lil champions...

Last Saturday, Skittle & Jellybean had tournaments. This was the first time for both of them to compete in a big competition, it was very exciting. The bad news, they overlapped each other so we had to divide and conquer. We started the day at the TaeKwonDo Oregon Open where Skittle was competing in 2 events, Forms & Board Breaking.Skittle gets distracted pretty easily and in the middle of his forms, the announcer guy started talking over the loud speaker! Skittle paused but, got right back to it...that's part of learning mind focus, hee hee. Later in the day, he did his board breaking, he had to punch through 5 boards (usually he only has to do one!) He did great!He walked away with 2 medals but, what's more important is he walked away with more confidence and a renewed excitement for TKD. Skittle will be testing for his Black belt this November...we're in the final stretch! Way to go, Baby! AND... the Demo Team from his TKD School took home the First Place banner (big honor) even though the music guy royally messed up the music! LMAA ROCKS!!!!

Hubby left the TKD Open early to take Jellybean to her Mini Nationals (he also took her biggest fan, Gummybear). She did fabulous...
Beam= 9
Floor= 10
Vault= 10
Bars= 9
She was pumped to be there! She kept telling everyone that she is going to be on "the Big Team" someday, after she practices more...LOL! You GO GIRL!
