BROWN BELT

Christian and Master Baek
The first Saturday in May, Christian tested for his brown belt. He had to do his form, do a little sparring and break a board with a back kick

I missed the triumphant face after he broke the board...he is quite proud of himself

OCWFM Brunch 09

My good friend Amy (pictured below) and many others have helped put together a new women's ministry at church--Otter Creek Womens Fellowship Ministry (OCWFM) This brunch marked the beginning of it's second year. Several women volunteer to decorate a table for the event. Since the brunch occurred on Derby Day, my mom and I did a Derby table...
Heidi, me and Amy (two of the sweet girls of my life group)
complete with hats for everyone seated at our table:)
It was a great morning of fellowship, food and fun

life on the 'farm'

The Gator is a fun 'toy' that the kids love to play on/ride. Tex loves to drive them around
This is My Buckaroo-named after what Tex has called Christian for some time
These two can be so sweet (sometimes)

This is how Baylor gets in and out of the fence:)

The geese had babies...six that are already growing so fast

This is the last picture I took w/ my beloved camera...it fell after we got off the carousel and is hopefully getting fixed as I type. Below is my only other zoo picture of the day: Luke, Christian, Baylor and Caroline waiting for their turn
Mam-ma sent the kids some $$ for Easter and they picked out 3D Chalk. It's really kinda cool:)

Baby Levi

Michael Levi Shipp was born on April 17th!!! We love having another baby to hold and play with...give him a year or so and Christian will have a boy to play with amongst all the girls in his life:)

In mid April we were apart of the MS Walk for the second year. We walk for the beautiful woman pictured above. Hailey is one of my dearest friends and we love her, Jeremy and the kids so much!!
Demetra Kalidmos (sp?) has been involve din the wlak for many years and she brought Snow bird along to help
