I think it's only you Aunt Mar out there reading now. I know my Aunt Lorriane was reading but is now not.<br /><br />I just don't know how much time I can commit to the blog right now.<br /><br />Everyone is doing great. Hayden is LOVING school this year. I don't know what changed but he's really into it. Jax started real preschool too and has fun and is meeting new friends.<br /><br />Tim is good and still work, from home most weeks but working none the less.<br /><br />I'm great! Work is good, photography has exploded!! I'm so busy right now with it.<br /><br />We're heading to Diamond Nationals again for Hayden's karate... wish him luck!Traci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-91167906427034842232011-07-01T13:50:00.005-05:002011-07-01T14:25:31.833-05:00What we've been up to . . .Camping with 7 other families out in the wild.... well without power or running water but there was an outhouse within 15 feet :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUj1OSViSxNq5EP6_vP6o92HM3R-nR-db1zyt3OENNDw3VU8gBVLH7yCVSNYwbFG38wiQpxj-YxOKiFDwaaFnYJKP3_8MvXPNcJFrYfEE5AaKiqnDzhxEyPm42xHdgTIsGwwkxWGAbqgU/s1600/DSC_3293ALLGROUP.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We were so proud of him! He got out there and did his best and put forth effort we rarely see in class. He was even proactive in sparring instead of just blocking and bouncing as he normally does. He earned this belt, every inch of it!<br />Now we are only a year and a half away from black... or I should say Hayden is, but it is us and my father, who drive him there and sit on those benches and take him to exams, or camps, and tournament... so in a way it's still "we." We will have all earned it, Hayden will just have sweat the most :)<br />It will take him 5 month to get to single brown/black, then another 4 months to double brown/black and then it depends on him and where we are in the black belt <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">candidate</span> program progress as to how long after that. Hard to think he will be 10 when this all happens. That is still so young.<br />Just know that when he does achieve his black belt, we are having the party of all parties!!!! :DTraci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-88070465128909599752011-04-07T12:54:00.003-05:002011-04-07T12:56:14.124-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQXzmNGPYUh_QRDxSUBZtz9wObi2Hw9HIFJ9gTZXR7KKWuCIrFN7MlQ_c_QxtdRBRq74gD30SQL5iGEFsKIjiry3NwdRW-fU3qus046OIpbTIBUgGcScNXTSkh4mz-En-1666cETguTZg/s1600/_DSC1216.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQXzmNGPYUh_QRDxSUBZtz9wObi2Hw9HIFJ9gTZXR7KKWuCIrFN7MlQ_c_QxtdRBRq74gD30SQL5iGEFsKIjiry3NwdRW-fU3qus046OIpbTIBUgGcScNXTSkh4mz-En-1666cETguTZg/s400/_DSC1216.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592901803080334322" border="0" /></a><br />The Easter Bunny visited a little early this year :) Our friends had a egg hunt and brunch last weekend where the Bunny put in an early visit in his busy schedule :) The kids all had a great time as well as the parents!Traci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-19285510299853401012011-03-29T20:53:00.002-05:002011-03-29T20:59:08.813-05:00Sparring<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJWG-i-FTDcwF1V1A53swfJcN9yaT7vmClDCSdBJBVbQVnitffMkqBr6vvEQ6dSAfML5aIqtffqvVe7hXhjbk9EqINoYhXV7v7kguU5uGgpKZbgi1DloXgiOOCxRheBFExTLMpHGZOUo/s1600/_DSC1104.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJWG-i-FTDcwF1V1A53swfJcN9yaT7vmClDCSdBJBVbQVnitffMkqBr6vvEQ6dSAfML5aIqtffqvVe7hXhjbk9EqINoYhXV7v7kguU5uGgpKZbgi1DloXgiOOCxRheBFExTLMpHGZOUo/s400/_DSC1104.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589685550673802130" border="0" /></a><br />It's been awhile since I was able to see Hayden spar at karate so I took along my camera to capture a few snaps. He is so determined but also still so afraid... he's gotten really good at blocking and bouncing on his toes like a boxer but I only saw him throw 3 or 4 punches and kicks in 5 rounds. I thought with me as his mother he might be more assertive :D LOL<br />Hayden tests for his BROWN belt at the end of April....from there it will be a long road. The classes get MUCH harder and longer in between belts. He will really be tested in his drive and focus to reach black.<br />Tournament is also around the corner... last few tournaments he's come home with a total of 6 trophies so I know he will do well but he needs to up his practice time if he wants to repeat. The higher you go the harder it becomes...<br />I will be proud of him either way :DTraci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-1490810459335601032011-03-16T13:20:00.004-05:002011-03-16T13:32:52.330-05:00miscellaneous photosSo much going on again but trying to stick to my promise of a post a week(ish) here are some recent snaps of the kids.<br />Jaxson has taken to masks, costumes, lightsabers, dart guns, and swords.... like any normal boy would. :) He loves raiding his brothers room, cause that's where all the cool toys are.

It was a lot of fun and I was very popular this year... and I even charged! It is always good experience and practice. My father comes and helps out from the other side of the camera, so it makes is a fun evening!<br /><br />This year I took Hayden with because the dance looked so fun last year that I just knew he would have a blast! And he did! He danced like a crazy man and ran around with the few kids he knew. Tim brought Jax over after he got home from work and even the wee man got in on the dancing action! All Tim had to do was hold his hand and off he went. Tim described it perfectly, "like an old Tom and Jerry cartoon where the feet are moving and the body is still." It was fun to watch :)<br /><br />Again I've been busy with photos. I'm trying to only take 4-5 shoots a month so I still have time for myself and my family. It's hard saying no sometimes. But I want to still love it and not think of it as an obligation.<br /><br />So that is my share... a picture of my reasons for being. The loves of my life.... the kings in my castle... well king and princes :)Traci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-17445832814815138982011-02-03T09:59:00.006-06:002011-02-03T10:27:06.376-06:00What a week!Jaxson once again ended up at the doctors office... ear infection this time. Even the doctor looked at us and asked, "again?" Yup! We missed him :) So for the week of his birthday he sat in the house, miserable, and I worked out ways to get what I needed done for his party while confined to the house. Cleaning no problem but grocery shopping... not happening. So I found a 24 hour store and shopped at 9pm after work one night. Not ideal but it got the job done.<br />By Fri he was better but still cranky.. We went to Red Robin for dinner. (he wanted a song and a balloon) and then a game of bowling at Pinstripes. He cheered up by bowling.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2sLi0UltA_rglOh6klWbhDiHlGUcVK1NPkHSR5GGJuh_-bgvlMUi2CtdlqsV_AO5NPl9LG7r2rRjE9GDLANlSJsZZMAeR0p7vHBz25b7KJtFBLgcWqgCptX8F_BLqo-rBEE4vE6XTiE/s1600/_DSC0076.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2sLi0UltA_rglOh6klWbhDiHlGUcVK1NPkHSR5GGJuh_-bgvlMUi2CtdlqsV_AO5NPl9LG7r2rRjE9GDLANlSJsZZMAeR0p7vHBz25b7KJtFBLgcWqgCptX8F_BLqo-rBEE4vE6XTiE/s400/_DSC0076.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569495915849518978" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXs_f7oiyNDXgxv80alcw6qNmisIp5vh1oJN1tQALmiNVghWFEGziu6NM9hKZBmnOrm5lSlanrt6r-iFTlHTXCw1YiCBVH7pwDqiZwU5D_SvpdlvjHuJSfJdVCGwDdWNrDuY9jpuQjuFI/s1600/_DSC0097.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXs_f7oiyNDXgxv80alcw6qNmisIp5vh1oJN1tQALmiNVghWFEGziu6NM9hKZBmnOrm5lSlanrt6r-iFTlHTXCw1YiCBVH7pwDqiZwU5D_SvpdlvjHuJSfJdVCGwDdWNrDuY9jpuQjuFI/s400/_DSC0097.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569495923689080802" border="0" /></a><br />The day of his party was also Hayden's belt test for karate, I didn't plan that well did I?

Saw the whole Rose Parade. He had been sick a few days earlier and had been fine 2 days up to the New Year but we quickly realized at 5am New Years Day that he wasn't. He was vomiting, again and had not had a wet diaper in almost 24 hours. So since doctor offices are not open on New Years and waking the oncall at 5am just to have them tell me to take him to the ER...we just went. He was treated for dehydration, given an IV, a Popsicle, and an x-ray to check for obstructions and we went home about 6 hours later. He was such a trooper.<br /><br />Then a few days later he started complaining his thumb hurt. Long story we thought he broke it but took him to the doctor and turns out it was infected from biting it. Popped and bandaged he returned home no worse for wear.<br /><br />Then Hayden wanted a turn at the doctors'. We had some serious concerns but all ended up to be no big deal and just a lack of control on his part..<br /><br />So... as you can see we've been busy with our doctor. I do not want to see the doctor again for at least 3 weeks; till Jaxson's 3 year visit. :)Traci and Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218253973914853177noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006113984327171766.post-36619672513992414522010-11-30T12:31:00.004-06:002011-04-20T13:54:00.584-05:00New Year Resolution<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGs7A2RC2BWMFd2WwSY-jKr9WnpNPwxLKpRkkNn_6j6PUAaDAsHYOFa-FukAVp1woyna-wOw0-0k-AkddpHztRN7_AIYtdUulleKUFfWYaG8hcBoc26SamzohlYC3zBXTHYGXuCnsgUV0/s1600/DSC_1403.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGs7A2RC2BWMFd2WwSY-jKr9WnpNPwxLKpRkkNn_6j6PUAaDAsHYOFa-FukAVp1woyna-wOw0-0k-AkddpHztRN7_AIYtdUulleKUFfWYaG8hcBoc26SamzohlYC3zBXTHYGXuCnsgUV0/s400/DSC_1403.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545413412294052194" border="0" /></a><br />I am hoping to get this blog back up and running after the first of the year, even if it's just a post a week.<br />My hobby took me to a new level this holiday season.
