And the winner is...


The kids had a taekwondo tournament Saturday here in Houston. Corbin had 2 incredible fights (he's the one in blue) and won both! The person most vocal on the video is a fellow taekwondo mom by the name of Missy. Missy is our cheerleader and for good reason. No matter what mat any kid is fighting on, no matter how far away, Missy's voice can carry all the way to them!

We are so proud of how far he has come in this sport. He even got in a few head kicks, though the last one was a kick to the other boys' face...ouch. He said the boy turned his head and he couldn't help it.

The second boy he fought was at least a foot taller than him but he stayed tough and did not let the heighth difference intimidate him! The most appropriate "reward" for a 9 year old? A big bag of candy and being allowed was allowed to sleep on the couch and watch cartoons past his bedtime!

Gabbie won both her fights (as usual!), but the matches were so uneven all she basically did was stand in one place and throw her long legs out every now and then!
