Life

Too many leaves means too much fun!

This week Micah earned her first stripe on her white belt.  So cool!

She works really hard in karate and we're happy to see her committment.

We weren't so happy to see another trash creation in her room, this one with a great big bowl of water for her animals that don't exist but need water and cardboard box house to live.  She is quite creative and we do love that!

Once upon a time I picked up Amber at 2:30 in the morning so we could be in Heber right near 3 AM.  Yes, that's 3 AM.  We sat in front of the Silver Eagle gas station until they opened at 5 so we could be first in line to get our Christmas tree permit!  Later on we found out they sold them online.  Still had a good time; we met a guy named Kevin who told us all about his life growing up in Heber.  Hahaha.

Copper definitely missed out on our family Halloween party but she wanted to try the donut on a string, so we all watched her struggle until she finally caught one in her mouth.  :)

We've been making vision boards and other crafts to remind us of who we are and what's important to us.  We had a lesson one night about how we should be proud to be one of the few in the world who will always stand for goodness and for Christ and for our loving God.  Kota made this poster for her room and I just beamed when I saw it. I sure love her!

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
