Pure cuteness!
Alexander LOVES his little sister and she absolutely thinks he's so cool! Can you see the smile on her face just looking at him? I took another shot of her watching Mickey. Honestly she put her arms like that on her own. Hysterical!

A week of Nationals in pictures...
Despite my love of taking pictures I didn't get as many as usual! I didn't get any of the kids in the pool, dinners together (except one), and the multiple times we sat in the hotel lobby hanging out as one big karate family. But, the pics I did take tell a story of all of us, especially our kids, enjoying time together playing and having fun. Staying at the same hotel makes a huge difference during these events because the kids really bond and get to strengthen their friendships. It's always fun for them to go room to room gathering up swimming partners or just enjoying a little freedom from mom and dad for a few minutes. The hotel's free drinks and snacks don't hurt the parents either...haha! Mia really got to enjoy being with all the parents that truly adore her and love spending time...even the dads claimed their time with the little Princess! I can honestly say that when Nationals are over we're already planning for next year. We all greatly enjoy this time and get so much out of the bonding that occurs. It's not a vacation and it's really not even relaxing to be perfectly honest but it's beyond fun and so great to be with our friends and their kids. So here's to Nationals and all the many fun years to come! Go Shodan!

2015 Nationals
We're so proud of Alexander for his second place finish at Nationals! This is quite an accomplishment for a kid that's never competed at this level. Nationals brings a whole new level of stress and nerves because of all the people, the size of the venue, and the amount of practice and private lessons these kids put into to training. Even at 6(almost 7) Alexander spent countless hours in the dojo each week preparing. He tried really hard and has a great time which is more important than any medal! But, the shiny silver he got was great too!

Happy Father's Day Daddy
Ricardo's favorite thing in the world is spending time with his family...especially his kids. We are busy people and travel a bunch so when we get weekends together it's a pretty cool deal for us. We thankfully spent the whole weekend together and got to see our friends and family several times. When Father's Day rolls around each year I'm reminded of how great a dad Ricardo is and how much I appreciate him as my husband. No, it's not always perfect in our house but we have fun, love each other, and try really hard to instill Christian values in our kids. I'm so thankful that I have a husband and father to my kids that wants to live life in such a special way!
Dedication Sunday
Today was parent/child dedication at church. It was super nice to have our families there to celebrate us dedicating our kids and our family serving Christ.
