Sorry to let down my loyal subscribers by making you wait for a new post!
Logan has had a pretty exciting week. For a Spring sport he wanted to give Karate a try. The 'instructor' just happens to be the lady that runs the day home that the boys have been going to for six years. For the first couple of weeks I was taking Logan, but now that Carter has started ball, Mark and I each take a boy and go in different directions! I never knew this, but in Karate the kids learn what is called a "Cada". They get tested on it and I'm assuming this is how the instructors know when to 'graduate' them to the next color belt. Logan only has been going for about five weeks, and on Monday, Lisa asked who wanted to preform their Cada for her. Logan, being his cocky little self as of lately, put up his hand a said he would! So, near the end of class, she called him up. He jumped up and then realized what he just got himself into! The next class was starting soon, so the back of the room had filled up with more people. along with the parents of the kids in his class and all the kids in his class! He bowed to Lisa and then freaked out! The dude started crying and continued to while going through the movements of the Cada. I'm glad Mark took him that day because I'm sure I would have cried right along with him. I guess he did okay for only being there a short time.
One time when I took Logan, the class was pretty small due to the weather being a blizzard outside, so the kids got to 'suit up' and fight with the weapons. I did manage to snap a couple shots with my cell phone.
HIIYAHHHH!
Also this week, Logan was 'Star Student of the Week'.
This means that he gets to be the teachers assistant with things like the calendar, reading, being first in line and to share a show and tell item each day. He also had to write a small biography and take that to school. Here is the list of show and tell things he took for the week:
Monday - pictures of trailer & camping in Dickey Lake
Tuesday - pictures that he drew and a story he wrote
Wednesday - the two trophies that we has won (Pee Wee Stampede 2004 & Little league 2008)
Thursday - Hemi
Friday - magnets that he painted
Every morning around here, getting the kids ready for school is some times a bit of a yelling match. 'Get dressed! Get your bags packed! Wash your face!' This past week with Logan needing to take all these things to school, I never had to ask him once, he had everything packed and ready to go! Very exciting to be the Star Student of the Week.
Here are some pictures of Hemi going to school.
Logan enjoyed showing all the girls. Check out the smile on his face! (He just so happens be right in front of Chloe in the picture. The one to the left of the girl in pink.)
Hemi did pretty good. He loves getting attention.............and did he ever! There was fur everywhere. To end his week, his good friend Ryan asked him to come over and play after school on Friday! Ahhhhhhhh, to be six years old again.

He is so handsome!! Brings tears to my eyes! Quite the ladies man, huh? Grandpa would like that!!!!
Logan's Karate class looks like fun. He looks like he is enjoying himself!
Star Student of the Week!! That's AWESOME! (How come they didn't do anything like that when we were in school???) Logan looks so grown up. What a stinker...sitting right in front of the girls. He's gonna be trouble when he's a teenager! :)
As for the karate story, that made me teary, too. Poor kid -- that's a lot of pressure! Glad he made it thru. Hopefully he'll try again soon!
