Kung Foo Coulter Strikes Again

This one's for you Uncle Rick. Now you know what you are up against. Coulter Competed in his first Karate Tournament today. The Sarah J Barnes Memorial Tournament. He performed an open hand Kata and took first place in his age division. He was so excited. He also sparred, but didnt win his match, he had to spar against his friend from class. Coulter was by far the smallest kid there. I will sleep better tonight knowing that my five year old has got my back.
Coulter and his friend getting their trophies, they each got a second and first place.

A Little bit of Coulter's Sparring match. He is the shorter one with the dark blue gear and red bandana in the back. Not sure how he could move with all that gear on. He also had his first experience with an athletic cup which mortified him.

Happenings

Here is what has been going on at our house in a quick post. Maycie: Has joined the ranks of spending our money and using all our free time with her toddler gymnastics class. Her leotard gives her a chronic wedgie which makes it extra cute.

Coulter: has a Karate tournament next week he will perform a Kata and also Spar against another kid. Not sure how I feel about training him to fight other people, but he sure seems to enjoy it.

Cody: recently had a run in with an angry Barbeque propane tank that exploded in his face. After a 90 mile an hour drive to the hospital in kingman and some numbing medicine to his singed lips, he was in tip top shape again. He is currently focusing on regrowing his eyebrows and eyelashes, we wish him well.

Keeping Cool

What did our tax refund buy us this year?

A reason for us to want to go outside...

(and some pretty snazzy goggles)
