Grandma and Pa Come to Visit

Summer vacation started with a visit from Grandma and Pa! The boys were so excited to see them!

One of the things we did while Grandma and Pa were here was visit the White House Fair.

Devin split his time between the roller coaster and the slide.

Poor Connor split his time between the rides and gracing the grass with his dinner...

Guess we learned the hard way not to eat spaghetti and ride the Superman ride.

This was Devin's first time on the farris wheel. I think they rode three times.

Here's Connor trying to win a prize.


This picture cracks me up! This was the kiddie version of the Superman ride--the SuperGIRL. This is one of the kids from karate. These "fearless" boys on the kiddie ride.... if you look closely, you'll see Devin riding by himself two cars behind them!!!

One of the activities that always occurs when Grandma and Pa visit, is a round of putt-putt golf. The boys didn't get any pictures of the golf game, but they did manage to get pictures of the shopping trip afterwards.




Shaolin Showdown Tournament 5/2009


In May, we traveled to Bowling Green, KY for another karate tournament.

This is Connor running his new form Hwang Gar.


I always talk about Connor and his sparring. I've never really captured Connor sparring before, so I am very proud to have captured a bit of his match from this tournament.

Connor took home first place in sparring and 3rd place in weapons at this tournament!
