I finally had my belt test and got my green belt at Taekwon Do. I had break a board with my foot (Axe kick) two times. I did it on the first try each time! I had to perform my Pomse (form) in front of Master Cho. I was nervous, but it was actually very fun since I got to stay up almost all night. I also got a trophy like I always want. I have one big trophy and the small trophy that I got from my green belt. I hope I can get my nunchucks (sp?) soon.

Sam

Super Galactic Jawbreaker

I read this book about Stink and his HUGE jawbreaker. Stink is Judy Moody's little brother. He wrote a letter to the candy company to complain that his jawbreaker didn't really break his jaw, so they gave him about a thousand of them. My favorite part of the story was when he ate the jawbreaker for dinner. I thought it was really cool when I saw THIS at the airport. It looked just like Stink's!

What time is it? It's Summertime!!!

What time is it?  It's summertime....it's our vacation!

  Last day with Mr. Shaw (our bus driver).  Awwww!!
 Let's cheer for summer!
 I love to fly Santa's sleigh!  (cause I'm Rudolph)

  The last day of school with Spiderman. 

This summer I'm excited to see my cousins and go to the pool, and start piano lessons.  Summer is better than school because we never have to go to school for 104 days (I think).    By the end of the summer I hope I can do a flip off the hight diving board.   We get to go place in the summer, like Idaho. 

Flat Sam

  For a project at school I made Flat Sam (to be like Flat Stanley from the books).  We had to mail him to someone.  I picked my cousins in Idaho.  I sent Flat Sam in the mail to them and then they took him a lot of places and then sent pictures back 
   Here's a picture of my cousins Ashleigh, Brittany, and Caitley (even my cousin, Brooke who is in college in Idaho).  
  They sent me a post card of Idaho Falls where they live, and a candy bar.   Something was interesting about this candy bar...  it was made out of a POTATO!
  I took a bite.  
  At first I wasn't sure about it.  It doesn't taste that much like a potato.  I liked the chocolate. 

  My family tried it, too.  

I'm glad Flat Sam could see them in Idaho.  I'm excited that I get to see them for the 4th of July.  I hope I can jump on their water tramp (oline) and hang out with my cousins.  They have a giant TV we might get to watch.   Maybe I'll eat some potatoes when I'm there.  I want to save up for a Webkin like Caitley's.  

Yellow Belt!

I started Taekwondo and finally got a yellow belt!  I had to break a board with my hand before I got my yellow belt.  I also had to learn other stuff like my form (steps 1-10),  plus 10 steps of blocks, counting in Korean, and other words in Korean.   It was pretty hard.   I was proud of myself and happy.  I got a big trophy.   I even took it to school to show my class.  

 I'm warming up before my test.  
 After my test I got a trophy!
  Here I am at home with my broken board.
  Here I am on the trophy
 My mom made these since I got a yellow belt.
