All the usual suspects gathered for JJ’s Taekwondo/Korean themed birthday party on Saturday at noon. Another amazing cake with a green stripe belt in honor of JJ’s promotion that his mom created.
Two pros helped all of us tie our belts.
JJ showed me his moves.
The food was Korean themed.
JJ enjoyed opening all his presents and he didn’t forget to thank each one of us for his gifts.
There was a high kick contest! I won for low kick!
Last but not least, our Taekwondo pro taught us the 14 moves he is tested on. Everyone was a good sport but none of us got a prize for doing this correctly.
We had glorious sunshine and blue skies for our celebrations.
We moved on to our home for dinner and another birthday celebration.
We celebrated Andrew and by the way, he won high kick earlier in the day!
The weather was beautiful and there was a lot of fun playing ‘tag’ out doors.
We slowed down long enough for a family photo but then played games into the night. We all met up at church on Sunday morning and Addy played a special number during the service, Unashamed by Matthew West. I’m adding the chorus below.
I’m unashamedOf the gospel of Jesus ChristAnd the truth that changed my lifeFor the name above all namesI’m unashamedAnd I will live my faith out loudTake a stand and stand my groundFor the One who took my shameI’m unashamed
After church we all went to our own homes. For some that meant 5-6 hours on the road. Another wonderful weekend celebrating together. We don’t take that for granted.
The weather on this Monday is supposed to be unseasonably warm. We have a couple teens coming to help with our windstorm yard clean-up!
I hope your weekend was good and peaceful and that your Monday is starting out well.
