Aragorn got an award on Friday at school.  His school follows a motto of HOWL.  Helpful, Ownership, Wisechoices Leader.  He got his award for Ownership.  Taking ownership of himself and making the right choices.  We are SO proud of him.  This is his 1st award, so he was pretty proud of him too.  We hope he keeps it up, maybe he can earn all of the HOWL awards!

Family......

A couple of weekends ago Eric's Aunt Kay and Uncle Randy came into town.  They come up a couple times a year, but usually only for a  day or so here in town and then they head to Estes park.  This year we were able to catch them before they headed back to KS and we were able to spend some time with them.  Craig and Belinda and Kay and Randy Eric and i with the boys, all met up for dinner at Freddy's and then we dropped the boys with Auntie Bria and headed out for a date night.  We met up with Craig and Belinda and Kay and Randy to do drinking and some dancing.  Belinda and Craig are fans of a local performer b the name of C. C. Collier.  They have wanted us to see him or a while, and i have to admit he was pretty good.  He's a one man show and he does really well.  We had a great time hanging out and dancing.  It was great spending some time with Kay and Randy, as well as Craig and Belinda, we all had so much fun, we may even be at the next show. 

Karate...

Yesterday the boys participated in a "break-a-thon" for their Karate school.  They each collected enough money to buy 8 boards, plus to more boards we bought at the event.  They had a live band, good food, and great entertainment, all kinds of people young and old experienced or not breaking boards.  Aragorn and Rohan both did GREAT breaking all 10 boards with very little effort.  They had a good time, we had a good time Grandma, Auntie Bri, Grandpa and Mr Martin joined in on the fun too.  Grandma brought the boys breakfast to get their gears going before the braking, and grandpa bought us all lunch with Ice cream to cool us down.  It was a really fun day.  And the best part was, all of he funds raised will got to help underprivileged children that can not afford karate :-)

8 Years

 

Eric and i celebrated 8 years of being married on Sept 4th. We went to dinner at olive garden and enjoyed some adult time, just chatting. We were home by 8:30 and just had a very calm and easy going night. He got me the newest SIMS games, and we got a card games expansion for him. It was a nice night for us. Happy anniversary Monkey. I love you!
