Whew what a weekend! We found out on Thursday that Layne was going to get to test for his blue belt on Friday night. It was a diffucult testing for everyone in his calss, Grand Master Ben almost didn't pass them, but he felt that if time would have allowed that they all would have been able to do what they needed to do eventualy, so he passed them. He gave Layne his blue belt, but he is not aloud to wear it until he has his next class and breaks his board. My and Joe watch the twins fro us while we were at Laynes testing and she decided to keep all 3 of them for the night.

My sister and her 3 kids decided to come up on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day out that we took the kids to the park for 2 hours. Layne brought his skate board along and found a skate park there (all kinds of ramps for him to skate up and down on). So he has now decided that skating is his favortie thing to do and he wants a better skate board and "skater" shoes!

We got the boys pictures taken today. A new friend of ours is a professional photgrapher so we decided to take all 3 boys to the capital grounds. We got some really great pictures of them in the trees, on the petrified rocks, playing in the grass, on the state library stairs, and in front of the heritage center. I can't wait to get them back!
