Where does the time go???

It was never my intention to be absent from my blog for so long, but life sometimes seems to get away from you. You race around and seem to get nothing done, it sometimes takes just sitting down and absorbing what all you've been doing. So I'm going to summarize!

We went to a tournament in St. Louis, a four hour drive from our home, we went and came back in the same day! Crazy, but fun! The kids did wonderful. Hunter and Dakota both placed in their divisions. Hunter got a second in sparring and weapons, a third in forms. Dakota got a second in sparring and a third in weapons. Ry and Sissy don't get judged they just show-off their mad skills.

Here's Hunter receiving one of his medals.....

Rylan, my gorgeous red-head sporting his medals....
Have you ever seen anything as cute as Sissy in sparring gear..........
We practiced our forms before we showed off.......
and most importantly we played with friends on a dirty floor in our white uniform.....
After we returned from tournament the kids all had their promotion. Koty just absolutely rocked out his promotion. He is definitely "black belt" material.....

We had a beautiful ice storm, that amazingly caused very little damage and almost no inconvenience. The best kind of storm ever and it was so pretty. We stayed really cold for awhile after the storm, so the trees were iced for several days.

And finally we have been working on our homeschool. Today Ry and Sissy talked about Joseph being taken into Egypt. They made Egyptian collars, Koty decided to get in on the art project as well; they all did a great job.

Well, that's it, sorry it's been so long; I'll try to do better.
