MM: Before and After

My share for this week's Mommy Momments theme, before and after. I missed two weeks and I am now catching up. Happy Mommy Moments, guys!


Jake was 4 months old in this pictures...
and is 6 year old here. This is his latest photo taken before going to school.

Our Karate Kid

Three weeks ago, we enrolled Jacob at Karate School. We are glad he liked it the first time he attended the try out. He loves attending his Tiger Tots class with all the younger kids. He goes 4x a weeks for 30 minutes each sessions. For Eeighty nine bucks a month, it isn't bad at all. We signed up a 6 months contract with a hope that Jake would learn more about discipline, focus, respect, self control, and strong body to name some and how important these things for his growth and welfare.

In his Tiger Tots class, there are seven of then...six boys and a girl. It is fun watching them learn basic movements and have fun at the same time.

One Chilly Morning

The weather has been nice lately. I can really feel that Christmas is past approaching. Oops, wait a minute...what I meant is fall. Yes, fall is here and I am loving it. It is chilly in the morning and that is why my son wears sweater and sometimes light jacket to keep himself warm when walking to school with us. I took this one last week; as you can see, even though it was cold then, he still mane to smile. Oh how I love it when my son is in the mood for a shot.

Isn't he cute? I love that the sweater looks good on him.

Jake's Very First RainCoat

Two months ago, we all woke up one morning and saw that it wan raining very hard. Before walking our son to school, I suggested to hubby that instead of walking Jacob to school that he'd better drive him instead. But he replied saying that it was okay to walk. If that is what he wanted to do, then I will not complain. Knowing our son, he wouldn't want to get wet and have his umbrella get twisted and be thrown by the wind. And so, I let him do what he wants; 10 minutes later, they came back all wet and mad with each other, plus Jake was crying and it upsets me. Oh well, I try not to say 'i told you so' but that time I didn't care...i said it. He then drove our son to school.

Anyway, that same day, we went ahead and bought our son a raincoat and a pair of boots at Walmart for they don't have any at the mall. Unfortunately, it never rain again since. The raincoat and boots were kept in the closet. Then one day, it rained a little bit, Jacob excitedly said that he wanted to wear them as he plays paper boat on the little paddle of water in front of our house. Here is a shot I took before he finally went out and played with his Dad.

MM: Hairstyles

I didn't join this meme last week for I couldn't find pictures of Jake jumping. Thank goodness I have some for this week's theme which is "hairstyles." So here is my share.

He was six months old here...look at that cute smile... :-).He was three year old here; taken back in our old house in Richardson, TX.
Jake's longest hair when he was 4 year old; this was when we were still in VA.
He was almost 5 year old here...still in VA.
My favorite hairstyle of him; this was taken on Easter of last year .Jacob's current hairstyle; this was taken during first day off school.

No Mommy Moments Entry

This week's theme on MM is Jumping. I was sad because I wasn't able to join this week for I don't have even a single photo of Jake jumping :-(. I wonder why I didn't think of asking him to jump so I can take picture of him actually jumping. I bet he would really like hat. I better ask him so I can post a late entry. Anyway, I would just be contented visiting entries and have fun with cute kids jumping alone or with their friends, and families. Have a great weekend everyone!
