Comet's first snow

It started snowing tonight. The kids were excited. We were all excited to see how Comet would react since it would be his first experience in snow.

He doesn't mind as long as he is with his idol, Shasta!

Shasta wants to come in and warm up by the fire.

Shasta wants to give Mommy love.

Summer gives the puppy love, funny how she was sitting in his dog bed.

This is a cute picture of the two of them.

Don't worry Shasta, Summer is going to give you some love too!

I am thinking Shasta is willing to pass on some Summer lovin..lol

The beloved in door Winnie the Pooh tent finally completely broke. We had to get a new one. This one is a bit larger but the nice thing is it can be used outdoors as well.

Summer had fun playing in the tent. She wanted to try and sleep in it over night as well but didn't end up making it past 30 minutes.

Yellow Belt

Summer tested for her form and passed. She is now a panther. At the end of this two month segment if she passes she will move up to the advanced kinderkicks class.

Kayla passed her form and became a decided yellow belt!

Daddy, Mommy, and Alyssa passed too and we are all decided yellow belts!! Our next belt testing is the end of April.

Surprise, it's a boy

Today we got a new puppy. The kids all chose to name him Comet. He is a mini schnauzer. Mommy had been wanting a small lap dog but needed something on the hypoallergenic list. Daddy loved mini schnauzers and it just so happened they were the #1 dog for people with allergies. Everyone is so exited!

Our first taekwondo tournament

Today our whole family went to our first taekwondo tournament to compete. Mommy was the most nervous, loosing sleep and everything..lol. Mostly because she didn't want anyone looking at her, which of course, is the point since you win by being judged. Alyssa was pretty nervous too. We thought Summer was just going to be her normal bouncy, confident self but she surprised us. She was shy, quiet, and very nervous!

Check her out sitting with all the kinderkickers. Her group went first. I think there was close to 25 kids!

She competed against these two boys from other studio's.

She got third place. :-)

Next Alyssa and Kayla were called. They were both separated onto different mats to compete with their age level. I had to run back and forth to watch them. Meanwhile it was possible at any moment that Ed and I would be called to compete with our age brackets.

Alyssa won her first form match and had to compete again. She ended up taking 4th place in forms. There were 8 kids in her age bracket.

Kayla did really well on her form. I was actually surprised that boy won. He went super fast and his moves were a bit sloppy but hey, I am just a mom here, what do I know about judging?

This is Alyssa doing her one step's.

Here is Kayla doing her one steps.

Here is Alyssa getting her 4th place ribbon.

Alyssa was kind enough to try and take pictures and video's of me and Daddy when it was our turn. She had to run back and forth to both mats and she favored me so we don't have a lot of Daddy.
