Catching Up...

It's been along time since I have posted anything, so I guess I better play catch up. Ashlee had her belt testing promotion about a month ago and she was only suppose to move up one belt(to the yellow/orange) but during testing she impressed her Sensei so much that he skipped her two belts,she skipped the yellow/orange and the orange/white,she is now a green/white belt which moved up into the advanced class. She is now learning how to spar. Her gear just came and she is the only one who has purple but when it came it she was even more excited because not only is it purple but it's a metallic sparkly purple.
In 3rd grade math you are given a 100 problem test and you have 5 minutes to complete it. You start out with all addition, then you move to subtraction, then multiplication, and then division. Once you pass all of these you take a 5 minute test that has 25 problems of each and if you pass that you are in what they call the 400 Club and you get a t-shirt. Well, Miss Ashlee took the test yesterday and on her first try she passed. We are so proud of her, she has had a difficult time in math and she has overcome her struggles and it is amazing to see her shine!
With school coming to an end we are excited but also not sure I'm ready for the next step. Now I know how my parents felt when I was moving on the High School. Yep, that's right Miss Marisa will be moving on to High School next year. YIKES!! Miss Ashlee will be moving on to 4th grade which is also crazy. That's only 2 years and she will be in Middle School!
Well, I don't know if Brad has told anyone yet,I'm sure he didn't, so I'm going to spill the beans. As most of you know Brad is also in Karate. Well, the school that he Ashlee attend has decided to get back into competing. So, Mr.Brad has decided to compete. Yep that's right,he will be competing this weekend along with the other members of the Dojo in Santa Clara on Saturday! I'm nervous but yet excited and so proud of him!
I will post pictures soon!!
