A Pic of T at the Hotel This Morning

T’s all ready to compete at USAT Virginia. 

Good Turn Out at USAT Virginia 2019

Pretty good turn out at USAT VA. After getting past weighing in and getting credentials things have run smoother. Thank you God!!!

Update on USAT VA

Well, last night weigh in was a disaster. This morning when we got to the school for the tournament the doors were supposed to open at 8am. We stood outside until between 8:30-9 waiting for doors to open. T was supposed to be in holding at 10am. It’s 11:47 as I write this post and they are in holding but T’s age and weight division still hasn’t been called yet. Who knows when he will actually hit the mat to fight. Here’s a picture of T’s bracket:

We don’t know the first kid he’s fighting at all. He’s hoping to make it past the first and to get to fight the Thomas kid second round. The Thomas kid is who beat him at US Open. T is hungry to fight him again. Looking forward to seeing how everything shakes out in his division today. Dre is getting his first experience coaching today without his Master present. Hoping to get some great pictures and video today. Pray for both T and Dre that they have fun today, that T fights hard, and that they both come away from this experience learning something that will help them grow in this sport. Thank you to all who are praying for these guys. 

T is Weighed in for USAT VA

T made weight. He fights in the minus 30 kilos which is 66 pounds and under. He was weighing 64.3 pounds when he weighed in. Woohoo!!!  

The weigh in process though was fixing to make me loose me mind!   They were so unorganized. For this very administrative gal that was no good!!!  We are just glad it’s over and we’ve had dinner. 

Now I’m ready to get back to the hotel and I’m praying they have the Carolina Hurricanes hockey game on one of their tv stations. 

The Hydraulic Claw

T gets a KiwiCo Science build monthly. He so enjoys the builds. Check it out:

Next Tournament Coming Up

T’s next tournament is coming up this Saturday. He heads to Virginia on Friday for weigh in and fights Saturday. This time he has 8 opponents. Including him makes 9 that will be in his age and weight division. 

Life is certainly busy. There’s never a dull moment. Keep us and T in your prayers as we have a lot going on from now until after Nationals with training and tournaments. 

Mike and Popsie (Frank) after the Graveside Service at Mike's Home

Mike is Popsie's younger brother.  Sandy (who went to be with the Lord) is Mike's wife.  Thank you all for your condolences and prayers during this time of loss for our family.  It has been so appreciated.

A Few Extra Pictures from Easter 2019

Here are a couple extra pics that I was able to get of family members with our newest family member Victorie.  She's such a beautiful baby girl and we all love her to pieces.

Easter Pictures Taken at Church in Kentucky 2019

Although we hated the reason for the trip to Kentucky with Scot's Aunt Sandy going to be with the Lord we did enjoy some quality time with family.  Here are some pictures that were taken at church on Easter Sunday.
