I was just looking through some of my older pictures and came across this one of Mason for his first Easter. Amazing how creepy the Easter Bunny seems looking back on things.

Karate Kids
At a fundraising breakfast on Saturday morning, Mason and Cutler became mesmerized by the karate demonstration and joined in when invited. I think Mason was more interested because the instructor leading everything promised that anyone 6 and over could break a piece of wood. Naturally Cutler stole the show after Mason went and insisted on breaking wood as well. Here are the videos of our fearsome twosome.
Team Cutler Wants You!
Normally we don’t start raising funds for this until August, but with the lack of Team In Training we figured it is time to start hitting everyone much earlier for what will be our annual fund raiser and to reach beyond the stars when we set our goal. The past couple of years we have been able to raise a couple thousand dollars without really pushing too deeply into our pockets so this year we have decided to buckle down and set our goal at $10,000.
That’s not a typo. LLS does some amazing work that have touched our lives personally as well as many thousands of other lives out there. It seems all too often we hear of yet another friend or acquaintance that is being touched by cancer and so it is time to step up our efforts and do our very best to ensure that those stories have a positive ending like ours.
While I would love each of you to give enough to reach our goal, what I think would be even more impressive would be to grow the size of our team and have even more people join us in the effort to raise a minimum of $100 and more importantly show your support by attending the walk. So, if you are interested in joining us for the walk, mark down October 20th on your calendar.
If you want to show your support you can go to the team page at http://pages.lightthenight.org/ntx/Plano12/teamcutler2012. Here you can donate or even better, you can sign up to join us for the walk. Feel free to share the link with others to help, at the very least, spread the word of the wonderful things that LLS does in the fight against blood cancers.
If you have any fund raising ideas or just questions about what we are doing, please contact me at aaron@teamfricke.com.
Skating Progress
Cutler is starting to progress as a skater…well at least as much as a 3 year old can after just two practices. Below is a video of Cutler’s first solo skate (I wish I could edit out the overbearing parent yelling at his kid to get up seconds after he fell).
And naturally, not long after he experienced his first solo fall.
Hard to believe, that just a couple of years ago this fancy skating Mason was going through the same thing (I also wish I could edit out me asking Mason to skate backwards only to have him ignore me, must have been too loud in there).
Happy Belated Easter
The boys prefer the "funny" face over the smile
I apologize for this being late, but better late than never…right?
I hope everyone had as blessed of an Easter as we did. We woke up early and hunted for eggs, ate too much candy for breakfast and some donuts, had a great dinner with the local family, and then while lying around getting ready for bed Mason became the spiritual leader in the house. He looked at us and said that he wanted to give a gift to Jesus and we explained that the gift Jesus would like most is to lead his life the way Jesus has shown and so he then decided that we should all pray together as a family out loud. So we joined hands and bowed our heads and listened to Mason say “God thank you for my awesome life and this great house and my family” and before Mason could finish Cutler was moved to throw in “And thank you for God”. It was the best Easter gift I could ever receive to see our boys realize how good we have and who we have to thank.
Let’s Go Rangers
The boys are fired up for baseball…Rangers baseball.
Cardinals fans, please remain silent.
