Gino gets awarded his Yellow Belt


Lifelearner's Easter Egg Hunt




We went to the Lifelearners Easter Egg Hunt. The plastic eggs were full of little toys, each family would bring twelve eggs for each kid, and then during the hunt each child could find twelve. We had lots of fun! We also played freeze tag and a chasing game where you had to run from Zeb, Roman and Gino got buried in sand (but not their heads) and later 'Pokemon Mystery Dungeons' a game where you be Pokemon, for Roman.

Gino Tests For Yellow Belt



Right after Bounce-U, Gino tested for Yellow Belt! He passed, and did good! Yay, Gino! First is Gino doing Chong-Ji, and next his Gino once he passed!

Wyatt's Birthday Party at Bounce-U



We went to Wyatt's Birthday Party at Bounce-U, a place we had never been before. It was really fun and had a giant slide, two races, a climbing tower called Spider Mountian, a basket ball game, a tug of war game in an area called Dodge City, a practice race game, and I think that is all. Wyatt loved his gifts, too!

Lifelearners



Here are some pictures from Lifelarners. In the first, we're playing tag, me Gino, Conner, Brai, Elena, Gabriel and Julianna are in the piciture and Roman is in it only he wasn't playing tag. and in the second I am up in a huge tree. I was climbing trees and Mark and Connor were trying to see if there were any trees I couldn't climb at that park and so Mark told me to climb that tree and I did it. I have climbed it 5 times since!

The Da Vinci Experiance

We went to the Da Vinci Experiance, a traveling museam about Leonardo Da Vinci, because of a homeschooling event. It was really neat! Some things he came up with were ideas long before they were invented, like the bicycle and the glider.

Roman's First Water Polo Class

Roman is in water polo! He loves it!

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day I made dark chocolate covered raspberries and dark chocolate covered strawberries and I cut up some fruit and put down some chocolate chips to dip in white chocolate and dark chocolate. I also made many dark chocolates and one white chocolate for each of us. Happy Valentine's Day!

I Test for Red Stripe!


I tested for Red Stripe! I got a 6.5 on Joong-Gun and a 6.0 on my free spar pattern 7. I got a 6.0 on my reverse attacks, but I went with Jasmine and me and her don't really do reverse attacks well togeather and when I went with Cody when he tested we got a 6.5 so that really didn't count.

Roman Joins Swimming


Roman wants to take Water Polo, so first he want's to take a swimming class. Here is a picture from his very first day. He loves it!

Roman, Gino, and Gabriel climb on each other's backs


Visit to the park


We went to the park near our house. I rode on my new rollarblades and Roman got baried in sand!

Elena and Julianna Visit!

Elena and Julianna visit us after coming back from Sweden and Germeny! Here we are watching Meet the Robinsons. They stayed for about 3 days, and later visited for the Super Bowl. We are glad they are back!

Gino Tests for Yellow Stripe-and passes!


Gino just tested for Yellow Stripe! Here his is doing releases with Harvey, Cody's brother. Gino passes with a 6.0, which means good. 5.0 means fail 5.5 means passable if you only get one 6.5 means great and 7.0 means really great. Master Bosse almost never gives out 7.0's, and has only given them to about 7-8 people who are not even in this class and I think are all black belts. Congrats, Gino!!

Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experiance

After snow, we went to watch Walking With Dinosaurs: The Live Experiance at UNLV. It was really great! The dinosaurs looked so real, even though if you look near the legs you can see they were fake. There were Brachiosaurus, baby dinosaurs, and T Rex. The raptors were the most real though. Click above to watch a movie.

Snow Day at Mt.Charlston




We went to Mt. Charlston with the Lifelearners. We had a
great time sledding and 'surf-sledding' (standing on a sled and riding down a hill) which Ms. Rachel was quite good at. The picture above shows how fast the sleds went, Gino is flying!

Christmas Eve!


On Christmas Eve we all slept in the same bed. (with visions of sugar plums

dancing in our heads-whatever they are. Acctually we had visions of Santa and gifts and stockings full of candy) We could barely sleep!

I did my pattern (Jong-Gun, which is pronounced Chung Gun) with three other students (Cody, Jasmine and Nick) I took part in the Do-San Demo, which is an acted out fight, I broke a wooden board (movie above) And I sparred two people at once. Gino did four-direction-punch. I won two awards, Best Attendance and Most Outstanding Student!!!
