He's been involved in karate since 2008.
Here he is getting ready to break one board for his Yellow Belt...
And here he is getting ready to break FOUR BOARDS.

Yes, that's the Colonel helping to hold the boards in place...
SUCCESS! 
Doing his forms with the whole group...
Olivia was able to get out of work early and join in the fun...
And my mom also came...
But the real "STARS" of the night were the four who passed.
They started out together and are really good friends...
And of course, Michael's instructor, JOE, who has
been with him all these years helping Michael
learn self-discipline, self-control, but most importantly
to place God first in his life.
Joe has made a tremendous impact on our son's life and
we are forever thankful for his dedication...
A few years ago...
A look back...
Congratulations, Michael, for all your hard work!
We're proud of YOU! 
Come back tomorrow for
Something Yummy for My Colonel's Tummy! 
Enjoy your day!

    Yay Michael! That's a great accomplishment and a BIG deal! Colt (our oldest) got his black belt when he was 13!

    I know you're a proud mama today! That's a very honorable sport! 🙂

    Hugs!

    Hi Lois,
    What a nice post honoring Michael.
    Congratulations to him, that is quite
    a feat............
    Loved looking at all the pics of him as he was growing. They just grow so fast don't they.

    Now how is his foot?? After breaking all those boards you would think it might hurt a bit! lol

    Enjoy your celebration of this wonderful milestone in his life.
    Blessings, Nellie
