The Tournament

Caleb attended his first Karate Tournament this morning at 9am. It was a mini tournament and everyone received a trophy for participating, but since they were still judging, Caleb came in first place in his group.



Here is Caleb waiting to start






Everyone sat against the wall waiting for their turn

Here he is hanging with the guys

Caleb with his trophy. Noah can't wait till he can be in Karate too!

As you can see Caleb picked the smallest trophy. He had first choice of the trophies and he decided on that one. There was just something he liked about it!

Here is the group and Caleb's sensei is there on the floor. Caleb really likes her. She is a great teacher!

And here is the video of him. Make sure you turn off the music and turn the volume way up so you can here him talk.

We are so proud of him and his courage to even want to get up in front of a group and do this. He's our special boy! We love you Caleb!!

Karate Kid

Caleb has been going to Karate class for the last three weeks. He has been wanting to be in Karate for about a year. So finally we signed him up. He was so excited to get the uniform last week.

He does really good in class watching how to do all the moves and he practices a lot at home. His favorite movie right now is The Karate Kid. He said he wants to be Mr. Miagi for Halloween. You would think he would want to be Danny Larusso! I'm sure he'll change his mind come October.

Anyways, we are really proud of Caleb. He already is thinking of the tournament coming up in a few weeks and says he wants to win the trophy and he'll practice until he's the best. He is hilarious!

Henry is 7 mos.

After Caleb's birthday I realized Henry turned 7 mos. on the same day we were at Medieval Times. See what happens with the third child, you start forgetting important dates! Let's just hope I don't forget his actual birthday. Our Henry is becoming such a big boy now. He stays up longer throughout the day with a couple of short naps in between. He loves to sit up and have a bunch of toys around him to play with. That keeps him busy for a good while. I've also noticed Henry loves to watch cartoons. I can't believe he's glued to the TV at such a young age. He loves listening to music and he loves to hear me play the piano whenever I get a chance. He also loves a good magazine to tear and chew up once in a while. Henry loves his brothers and they love to make him laugh. When Daddy comes home Henry is so happy he smiles and kicks his legs in excitement. We love having this sweet baby in the family!
