Jedi training

Every boy needs to become a Jedi and the only way to do that is to complete Jedi training. The boys were selected to participate in the Jedi training and they were stoked. Colby and Austin had been issued their capes and light sabers, so they were ready to begin the training. As you can see, there were some very serious faces.
Colby got some one on one attention from the instructor, though he totally ignored him which made the crowd laugh.
And here comes their competitor. Just how many boys do you know get to battle Darth Vader??? Austin was up first.
He put the moves on Darth.
Austin with a good block and hit.
Austin Win!!
Colby moves in to continue the battle.
Excellent hit, Colby Another good hit. Colby Wins!! My new Jedi.....Colby
My other new Jedi...Austin
It was a proud momma moment, to have two new Jedi's in our house. They were so proud of themselves and we are so proud of them.

Disneyland...here we are!

We headed to Disneyland for 3 days prior to getting on our cruise ship. We had an awesome time and the boys smiled for 3 days straight. I'll let the pictures tell our story. Colby was one of the best shooters on the Buzz Lightyear ride

Mom was the best by far We were very fortunate to be able to meet up with some of our friends at Disneyland. Joe and Pat have been good friends since college What a great way to start our vacation. Stay tuned for more vacation stories.

Green, our new favorite color

Colby and Austin are doing so well in Taekwondo. They tested for their green belts and did exceptionally well. Here are a few action shots. They were so proud to move up to their green belts
Austin can turn it on and turn it off as seen here. Colby gets into it and it has really brought him out of his shell Colby and Austin, Great job boys. We are so proud of you.
