Karate kicks and 3 pointers.

Earlier tonight Hamilton graduated from green belt...to green belt with a black stripe.
*[Hamilton just told me that it's called high green, and not green belt with black stripe.]
He got to show off the progress he's made, and do some sweet kicks. It was pretty exciting to watch.
He's got his eyes set on being a black belt!
Watch out!







After the many roundhouse kicks, air puches, and hi-yas! we rushed over to catch Asa's basketball game.
I'm convinced that someday he'll be pro! He had 3 shots around or behind the 3-point area [obviously I'm not up to par on my bball terms].. but he sunk each one! Sadly I didn't get it on film, but I have a feeling it's not the last time he'll pull that off.
He had the other parents cheering him on, and the other team in shock.
Go Asa!!

Basketball Season

Asa played his first game of the season on Friday night. His team is very good. Asa enjoys basketball and is very good at it. His first experience with basketball was with a coach he shot left handed. Asa followed his example and, even though he is right handed in everything, he shoots the basketball with his left hand. The final score of the games was very lopsided - 38 to 8. The coach of the other team was lots of fun to watch - always excited and happy even though they were losing terribly. After the game Asa went up to one of the players on the opposing team congratulated her on a good game and told her she played really well. So begins basketball now through the end of March.


Asa will be juggling basketball and soccer over the next few months. Should be an interesting season.
