Games, food, and bbq

This Saturday we had a houseful of people (as usual). The parents, my sis and girlfriend, and all of our great friends from the karate school came over to eat, play, and have fun. Mel and I spent the morning doing some yard projects where I got injured because she dropped a 1x6 on my foot from about 4 feet up. Thankfully the flip flop I had on saved my foot...well sort of. Alexander and Daniel had great fun drawing on the driveway with Mimi and Krystal and we even had a full out baseball game in the back yard. Ricardo and Trevor got carried away with their competitiveness...Trevor knocked his own kid over trying to get the out (Nate is 5)  then Ricardo actually dove to tag him. Seriously????!!! Grammy and P had a ball with Alexander and they even made a special trip to Menards today to buy bubbles. Alexander came home with bubbles and a ball. Hmmm! Can't say too much, P mowed our yard Saturday and played grill master. Gotta love that! Oh and I even played barber to Ricardo and Steve. Nice!

Zoo fun

Had tons of fun with my best friend Teresa and her kids. (I'm super lucky to have two best friends for the the
Past 30 years). We headed to the zoo and the day ended up being warm and sunny.

Surprise

My sis surprised Ricardo with some super fun "you're a champ" decorations. Ricardo was so surprised. He liked the tiny trophy like things on the table the best. He also got a ribbon thats a pin. He didn't wear it to karate for some reason though. Haha!

Ricardo got asked to compete in the Shodakan World Championships in September. Only 4 blackbelts in the whole country get to compete and he's one of them. We're so proud of him!
