My mom's sister passed away on the 21st. She was 80 years old. She'd been suffering with health issues for right at a year and had gotten considerably worse in the last couple of weeks prior to her death. They are having a Celebration of Life service for her on the 29th. Although she is gone she will never be forgotten. I spent most of my childhood visiting and staying with her and my cousins during vacations/holidays/summer breaks from school. And even though my family has their issues there's one thing that never changes and that's that we love one another faults, worts and all. We may be a bunch of hicks and crazy at times but you'll never say we are boring...LOL😜😂! RIP Aunt Joyce!!!
Welcome to our blog page. This is to keep you updated on how God is blessing us. It's also to have one spot where our family and friends can see what's going on in our lives. Most of the posts are of our son. Outside our relationship with God he is our world. Enjoy!

Let's Do Some Catching Up - 3 Tim's getting to meet his online friend...
Tim and Evan have been online friends since they were 10 years old. They have been gaming together for the past 6 years. Getting to meet this friend was a hug highlight while we were in PA. They got to go Go Carting and to Dave & Busters. A very fun day for them both.

Let's Do Some Catching Up - 1st USA Weightlifting Nationals...
June 17,2024:
Tim had an amazing 1st experience at USA Weightlifting Youth Nationals. Only 10 months into the sport and he did Meet PR’s of Snatch 75kg + C&J 95kg = 170kg Total. That’s 6kg above his last Meet Total. 5/6 lifts on the day. He landed in 4th place missing 3rd by 9kg. We are so happy for Tim. Tim made huge gains today. So so proud of how far he’s come in this sport in such a short time. All in all it was a great 1st time out at Nationals.

Youth Nationals is on the 17th for Tim...
Tim is so excited for his first Weightlifting Nationals soon. He has learned so much and grown so much in this sport in such a short period of time. He's not even a year into the sport yet. We are hoping and praying for gains at this National Meet for him. Currently he's got a 10th place ranking and he's looking to come up in the rankings at this Meet. He's hoping to make Meet PR's at this Meet too. This sport is so supportive of the athletes. We can't wait to get there and watch his teammates as they compete.
