Popsie Swinging Timmy

Popsie helped Scot with the fence this week and when they got all done Timmy had a whole day with his Popsie and Nan getting their undivided attention. Timmy loved that!!!

Thursday we got the fence finished. Friday Timmy and Dexter got to run and play. While I was taking pictures of the fence Timmy and Dexter made a run my direction. If you look close at the first picture you will see our dog and Timmy running towards the gate. In photo two you will see them trapped behind the gate and fence. In the third photo Timmy is trying to get out. In the fourth one he tried to climb but realized there was no use. In the last photo you see a defeated little boy because he couldn't get to the outside of the fence. But I'm a happy mom because the dog and Timmy are safe from our 55 mph road way.

Timmy's Birthday

Timmy's birthday is coming up in May and we just ordered this for his birthday. We have already bought the toy story helmet and knee pads for him to go with it. He is going to be sooo excited.

More on fencing

While Timmy was at preschool the guys got the wood post cemented. That was the best time to do that because Timmy would've wanted to be right there helping had he been here...lol.

All ready for preschool

Got Timmy ready for preschool and he came in and told me that this was his rocket ship.

Tim's 2025 Accomplishments!

Tim had a huge year in 2025, moving through three weight classes. He began in the 61 kg division and finished in the 71 kg division, with the June weight category update shifting the weight classes. Despite all the transitions, Tim made tremendous progress. He earned 4 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals (6 Silver finishes) & 3 Bronze Medals (4 Bronze finishes) - which were his 1st USA National Level Medals. To top all that off he is the record holder for the snatch & total in the Youth 71kg division for WSO Carolinas. A standout year filled with growth, experience, and momentum for Tim.

Heaven Gained a Hero Aug. 16, 1935 to May 16, 2024 - 88 years old

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Pop (Franklin Eugene Neal) was born in Ashland, KY. He graduated Thomas R. Brown High School and was a proud Army National Guard Veteran. He loved cars and working on them. He loved racing them with his boys, Jeff and Scot. He could fix just about anything. If he didn't have a tool for something then he'd make it. He valued family above everything. He loved traveling and going to amusement parks with his kids and grandkids, especially Disney World. He will forever be missed and forever be in our hearts! (this is not his official Obit)
