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!
Halloween was on a Monday this year. It’s tough when it’s on a school/work night. And to make matters worse, I’ve been under the weather. Some type of sinus headache or something. Pounding behind the eyes, pain in the sinuses, and just an overall feeling of bleh. But we still…
Braden already took his test to get his Taekwondo Green Belt. With each test, he’s getting less and less nervous. And it’s so neat to see. I’m so proud of his dedication and willingness to get better. If he messes up, he’ll try again. More importantly, he keeps going. This is…
It’s true. Watching kids spar during Taekwondo class is really awesome. It was Braden’s first time doing it (this is for Orange belts and above,) and he loved it. I was able to grab a few pics and video. ENJOY! We get to do this again at class tonight. He’s definitely looking…
This past weekend was full of soccer. We left around 2 pm on Friday, Sep 2nd, for Kansas City, KS. Kids were excellent in the car, thanks to ipads, phones, computers, and movies! We had to stop a few times, but we finally made it into Leawood, KS, around 6:30 pm. The hotel was very…
Braden recently participated in the Orange Belt Test for Taekwondo. He worked tirelessly during class getting the forms, kicks, and hold releases down. But, he had not worked at all on the 5 tenets of Taekwondo or counting 1 – 10 in Korean. Let’s just say, thanks to YouTube, I now know…
This is a delicious dessert perfect for summer. It’s light and refreshing but very sweet. A shout-out to my parents for this yummy recipe!…
I recently wrote about Devin trying out for the competitive soccer team, The Crew, and what that means for True Potential. Well, with all the changes happening lately, I also noticed how Devin isn’t playing soccer in our fields with the neighborhood kids. For years, it’s been a nightly…
Braden started Taekwondo with his aunt EC in February of this year. He’s been attending classes, usually 2 days a week, at Poos Taekwondo. He loves it. And he’s pretty good at it too. Recently, he took his test and was awarded his Yellow Belt. Below are some pics and videos from that…
We are so excited for Devin who will be joining the competitive soccer team The Crew for the 2022-2023 season! Tryouts were a couple of weeks ago. Devin and one of his True Potential teammates, Jack, made the advanced team. This means that they’ll not only be on the 2008 team, but…
