The Family That Kicks Together!!!

What is White and Blue, Yellow, Purple, and Blue? Our new Karate Belt Ranks!! This week our entire family took part in the Belt exam. You all know that I have been learning karate with the kids for some time now. Well Randy joined us so now we are all in it together!! Emaleah advanced to a White/Blue Belt, Randy passed his first belt exam and was promoted to Yellow Belt, I have passed my third exam and am now a Purple Belt, and Nicholas out ranks us all with his fourth belt level, he is now a Blue Belt! I am so proud of my family, we are all learning so much and we are doing it together! Master DePalma says, " A Family that Kicks Together, Sticks Together!"

Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone has lots of chocolate to get them by!! Friday we went to Safford to Trick or Treat and enjoy a wonderful school carnival! The kids had so much fun. Tonight our school had a Trick or Trunk and it's Annual Fall Carnival. Randy and I had a great time decorating our trunk. Since election day is Tuesday and I am running for School Board, he carved "Vote 4 Torey", in our pumpkin.

My husband really got into Halloween this year and he looked great, he had everyone cracking up. I dug deep into my inner witch and went with it! Nicholas was a reaper and Emaleah was a bat girl. It really is a milestone when your kids costumes start to get a bit scarier and less cute.

KEOP!!

Nicholas had a Karate Party this year. He got to bring some of his friends and show them all the fun moves he gets to learn in Karate. They all received a pair of Nunchaku's. The kids really liked that part!! There were games, Randy and I really had fun with the balloon race where you couldn't use your hands or feet.

We had ordered a "Blocker", it looks like a padded bat, to give to Nicholas for his birthday, when Mr. Dixon brought it out we tricked Nicholas into thinking that it was a karate paddle for birthday spankings. It took a minute to make him realize that it was really for him to practice his kicks and punches.

Nicholas got to cut his cake with a real samurai sword with the help of Mr. Dixon. He was one bring grin while he was cutting his cake.I believe that this was his favorite party ever. All day Saturday he practiced with his Nunchaku's and his blocker. Thank you Mr, Dixon for all your hard work!!
