Panda Dance

The kids learned to play the song from Kung Fu Panda on the piano. Here's Kailey dancing to it on the coffee table while they play for her. (Turn on your speakers and pause our playlist to hear the song.)

Turkey Bowl

After stuffing ourselves at our delicious Thanksgiving feast at my parents house we all went to our TaeKwonDo studio for some turkey bowling. The ball was actually a frozen turkey. It was pretty funny, but messier than we'd predicted.

My cousin Tasha was our grand champion Turkey Bowler.

Here's a video clip of Trisha demonstrating how it's done. By this time the poor turkey was double bagged.

It was harder for the little kids and they insisted on wearing gloves.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dinoland

My friend Christina and I took our 10 kids to the Dinoland exhibit at Zilker park. It was really neat and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Twilight

Like the rest of the country, we are totally obsessed with BYU grad- Stephanie Myer's Twilight saga. We read all four books in like 2 weeks. The much anticipated vampire movie came out today. We loved it!

Hunter's 1st Testing

Hunter tested for his first rank in our tiger cubs program. He received his new belt at our awards ceremony tonight. He is now a tiger cub yellow belt. It's a white belt with a yellow stripe down the middle. He started TaeKwonDo right after his 4th birthday. He loves it and begs to take class every day.
Here he is with his cousin and best buddy, Mitchell. I don't know how we managed to keep them still even long enough for one picture. For part of their testing they have to stand at attention without moving for a whole 30 seconds. It's very difficult for 4 year olds.

Mitchell tested for and received his cub brown belt. We sure love and are proud of these guys even if they are super silly. ♥

Cold Front

A cold front blew in today while the kids were playing outside. Hunter started off in shorts and a tank top.(It was in the 80's). As the front blew in, he would come in and add a piece of clothing every 5-10min. It was amazing how quickly the temperature dropped.


Hannah was pretty cute too. Notice all of her accessories are sequenced. A must for cold weather when you're a 6 year old girl.

Happy Halloween!

BOO!

Kailey was a ballerina for Halloween. She loved her tutu and had a blast trick-or-treating!

Hunter couldn't make up his mind, so he ended up being a ninja and Batman!

Here is Hannah as a cute little old woman. Her and Tanner thought of their own costumes this year.

Tanner dressed up as an old man. He was hilarious! He looked just like pictures of his great-great grandpa Silviano Lucero. People also said he looked like my dad. I guess my Dad thought he needed to look older than his grandkids, so he dressed up too. He made some trick-or-treaters cry! Kailey plugged her nose and said he was stinky! I guess she doesn't know the words old or ugly yet.

Taylor had two costumes for this year. He was a kid going to school for our wards Fall Festival and a really bad paint ball player for Halloween night. He had a mask and paintball gun, and we painted him with all different colors of paint splats.

Happy Halloween!
