Continued from last blog

We also went to my brother Asa's baccaloriate. I probably completley destoyed the spelling of that word but oh well. It's a ceremony his church has every year to honor the high school graduates. You can tell Brandon is so thrilled to take this picture. Also here is a video of Jelly Belly in his new shoes for the first time. He does look a little bit like a mini woodsman. In this video he reminds me of Forrest Gump in his "special shoes". The other pic is just Bubba and Daddio hanging out at the park trying to climb fences again.

Just had to add a few things to our blog. Last weekend we went to the beach with my brothers, sis, and my nephew. Kickboxer didn't get to go because he had to go back to work. La-loser. Just kidding. Anyway, we had a blast.

The Offer Was Made...

So a few things happened within the last three weeks that are worth blogging about. Three weeks ago we went to a local fight promotion called Chaos In The Cage. It was here at our local fairgrounds. No one I knew was fighting, but they had a special guest named Joe Stevenson. He is a UFC fighter. So we went to meet him and check out some of the local talent. I wasn't too impressed for the most part. A couple of the fighters were pretty good though. Joe Stevenson was really awesome and we were able to get a picture taken with him. We also met Herb Dean and Larry Landless who are two officials that ref for the UFC. Overall it was a really good time.


I've been able to do some more grappling and sparring recently. At Muay Thai on Friday I sparred a guy for three rounds. He told me he hadn't sparred in a few months so I told him we'd take it really easy. That was the plan anyway. Then one of the boxing coaches and Pan (my Kru), came to watch and were egging us on. So the guy popped me square in the face. It was a nice shot, but didn't hurt too much. So I decided to turn it up as well. So it started escalating of course. I started jabbing the guy out and hit him with a couple of hooks. Then I started hitting some leg kicks and knocked the guy down a couple of times. It was fun!




Oceanbaby got a pink 8GB ipod nano this week. We have been converting all of our music to itunes and getting tons of music put on there. She is really excited because we can buy an arm band for her so that it is easy to use at the gym. Her most recent MP3 player did not have an arm band or anything like that, so it made it hard to carry around. We are also planning on getting a stereo in the jeep that she can plug the ipod into so we can eliminate the giant CD case.

And lastly, we put an offer on a house! We love this place and we could afford it too! We are hoping they accept our offer and that everything can go through. This house has been in and out of escrow with other buyers and we have had our eyes on it for a while. It fell out of escrow again, so we jumped on it and made an offer. Se we are keeping our fingers crossed. We'll keep you updated!
