KIOP!

"Kiop" is the sound Hank makes during his Tae Kwon Do routine and is the sound he made as he smashed this board in half with his foot during his latest belt test. Hank didn't hesitate once during his test and completed every task Master Augustine asked of him. He is now a Blue Dragon. Nice work Hank-man!

Nothing much going on around here. Hank is looking forward to a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week and a play date with his buddy Crew. Max is talking like crazy all of the sudden. My favorite phrase of his is "Hey....what you doin'?" If you're lucky he's called you and personally asked that question. Randy's been busy selling policies, playing with the kiddies and helping a elderly widow change the oil in her tractor. I've been easing my anxiety over my nephew Jack's spinal surgery by baking like a mad woman. I think I've made approximately 20 dozen cookies this week. I'm so grateful the surgery went so well and he's on the mend. This morning the boys and I had some fun with the camera while we waited for Randy to wake up. Here are the highlights...

Bob the builder, I love how he wears his hard hat backwards.

He's trying to be cross eyed...his eyes aren't like that normally, I promise!

Perfect shot of the snotty nose and chipped teeth!

He totally looks like me when I run...future cross country star?

Max had to join in of course.


and my favorite action shot...

It makes me giggle every time I see it!


Again...we've been really busy, as you can see! This photo shoot went on for an hour. My kids love the camera, what can I say.
