When I simply reply, "I'm homeschooled." Most are excited, ask if I enjoy it and tell me of some experience they have had with homeschoolers.
Some are suspicious and ask questions, wondering if I'm in some sort of cult. Some of the questions include things like, "Do you learn everything you need to?" , "Do you get to socialize?" and even occasionally "Do you have any friends?" and "Will you have enough education to go to college?"
I am here to answer these questions!
As for learning what I need, in my 14 years, I have traveled all over the United States, I have learned how to cool, clean, sew and grow a garden. I have learned to run a farm and a family. I have learned to cope with the death of loved ones and pets. I have learned to comfort those that need it most and listen when no one else will. I have sung in nursing homes and to veterans, in churches and in front of Mount Rushmore. I have learned to get out of my comfort zone and be a friend to those whom I normally wouldn't want to be around. I volunteer with Hospice. I can have a conversation with anyone, no matter their age. I babysit children and help young mothers. I have been able to help people in a way that would not have been possible if I had been enrolled in a public school. In my opinion, learning these things goes far beyond Algebra and Biology. [Isn't that right Mom?] Still, I am learning Math, Science, Debate, Philosophy, Government studies, Literature, History and Anatomy. If I have a question, my motehr, father or one of my siblings is there to answer it. If none of them know the answer, we go together and find it. I can learn whatever I want, whenever I want. Living on a farm, I have endless sorces of visual aids that help me comprehend and enjoy learning at a much greater level than just reading from a textbook. No, I have not learned all that I need to, but who has? I am still learning and I can't wait to see what lies ahead! If, at the end of my schooling, I don't know all that I need to know I won't know that I don't know what I need to know so I won't know that I need to know it!
Socialization. Everyone has different opinions of what this word means. I once met a man that believed socialization meant getting away from your parents and being with others your own age. I have a different view of socialization. As Noah Webster says, sociable means "Free to conversation; conversing much or familiarly" While the youth of today may converse much with those their own age, what about the elderly? Or their own parents for that matter? On a recent trip to Dollywood, I noticed the teenagers replying in one- or two-syllable answers while texting or talking on cell phones. Is that the kind of socialization that I need? Being homeschooled we have opportunity to converse with many people of different ages. At Mount Rushmore, my sisters and I had the pleasure of sining to a World War II vereran. So many people passed him by, not noticing. I will never foget the look of joy on his face as we sang "The Star Spangled Banner" to him. This happened during the "school year" when most children were in school. I would rather socialize with that man than the "normal" tenns my own age.
On the subject of friends. Yes, I do have friends, actually. Not only firends my own age, but I do not confine myself to thinking that all my firneds have to be in the same grade. I have friends in public school, I have friends that have graduated from homeschool, pravate school, Christian school and public school. I have friends that are family, friends across the ocean and friends across the country. I have firends that are 6 and friends that are 96. I have friends that I have never actually seen face-to-face [give youselves a pat on the back HSB peoples! You made it into Syd's report!]. Yes, I do have friends that are my own age, but were it not for homeschooling, I would never have met them. Many of the friends that are my age live outside of my "school district". If nt for homeschooling, I would not get to see them except in the Summer and even then, my friends that are in public school have sports and other activities that take up their time. Being homeschooled lets us be flexible to help others and learn in unexpected ways. For example, next month my family is planning a trip to Colinial Williamsburg. I have some friends that live near Williamsburg so we are all going together. It's a great way to have fun and learn at the same time.
As for going to college, my oldest sister is in her last year of nursing school. She was homeschooled her whole life. I know many homeschoolers who have gone through college and went above and beyond what was expected.
I truely believe homeschooling is the best way to learn and I never want to have it any other way!
Hope you enjoyed that.. Now for the tag.

Aug. 14, 2009 - A day at Dollywood
Hey guys!
Has anypne ever been to Dollywood? If you have please post me a comment to say what was your favorite ride.
I haven't been on all the rides yet so I don't know but so far my favorite is Mystery Mine. It's mostly dark and you can't see what's coming and it goes strait up and strait down and upside down and EVERY POSSIBLE AWESOME DIRECTION!!!!!!!! It is the most awesome ride I have ever been on! But I am gettin' ahead o' meself.
Thursday: We left home at approx. 3:30 pm arriving at our campground in Tennesse about 8:30pm. It wasn't that bad. We got here and bedded down.
Friday: We got up about 7:00 am [I think] and went to Gatlinburg. It's a quaint little town with lotsa shops and nice little places to eat. First thing [and most important] we stopped to eat! =) [Oh man! That face looks adorable in this font! =) =) =)] After I had an enormous meal of eggs, hash browns, gravy, bisquits and sausage, of which I had to eat all because we couln't take it with us and a Yavanenski NEVER wastes food! =) [ah me darlin' face! ~<[=) heehee he's got a fooney hat! Why is it a he?] Anyway... after that we went to more shops than I care to mention! One of which included the "Celtic Heritage Shop" I have three words to describe it. AWESOME EXPENSIVE AND TOTALLY KNARLY! Okay so that's four.... BUT WE'RE ALL HOMESCHOOLERS!!! lol Okay.... that was really weird.... ***For all those who don't know what knarly is, I think it's something my sister made up.. but if you know what it is then my sister didn't make it up.*** OKay so after we went to all those shops and all we went to our camper again and rested for a while. Then we took off for Dollywood because we found out that if you go after 3 and buy a ticket, you can use that ticket all the rest of that day and all the next day too! It's totally awesome. So we are going again tomorrow. Anyway... today we rode a boring widdle water ride that was really short and not worth the wait. Then we went to a big water that was awesome and totally worth the wait! It was really fast and you felt like you would tip over and you were flying at an increadable speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool. We went down that one twice. Then we went on a train ride. Don't tell me mather but that was toally not worth the wait either! I did NOT like that! We just rode up and rode down. The conducter was funny but.. not worth those horribly uncomfortable seats! Then came the fun part!!!!!! THe rollercoasters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *lawfs rollercoaters* The first one we went to was Mytery Mine. As I said before IT WAS THE BEST RIDE IN THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!! It starts out in complete darkness..... Then.... YOU DROP!!!!!!!!! 'Down down the rush the speed'!!!!!! [That was a Narnia quote to all those who are not familiar with the awesome series] I wanted to ride that one again but as usual the youngest was outruled by the magority of older fuddy-duddies! They liked Thunderhead... That was okay but for some reason ***DUCK TAPE FIXES EVERYTHING*** It FREAKED ME OUT!!!!!! I think it was because it didn't have the things that come down over my shoulders and I could see the track! In the Mine it was dark and I couldn't see what I was riding on which scared Poe and Arabella but I really liked it!!!!! They liked seeing where they were. Anyway! They we came back to home sweet camper and we are planning to watch "The Abduction Club" on YouTube tonight! FUNTIMES!!!!!!
Saturday: Dad is taking us back to Dollywood where we will ride all the rides that we didn't ge to today and I will ride the Mine A MILLION TIMES!!!! lol No... Dad made me promise I'd only do it two more times because it's not good for me..... I can deal with that.
Sunday: *Begins to sing* HOME! OH TAKE ME HOME!! HOME TO THE PEOPLE I LEFT BEHIND! HOME TO THE LOVE I KNOW I'LL FIND! OHO TAKE ME-E HOME!!!!!!!!!!

Aug. 7, 2009 - A tag from the long-lost little Syd
Hey guys! Did you forget who I was? I'm Sydnee. =^D
Here is a tag that a friend tagged me with. Here goes....
What two qualities do you want most in your future spouse (besides being a Christian)?
Of course he has to be a Christian! Other than that..... He has to like children and be able to provide well for a family. I could mention alot more. =^D
Is there a fictional character you see as a model for your future husband?
DEVIN O'TOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE!!!!!!!!!! hahaaha.... Slaytyr but he isn't fictional.... I dunno.... Devin I guess is the closest
Where do you want your wedding?
First Presbyterian Church. Or outside. I never could decide!
What are your views on courtship?
Well it depends on what you mean by courtship. I have noticed that some Christian's use courtship as another word for dating and I do not think that at all! But my views on courtship are NO-TOUCH first of all...well actually I think first would be he has to ask my father. That is the biggest thing. And have prayer in it ALOT! I no rash decisions! My parents and family will be involved alot too. Anyway....
What are your views on your first kiss?
Woe to the man who tries to kiss a Yavanenski girl before her wedding day!!!! The wrath of the family shall fall in torrents!
Do you have or want a purity ring/locket?
No but I think they are cool
Do you have or want a hope chest?
I have one that came over from Europe in the 17 or 1800s. Anyway... Yes I have one!
Will you wear a veil at your wedding?
Most likely
What kind of wedding dress do you want?
Somthing with SLEEVES!!!!! Even if I was allowed or wanted to wear a strapless I wouldn't because I"M SICK OF THEM!!!!!! EVERYONE wears them and they are hideously ugly!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway.... it will be long sleeves most likely because that is what I like and it has to be modest. AND WHITE! White is a symbal or purity and .... yeah......
What flowers do you want in your bouquet?
Something ivyish or somethig that hangs down in front. I like that... I just realized what a really weird tag this is!!!!!!
What do you want to name one of your daughters?
Sydnee!!!!!! lol Lydia, and I like abunch of others but for some reason I can't think of any of them.
What do you want to name one of your sons?
SLAYTYR EVAN!!!!! Or Evan Truth.
Do you believe in the 'knight-in-shining-armor' view of courtship?
I believe in waiting for the one 'knight-in-shining-armor' that God has for me. =) [Thanks for the answer Shi!]
What music do you want to play at your wedding?
I want to walk into 'Ah! so pure' and walk out to "St. Anne's Reel" and sing "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" somewhere in the middle! And my dad is singing 'I Loved her First' which is gonna make me sob!
Are you a hopeless romantic?
With God I am never 'hopeless' but *sigh*yes I do like romance... 
*SOBZ* I miss Shi an' Always!!!!!!!!!! I want them hereeeeee!!! NOWWW!!!!!!
I ALSO MISS LYNNIEEEEEEEE!!!! I WANT HER HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! AN' PIP!!!!! I don't want her here but I had to say her because she would be mad at me and you never know what Pip would do when she is mad!!! Haha I just wanted to see if she ever read zee poor widdle Bliss anymore! *hugs her lonely widdle blog*
I'm off to post a PipNSyd! And yes, I REALLY am going to do it!!!!!!
