Blue Belt

Jacko all prepared to complete the sparring portion of his test.

After a summer off from Taekwondo and two months back in the saddle, Jackson tested for his blue belt this weekend.

Part of Taekwondo is showing respect and helping others. Here Jax is helping one of the younger classmates get into her sparring gear. When is this respect, focus and helping others going to show up at home?

 

 

 Check out a clip from part of Jax sparring session. His moves have really improved from last year.

 The proud blue belt!!!

We are also proud of how Jackson has progressed. He completed his test with total confidence and passed with flying colors.

While our Explorer was in the shop this past week, the dealer gave us a convertible Mustang as a loaner.  We were pleasantly surprised how much we liked the car! It was perfect top down weather all week and Steve and Ann fought over who would take the car most days.

Catie has always wanted a convertible so Dad surprised her by picking her up early from school for a ride with the top down. As you can see, she was extremely excited. After initially being afraid of the "vertible," Abster grew to love it too!
