Wrestling Districts

Our boys had their wrestling

districts this week.  Tyler

and Kody did awesome.  Both will

be going to state this next week.

Tyler took 3rd @ 135

and Kody took 2nd @ 119.

Off to Boise we go to watch the boys.

I am not sure how my life is going to go without

wrestling taking 3/4 of our time.

Hopefully we can enjoy the rest of this

 crazy winter.  Got 32 new inches at Targhee in

the last 24 hours.

Senoir Night

Tomorrow night will be senoir night for the wrestlers.  I can't

belive that this is it for Tyler.  It is hard to believe that he has wrestled

for 14 years and that this is the last year.(unless he is like Jared)  I have

enjoyed watching him grow and learn.  You cannot build character better

than on a wrestling mat.

We have districts next week and State after that.

I think both boys should place at districts and

I think they both could place at state. 

I know that the biggest part is mental

and if they can get through that then

they will do well.

Jared left this morning for work in California.

I don't like thinking that he will be gone for

a while.  He will be home for districts

 and state and then off again.

I still am not able to log into my blogger

account on my laptop but I will have to

get some photos on this computer so

 I can show what I have been up

to lately.

Sugar City John Berry Tournament

Jared and I spent Friday and Saturday at the wrestles.  The boys did awesome.  The whole team did a great job.  The team finish the tournament taking 3rd place and Tyler took fourth place @ 135 and wrestled tough.  Kody took 2nd @ 119 and wrestled a Senoir from North Fremont who is a 2 time state champ and gave him a run for his money. He even had his back to the mat for a while,  that got the crowd screaming.  I love to watch the boys do their best.  They have worked hard for a lot of years and now they get to see the rewards.  Great sport for boys to build character.  We wrestle @ South Fremont on Tuesday and Aberdeen tournament this weekend.

Jared and Ken will leaving in the next week or so to get started on the job in California.  I am not looking forward to not having him around but we have to go where the work is.  He is a hard working man for his family and I am very greatful for that.  He has taught our kids how to work hard too.

I am very blessed to have 6 awesome kids and a loving suportive husband.

Snake River Wrestles

Went to Snake River to watch the boys wrestle last night.  It was a frenzy when I got there.  The boys were supposed to have a 2 pound weight advantage but our athletic director, Brody Birch did not call ahead to let them know so about half of our team was over weight.  We had to shift a few boys around and forfiet some of the weights but they wrestled tough.  If it weren't for the weight mix up our team would have won the dual.  Kody ended up wrestling 15 pounds under the weight of the other guy and struggled but wrestled awesome.  Had the kid trying to jump off the mat and pulled him, Literally, back on the mat.  Today will be nice to stay home and get a few things done here that i have been wanting to do.  My big project is to tackle the office/exercise room/craft room.  Maybe I'll post some pics of before and after.  It needs a major overhaul.
Had a little surprise last night.  While i was sitting there waiting for the Varsity wrestlers to start and watching the flag come down for the pledge I here over the announcers voice that an old Snake River student will be singing the national anthem, then I hear my name announced.  I look over at the announcers stand and Devin is grinnin from ear to ear.  I just looked at him and said " very funny".  I think the funniest thing was that after it all, everyone was asking me if I was really supposed to sing.  I would have embarrassed both sides.  Teton for knowing me and Snake River for letting me sing the song in the first place.  Coach Piva was the most confused.  He must not know how to take a little sarcasm.  I hope all were entertained by the situation.  Devin better watch his back.  He is on my list.  Gotta love him.  I had a great time getting to see quite a few people I hadn't seen for at least 15 years.  Haracio, Carlson's son, Devin and Robin, Cory and his wife.  Good to see friends and family.

Home Wrestling Double Dual

 Kody just as the ref is lifting his hand to slap the mat for the pin.  LOVE IT!

 The boys wrestled hard at the home dual last night.  These pictures are both just as the ref is hitting the mat for the pin.  What an intense sport.  The boys both love it.  Tyler is wrestling Varsity as a Senior and Kody is wrestling Varsity as  Freshman.  The crowd was great at supporting the boys.  Maybe because this is one of the only sports that is getting some wins in Teton High School.

For all of you ladies who like to bake, or those of you who do not.  Every woman should have a Bosch mixer.  I use mine at least once a week to make homemade bread.  It takes about 2 hours but there is absolutely no effort with this baby.  You add the ingredients and let the Bosch do the work.  My family hasn't bought bread for over a year.(Unless I was out of town).  Ladies put this on your wish list.  You will be so in love too!
