Big boy stuff

Yesterday Timmy learned how to tie a towel around his waist all by himself. He thought he'd really done something cause he was being like his Dad after taking a shower:-).

Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh

Lots of fun was had at this place with my friend and old bible college roommate and her boys.

Scot had a business trip to Pittsburgh that Timmy and I went along on. Timmy had a chance to learn more about rugs and getting to do some hands on stuff as he learned. He luv'd every minute of it and was a huge hit with everyone. Here are some pics for you to enjoy:

Timmy enjoyed seeing Mr Barry again and learning from him about rugs.

Learning alongside daddy.

A natural.

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)
