Michael's Belt Graduation

Last friday Michael graduated from Senior Brown Belt to Red belt! He's about 3 more belts until black and getting more excited each graduation. This last graduation was cool because his teacher started this thing called "Black Belt for a Week" where each week a selected student gets to wear a black belt to classes and Michael was chosen first! My mom was talking to Master Kang(his taekwondo instructer) and told him how Michael bows each morning and night to her and my dad. Master Kang was very impressed and so were a ton of parents and even students. It was fun to see how excited all the students were about being to wear a black belt as their faces dropped and they all looked at each other. We have some pretty sweet video of him that will be on here once i figure that out, but until then here's some photos. Michael is on the far left.Shots of him doing his form.

All the new red belts. This is the group Michael has started with(a few have quit) and it looks like they are going to the end. They are the top belt group of the school and have gotten pretty close.
Dani's new friend she met at the graduation.

A new hobby

Michael's new thing is to start massaging you and just when its getting good he says "any more and it costs some money". So watch out!

The Swinging Bunnies

So, here are four bunnies. And how many kids are in our family? Yeah,4. Oh, great. So that usually means someone has an idea to claim they are one and someones another. Does this only happen to us? So, here comes the fight between Cassidy and Dani. We have had this thing for a while now so originally it has been Cassidy=Bunny on the left swing, Me=Bunny in the middle, and Michael=Bunny on the the right swing. Well since then (it has been a few years since we have taken it out), Dani was born and the bunny on the left swing broke his ear. Moving on, Cassidy believes she still holds the position of the cute little bunny in the dress and Dani should be the big boy bunny on the left side with the weird hat. Dani says she is the little bunny in the "pretty little dress" because she is the "baby of the family" and that is definately the baby bunny. I guess they don't even bother to fight me for the middle bigger girl bunny because it is like a given its mine because I am the oldest and a girl plus its not as cute(and none of them want to step down and let the other win). I think the whole thing is quite funny because they are fighting over these fake bunnies on swings but it gets them all fired up when the other says something like "oh, don't i look cute in my pink little dress?" Me and Michael don't really care about the whole thing. But be and my mom think it should it should be Michael=bunny on the side, Dani=bunny on left swing, Me=bunny on middle swing, and Cassidy=Bunny on right swing. The Bunny on the right swing fits her too, the bunny has a chipped ear and Cassidy has a chipped tooth from falling in PE last week. haha. What do you think?
