Tae Kwon Do

Jack recently had a belt test in Tae Kwon Do, he did a great job and continues to love going. He had one of the hardest breaks for his test. He did a hop front snap kick, basically he jumped up from where he was standing and kicked the board. Here are some pictures from his test and his belt ceremony. Bryan was the great photographer during the test!

So focused at the belt ceremony.

So excited to get his new belt.

Old Man Jammies

These pajamas have been around since Jack and this was Reed's turn to have his picture taken in them, we call them the "old man jammies". These are my favorite pajamas and he looks so cute in them! At the bottom there is a video of him "talking", you'll notice his big burp at the end, that's why we ended the video!

More Florida...

Here are a few pictures from Florida.

Luke getting ready for a jump!

Florida Videos

To hear the videos you need to pause the music player.

Here are a few videos of the kids in the pool in Florida. The kids had fun being flipped by Wiley and Braeden's cousin Kyle. Luke did not want to be flipped so he wanted a video of himself doing a cannon ball.

Luke's cannon ball and Jack's dive (his dive kept improving throughout the week!)

Cole's back flip. Kyle's goal was to have Braeden and Cole do 2 rotations in the air since they were the easiest to throw.

Braeden's back flip, almost 2 full times around!

4th of July!!

We had a small cookout on the 4th with the Rice's and the Klvana's. The kids had fun swimming and doing sparkler's and watching the fireworks that Kevin bought. We also enjoyed a campfire complete with S'mores and a camp out in the backyard. Here are some pics from the day!

Henry enjoying a popsicle!

Bryan throwing Jack in the pool.

Luke wasn't too happy about his toss into the pool!

This kid is unstoppable!! Someone needs to remind him that he is only 2!! This is how he swims now all the time with his face in the water like he's 12 not 2!!!

Here is an action shot of the big boys jumping in, minus Braeden, he couldn't part with the gun!!

Luke with his sparkler, they all did pretty well, only a few minor finger burns and a little burnt hair on one child!!

My fire eating husband.

The boys enjoying our new bigger tent.

Even Reed enjoyed the camp out!!

Fun With Bubba!

I don't have many pictures from Bubba's visit last week but here are a few from the other day.

Bubba getting to know Reed.
Of course a wrestling match ( we have more and more of those around here!)

Cole getting ready......

.... there he goes!

The boys had a lot of fun, I'm sure Bubba was tired when he left!

Henry's Love For Food Continues!

Here are some pictures of Henry enjoying some watermelon and a peach. I was warned these would be messy but he had so much fun! I do however believe I should raise the rate on messy lunch days!!!

That is one happy boy!

That peach never stood a chance!! I think he really likes peaches though because he thinks they are balls, he kept trying to throw it and only succeeded at that once.
