Ryan and his Yellow Belt!

Ryan has been doing Tae Kwon Do for a few months now and so far he likes it! On Friday he tested for his Yellow Belt which was a huge accomplishment for him! We are so proud!!!!! We were not able to make the big group test so we had to do a private test with Master Cho but honestly I think that was better for Ryan. He did awesome and it was quick. The parts of the test were counting to 5 in Korean, Yellow Belt Forms, Certain Kicks and punches and finally breaking the board. He was in shock that he broke that board! So proud of him!



Video of breaking the board and receiving his yellow belt from master cho.

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Another year of Dance in the books!

We are knee deep in summer camps and all the things that summer brings. One big thing is Katie's annual dance recital! This year she danced both nights which makes for a long weekend. On Friday night she did her Company routine, Land of Nod as well as participated in the Finale production which was awesome! She's always wanted to be in the Finale so this was a BIG deal! I helped back stage with some younger classes so I didn't get many pictures.


Saturday she did her Ballet and Tap routines (Jazz didn't have a routine this recital)as well as round two of Finale! She did AWESOME! I'm so proud!



And here is Katie with her teachers from this year, minus her Company teacher (we still have Nationals coming up in July!). She is so lucky to have such amazing teachers and assistants to learn the art of dance from and look up to.

First and Last Day of First Grade

Where does the time go?????

E-I-E-I OOPS!! A First Grade Play

Katie had her first grade play last week and it was super cute. I purchased the DVD so hopefully I'll be able to share it! For now here are some pictures of my Little Bo Peep. Her Grandma K made her hat, apron and bloomers. So special!

Happy Half Birthday to Katie!

Yesterday Katie had her half birthday! Can't believe we are on the downhill slope to 8. WOW!

Our Trip to Lost Pines!

In March we went to a place called Hyatt Lost Pines, outside of Austin, TX. I had heard wonderful things about it from many friends and new the kids would love it. It was amazing! We had so much fun with all the activitites the resort provided. I wish it would have been a little warmer so that we could enjoy the pools but the kids still managed get in some swimming. We also drove to Austin and saw the bats at the Congress Ave bridge...very neat!

Major Catching Up to Do!

Forgive me family for I have sinned. It has been over a month since my last blog post!!!! ACK! Life has been a little CRAZY lately.

Easter

Ryan stil didn't really want to participate in the whole egg dying thing. But I was able to grab a picture of him looking somewhat happy :)


He did however like the egg hunting ;)


Here are some snaps of Katie and her dance team at their Company's Prevue Show and after one of their competitions! They are so cute!



Katie has been very busy not only with dance but with Girl Scouts. This also means I've been very busy with Girl Scouts lol! They are doing a donation drive for the animal shelter so they had a meeting with the principal of the school to ask if they could go on the school's morning announcement TV and also set up the box in the office. I was so proud of them. In addition to that they also bridged from Daisies to Brownies. So proud of them!
