Jessica's Birthday

Ok, So here are some pictures and some videos of Jessica's 10th Birthday. She had so much fun. The Tae Kwon Do Demo team she is on performed at the party, and it was awesome. We all need to thank Papa Dave for the pictures and videos, because I was slightly overwhelmed and running around like a chicken with no head, and Jason was helping out and keeping the kids busy, and Papa Dave was snapping pictures left and right.



The day started out with TKD classes for Jason and Jessica, followed by Jessica's Demo Team practice, and then Jason and Jessica both tested for their yellow belts and PASSED!!! Finally it was time for the party to start. So here is how it went...

It started out with a game of Jessica Says ...

Followed by a game of "Jump the Targets"...

(Look at Jessica's form on that jump!)...

Then came TKD Limbo... (Is it just me, or is Jessica looking a little lost here?)

Then it was time for her and the Black Belt World Demo Team to perform. Papa Dave was really looking forward to this one...(They all waited so patiently for her to come out of the restroom...She Was Changing...Sickos!!!)

I haven't been able to add the video of the demo yet, but I will keep working on it. Hopefully it will show up here soon, or at least a link to it.

Then she got to cut the cake...WITH A SWORD!!! My nickname for her is Ipo (pronounced eee Po like the kung foo panda, Not eye poo, like Pops thinks.) It means sweetheart in Hawaiian. (We later found out from Nana that it means hiccup in Spanish). So anyways, we found candles that spell out Jessica, so we had them put Ipo on the cake.

Busy Lives

I have come to realize that no matter how busy our lives get, we still have the same amount (or lack of) energy to make it through each day.

Life pushes forward with Jason and Jessica in Tae Kwon Do, and hopefully, when I can arrange my schedule, I will be joining them. Starting this weekend, we will have a very busy week up through Thanksgiving. Honestly...I am kind of looking forward to it. Papa Dave is coming into town for Jessica's birthday and will be here for a week. Jessica is excited to see him again after so long. Her 10th birthday party is Saturday where her TKD Demo Team will perform for her party guests, and she is working on a demo of her own. Monday is her birthday. I can't believe she is going to be 10. Where has the time gone? Where has my little girl gone? She is growing up so fast. Thanksgiving will be great. We will be turkey frying again this year...I love that turkey fryer we got for Christmas years ago. We will work on taking lots of pictures and hopefully have more posted soon.

Until Next Time.
Love Y'all!!
