Jiu Jitsu Anyone?

Addison has done karate for several years simply because it was convenient location where she was doing gymnastics but we wanted to switch over to jiu jitsu and a Gracie Barr jiu jitsu place opened up and we gave it a whirl.  It was great for teaching the kids about how to handle bullies, and very clearly how to handle yourself in a defensive manner both standing and if you are on the ground.  It was exactly what Amy was hoping for, so Addison (along with Erik and Elin) have joined the classes there now.

We had the fun of having Hollands over one weekend to go tubing and hang out - the weather cooperated and we had a lovely time out on the water.  Let's do it again soon!

Working on putting their matching stickers from the Alaskan cruise on their matching water bottles!

And dressing up!  Elin, Addison and Blake

Kaleb had the fun chance to go to Top Golf for Evan's birthday - it is always fun to celebrate a friend's next year of life!

Some snuggle time with big brother - rarely happens so Mom needs to get a picture of this for sure!


Should I be scared of this masked stranger behind me?
