High School Wrestling

What a fun and exciting season Connor had wrestling his first year as a freshman for Jordan High School! It all started a month before the wrestling season started when I told Connor he had to pick something to do in high school like a sport, an activity, a club etc. and we talked him into giving wrestling a try. Connor wrestled one season back when he was six or seven years old and hated it! He said he would never wrestle again, well never say never. Warren started teaching Connor some moves and soon enough Connor was addicted. The season started and Connor started out wrestling 152 and then dropped down to 145 by the second half of the season. Connor had many successes and took fourth in his first tournament and third in one of the last tournaments. He just kept on improving and after a three week rib injury he came back with a vengeance. I started keeping track of his wins because he was kicking every one's butt. The second half of the season he had 11 pins and 4 loses and in Region he won his first two matches and then lost his third and fourth matches. He even had his fastest pin in Region against a kid from Bingham, he pinned him in about fifteen seconds! Way to go Connor the next three years are going to be even better!!

Jr. Jazz Basketball

Carson just finished his second year of Jr. Jazz Basketball and had a great season. Carson had a great coach and lots of friends on his team. This kid of mine is so fun to watch and at his last game he scored six points and played a great game. His team is even looking to sign up for a couple more games in a tournament play. Carson is also playing church ball right now with the young men in our ward and being the small twelve year old on the court he holds his own. I over heard some guys at one of his games talking about how good that small kid ( Carson ) is on the court and how he holds his own among the many older kids on the teams.

Class Diva.....

A few weeks ago I went to Baylee's school to see her receive the C.E.O. award. I'm pretty sure the first time ever at Bell View Elementary the"Class Diva" award was given to my little princess! Baylee's teacher warned me a few days prior not to take it negatively but she just plain and simple is the Class Diva. This doesn't surprise me at all, Baylee is little miss social bug and loves the attention the boys give her. The second part of her award was for academic excellence; so at least I have a smart little Diva on my hands! Oh how this little girl cracks me up, I just love her to pieces!!

West High Wrestling Tournament

You would never know it by the look on Connor's face in these pictures, but he took third place in this two day tournament at West High School. He kicked some major butt, wrestling a total of seven times and only lost once. Warren and I had so much fun the two days watching him and seeing him do so well. Connor is really picking up this wrestling thing and loves it and we love to watch him! In the bottom picture if you look real close you can see his black eye that he got earlier that day during his one loss.

Connor got his Braces off!!

Almost two years to the date January 2nd, Connor got his Braces off. He was so excited for this day to come and it finally was here. Connor hardly ever smiles, I'm hoping he will now that he has this handsome smile! His orthodontist gave him a goodie bag filled with sweets that he wasn't suppose to eat with his braces on. Now the fun part begins........making him wear his retainers!!
