What's new?

Jax has been in Taekwondo for almost a month now and every time we go I want to cry. I know it's not a cool thing to do. Yet, I still have to hold back the tears. He is so so so dang cute in class. He concentrates so hard on doing the forms perfect and the confidence this class is giving him is awesome! It has inspired me so much that I have now enrolled Maddi (not so sure she is that stoked about it) and myself. Keith is next. Maddi and I start next week. I thought it would be good for us too. A little more exercise, self defense yada yada. I'm sure Keith will be documenting the momentus occasion just as he did when I decided to join a womens b-ball team. Those tapes will be destroyed.

Keifer is doing so great! We don't see him enough or ever. He is busy, busy, busy. A few weeks ago he sold one of his awesome songs to the HBO show "Entourage". He is an incredibly talented guy and we are SO proud of him.

Maddi would like to follow in his footsteps with music but, for now she's sticking with the books! Whew! She is running for student leadership again this year. As a 5th grader she can run for President so that is what she is doing. If you have any ideas on a theme or slogan give us a hoot and a holla. Last year her slogan was "Dream Big, Achieve Big".

Jaxson is doing great in school. Although, if you ask him his favorite part you know it will be recess or lunch. He makes up these crazy games with lava and monsters and I don't even know what else. Last year him and a few other boys and girls made an animal hospital at lunch. They saved ants, roly polies and worms. I'm glad he's over that!

My babe is doing the same ol same ol thing. Working hard or is it hardly working? Don't tell him I said that. He keeps asking me if I'm retired. I guess I need to pick up some shifts. I don't know whats wrong with him. I think this schedule of 1 day a week is great!!! He's got a new group of dudes to play in friday night poker nights. Yahoo for poker. He is itching to get a Harley again and I am itching to keep it away. I'm a scaredy cat now and want to keep him safe and sound. We need him and love him toooo much!

I am so ready for fall. Where is it already? I love that crisp, clean air. I need to go home to get the full effect since we don't really have any seasons here in sunny CA. The kids are asking about going to Utah for Christmas. They want to see some snow. Poor Maddison has NEVER been in it! We better make an effort this year to find some snow.
