Taekwondo: "The Way of the Hand and Foot."
The past few weeks I've been trying to secretly take little videos of Cole during class, but it's a little hard when there are so many windows. I try to do it without being obvious so I don't distract any of the kids in the class or annoy the multi-degreed black belt instructors.
Nathan said that when the Karate Kid movie originally came out he wanted to take karate so badly...But was sadly never able to do so. He says he wished he had because the flexibilty aspect of it would have helped him in other sports but, I really think he just wanted to wear one of those head band things like that dork Daniel-son. He couldn't resist buying the movie the other day at Target. It was only $4...Shocker!!!
I found this picture online and Nathan was all excited because he had this same poster on his wall for years as a kid. He said he put athletic tape over Ralph Macchio's eyes because he was freaked out that they followed him every where in the room.
Once again...DORK!!!
Our own little Karate Kid...And a Pretty Princess, of course!
This is Brooke's first day and Cole's second day.
Brooke was a little bit nervous but so very excited to finally get to go to school. 
It's unbelievable how big they look. When did that happen?
Nathan purposely worked 3rd shift and got home just in time to be a part of Brooke's first day of school. He normally gets to work by about 6:30 am.
I think Cole was just as excited about the fact that Brooke actually had to go to school, too.
Brooke was walking ahead of all of us way before we even got in to the building. 
When I dropped some supplies off at Cole's class, Brooke started pulling Nathan down the hall to hurry to get to her class.
She barely gave me the time of day for a quick picture in the classroom. I didn't want her to cling to me, but once she didn't care at all...I kind of did.
Turns out she didn't really need me at all. We were in shock at how easily she went. Nathan had to drag me out of there and kept telling me that she was fine. We were just so darn proud of her.
I didn't get a phone call, she didn't cry, she didn't have an accident, she wasn't shy...She just absolutely LOVED her first day of school!
Nathan and the kids decided to surprise me with a special dinner at our favorite restaurant...Fuji Yama. Sometimes we call it For Your Momma. It is this fabulous little Japanese hibachi place that is soooo unbelievably good. Soup-good, salad-good, chicken-good, steak-good, shrimp-good, rice-good...Mmm Mmm GOOD!!! I want some right now just thinking about it.
