Put Your Best Face On....Let's Go Out With a BANG!!!

 That's exactly what happened yesterday for both of the Deaton boys.  As summer closes, both sons had a noteworthy day!  This summer has thrown Isaac a total curveball.  He'd planned to play club lacrosse which was quickly thwarted by a collarbone injury after his first tournament.  It also hindered his ability to drive for a pocket of time.  He got his learner's permit in January and has been driving/logging hours for the last six months.  With COVID and all the restrictions, it takes an act of congress to get a road test appointment these days.  I started getting on the KSP website two weeks to prior to his testing day and checking it religiously every morning until appointments finally popped up.  This week ALSO happens to be the week that students can secure their school parking passes for the year.  He, Matt and Karson went over to South the night before his test to select the "perfect" spot in the junior lot.  Karson is a spot picking pro since having her actual license since her sophomore year.  His car started smoking.  Ugh.  His car is solid black and extremely hot.  This blistering weather has not been easy.  The car started overheating and smoking.  NO!?!?  With his appointment the next day, we had to come up with a new plan.  He'd have to drive my car or Matt's.  I really hated that for him because when you're used to your own vehicle, performing well in another one is a little tricky.  Cars turn different.  They brake different.  Just frustrating.  Our sweet Pap came to the rescue and got his car fixed first thing that morning.  It was a leaky hose.  

 

My best since forever, Jennie was there at the Justice Center with her daughter Mia. Isaac and Mia are two days apart and have grown up together as neighbors and practically family.  They took their permit test in January at the same time, and both teens had their road test at the same time.  It was an exciting day for both of them as they were awarded their restricted license.

The youngest Deaton finished up with his 6th round of tryouts for the South Warren Spartans golf team yesterday.  Y'all...this weather!!!  Those guys walk 18 holes.  This heat is unbearable, and I don't know how anyone can stand to be out in it.  It's instant sweat.  Playing golf for 4+ hours and performing well has to be a challenge.  Good thing he loves it!

 

Yesterday the SW team was announced.  We're super excited for him and the boys golf team and looking forward to a successful season ahead.

Karson had a big week as well.  She went to Louisville over the weekend and did some nurse shadowing at the University of Louisville hospital on Monday.

Our teenagers make us proud!  Both Karson and Isaac got passing scores on their AP exams as well.  

Let's get it started!!!
