Day 2 AM Session at USAT Eastern Sparring Training Camp

AM Session today. T is loving it. When he came off the mat the first thing he says to us is his teeth hurt. He just got them adjusted at the orthodontist right before he had to come to this training camp. Didn’t complain about hard the training was though. He’s so in his element here. #NoPainNoGain #TaeKwonDo4Life 

Day 1 PM Session of USAT Eastern Academy Sparring Training Camp 2022

Day 1 has gone swimmingly. T had lots of fun. Because all the kids have been tested and had negative tests T gets to train without a mask 😷 on. He’s loving that. Here’s some pics I got of T. Some are of the team stretching after training was over. 

Learning to Shave

T is learning to shave with an electric shaver😊. His first shave. My boy’s growing up😩😢.

Orthodontist Appointment Today

T’s Ortho appointment went well today. They were pleased with how his teeth are doing and how well he’s brushing his teeth😊. He choose teal this time for his band color. 

UPDATE:  He’s a whining 😩 in pain. They had to put three connected bands on two of his back teeth. On either side so the teeth would turn into the correct position. Ouch 😣!!! 

New Radiator For The Truck

The boys had a busy day today taking a radiator off the truck and putting a new radiator in. Scot noticed a crack in it this morning. More than likely the freezing temps caused it. T’s school for the day was learning life skills he’ll carry with him all of his life. #homeschoolWin 

Meet Earle

Earle is a 26 year old staghorn fern that traveled from Florida to Magnolia Market (Chip and Joanna Gaines) in Texas. This is the biggest fern I’ve ever seen. 

Thank God For Snow Day’s

Here’s a comparison picture. 

Winter Storm Jasper 2022 Take Two!

We had some fun in the snow today and I got some cool pics😊. T hasn’t had snow to play in like this since he was 8-9 years old. Now we are all inside staying warm😊. 

Winter Storm Jasper 2022

Looks like we might end up getting the 4-6” that Brad Panovich said we’d probably get. We are probably at 3” now. A friend posted this pic of downtown Wendell on social media and I wanted to share it here because it’s so beautiful. It was taken about 11pm. 

This next one is from out our front door just a few moments ago.
