I took the girls and their friends to an event at the high school last night.  Promptly upon exiting the vehicle they all took off and I realized they mostly want nothing to do with us anymore. So I called Tim to come over and we watched the marching band event for a bit before leaving early.  

First: band kids are something else.  :)
Second: Gone are the days the girls want to stay home with Tim and I; we are basically chauffeurs because they're too young to drive.  Sometimes Micah will call for a family night and we had to officially assign at least one night a week with no events so we could connect; most of the time, though, they have grand ideas on how they want to spend their time. 

I looked over a bit into it and saw Dakota, Micah, and their friend Emery pulling the high school football team's equipment up over a hill in the back field. I took a picture before calling them. Here's how it went:
Me: Dakota, what in the heavens are you guys doing and where did you get that?
Dakota: Well it was by the football stuff and we got permission to move it.
Me: Who gave you permission?
Dakota: Well Emery did.
Me: Put it back and act like normal humans...

Dakota's part of a new soccer league and their game season started a few weeks ago.  It keeps us pretty busy! They have two 90 minute practices a week plus a 90 minute game per week; it's good for her to get moving and get talking to others...



Red was invited by my mom to sit up to the table and he did so (for about 30 seconds) like a pro.

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...
