Blue Belt

JD broke a board with his foot to earn his blue belt at Mu Sool Won.  It seems like every style of martial arts has it's own belt system.  In the one JD is doing blue belt is half way to black belt.  Keep working JD - we want to see you breaking more boards!

This Week of Summer . . .

. . . is being sponsored by soccer camp. 

 We LOVE Coach Hoffman!!  She is my neighbor at school and always runs a camp that is lots of fun. 

 Later in the day while JD is working on his reading skills at Kiker I work on my shopping skills.  I have to admit -- if these shoes were flats I would have been tempted by them.  Unfortunately, I'm too old to learn how to walk in these torture devices.

Nothing more fun in the summer time than a tip to the orthodontist!

Fishing

 For the 4th of July JD went fishing.  He caught this big one all by himself.

 The next day he helped cook the fish.

YUM - the fish you catch and cook yourself is always delicious.

Express Camp

JD loved his week learning baseball skills with the Round Rock Express.

 The only thing not GREAT about this week's camp at the Dell Diamond was the drive -- it was anything but EXPRESS. Ha Ha Ha Ha

 After a long hot week we had some BBQ at the Salt Lick.  This famous Driftwood joint has a smaller version of itself next to the stadium.  Their billboards say, "you can smell our pits for miles."  It's true and one whiff of that wood smoke made us extra hungry for some brown meat.
