Kung Fu

Caden had his first Kung Fu class today. Here is a pic of him in his uniform. In class today they were learning to fight with sticks (I'm sure it has a more official name than that... Caden just told me it was the Chong Bong form movements). He loved it! There were a lot of kids his age in his class. The head instructor is a christian man who incorporates scripture and value training into his teaching.

First Race

Joey and Caden left the house this morning at 6:15 to head to Caden's first Bike Race. He was very excited and couldn't wait for the day to get here. The ride was twelve miles long....the first part was uphill, and he didn't stop even once. Joey rode with him. Here are some pictures of Joey and Caden riding and of Carson and Corban waiting for Daddy and Bubba to pass by. Caden is looking forward to his next race, and Carson says he wants to ride too.

My Champions with cats and snails...

Remember the cat from last week? Well, three days later Caden entered the cat in a pet show. The cat won "Best Dressed", "Longest Tail", and then, believe it or not... "Best of Show". Here he is with his cat and trophy. The cat is now with Grandma, and we are back in San Diego.

Back in May, the boys entered an essay contest sponsored by Petco. The prize: four tickets to a Padres game, lunch, and a behind-the-scenes tour of Petco Park where the Padres play. Last week we received a phone call saying that Carson had won!! The essay topic was: If you could have any animal for a pet, what animal would you choose and why? Here is Carson's winning essay:

I want a snail because they are cool. I like how they look, and sometimes they have a pretty shell. I would give it water and feed it lettuce and tomatos. I would let it crawl all over me except for my face. I would play with it everyday.

Hair Cuts

Last spring, the boys decided that they were not going to cut their hair until Christmas. Christmas came and went, and the hair continued to grow. Nine months later, their hair is cut! For those of you who have been asking when they were going to get haircuts (uncle Jeremy), this picture is for you.
