The first night that Grandma & Grandpa LeSueur we got to attend Jacob & Connor's judo belt test. Connor received his white stripe belt, and Jacob received his yellow stripe belt. They both really enjoy going to judo and the friends that they've made there.

Jacob demonstrating "breakfalls," which teaches them how to fall correctly without getting hurt

Some of the kids are able to jump over 7 kids. Connor loved being in the middle of the kids getting jumped over.

Connor was so excited for this belt test. He told everyone we saw about it for about 2 weeks leading up to it. He is so proud of his new white-stripe belt.
The boys were so happy to have Grandma & Grandpa there to see them advance.
With Sensei Dario & Sensei Jeff
These men are amazing, donating their time to this program. The boys look up to them a lot.
This is a little video clip of Jacob doing a diving breakfall over 3 kids
I saw Connor doing this at practice one day and thought he looked like a little rolling ball, so I made him do it for the video camera.
