T’s New Digs and Shoes

T is one sharp looking Dude!  We have had a death in the family plus it’s Easter weekend so he’s all set for both.  He sure cleans up nice. We head to Kentucky tomorrow so that we can spend time with the family in this time of loss. Scot’s Aunt Sandy passed away. She loved the Lord and is now with Him. She will be greatly missed but we all know she is in a much better place. RIP Sandy!  We know you and your son, Mike Jr, are reunited now and enjoying being with the Lord together. You may be gone but you won’t be forgotten plus we will see you again one day!  

Scot’s 50th Birthday Video

50th Birthday

Here’s Scot’s reaction when he came home today:

His reaction was to this:









One of Scot’s faves. 

Now all he needs is Creed ll and he’ll have all the Rocky movies. 

He wore this to dinner tonight at Kanki. We were surprised he chose that over Bonefish Grill. 

Our silly son and his expressions while waiting to be seated at Kanki. 

T picked out these candles. 

And last but not least here’s a picture I put together:

Scot’s 50 Today!

We are all set for when he gets in from work today. Spent the morning taking care of everything for his milestone birthday. Looking forward to celebrating tonight. We thought he’d want to go to Bonefish Grill but tonpur surprise he chose Kanki. Either is a win in my opinion. Both restaurants are awesome!  

Carrot Cake is his favorite!




T is going to have him wear the t-shirt and the button that’s on the Birthday bag when we go out to eat tonight...LOL! I know I know, what goes around comes around. It’ll be my turn in November when I turn 50...LOL! 

Happy Almost Birthday To My Man

Tomorrow Scot will be 50. He makes 50 look good! We can’t wait to get home this evening to be with him and celebrate his birthday with him tomorrow. He’s such a great husband and father and he deserves to be celebrated. 

Another Sunday of Training

T has trained hard these last two weeks in Matthews. He is still going to be training hard at home as well. We are working on trying to do some FaceTiming with his coach while he’s home. We’ll see if we can actually work that out so T doesn’t lose the momentum he’s gained these past two weeks. Here’s a short video. 

A few training pics

Here are a few training pics from earlier this week. The first one is with his buddy Chris. T really looks up to him and thinks the world of him. They both train so hard. 

So much to think through

We are having to think through so much in the short period of time we have left before Nationals in July. There’s a lot on our plates to make decisions about and we are praying through them that we make the best/right decisions for all that needs to happen. Life is so crazy and we want to put our best foot forward in every area of our lives and in all do. God has been so faithful in opening up the doors he wants is going through in regards to T. Where we are today and where we have been in regards to his training and competition schedule has been a direct result of doors that were opened up last year. We were so blessed by God to have had an incredible woman be part of our lives even though it was shortened by her passing. God brought her into our lives at the right time. It was knowing her and her influence that impacted T and where he is today as a TaeKwonDo Sparring athlete. So be praying with us and for us as we have major decisions to make in the months ahead. Most of which are timing issues. Others of which are making life changes that will help make T’s training schedule easier for us to maintain. Lots going on in our lives and we aren’t missing a beat while we plunge forward with our young athlete. Please just keep us in your prayers. Life is crazy but I wouldn’t trade a moment of it because even with its ups and downs and craziness it’s such a blessing to watch our son grow and learn so much in this sport. Y’all stay blessed!
