Where is Danica?

Danica likes to hide when it is time for bed.

Hapkido Uniform

Leslie is doing well in Hapkido. Her teachers said she has a lot of talent. She test for her first belt in April.

Crazy Hair Day

Last Friday was crazy hair day at school. I used some crayola paint markers to paint Leslie's haor and then we just put it up and stuck pipe cleaners in it.

HAPKIDO

Leslie has a new adventure. She is taking Hapkido classes twice a week at the community college. Hapkido is a martial art of self defense. It is a bit out of her element, but she is not giving up. She is afraid of getting hurt, but I told her she will be okay. The board breaking has her a little scared, but she will not have to worry about that for a while. I have posted several videos. This is only her fifth class. She will get her uniform in a few weeks and will be tested on her first belt in a few months. She has to memorize teminology and a few moves for her first belt. Between this and dance she is pretty busy, but as long as her grades stay up Nephi and I think it is great for her.

The first videos show a few of the million warm ups they have to do before even starting to do routines. They also have discipline rules they have to shout and one of them is obedience to parents! My favorite!!! I know it is killing her to say it! haha.

Look what Santa brough me!

Santa brought Danica a ball pit. She Loves it! She yells "Ball pit!" and jumps in it. Here is a picture of Leslie and Danica on Christmas morning.

Sombrero

My sister and her husband take off for Mexico every November. Tami always asks everyone what they want while she is south of the border. Leslie was dead set on getting a real sombrero this year. SO that is exactly what Aunt Tami brought back. It is actually a charo (sp), which is just a fancy sombrero. It is hanging on a wall in Leslie's room, but she would like to wear it to school. I don't think it will fit thru the door. I should have taken the picture on a different colored wall, but oh well. You get the idea.
