1st in Kata

I just had to take a minute and say how proud we are of Gavin. He received 1st in Kata Saturday at the tournament. I believe there were 9 or 10 kids in his division. And what made it even better for him was they gave away trophies for 1st and 2nd and he really wanted one. He has gotten a metal and a plaque before so this was big time for him. Very cool and of course I took some pics.

And the smile that only first place can give you...

Dance recital

I can't believe tomorrow is Chloe's dance recital and I haven't posted any pictures in her dance dress. Its so cute. She is dancing to the song that goes -- "sugar pie, honey pie, you know that I love you... I can't help myself I love you and no body else. You know the song???? I will have to get the title. Well she preforms at 1 and 7 tomorrow. It will be a long day. Oh ya and to top things off I took her to the doctor this morning and she has strep throat. But since we got in this morning she will be fine by noon tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

handmade beads!

Two posts in one week wow! I just had to brag on my mom and I. We took a bead making class at Heart and Soul beads and had a great time. Here are my creations. I can't wait to go back and do some more.

Our new kittens

Poor Chloe I sometimes thing she was born into the wrong family. She loves animals so much and Gavin and I are sooo allergic. But Smokey (our current cat who we have had for about 10 years - outside) is really starting to show his age and we thought Chloe would love a new kitten. So we found two free black kittens. They are Boo (Chloe's kitten) and Luke (Gavin's kitten). They are so cute and fun to watch. When we got them home Gavin said something about the kitty and Chloe corrected him and said he isn't a kitty he's a kitten. I am not sure what the difference is but Chloe does.
