Happy Birthday Daniel and TKD Tournament

Last night Daniel had his birthday sleepover. Three little boys showed up (one was sick and couldn't make it). I was amazed at how well behaved everyone was. Aside from going to sleep around 1:30am, they were great kids. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my camera (I finally did this morning) so I didn't get many pictures, but I did get this one...(l-r)Josh, Michael, Daniel and Ryan. It's hard to believe he's 7! Where has the time gone?

After the kids left this morning, we headed to the TKD tournament. It was just a small one, mostly for the kids in our school. It was cute. They got different medals for each event. Hannah went straight 3rd places, Jacob had 4 second places and a first and Daniel had 2 first, 2 seconds and 1 third place. They really enjoyed the board breaking, especially since they've never done it before and they're going to have to for their (the boys) next testing. Jacob was the only one in the first round to break his board...even Jett (almost a black belt) struggled to break his and didn't do so until the second round. He was pretty shocked about it.

Waiting to compete...Daniel, Quinn, Jacob, Brandon, Jett and Hannah


Master Johnson decided to surprise Daniel for his birthday. He took him in the back room to try to wake him up (he was sleepwalking through the first few events) and everyone met him at the door and sang Happy Birthday to him.

Daniel was very surprised. And he loved it.

Jacob gets last minute advice from Master Johnson (standing in the back on left) before actually breaking his board.

Master Johnson holds the board for Hannah while Stephen talks her through it.

Mike (after already breaking a board with his hand), tries to break through two boards with his foot.

He makes it through both.

And on Hannah's (hers says, "I may be a yellow belt now, but I will break you!!"

Tonight, we're going out to dinner with Stephen, Roxanne, Jett and Quinn to celebrate Daniel and Quinn's birthdays. Hopefully we can all stay awake through it!
