Mr. Yellow Tip Belt

Dylan really enjoys Tae Kwon Do. He has been working extra hard to test for a new belt. Last Monday his name was called, and he was ready to test.

He did his form well. Thade was called to do the one steps with Dylan.

Dylan was all smiles when he was awarded his Yellow Tip.

A Minor Hiccup

Last Monday, I did a Windows update on my trusty laptop, and sadly it died… We tried for an entire week to work on it, and bring it back, but it just wouldn’t cooperate.

James surprised me this weekend with a new setup!

He got me a new Sony Vaio, and he got an amazing deal on it. I still can’t believe that he got it for me, but I am really thankful for it. Yeah, my hubby is super awesome!

I’ll be spending the next few days getting used to the new laptop, but so far I am loving it!

Summer So Far

The kids have been out of school for a few weeks. We’ve been staying pretty close to home so far.

Agnes and I chilling on the couch, one quiet afternoon. James took the boys to the movies for the afternoon, so we were enjoying the peaceful house.

The boys are still taking Tae Kwon Do this Summer.

The kids have been helping me water the garden.

We’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors.

We’ve had a few rainy days too, so we had an indoor picnic, and watched a movie. I finished my book while the kids were extra quiet.

We also went to the rainy Good ‘Ol Days Parade.

The sun came back in time for the festival though.

Mother’s Day

I know this post is a little late. Like I’ve said before May was a blur, and I’m just now catching up.

Thade made me a sweet card, a coupon book, and flowers too.

Dylan made an adorable card, and had a few flowers for me too. I love those boys.

Agnes sang “Happy Birthday” to me all day, which was really cute.

The kids woke me up extra early with another gift. They got me the Hunger Games trilogy, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I love my little family.
