Peace offering to Carson's teacher and principal...

Hi Mrs. Davis, Carson punched someone
Hi Mrs. Davis, Carson had an accident in his pants
Hi Mrs. Davis, Carson cut his head open and needs stitches. ...

Today's call... Wait for it...

Hi, Breanna, this is Mrs. Gardner, Carson has decided to use his scissors on his school pants. 4 times and one is in the crotch area. I'm going to need you to bring him another pair of school approved pants.

And even though he gives the school a run for their money they always tell me that he is the sweetest boy. He cares about others feelings and loves to help others.

Sunday fun-day drive up the canyon.

We have never been up this canyon so it was fun seeing things we hadn't seen before.

Carson complaining about stopping at the store...
Nadia then says, Carson if you keep a good attitude then it will be over in a blink.
Me... Nadia I want you to remember that advice the next time you complain.
Nadia... I know I should
...

Glad she is finally taking something away from therapy.
Earlier she got in trouble and I sent her to get room to think about it on her bed... Normally that results in a huge tantrum, not this time... She simply said yes ma'am and went and did what I asked her to do.

September 24, 2016 BUSHIDO

Really pretty fall colors.

These three hooligans are ready to go.

Opening ceremonies.

Nadia and Kaden (our nephew)

Love the background.

Nadia helping dad teach the group a sticks routine.

Jazmine (our niece), Joe and Nadia

Nadia is eye balling that sword.

She wants one from Busido so bad.

She has worked so hard to earn it, but has yet to get her hands on the prize.

One day baby girl one day.

Getting ready for the well awaited night lanes.

I do have to say that this year is by far my favorite year doing it yet.

Yes, I had a ton of fun last year, but this year was even better.

I got to take pictures of Joe while he was fighting each person that went through.

The game plan was that I would take a picture of the person with the flash and it would blind them so when Joe jumped out to fight them, it would catch them off guard.

It worked like a charm for the most part.

This was our first victim Amy. Her dad is the master of the style and her face says it all.

This is by far my favorite picture out of the night lanes.

"What the crap mom! You are so mean!"

Yes that is exactly what Nadia said.

This little boy was a fire cracker.

Nadia fought him earlier in the day and he knocked her on her butt.

She said, "mom, I think I met my match".

You see, everyone has always thought Nadia was the firecracker so for her to see that she isn't on the top anymore did her some good. It knocked her down a few pegs so to speak. She isn't as cocky about her skills.

Our nephew Kaden thought it was hilarious that I blinded him.

Ok, lets be honest, he enjoyed most of the day and his favorite part is the night lanes as well.

After fighting each person, Joe would stop and give them advice before sending them on to the next awaiting person to fight.
