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 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.

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!
