I Know!!! It's Been A While! (Sorry ...)

OK let us have it! But in our defense we've been REALLY busy! So busy in fact that I'm just going to address these pictures! (Cuz I'm so tired that I don't even have the energy to attempt humor!)
The kids are still very into TKD. They went to State Championships. They both did very well and we are so proud of them. And they both placed high enough to go to Nationals this summer but they are in Texas and so we're not going this year. BTW Eli is getting tougher all the time! This kid hit Eli illegally straight in the nose about 4 times (not exaggerating) and even though he cried each time, he kept fighting and took this kid into overtime. Well Done!!!!!
After they were all done we all went out to eat! Here are some of the kids in their TKD school.

OK so the work on the interior of the house has slowed down as of late. Ever since the weather became nice my time has been spent in landscaping projects. Trust me ... the outside looks way nicer now! But the master bedroom is slowly being worked on. I thank my wife for showing patience in getting moved in here!
This is what it looks like to smooth out the newly re-done ceiling. Once I finish it then we can paint the ceiling and walls, then sand and re-surface the floor, and lastly re-wire the room (because it is SOOOO jacked up). Then we can finally move in.
We also had a birthday party for Grandma Potash. Due to the birth of Lara's baby boy Hunter we now can proudly say that here our family has a 5 generation photo!!!
What a cute girl!
A good time was had by all!
Grandma seemed to really enjoy the day! And the weather was perfect for her birthday.
Ness did Ava's hair "old school" curly. And even though the product the next day was very impressive, Ava did not seem to be too enthralled with the method that night!
Here are our two angels the night before Easter!
We invited many people over to our house for Easter. After service we had a nice meal followed by a HUGE Easter egg hunt. There were 250 eggs out there to find, and Bailey even dropped one in my lap last week! But those kids sure did their best to find each one.
I love this photo!
See? Big changes. And there are even more changes now than there were when this photo was taken! But if you want to see what's been done, just compare this photo to our picture on top of the blog!
And the rest of the blog will be to show how the Conderman's roll. All four of us took belt tests yesterday and passed with flying colors!!!!! So we are all now "Green Tips" - the intermediary step toward green belts.
Look at the form! Eli has really excelled in forms.
Here is a fantastic picture of Ness kicking my butt. Of course I let her do it, right?
We all broke boards at the end.
Ness did great too!
Ava broke boards too I promise!
Here is one formidable family! Give us a couple years and nobody will want to mess with us!
So I apologize for not posting earlier. We will try to do better but for now realize that all is going very well and if you don't hear from us for a while it is only because we have no tails left as we will have worked ours off!
