Fish Tank background

We added a new fish tank about month ago...and placed it on the bricks in-front of the fireplace, since we don't use it anymore and best placed to hold a 100 gallon tank. Will thought of an idea of getting a piece of board and letting the kids paint it. Kayla didn't want to be around when we first started...you know that starting of teenager life...friends are better to be with. But anyways, Billy wanted a pirate ship and when looking on line of how to draw one we also came up with Nemo and other items...this is what it turned out to be.

Weekly Review 5/26/08

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what has happened this week and not much...I'm drawing a blank. We scheduled the kids their trip to Grandma Becky's house and the next day Kayla came down sick...Must be something about talking of a trip to Grandma's and the kids come down sick.

Started on the other bathroom (Wills) and wondering how many more bathrooms are we going to remodel before our time is up. This is getting old. But the bathroom will be nice and when i clean them, they will look clean...something about that 70's look, no matter how much you clean, it never had that clean feel to me.

Oh, there was something this week, Kayla spared for the 2nd time (just in class) and when the instructor announced who will be going next (and it was Kayla and another boy), the little boy's head dropped. When they got up the instructor told the little boy that he was strong and she was quick, don't let her push you around. I'm thinking that she is holding all that pent-up energy from Billy and releasing it on these boy's in her class. She is really not afraid of going up against anyone yet. She did however get hit back this time and blocked really well. The only bad thing that happened was her pads are new and rubbed a blister on the top of her foot. Dad took her to see one of the students in rookie school (at the Fire Dept), who teaches Tae Kwon Do and gave her some words to go by. I think it helped. Also so far Dad had made both Wednesday nights when she spared. She needs Dad. They talk and she is able to calm down and listen...he has that special touch.
I joined and had my first full week last week, and let me tell you...my body is sore.

Billys Bike Crash

This happened May 4th 2008. Billy decided to go down the hill on his bike...and found out why mom and dad should be with him. He's healing up just find.

Belt Testing

Both Kayla and Billy had belt testing on April 26, 2008. Well, both past. Kayla is now an orange belt and Billy is now a yellow. We are very proud of both of them!!!! Here are some pictures to share...

Billy's Allergies

We had allergy test done on Billy. He's had 4 sinus infections since November. Turns out his allergies are high for Timothy and Johnson Grass. We have him taking Allegra to see if that helps with seasonal allergies. He was low for all the other items: Candida (I think this is sugar and yeast overgrowth), Mucor (a sugar fungus because it attacks the carbohydrates, so mold/house dung and soils), Alder, Oak, Dock/Sorrel and oh did I mention Milk, Wheat and Soy. So we are doing research and starting to change how we eat...
