Karate Tounament

We had such a fun day today at Tamara's first Karate tournament. We really didn't know what to expect, but fortunately for us, we were pleasantly surprised. The tournament was very well run, the kids were so cute and Tamara did such a great job. All the kids participated in three rounds of fights. The first was punches and kicks, the second was sword fighting and the third was wrestling. Tamara kicked butt in all three. She really wanted that trophy and she definitely earned it.

Great week.

Tamara has been doing so well this week that for a reward, we went to Vromans and she was allowed to pick anything she wanted. Lucky for us, she is only 4 and pics cute little stuffed animals. Phew! She is really into Webkins and bought herself a Webkin turtle.

Trying to decide.



Still deciding.



The turtle won.

Traditional Friday night dinners.

Friday nights have become our traditional "go out to eat" evening. I get home from work and we head on out to some very loud kid friendly place to get some grub. Tonight we went to Islands since I was craving a hamburger. Yes, I do eat meat on Fridays during lent. God doesn't want me to go hungry.

My babies.

Ok, I guess someone is hungry.



Tamara loves to take pictures.

Grandpa Pics

I picked up the kids from my parents house today and got a few pics with the Grandpa. Julianna just doesnt like looking into the camera and Tamara's smile is contagious.

Soccer game

We went to watch Robert and his team play soccer today. It was so fun because Tamara was the LOUDEST cheerleader. You should have heard her. She kept yelling out for her Papa to get the ball. She was also yelling " If they hit you in the knees, tell them NO! I couldnt pay attantion to the game becuase I was laughing so hard. I think the guy sittin gnext to me was a little annoyed, who cares, it was hillarious. I cant wait till the next game.




Tamara took these pictures.

Phoebe in Wonderland

Robert and I went to a Primere of "Phoebe in Wonderland". This is a film that was released by his new company Capitol Films. I loved the movie and I would recommend it to anyone. I dont know the release date but look for it, its worth watching.

Our Saturday tradition

Every Saturday morning after Gymnastics, we get our traditional Jamba Juice. Tamara LOVES Jamba Juice and will not let me forget.
