Many of you knew Laine was in karate these last few months! It has been the neatest thing for Laine! He's learned A LOT about respect, honor, self defense, etc. He completed a few months of karate and graduated now into the orange belt! They had an actual belt ceremony that we attended, and I was a PROUD MAMA! He did GREAT! We plan on starting orange belt after the first of the year! He's definitely interested enough to continue! Opa & Oma got him his uniform for Christmas. In the beginners or white belt, it wasn't a requirement and I hated spending the money on a uniform if I wasn't sure whether he'd like it or not! We're very proud of our orange belt son! WAY TO GO LAINE!
Waiting patiently for the ceremony to start with his buddies.
The spectators! :) Benjamin was standing behind my dad.
Beginning the ceremony! Notice Laine in the bright yellow shirt and the ONLY child there without a uniform! :)
Removing the old white belt.
Tying on of the new ORANGE belt!
Congratulations hand shake from his instructor.
Shaking hands with one of the owners. Also an instructor.
Ezra digging through Oma's purse. Funny story. Mom had eaten at a Chinese restaraunt earlier that day and decided to keep her fortune cookie, as she knew that she'd be with her grandkids that night and that one of them just might want that cookie. Well, Ezra saw the wrapper sticking out the top of her purse and begged for the cookie, naturally! After finishing the entire cookie, he thought he was on to something by finding the first treasure and thought perhaps there might be another treasure in there somewhere, so he proceeded to dig through Oma's purse, but mom told him there was literally nothing because she knew there was no gum, etc. Ezra wouldn't take no for an answer, and SURE ENOUGH, he found ONE measily little mint at the very bottom of the purse and had the biggets grin on his face when he pulled it out of her purse! Little stinker! :)
Very proud parents after the ceremony!
We all finished the night out at Barro's Pizza to celebrate! It was such a great night!
