Tae Kwon Do

Some of you know that I did Tae Kwon Do for 6 years.


Yesterday was Master Beers last class. I went for the first time in 6 years(I don't have great equalibrium anymore since I hit my head on the corner of my closet door when I was getting out my uniform and the pain went to my surgical area. then got a huge migraine, when trying to do the spinning got dizzy and got a bigger headache every time and I still have that problem).
He was totally surprised when he saw me well he was surprised to see me and a bunch of his former students that came as well.




It was so crowded that we were squeezing in so we all can have some room and figure out who goes where since we were all black belts( see who has seniority over who.)



He went around introducing everyone telling some things about each student at one point that he was introduction everyone that he stopped and said, "I do not deserve this." then I spoke up out loud and said, "yes you do" and clapped then everyone else joined me.





When he got to me he toiled about "How remarkable I am and how it took me longer to get to black belt cause of my brain tumor.That when I gave my report there was not a single dry tear in the room and and that I am a mother now."


After he was done telling everyone who is who the class began. It was a very short class cause of how BIG the class was.




At the end we all said KAM SA HAM NED DA which meas thank you in Koren which is that is what we say at the end of each class. Then we all clapped for a good 2-3 min for the job well done that he had done well and it is obvious all of us that came are black belts and it was just not us who got the black belt we had great inspiration to make it to the black.



Then it was time for the little party.







Little bit later on my mom brought Zack. He at first was a little shy and clung on to me.






But when he realized that there were other babies he was on the go and playing with them he was a little party animal he was all over the do-jang. Of cores I was taking him to all of my TKD buddies and they all loved him.



It was so nice to see everyone again and to be able to do one last class and to be able to bow to master beers and the flags one last time. I am grateful that I was able to do Tae-Kwon-Do and do this one last time.

Elmo!!!

What can I say Zack loves Elmo!

It all started when he was 6-7 months old. when i was nursing him one morning and trying to find something good to watch on t.v.(we only have basic t.v. :P) I surfed into Elmo's World and when Zack heard Elmo's cute little voice he sat up and looked at the t.v. and grinned from ear to ear and started to cooed. YES!!! My Monkey loves Elmo!!! that was the start of it all; of loving Elmo.

For Christmas he got a little stuff Elmo and a Kiss me Elmo that his aunt Becky gave him which he loves very much.

In January Zack was playing with his smaller Elmo and he confused it with his big Kiss Me Elmo. It just made me laugh watching him trying to get his little Elmo to perform. Finally, I had to explain to Zack that his little Elmo does not do that only his big Kiss Me Elmo did.


What can I say my monkey loves Elmo,Monkeys,his blanket, chuck trucks, books, balls,passies etc... My monkey just likes a myriad of things -- he is a well rounded kid.
