Adventure

Another successful belt testing for Taeson.  He has now moved up to a blue belt.  He missed the original belt testing because we were in Hawaii, so he has this one as a make up.  It was actually really nice because there were not as many people.  We are so proud of you and your accomplishments.  Can't wait for you to be a black belt. 

My kids were the theme from "How To Train a Dragon" this year and they looked fabulous.  They had masks with their costumes, but since you can't wear them to school and they were really ugly I decided to paint their faces.  They had a fun Halloween with tons of candy and great friend to go with.  Until next year, who knows what they will be. 

I got a PR on this half marathon, for those of you that don't know what that means, its a personal best.  I finished in 1:32.  I was happy with that.  It was a very cold start and I decided to dress up this year as a smurf.  I was actually able to see a lot of high school friends too, which made it fun.  The past 2 years I haven't dressed up, so I did for fun this year.  Josh and the kids came down to see me finish, but we had to leave quick because Kaehler had a football game.  It was a fun race and lots of people.  I actually finished third in my division and the race had almost 4,000 runners, so that wasn't too bad.  Can't wait for next year. 

I had our annual HOLT Halloween party at my house again this year and it was a big success.  All the kids were dressed up and we had quesadillas and lots of treats, but then it is Halloween.  Luckily, it was still nice outside so the kids were able to play outside.  Everyone hung out and visited and had a great time.
