Boys receive their yellow belts!!

And the day the boys have been waiting for......geting their yellow belts. This smile brough tears to my eyes, because he was so proud of himself.

One more happy boy!

So proud of my lil yellow belts.

Yellow Belt Test

What a big day for the boys as they tested for their first belt. The Yellow Belt. They both had worked very hard and were ready for the test. There were 3 judges and they performed perfectly. Both boys did each task correctly the first time they were instructed to perform. It was a very proud moment for this Mommy because all I could think about was 4 yrs ago I had no idea if they would even be able to participate in sports. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Austin and Colby, we are so proud of you and look forward to your next test for your orange belt. Continue to work hard and one day you'll be testing for your black belt.

We love you!

Colby excels in Tae Kwon Do

Colby has been the most excited about starting Tae Kwon Do. He really puts forth a lot of effort each day and practices at home every day as well. He was so proud when he earned his stripes on his white belt but his focus has been on getting his yellow belt. Colby and Austin are the youngest in the class and the only 4 year olds taking Tae Kwon Do. They go 4 days a week for 30 minutes each. We go right after school and it's actually a great way to burn some of their energy.

Colby doing some of his blocks.

No one wants to mess with this tough guy

Awesome kicks

I love these pictures of Colby

Colby continues to work hard and I know with his determination he will do extremely well when he tests for his yellow belt.

Austin begins Tae Kwon Do

We have been discussing getting the boys involved with an activity that teaches discipline, respect and also an activity that requires them to focus and practice to become better. We decided on Tae Kwon Do. Austin is doing really well and we love that Master Son requires respect and discipline.
Austin has really excelled in his kicks

We are looking forward to Austin's first test for his yellow belt.

Snowman

I was so glad Pat was home this year for our annual snowman. Last year it ended up looking more like a girl so this year we hoped to make it a boy. Colby was torn on whether to put the snow on Daddy or the snowman
Daddy starts to create the master piece

And the final result

yeah even Mommy got in the picture. We just kept our fingers crossed that the deer would not eat everything off the snowman like last year. Deer love Oreos!

The boys were very proud of their snowman.
