Okay now, where were we?

Okay lone blogger, here you go. Since last post:

Karate tourney in Salt Lake (Map quest lies about trip time by the way) but here's the beautiful Temple that we weren't allowed into unless we let them baptise us. Had to get back to the tourney and watch more fights anyway - no time to convert.

Another tournament (RAGE) here in town, took 2nd in sparring.

Jackie and a few classmates had the honor of singing the National Anthem at the Shriner Circus

Started the seeds for the garden - radishes, lettuce, Swiss chard, collard greens, beets, carrots, and kohlrabi. Still need to weed the other half and put the tomato and pepper plants in as well as the front yard flower bed.

Broke down and got a new puppy - Miniature Aussie - name: Jethro Gibbs Mark Schrader.

Jethro Gibbs - from NCIS (Mark Harmon's character) Mark - for Jackie's karate instructor. The next one (we're getting an Aussie/Blueheeler mix in July) will be named Michael after Wee Wee and Michael on The Office.

Jethro was a surprise for Jax. We had actually looked at him and decided to wait for Michael to be born but we caved 2 weeks later and snuck up to Ft. Collins and surprised her when she came home from school.
