Look What I Can Do!

Our Kids have been making us laugh regularly! Arabella will find a kleenex, wipe or napkin and carry it around for 20 minutes playing with it and wiping her nose. It is quite funny to watch, as you will see.


We took the boys to a Black Belt Taekwondo competition the other night and Jon was amazed by the XMA (extreme) forms. He was trying to imitate them the rest of the night. This video is not his best example but it is still pretty funny!


Joey discovered a great trick on my exercise ball. He also figured out that he needs to have his shirt up to give him better "grip" on the ball.

IN OTHER NEWS

We signed the boys up for Taekwondo again and they are excited to be doing it again. Even Jon, has been happy to go to class and is participating and following rules better. We are at a brand new studio and their teacher is great! I had met his wife at the hospital a few weeks before we started Karate; we were both doing orientation together. Small world?!



Arabella is discovering dolls and I think it is super cute.
And finally, the boys have really be wanting a dog. This is something we have been considering for quite some time. We are not opposed to the idea of a dog. We made a deal with the boys that if they could show they could be resposible by keeping their rooms clean, helping around the house, doing well at school, and being good at taekwondo we would get a dog. Jon also would like to have a fish and a parrot. He tells people that first we will get a "watch fish", then a "watch parrot" and then a "watch dog". I am not so sure how effective a watch fish would be a parrot might at least make noise but we will see about all three.

Bells looks super cute with her piggie tails in that picture. Funny that ya'll miss Vegas... that is the last place both of us want to end up but we will see what happens. And I know ya'll would LOVE it if we bought your house but it is on the wrong side of town for school for Brady and we will pretty much be poor for the next 4 years and maybe in 5 we can actually think about buying a house. Oh the joys of grad school :)
Glad ya'll are doing so well in TX.

Brinley has the same cute doll as Arabella! Everytime she sees Arabella she smiles and says, "Bella, Bella"
