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!
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…
Since the end of marching band season, I thought we’d take a break. Maybe have an easier schedule. Nope! Between Anterpalooza, Trumpet Ensemble events, and concerts, Devin has stayed very busy in band! But he still seems to really be enjoying it. And that’s what I love. I really hope he…
I’m so excited to tell you that True Potential is back! While competitive soccer and futsal are winding down, we decided to bring the original group back together for Indoor Winter 2 at Soccer City. Though several of the players play together on the Crew Team, there are some we haven’t…
Devin participated in the Oklahoma Youth Orchestra again this year. Last year, as noted in my post, Devin made the OYW (Oklahoma Youth Winds) band. This year, he made the second to the top band – OYP (Oklahoma Youth Philharmonic.) He is 1 of 3 trumpets, and we couldn’t be prouder. I know…
Since Braden became a green belt, he’s been in an Intermediate class. This means that belt tests are handled differently. Before, it’s been a couple of people going into the small room and a few black belts helping, with Jason being the main reviewer. It’s a low-key affair. This…
Goodbye, 2022. I feel like I say this every year. This new year has got to be better. Right? 2022 was rough. Everything was difficult. We were fighting financial woes, and car troubles, and making sure the kids got to the right places at the right times, and with little or no downtime. We’re pulled…
