Newsroom

Today, in Zachary’s class they will be putting on a newsroom in front of parents. Zachary is a sports reporter talking about basketball. He was super stoked to wear a tie to work. I love that the teacher is pushing this activity, it’s so good for all of them. Zachary mentioned that he was a …

Take Me Out

So, we’ve missed most of the baseball practices. This year, Zachary moves up to coach pitch.  Last night we went to our first practice and  the boy did alright.  Mommy, on the other hand, not so much.  It was freezing.  Spring, where art thou!

State Karate Championship

Laat weekend, Zachary competed in the Stare Championship in karate. It was an action packed day that  started with breaking.  He did a jump elbow, outside to inside ax kick, and flying jump kick.  He broke the first two, but missed on the jump kick so didn’t place.   He then competed in forms, doing …

Uncle Larry

It’s been a tough week. We lost my Uncle Larry, my super hero I wanted to share my thoughts that I intend to read at its funeral. Words really can’t fully describe how special he was to me.  This is my only post this week, out of respect for him.  His beautiful life needs to …

Uncle Dick

Its been a stressful week, I’m not going to lie. A special uncle went through open heart surgery on Monday.  We spent most of the day clamouring for any news. And by noon, we knew that he had pulled through and was doing great.  By the next day, he was up and eating. Dick is …

Breaking

Zachary has only once before broken wood, but he has never done a routine.  But that has all changed ladies, the boy took a class and is now a skilled board breaker.  Scary, I know. He actually did three breaks…and successfully did on his first attempt .  The best part he got the broken wood …

Kindness Matters

Last week, Zachary’s school celebrated a week of kindness matters. I love this message and am glad it is driven home at a young age. We like to tell the boy, to whom much is given, much is expected.  And by that we mean giving back. Zachary spent his week saying hello to strangers, opening …

Birthday Weekend

Last weekend, we celebrated three big birthdays:  Great Grandmom, Pop Pop and daddy. Three special people who mean the world to the little guy. The day started with breakfast being made for daddy.  The little guy couldn’t wait for daddy to open his gifts.  Why, you may ask?  Because one of them was daddy/son golf …
