What we did this Spring

One thing we did this spring was our first karate tournament. The instructor doesn't charge for lessons he just asks that we give a $20 a family a month donation to help him pay the bills for the building but his lessons are free. He sells us the uniforms at cost and is real good with the kids. Millie does well at practice and is a deliberate striker but she didn't get a trophy this time. Which was ok with me but she was a little disappointed.
Jacob takes second place in his karate tournament . He won a couple of rounds.

Jacob enjoyed our Easter Egg hunt with friends.

This spring we had an Easter Egg hunt with friends out in the country.


For Jacqueline's 7th birthday her friend Brighton came over and we had a Easter Egg hunt at nana's backyard and then went to the movies to see "How to train your Dragon in 3D"
