D-O Star Wars Lego Build

T got this with some of his Christmas money and had it built in no time. 

New Uniform!

T got two new uniforms for Christmas one of them had the print on the wrong side of the pant leg so we had to have them do another uniform for him. He got to wear it tonight for the first time😁. #taekwondo4life 

Great Teaching Today!!!

This is a must watch!!!  Absolutely loved watching this teaching. 

Someone’s Getting A Stache

The boy is going through puberty at warp speed. Growing and changing all too quickly. He has grown 3” this past year and still growing like crazy. Getting hair in the down there, armpits, and now he’s starting to get a stache. So not ready for all these changes. They are happening all too fast 💨. I only noticed when he was close to me tonight but still😳. #myboyisturningintoaman😢

T’s Goals for 2021

As far as training: 

In talking to T  about his goals for this year he rattled several things he wants to work on. His top three goals are that he wants to work on canceling and following up stronger/better, he wants to work on speed and accuracy with his techniques, and he wants to work on overall strengthening his body, especially his knees.

As far as Tournaments:

T has said he wants to win Gold at the big tournaments (US Open, Pan Ams, Nationals) should they be able to have these tournaments.

AAU TaeKwonDo

Happy Monday!  The New Year is a time to set GOALS!  What Are Yours?!  #WeAreAAUTKD #AAUTKDStrong  #newyearnewgoals💯

They have also posted about 2021 Nationals. Here is that information:

T is so excited that something is actually on the calendar for this year. It gives him something to work towards. 

The coaches are so ready to kick it up to full speed ahead with training and so is T. He’s praying and hoping his knees won’t give him too much pain so he can train to be at the top of his game when competition resumes. 

It also looks like US Open may happen sometime between March-May timeframe. We are so excited to see that things are getting planned again. We love watching the competitions as much as T loves competing. 

We are praying for safety for all the kids who compete and their families. We are praying for health for all who will be involved. We are praying for this pandemic to come to an end so that we can go about living our lives as normal again. 

So much to look forward to in 2021. So much to be thankful for coming out of 2020 too. #makeaplansticktoit  #keepGodatthecenter 

NexGen Zoom Training

Today is T’s first day doing some sort of kicking since the diagnosis of the Osgood-Schlatters. He’s just going light trying to see what he can and can’t do with the pain. He’s doing better than I had expected so I’m glad about that. We keep doing the protocol his doc gave us with him. It’s not going to make it go away entirely but it will help the pain level be a lot less so he can continue to do what he loves. 

Better Late Than Never

The boys finally did their ginger bread house today. 

Of course now that it’s done T wants to eat it...LOL! 

Final Moments of 2020

Getting ready to say goodbye to 2020!  Excitement is building for 2020 to be in the rear view mirror. Looking forward to all God has in store for us in 2021😁. 

T’s New Outfit

This is the new outfit we bought for T for Christmas. It fits him perfectly. Not any growing room. I figure he’ll need more clothes in short order with the way he’s growing...LOL!
