This year we decided that through Itex, a company Calvin works or, we would start the kids up in karate again. Casey, Carson, and Caden all love it and are all yellow belts. Carson and Casey are in the same class and Caden is in the little Dragons Class. Karate is all caden talks about and it is so cute when he's "practicing" his moves at home! These are some pictures as he was testing for his yellow belt.

A couple monthes ago we were so lucky to pack up and head to California. My brothers, my mom, and I had such a great car ride together. Our main entainment for the 16 hour long ride was our dogs! I sat in the front with my mom. The boys sat in the 2 seats behind us, and the dogs sat in the back 3 seats that the were supposed to share! Barlkey being the lazy, fat dog he is hogged the whole back seat the entire ride. We were lauging so hard while seeing copper in his many positions trying to get comfy! It was hilarious. We had a great time so thanks for letting us come and visit. We are so excited to head back to California again!
