Awana awards

Javin is blasting away in the new program that our kids are doing at church. We starting Awana's last fall on Wednesday night. He has been memorizing Bible verses and the books of the
Bible. He doing great at it. He received a special award for completing his first book. It was quite an accomplishment. The program is awesome. I am so glad we are doing it. A big thanks goes out to all the wonderful helpers that make it successful.

Way to go, Javin. It been a BIG month for Javin. Here he is with his school friend, Michael, that he brought along to Awana.

Blue Belt Javin

Tonight was Javin's big test to move up to his next level of Tae Kwon Do - from green to blue.

It was a long night of standing still and listening to instructions. And he did awesome! Here he is getting ready. He is quite flexible these days.

Here he is in fighting stance, listening to the commands he is to demonstrate(while mom flashes the camera at him). He has to be very focused and listen well. Good practice for Javin.

Then they spar or fight in pairs. Lastly, they break a board. He broke the board with a back kick.

My new blue belt champion!
