Belt Promotion! - Purple

Little One and I got our purple belts two weeks ago.  First was mine in the morning.  The girls we really sweet and both wanted to come watch.  I handed them the camera and let them take a couple of pictures.

Little One took forever to take this one.  I'm surprised my smile doesn't look as fake as it felt. LOL

Wahoo!  Purple belt!  One step closer to black!

I have made some of the most awesome friends here.  They are such good, good people and they help me want to be better myself.

Showing off our new belts!

Little One was going to get hers later so we went ahead and took a picture with Mr. Jade and Mr. Te.

She's all focused and ready.  Not the others so much. LOL

Look at that awesome warrior stance in her kata!

She and Josie are inseparable.

They got to be partners in self defense.

Love the smile!

She can get her leg up there for her kicks.

Always wanting to demonstrate.

I got to sit by her and give her her belt this time.  She is doing the respect thing to Mom, Dad and Ira. :)

She gave me a big hug after.

Mr. Tanner was leaving on his mission so all the kids gave him a big hug.

She is on the right-ish, in the middle with almost the tallest fist up.

Like I said, inseparable.  Her bear also got a purple belt and as such was in the picture.

Then she wanted one with Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Jade. :)
