Martial Arts Mania!!

My kids have made me a proud mommy this week!! Brock and Emrey both earned their Gold Belt in their Martial Arts Class. Brock has been in the class since February and Emrey since June. They have both worked so hard and love learning new techniques and moves. To earn their gold belt they had to demonstrate to their instrctor that they knew all the curriculum they have been learning, then there was the physical requirements. They had to do 3 good push-ups, 5 sit-ups, 5 squat thrusts and then run continuously for 3 minutes. Just a little side note...they have both been sick this week with really bad coughs and stuffy noses. They only test the kids once at the beginning of each month, so if they miss one month, they have to wait until the next month....oh no, not my crazy kids. There was no way they were going to wait until January! They were so ready, coughing or not!!!
