Yesterday was absolutely phenomenal, but a little long :o) We got up and out to Noah's first Karate Tournament by about 9am. We had to wait awhile (2+ hrs) for it to be his turn to do his forms, but man it was worth the wait. He did his form 2 the best he ever had. Below is an action shot from his form:
Once all the Under 6 yr olds boys finished their Kata the announced the scores which he received a 7.5, 7.6 & 7.8....then they brought the competitors to the front to get their awards and while he was by far the youngest in his age group at 4 he won 1st PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been so proud of my little man (yes I was on the verge of happy tears). Below is a shot with some of his karate friends with all their forms trophies:
We waited around again for quite awhile for Noah's division to be called for sparring. He is not a fighter at this point...haha. He tried really hard, but has a little disadvantage being so short compared to his competition. They just bopped him on the top of the head and get the point. He hasn't learned to keep his high block high :o) Below is a shot of him with his 1st & 4th place trophy and his teacher:
After the awesome morning we came home to find Gramma and Aunt Mar waiting for us. The kids were sooo excited. Shortly after Nana & Pip Sicko and Aunt Shirley arrived so the whole gang was there. We visited for awhile, ate some food and got ready for the big girls 5th recital. I cannot believe how quickly time goes by!! The night was just as amazing as the morning. Kylie did such an awesome job. We are soooooo proud of how hard she has worked this year to get ready for recital. She had 6 dances and looked great in all of them. When we got home we took her hair out and relaxed before going to bed. Few aftershots of the dancing princess:
Many, many thanks to all the family and friends that shared in our kids special days this weekend. We really appreciate all the love and support!!!
