Sorry This is Late…

Sorry that I’m posting this over a month after the event but we have been so busy that we just plain forgot. Here’s the USAT VA State Championship video from T’s fight. He brought home Bronze. It was a learning day for Him but he fought great and fought hard. That’s all we can ever ask of him. He’s growing and learning so much. So proud of this kid. 

MYTH BUSTED...

That has been busted all to pieces with our son and so many other homeschooled kids that we know.  T and all of his homeschool friends get plenty of socialization.  So much more than they would ever get in regular school plus it is good positive socialization with peers whose parents believe the same as we do instead of bad peer pressure situations that have kids making poor decisions.  It's a win win all around because he doesn't have to put up with the negative crap that regular schooling brings.  T and his friends can instead are positive influences on one another.  Homeschooling has helped shape T into such an awesome young man who has his screwed on straight.  He is a leader and not a follower and we couldn't be more proud.  So when folks wanna say that homeschoolers don't get enough socialization I know that they truly don't understand because all you have to do is spend time with our son to know that is a lie!

Guinea Pig & School…

Stampy enjoying some one on one time with his dad while his dad does his schoolwork…LOL! 

☝️ of T’s Birthday Presents…a little bit early!

T has been begging us to get him some Guinea Pigs for a while now so today we bit the bullet and got him some. The boy is so happy that is until he has to clean the cage🤣🤣🤣. He’s already been told it better not be us cleaning it else they will get rehomed. Check out Stampy and Dan in that order. 

Early Birthday Gift for T…

Today one of T’s early birthday gifts came in the mail. It’s a David Goggin’s tshirt. He recently listened to a book by David Goggins. He’s a Navy Seal. His book is very raw but it really helps athletes with their mindset.  Goggin’s book has been the difference maker for T and his mindset when it comes to the fight game. T is night and day different than he was last year this time. His mind is strong and he is fighting strong. Win or learn we are proud of the incredible young man that T is becoming. He’s a great teammate, coach, and fighter. No matter what happens in this sport he will always be that. He is going to be a great Master of his own dojang someday bringing up the next generations in the sport. 

This Happened Today…

Today we went and had T’s suit jacket for the dance fitted so it could be altered. $45 to tuck the sleeves. Wish I knew how to sew 🧵 🪡. They are making a killing for just tucking sleeves. 

So looking forward to the photo opportunity that Tyra and I will have with our kids before they head to the 8th grade dance😊. 

Private Training with Master Doug....

Master Doug has a game plan with T for these tall fighters and they are working hard on implementing it before T has to go to PA for Grand Prix.  Love how well they work together.  T loves being at CORE Taekwondo and learning from Master Doug.  Right now they are working on him jamming the tall fighters leg and getting points on the electronic chest guard as well.  This could really help T be able to fight the tall fighters better.  Whether he wins or learns this year we are still so proud of him and all that he has accomplished in this sport.  Master Doug had to wear two chest protectors while working with T...LOL!

Fun Day Friday…

Just wanted to share a video with you of T and Ari. 

Cross Training at Grants 4/15-4/16/2023…

Here’s a video I put together of the training this past weekend. Enjoy. 

Tristan Got His Permit Today...

My nephew Tristan got his permit today.  And mom thought she was done raising kids and having to do the permits and licenses....🤣🤣🤣.  T will have his next month then it will be our turn with our kid driving...LOL!!
