Megan's first TKD testing

Megan continues to LOVE Taekwondo, but I didn't expect the extreme joy that she showed when she tested and got her orange belt.  As she waited for Tyler and me to test, she insisted on showing her new belt to almost every person that came into the school.  It was fun to see.

Below are some videos (clearly I didn't think about the placement of my seat, but at least you can see a little bit around the post.).  To view a few more photos, click on the photo above.

1st Day of School!

Here are some fun picks from Tyler's first day of 2nd grade and Megan's first day of her second year of Pre-K.

Amateur Taekwondo photo shoot

If you can't tell, the kids are loving Taekwondo.  We got some great photos after class one day.  The top one is my favorite :).

Summer long weekend in Austin

For our last family trip before Tyler starts school we took a long weekend in Austin.  On the way, we stopped at Louie Mueller's BBQ in Taylor where I had the best BBQ that I've had since we moved here (and we mistakenly ordered 7 ribs until we discovered that they each had about 1.5 lbs of meat on them).  After that, we headed west of Austin to Enchanted Rock where we had fun hiking to the top.  The next couple of days we had fun around Austin swimming, hiking, and, of course, eating.

...And another

Last weekend we travelled north of Dallas for another TKD tournament. It was a great venue and had alot of fun with all of the families from the school. Ty won a tiebreaker for 3rd place in forms.

Another TKD weekend...

This weekend we had two fun TKD events.  Tyler got to participate in his school's instructor demo at a local festival (Tomball Night) and then the next day we had an "in-school" tournament at the school.  For the first time, both Megan and I (yes, I'm training now too...it's a great bonding time with the kids) got to compete.  Everyone did great and had a lot of fun.

Here are the pictures (linked) and the video from the instructor demo (they were supposed to be on the stage, but there wasn't enough room).
