April 2016 - Oakes

This month Ava started the Miss Idaho Little Sister program.  She is so excited to participate in this program again.  She is looking forward to meeting her new big sister, and also finding new community service projects to do.  Love this girl! 

The girls had orientation at Wahooz and were released afterwards to play games and run around with friends.  While Ava spent time with her friend Brighton, the boys and I played some mini-golf.  Today was probably the hottest day of the year - but we had a blast.  Carter liked to hit the ball once, and then pick it up and drop it in the hole.  I think we'll have to work on that one.


On April 13th, Brycen turned 7!  He was totally spoiled with presents from us, Grandma, Paka, Nana & Papa.  It was a great birthday celebration together!


Brycen also tested for the next belt level in TKD.  He was a yellow belt and now he is an Advanced Yellow belt.  To pass, Brycen had to break a pine board with a side kick.  Despite all the practice in class and at home, he was still nervous.  But, it only took 2 tries and he did it!  I am SO proud of him.  This program has really helped his confidence, balance and focus. 


Carter continues to be an awesome kid too.  He loves to be outside, and this weather is perfect.  It has been so warm already.  We love to go to the park with friends and jump on the trampoline outside.  This sweet boy is a bundle of energy.
