Karate Class

I will be posting pics of the graduation next week. Megan passed her stripe tests and has moved up in rank in karate, jj and weapons class. I passed my stripe test and will move up in belt rank in karate!!! Only 2 broken toes, 1 stress fracture to the knee, and countless bruises later....I will have a new belt. I must say...it is much harder than it looks, but I do enjoy it. I must say grappling and sparring are not my favorite things to do...but they will definitely make me break out in a sweat! Check back in a week for pics.

Megan is 12!!











Megan turned 12 on Friday the 27th. We had her party at the karate studio. I made her a karate cake. She loved it! She had such a good time. The Chappell's do a great job with the birthday parties. You can check out their packages at http://www.chappellsfamilykarate.com/. Hope you enjoy looking at a few of the pictures from the party.

Karate Class


Well by now you all know I have started taking Karate. And really...I like it. I am having alot of fun. On the first class I had, my "warm-up" consisted of 50 push ups and what seemed to be 10 laps around the room...and that was my "warm-up"???

I made it through the class...but I thought I was going to die!

Today I took my 6th class. The picture is of my 1st injury...LOL...I am sure there will be more to come..but I thought I would share it.

I know don't what is worse...the push ups or Megan and Ricky sitting on the side watching and laughing. I am sure, they have as much fun watching me as I do in class.

More to come later....
