Family Zoo Day

Anthony just occasionally takes off a day and we call it a family day!  If the day is in the summer it can be any day and if it is during the school year it can be a Friday!  Family Friday's are the best!

The OKC Zoo was perfect this day!

 I wouldn't trade a day with my family for anything in the world!  They make up my best memories! These three and their Dad!  (And other family members of course!)

Enjoying One Last Swim to End this AMAZING Summer!

We had an amazing and wonderful summer filled with a whole lot of friends and a whole lot of fun!  We just had to take one more swim before we called the swimming season known as summer over!  

Definitely the Cutest Yellow Belts Around!

Oh my goodness I so LOVE LOVE these karate kids! 

This may not be the most amazingly posed picture however it is a glimpse into my life! My kids can accomplish whatever they set their minds to. . .my girls will do it quickly and quietly and my son will bring his silliness and fun to just about anything.

Friends From Louisiana

We had some great friends from Louisiana come visit us this summer!  Jonathan is a great music buddy of Anthony's.  It was a very great weekend with a lot of laughs and wonderful wonderful memories!  

We went swimming a few times and made a trip to the zoo!  We also hung out at the house a whole lot and just laughed and played with the kids.  

Here are some pictures from our trip to the zoo.  

Kids First Belt Test

My kids amaze me everyday!  I love how hard they work, how dedicated they are and how much heart they put into everything they do!  I am so thankful that they have good Christian influences in their lives each and everyday through church, family and karate!  God is so good to us and our family is so very blessed to be right were we are surrounded by those who love us and love God.

That said they rocked their first test!

Praying before the start of class!

Ready to demonstrate basic one steps!

Demonstrating body grabs!

Caden's favorite is sparing! 

The girls do not hate it thankfully!
