Giant Snow Gorilla

So we (all of the hickey brothers) were temporarily reunited for this Christmas break, and though we did not intend to do anything for the blog we ended up sculpting a giant gorilla out of snow, and thought that it was blog-worthy. We hope you like our gorilla more than the neighbor kids as they added a mohawk and a large nose, then they turned it into a Buddha-looking Darth Vader:).

Beanie Baby Fight

Joe decided that we should document one of our epic beanie baby fights and beanie baby capture the flag. We had a guest star David Williams (our cousin). He did amazing :). We consider it was successful because no one lost an eye, nothing was broken, or was craying by the end of the battle. . . maybe because there were no girls. . . Just kidding Natalie and Caroline. We love you. Enjoy!

Pioneer trek

So our mom could not post this on her blog so we decided to see if it would work on ours. This is her text and video...

Last week I went on a pioneer trek with Josh, Natalie and Jake. It was a wonderful experience. It help us all gain a greater understanding of the faith and courage the pioneers had. I feel it also helped my teenagers realize that they could do hard things too and that even though they do not have to pull handcarts across the country, that they have strength and courage to face their own challenges and trials. Before going, we read stories about a couple of our own ancestor pioneers-William Lobark Skidmore and Leopold Wirthlin.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Thanks Dad for all that you do. We hope that you have a wonderful day today. We made a little movie for our blog for you today. We all love you.

Scary

So we decided today that we would videotape scaring other people. We only caught on tape about a fifth of the scarings (technical problems etc.) But by the end of the night we had the house in pandemonium (yes that is a word from Greek words). Everybody was dodgy and looking in every crook, crany, and closet door before going anywhere. It was a lot of fun, even though we didn't get some of the best scares up. Enjoy.

Commercials

Here are our commercials that we promised you a few weeks ago...I think it is appropriate to say quality over quantity in this specific situation - of which we have neither - which makes them so great! Enjoy!
