spring break

What a wonderful Spring Break we had. The boys and I along with Kurt's parents and brother (Kurt had to work) traveled up to Double JJ Ranch, an indoor water park. We had a blast! We visited with Uncle Bob and Aunt Sue (Gary's brother) and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at their home. That night we stayed in a lovely log cabin home at the "Ranch". The boys REALLY liked that. In the morning, we had a home cooked breakfast then off to the water park! The rides were great and the boys loved splashing the water! We even taught the boys how to swim... in the hot tub!

On Friday we traveled to Chicago by train! The boys loved waiting for the train to arrive. Carol, Gary, Brad, Aunt Tonilyn, and Grace (3 weeks older than Kaden) joined us. In Chicago, we visited Shedd's Aquarium. The aquarium is BEAUTIFUL. The boys did awesome and loved seeing all the fish and especially the baby beluga!



This past Saturday, the boys and I traveled down to Fort Wayne, Indiana to compete in the ATA Taekwondo Regional Tournament. The boys did AWESOME and I was so proud of them. They weren't nervous at all. They each received a trophy. Kaden won the "Most Sportsmanship" and Connor won "Best Leader". I love it. That's soooo their personalities! I placed 1st in Forms, 2nd in Sparring, and 2nd in Weapons.
