T’s Doctor Appointment Yesterday

T went in for his Flu shot yesterday. While there he found out that he needed to get his 12 year old boosters. So the boy ended up with 3 shots yesterday. Two in one arm and one in the other. He’s still been a little sore today on the arm with the two shots. I think it’s mostly muscle because he flinched a little on the first shot. The boys had a lot going on the past couple of days between that and the dentist...LOL!  Hey at least he still hasn’t ever had a cavity. That’s great because by the time I was his age I had had quite a few cavities. So I’m doing something right when it comes to his dental care😁. 

T’s Dental Checkup

T had his 6 month dental checkup today. We found out that he has 3 more baby teeth to lose. That was sad news because we may be having to replace his mouthguard every time he loses a baby tooth and grows an adult tooth in its place. Each time an adult tooth grows in his mouthguard doesn’t fit anymore😞. #growingpains 

Our Bedroom

After the guys took care of the ceiling in our bedroom we figured everything was off the walls so why not paint and repair the walls in our bedroom. Everything is having to be done a section at a time because there’s no where for the furniture to go...LOL!  We move some furniture to one side of the room and do a section of walls then so on and so forth. Never a dull moment with us...LOL! 

We had to do a fix on this wall and it looks great. 


Remember I’m always the one taking the pictures but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything...LOL! We have several more walls to go before it’s all done. Looking forward to getting everything back in place so I can decorate for Christmas😁. 

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Happy 14th Anniversary To Us!!!  I love doing life with my husband and best friend. I’m so thankful that we get to go through this life side by side tackling the obstacles that come our way together.  Even though this year has been crazy because of all the world has being dealing with we’ve made the most of it. We haven’t missed a beat. There have been things to tackle and we’ve got ‘em done. We hear the words “good teamwork” in sports a lot but teamwork has never seen anything like that likes of us before. You rock my world Scot Neal🥰💋!!!  And even though there are moments when we drive one another crazy there’s no place I’d rather be than with you!!!  I love this song because it really says it all and I think about you every time I hear it. 

Veteran’s Day!

Thank you!!!  I am so appreciative of all of our armed forces.  I’m thankful for those who gave their lives, who have served, are still serving, and those who will one day serve our nation in the armed forces. God Bless you all!!!

Our Crazy Flexible Kid!!!

Always Something To Do!

We are in the process of getting our walls in our bedroom ready for paint. We have to do them a section at a time. We figured while everything was off the walls from our ceiling being fixed, plus we had the paint, why not paint the bedroom. It really needs it. Since this room will eventually be T’s when we do our master suite down stairs we are painting with that in mind😁. #neveradullmoment 

Another Tooth Bit The Dust!

T lost another of his back teeth on the 4th. It because loose so he yanked it right out then placed it with n my hand🙄. He was pretty proud of himself. He stuck a paper towel in his mouth to soak up the blood and just went on with his day. #lifewithaboy #neveradullmoment

Weekend Training!

T and his buddy Chris got to train with Coach Hershberger this weekend. It was good training and worth the time spent. Master Hershberger was very specific in his training this weekend. He worked on an area that T really needs work on . He is going to be doing a lot of fine tuning/drilling things with T from here in out. Fine tuning/drilling areas that really need addressing and where he is really weak.  Can’t wait for T to be able to do more training with this coach. Both of his coaches bring something different to the table and they are so very complimentary to what the other coach is doing. In the end it will make T a well rounded fighter. We are so thankful that T has two fantastic coaches. I love the different ways that both his coaches coach. It’s really great to watch and so beneficial for T. 

As we drove to Coach Hershberger for training this weekend we saw this:

We saw so many rainbows every time that we drove to train when GMaster Cann was still alive and even after she passed. Each time we have seen these the training sessions have been fantastic and this weekend kept the trend going. I love how God puts beautiful rainbows in the sky for us to see. It’s always a reminder of so many things for me. And each time we see one without fail something good always happens. It could be a small thing or big thing but it’s always a good thing. 

The rainbow always reminds me of God’s blessings to us and when I see one it  keeps me in awe of Him. I love how gracious and good God is to us even when we don’t deserve it. The beauty he surrounds us with just shows what a magnificent God He is!  My love for God far surpasses any love I feel for anything/anyone in my life. I love the people in my life immensely so you can only imagine how much more immensely I love God!!!  

I shared what I did above in order to share this...God has orchestrated every step we’ve taken with T on his TKD Sparring Journey. T has great coaches (Master Wasiu and Master Hershberger) because of how God brought the right relationships into our lives for the benefit of T accomplishing his goals with TKD.  We are so thankful for all God has done and is doing in T’s young life to help him grow into an amazing young man. He still has lots to learn but I love his open heart and willingness to learn even through the frustrations that life has thrown his way. 

He still trains everyday even though there’s no tournaments in sight for him. He wants to be ready for when competitions resume once things open up from this pandemic. 

While we are waiting and training he’s growing. Literally growing. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. He’s becoming a man before our eyes😳. We are having to buy new clothes because he’s growing out of what he has. Clothes for an athlete are expensive because they generally wear one of two brands Adidas or Under Armour. Beyond the physical is mental and emotional growth. He’s acting more like a man but still there’s the kid we’ve known still there. He’s transitioning and it’s as it should be. They are only with us for a short time then when they are grown we just hope and pray that we’ve taught them well and that they will make a positive impact in the world. That they will be a blessing and that they please God in all they do and say. 

Keep us in your prayers. We are doing all we can to be safe during this time but we are also ready to move beyond all this and for things to get back to normal. God Bless!

House is done!

It’s been a whirlwind of things going on and I honestly can’t remember if I posted but the house is finally completed. The repairs from the water damage are all taken care of and the house is buttoned back up. We are pleased with everything and are so happy to be on the other side of everything that happened with the roofing fiasco. Now to get everything back in its place and be able to decorate for Christmas😁.
