T Loves His New Team Hoodie...

Even though T is on the injured list right now he is still showing up for training sessions and keeping his mind engaged.  He helps out where he can until he's able to return to training.  

T’s 1st Battle Wound….

So T received his first battle wound of the year at the Rumble yesterday with a rib shot. We took him to get X-rays and there’s nothing broken. So thankful for that because it makes his recovery time shorter. The chiropractor did his assessment this afternoon and T had 4 ribs that had to be put back in. He’s having T rest for two weeks and he’s said no to T doing AAU NC. He wouldn’t be at his best and could aggravate things, possibly make things worse and lengthen his recovery so he sits AAU NC out🫤. 

On the flip side though T so enjoyed being there this weekend. He loved training with CJ Nickolas. CJ is a really great guy.

2023 Carolina Rumble…

T had a great time today at the Carolina Rumble being trained by CJ Nikolas who is #6 in the world and is working hard for an opportunity to represent USA in the Olympics.  There were over 100 athletes present for this training. We cheer CJ on as he presses forward towards his goals. He’s a great young man and it was a pleasure to watch him as he taught today.

Getting Shorter By The Minute🙄🙄😱…

Carolina Rumble 2023....

T is headed to the Carolina Rumble in Charlotte this weekend for crossing training and to get a chance to challenge himself with fighters more skilled than he is.  He is looking forward to learning a lot and getting to meet CJ Nikolas.  He is currently ranked #6 in the world.  You have to be #6 and under to be able to represent at the Olympics so as long as he keeps his ranking he will be representing USA at the Olympics. He is a very talented young man and T is looking forward to soaking up all the teaching he gives at this Rumble.  

New Math Curriculum 2022-2023…

This year we changed up T’s math because he was having such an incredibly hard time with the curriculum we had him doing. We choose a curriculum that a friend turned me onto. She told me it was a game changer for her daughter so we figured why not give it a try with T. It’s called CTC Math. It’s out of Australia but they have an English Edition. T has done so well this year and he’s forging right along. He received this certificate around Christmas. So proud of T. He has made great strides this year. We made him take a step back in order to move forward since he was switching to a new curriculum. We wanted him to get his footing. I’d say he’s gotten it. The gold is because he got an A in the subject. They give out Gold, Silver, and Bronze ribbons. He did an entire years worth of work from September - Christmas. Now he starts moving forward even more. 

Happy New Year🥳

We are reaching forward to those things that are before, pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus!!!  

May 2023 bring you all blessings that cannot be contained!  And in that overflowing of blessings that cannot be contained may you also be a blessing!  God Bless You All as you navigate through 2023!  

Christmas Eve Team CORE Training…

I finally had a chance to go through my photos from the Christmas Eve training. Here are some really great pics that I got. 

T got spend today training too. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. No place he’d rather be that with his teammates. They had such great fun training today. 

T is Leaning Out…

T is leaning out and he’s not even trying to…LOL! He’s also bulking up and he’s not trying to. It’s just happening. Lots of manly stuff going on with him. I’m getting better with all his manly changes as the days go by. Got this pic this morning. 

He’s given me his tough l👀k…LOL!  

Blast 💥 From The Past….

Saw these Blast 💥 From The Past pics taken at Mountain Top Youth Camp back in the 80’s. So loved growing up going to this camp. See these pics bring back some amazing memories but the second pic makes me think of T without the brown hair 😱😳.  

I’m the one in the long pants in the second picture.
