All Star National Championship Tournament and Banquet

The last tournament of the season took place in Cinicinatti. While Connor couldn't compete at the tournament because of a broken ankle, he was able to attend the banquet with his team members and other dojos!

Connor and Devin at the banquet...somehow Devin doesn't look excited to be here!
Devin and Jillian at the banquet. I don't think karate would be the same for either of these guys without the other.



Congratulations Connor!! Connor was a single crown winner for the 10-11 year old division in sparring! He won the silver Pro-Am Championship ring.

This picture of Connor and Dakota was taken at the kid's "After Party".
Team Kenpo!
You can tell that your children don't get out much when they try and eat the hamburger at the Big Boy!!
Cincinnati was a fun trip for all of us!

Boss's Day

Without a doubt, I have the most awesome staff ever!

Devin looses his first tooth!

I can't believe my baby is growing up... here we are working the first of two loose teeth.
Of course it's a family affair with Gigi offering water and Grandad ready to pull!

Here's Devin after we pulled his first tooth!

Next Door Kittens

The neighbors next door have two cats. Each of these cats had a litter of kittens... 11 kittens total!! This is Diamond sharing her babies with us.

To the neighbors dismay, we called this cat Tigger. They called him Hunter.
This is Tigger in Devin's lap... looks like Moma's jealous.

Yep! Diamond's jealous...she's just going to sit on the kitten to make sure she gets her share of the Love!

Here's Connor with three of the kittens... he was so glad that he found out he was no longer allergic to cats.
