Karate Promotion

Yesterday was DJ and Doyle's karate promotion. We had DJ convinced that he was getting one stripe on his yellow belt. He was excited that he was moving up to one stripe.

He didn't know it, but we had already been told that he was jumping up to his orange belt!!!

Neither Doyle or DJ knew it, but Doyle was jumping up to a yellow belt. DJ was NOT happy about that. He wanted his dad to only get one stripe! :)

Here are pictures from the promotion ceremony:

When DJ was asked to take off his yellow belt, he was confused. Master Amen then asked him if he wanted to keep the yellow belt or get a new color. DJ was quick to say "a new color!" He looks confused, doesn't he?

DJ "reading" his certificate. I even overheard him say "mine says the same thing of yours". Funny thing is, he can't read!

The new Yellow and Orange Belts!!!
