My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!
Back in July, Braden was invited on a camping trip with his friend and his family. First of all, what an amazing gesture by some super people. Second of all, I’m jealous. I wanna go! They camped, hiked, did an obstacle course, swam, and went white-water rafting. His stories were stupendous. I…
I usually don’t take time off for the 4th of July. But seeing as it was on a Tuesday this year, I went ahead and took Monday off. That gave me 4 days away from work. 4 days to do stuff with the kids. And stuff we did! Friday, after work, we got a quick…
Well, the OKYO season is over. Devin performed in his last Oklahoma Youth Philharmonic concert yesterday. It was a very busy Sunday. Devin has a soccer game just before the concert, which forced him to miss the sound-check. But we all made it, and I’m so glad we did. The concert was amazing. A…
Our travels have been severely limited over the last several years. There are many reasons for this but mainly, the cars are old, and traveling is expensive! We even missed our usual Thanksgiving trip to Texas to see my parents because Deer Creek had a playoff football game the Marching Band went…
I felt it was best just to create one long article where you can see the various games Devin has played this year. He’s been loving being on the OKC Crew, and we’re so proud of all the work he’s done on the various teams Devin is number 52. He typically plays midfield, but…
What a beautiful night for some music! Both the High School Symphonic Band and Wind Symphony performed last night. And it was amazing! This concert was originally scheduled for May 4th – May the Fourth Be With You. And both bands played a Star Wars-themed tune. It didn’t matter that it…
Braden has the chance to participate in his first Spirit Tournament at Poos Taekwondo! It was something we’d never experienced, but I’m so glad we did. It was amazing! So many kids participating together to compete for the top title, and so many parents cheering them on. Braden has a lot…
Some of you may know this, but Devin works hard with soccer because he wants to progress in college and beyond. Obviously, his goal is to make it to the Premier League. But Devin loves soccer so much that I’m not really sure he cares where he plays. Well, recently, we’ve been working…
Braden took his Taekwondo belt test on April 1, 2023. He missed a soccer game to be there, but it was worth it. He performed really well and, ultimately, got his purple belt. We’re so proud of him! Kicks Kicks Videos – Shield and Paddle Forms Forms Video – Forms 1-5 Breaking Grabs…
