We headed to Sunvally Idaho this year for summer vacation we all had lots of fun hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa D by pool. The kids all so started school as soon as we got back and are really excited to see all there friends and teachers again. Along with school they all so started soccer which they both are extremly enjoying.

The Family and Karate

The Girls have started Karate a month ago and are loving it. Emilie has gained her yellow belt and McKenzie will test soon for hers. It has been a good experience for the both of them meeting new friends and gaining allot of self confidence in themselves. They have enjoyed it so much that Julie has decided she is going to pick it back up again taking me allong with her. She was in Karate as a kid and mad it to her 2nd green belt before ending. Now she is continuing on starting where she left off with a few refresher classes. Me I will continue with her as soon as my shoulder heals from surgery.

Christmas with the Dickson's in Utah

I realize that I haven't been keeping this blog very current so I will start at Christmas and hopefully catch things up soon. This of course is the girls, Emilie and McKenzie at Christmas with Santa and Mrs. Claus. We had a wonderful Christmas, with everyone getting even more than they wished for.

McKenzie performed with her Head Start Class for all of the parents.
Emilie performed with a music group that she is in. They were both wonderful. Look for some video coming soon.
