Aikido Class Begins...

Since T-Ball ended Sasha wanted to get involved in something in the Martial Arts area, so papa searched and he found a place in town that taught Aikido Martial Arts which is no violence and it's not one of the kick, punch martial arts. So Sasha signed up and he has had two classes. He loves it and has already learned several techniques that could help in defending himself. He has about 6 other classmates and they all seem to get along. What a wonder group of friends that Sasha has now in his Aikido class.

Sasha's Vegtable Garden

Sasha wanted a big garden this year so we decided to cement off an area of the back yard that we could plant more than just 1 or 2 tomatoe plants and some peppers, so we did as Sasha wanted and planted 6 tomatoe plants, 4 pepper plants, 3 eggplant plants, 2 squash plants and 1 cucumber bush plant. We got a late start since Easter was late this year and the weather just stayed a little cold for a while. But we finally did plant and so far everything has grew and looks very healthy.

Mowing and having fun at church picnic

Oklahoma Vacation

In June we took a vacation to Oklahoma, yes it was our yearly Star Trek Convention vacation. We had lots of fun and did more than just Star Trek. We went to the waterpark, a very nice flower garden, Planitarium, museum, baseball game and some shopping at the mall. The one thing we do not do on vacation is "Rest". We are busy from the time we wake up until the time we get to bed. We try to see as much of a town as we can while visiting it.
