Can somebody be on the lookout for me in the local newspaper? The girls will be in there sometime between Friday (20th) and Monday(23rd) ....they think. When they were at the karate tournament, they took pixs of all the kids with their trophies and it is going to be in the paper. We do not get the paper and usually by the time I get to Wal-Mart, the paper is gone already. So if somebody could save it for me....that would be great!! Thanks!
This past weekend, Jim's parents and his niece Madalyn came to visit and to help out with Jim being down. We went out to eat Valentine's Day dinner at Cody's. Don't ask how the service was!! While we were at dinner, the kids all went to a karate party for 4 hours! Needless to say when we picked them all up, they were absolutely wiped out!! His parents got a new puppy and as you can tell from the pixs, he was just Bradyn's size...carried him around everywhere!! We had the unfortunate news that while they were here, Jim's dad was helping him outside and rolled his ankle off the end of the concrete and ended up breaking it! We feel so bad and Wilson we hope you get feeling better soon! Now we will have to come and wait on you!!
Thursday morning, Jim went to Effingham to have his knee surgery. He recovered "fairly uneventfully" minus some mole hills along the way. I should have had him talk to Gpa Max as to what to expect after a surgery and what to do beforehand and what not to do!! Thank you everybody for your calls and emails and to Mom and Phillip for helping out with the kids while I was in Effingham with Jim!!
Bowling was the top priority to Tyra for her 10th birthday. They had great fun; however, I learned my lesson with bowling...don't do that many kids next time unless they know how to bowl. Thank you to Kaye, Dad, and Jessica who helped out with all the kids and figuring out what to do. The kids all had a great time...and better yet...none of them stayed at our house this time!! Happy 10th birthday Tyra!!!
Decatur was the spot for the girls 2nd tournament. They had a great time, a little less nervous, but we still need to find a way to break Tyra's "stage fright." Jimissy got 1st place in form and sparring and 2nd in weapons. Tyra got 3rd place in sparring, and 4th place in form and weapons. Dad and Kaye came to this tournament and would it be right if my Dad during any event not take a nap?? Definitely not. He found himself a comfortable spot right in the middle of the floor and took a snooze and Tyra on the other hand was sitting in her ring waiting for her turn picking her toenails!!
P.S. Be watching the newspaper for an article and picture about the tournament!!!
