Karate. It all started with Andrew's friend, Gavin, inviting Andrew to a karate class and I agreed to let him go. Rachel freaked out when she found out and BEGGED to go with him. Fine, go. Bad idea! The obsession with karate officially began.
Through that karate studio, they had a complimentary two sessions plus a free uniform to help the kids earn their white belts and get a break a board. That was all a ploy to lure us in ... then they told me the price $99/month with a 12 month contract - that price is per kid. It is for 2-30 minute classes a week. No way!!
So then we tried karate at all the local recreation centers to find a better fit for our budget. Rachel finally lost a tiny bit of interest and decided to stick with gymnastics (phew!). Andrew has held on strong and wore his karate uniform for two weeks straight, begging to do karate. We finally found something that will work, and got him signed up for January. These little ninjago fans think karate will help them become real ninjago guys.
Date night with Kyle & Annie to the Jazz game - it was a last minute offer for Jazz box tickets. Yes, please! That is my kind of sporting event!!
My cousin Ryan married Jordan in December too! My kids loves Ryan and call him Uncle Ryan because it doesn't make much sense to them that he's my cousin.
I took Kendall on a date to a BYU basketball game! She was so fun, but did require constant snacks. When the snacks were all gone, she was ready to go home. I did get a very special robot dance during on the breaks that I had never seen before and it was pretty amazing!
Also, Grandpa was interviewed on the news! The kids enjoyed watching him, and Rachel was even featured in one of the pictures they showed with some other cousins. She was thrilled to be on TV!
I am collecting pictures of Andrew on the toilet - he likes to take books or toys with him to keep him entertained. Ha ha!
Happy New Year from this crew!!!
