T Update

Over the weekend T ate lots of  veggies and apples. Having ate so much it needed his tummy up big time. He dealt with diarrhea that led into some severe gas pains. Had him checked out and the doc said he’s full of gas. So we’ve been on a mission to alleviate the pain from it. From Tums to Gas Ex to Culturell this kid has all he needs to get thing moving and to give him relief. Plus he’s working out daily as well and that should help also. We took a walk with him on Tuesday evening and I got these pictures. He’s changing so much these days and growing a lot. It won’t be long now and he’ll be taller than me. My little man is no longer little😢. Time with him in our influence is growing shorter and shorter. Before ya know it he will be all grown up. I love this kid of ours so much. Life is never boring with him😁. 

New TaeKwonDo Shoes

These are T’s favorites to wear. He didn’t tell us his other ones were too small and just kept wearing them🤦🏻‍♀️.  The ones on the left are the new ones and the ones on the right are the old ones. Quite a bit of a difference and he won’t be in the new ones for very long because he’s got very little growing room and I’ll be having to get the next size up...LOL! 

Yard Work and Burning Tree Limbs

Usually we try to actually rest on our only day off out of the week but we had to get the yard ready for the mowing company coming tomorrow to start their seasonal mowing that they do for us weekly/bi-weekly depending on how much the grass has grown. It was a lot of hard work getting things picked up and done so they can come and cut but I’m so glad we were able to get it all done and prepped. #neveradullmoment 

Team Training Today

Good team training day today. A lot has been learned and addressed and T is continuing to move forward. There’s never a dull moment. One of the highlights was that T was able to pick up his team jacket today. He’s so excited to have it. 

He also was able to pull off a sparring combination today that we haven’t seen him do before and we were very happy to see him being able to do it. The picture below was the end result of the kicking combination he did. 

It’s not about winning when you are training with your team. It’s about learning to do sparring combinations and doing them well. Here’s the video clip link of it:  https://rumble.com/vev4ld-ts-sparring-combination.html 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day☘️

Gift from a Client Last Week

One of our repeat clients up and gave us this collectible lego build last week. They knew we were a family that was into lego builds. You can’t get this build anymore. We are so excited to have it. 

New Workspace for T

This is T’s new school workspace. Two monitors. The big one to read all his work on and the laptop screen to answer his questions on. He’s so excited to be able to do this so he doesn’t have to keep flip flopping back to the reading assignment when looking for answers to questions. #stayingmotivated #gettingschoolworkdone 

WOW Kick-A-Thon 3/13/2021

A great day was had by all the kids doing the kick a thon. T did 376 kicks in 5 minutes. He did such a great job. I’m looking forward to hearing what the final total of monies raised will be. 

T and His Buddy Chris Running

T and Chris have been running and training hard everyday. He’s really excited to be at Mrs Donna’s training with her son, Chris and his coach, Master Wasiu. This has been a pivotal week for him so far and it’s only halfway over. 

Scot and I, however, have been working on things around the house that need attention and the house is getting organized and straightened up like it hasn’t been in a very long time. It’s coming together nicely and we’ve been able to get a ton done. Now if only I can get T to be better about staying organized and keeping things looking this way that will be an amazing accomplishment but let’s face it he’s fixing to officially be a teen and the typical teen signs are all there. Yeah for us....NOT!

T Taught Class at WOW TaeKwonDo

T got to help teach regular class for the little kids last night at WOW TaeKwonDo where he does his sparring training with his coach. He is having a good week. It’s a spring board week to get him moving in the right direction with his training so that he’ll be ready for his first tournament in over a year on April 10th in Florida.
