Rey won first place in all the event he tried out for in Colorado State Championship, United States of American Taekwondo National Qualifier.
Rey won 1rst place for Poomse, 2nd Place for Sparring, 2nd Place for Weapons, and 3rd Place Breaking.
2nd Place for Sparring, he sparred with a 11 year old National Champion. He missed by 3 points.
2nd Place for Weapons, the kid was 3rd Degree Kung Fu with amazing jumping skills.
3rd Place for Breaking, ahem, very unorganized situation. It took 2 1/2 minutes to complete.
Since he had the highest points accumulated from Poomse, and Sparring he won the Grand Championship Belt. This was the 2nd Series of Tournament in Colorado. Last year he was the Grand Champion too, so this is his Repeat Grand Champ status. His Colorado friends are already calling him 3peat Grand Champ.
School and Church are still the same.
March 2013 was a day a mother, Grandmother in my case, will never forget. Why? Because this was a day when my Grandson got his first kiss. Oh sure, he had plenty of kisses for older girls, but they were just that, from "older girls".
Girl: Reyyy!! You're here!! Reyyyyy
---got big squeeezed hugs from the older girl---
Rey: No idea what to do, but all starry eyed because this girl was hugging and kissing him.
Girl: Finished hugging and kissing Rey.
Rey: Dumbfounded by just being attacked by a beautiful older girl, runs to his Grandpa.
Rey: "Grandpa, a girl just kissed me! Right here! (Points to his forehead) Grandpa? You might not want to kiss right there just yet, she might have cooties.
Grandpa: Laughs and hugs Grandson.
