My little Karate Kid

Even though it's actually Taekwondo, not Karate... Nevertheless, it's something Owen's been doing for a bit now and that he absolutely loves. And so do I. He doesn't only get some exercise, but he has become a lot more confident. He learns the tenets of Taekwondo – courtesy, integrity, perseverance, etc. It's so cute to watch this group of 5 year olds say their tenets, and what each of them mean. Not to mention, do their complicated patterns, and that jump kick! Mr. Perry, his instructor, and his son (also Mr. Perry) keep the class fun too, so I have to admit, it's pretty entertaining for us parents (and little 1 year old siblings) to watch.

I saw these coupons at class the other day, so I thought I would share. It's a really good deal if you want to give this class a shot. Oh, and Mr. Perry will also allow new students to come in and try out the class for free one time. That way you can make sure your kid is into it before signing him/her up.

Kindergarten Inspiration

Just providing some inspiration for the local architects...

I don't think I could drop of my children in that treehouse school though. I would want to stay there with them.

Week Two Photo Class

So that's it! I'm all done with my Babies, Toddlers, and Kids Online Mini Course from Nicole's Classes. Here are the pictures I took last weekend while we were in Celebration. By the way, I should mention, non of the pictures I've posted for this class have been edited at all. Mainly because I don't know how to do that. My settings are all manual, but I don't know what I'm doing there either, so I just guess. In spite of all that, I had a lot of fun taking these. I feel like I learned something and was able to get a few nice pictures of my boys — my ultimate goal.
