Karate!!

Jace had his promotion test in Iowa City today. He was testing to get his yellow belt and had to perform his kata in front of 2 judges (not sure if that is the correct term but you get the idea). He nailed it. Check it out!

Getting ready to go in. He is rarely nervous about this stuff. Mommy on the other hand...is.

Doing stretches.

Warming up and practicing his kata with one of the black belts.

Here it is! He was the youngest kid there by several years. They had the little ones do their katas with an older student. Jace would have been better off alone. If you watch the girl, she actually messed up several times and turned the wrong way. Jace knew his stuff though and didn't let it phase him!

Finding out that he got his orange belt!! Who needs a yellow when you can skip it and go straight to orange. Over the moon would be an understatement. He was ecstatic!

Aww. His sister hugging him for his accomplishment.

 A few pictures after the big moment.

And finally, McDonalds and ice cream. He still hasn't stopped smiling!



Congratulations Jacer!!!!
