So, tonight was awesome and weird. Both Kaylee and Regan earned belt advancements. So happy for them!
It was SUPER weird not to have my girls cheer-leading with me. Kaylee was out there doing her karate thing for the first time and Vivi was at her house I’m sure in bed. So I was standing on the bench (I’m THAT Mom) in the back of the gym yelling/cheering all by my self and missing my girls.
Not doing the silent rodeo with two babies was nice though…. It was just a different karate night that the last two we’ve had for Regan.
It was SO crowded and pictures and video are both encouraged. Jon had to fight for a half way decent spot to get any shots of the kids. 
She was SO loud. Loved it. She really like karate so much. She want’s to get her black belt and be a teacher.
Regan was off with the yellow belts and just clapping for his sister the whole time. He was super proud of her.
Poor dudes underwear kept sliding down. I couldn’t figure out what his wiggle deal was until he told me after. The Yellow belts did demos of getting out of peoples clutches. Regan had his back to us the whole time facing his partner. He did so great though.
Kaylee was super focused watching her brother. I don’t think she blinked once.
Then Sensei Cory had all the students sit in the belt rank/classes and the certificates/new belts were handed out.
We knew they had passed their testing, but I got super concerned when he was done calling all the yellow belt advancements up and started calling up the yellow with white stripes up. Kaylee has been practicing the last two semester with Regan at home for fun before starting this semester. She skipped a belt! I was surprised, but not as shocked as she was.
I don’t know why, but she was trying so hard to have a serious look on her face. After the initial shock you could just see her holding in a grin.
Regan walked all the way from the back row past all the students like this. I was laughing SO hard. He REALLY wanted his new belt. Yellow with a black strip skipping several stripe colors! Guess all the sparring at home paid off. 😉
Trying to get a group shot at the end was madness. All the flashes all the cameras.
And then I wanted a real quick picture with them…. we ended up embracing the crazy since looking at the camera and smiling just wasn’t happening.
But for their Daddy-O… looking and smiling at the same time. 
Then this happened. I don’t know if this is funny or gross. Regan’s face though. HAhahaha!
A kind dude took this one of the four of us. So nice.
And then we needed one with awesome Sensei Cory. Kaylee will be starting activity days half way through spring semester and so Wednesday night karate doesn’t work anymore. Sadly that means we had to say goodbye to Sensei Cory.
They will do karate Tuesday nights with a new Sensei. Not gonna lie. We are all SUPER bummed about it. We are so lucky that we got to have Sensei Cory for the last three semesters. He is so great and the kids learned and blossomed so much in his class!
On to new adventures in karate next Tuesday.
