After each wrestling season the wrestlers in our family get to go to Rodizio’s! This is their reward for working hard at practice every day and trying to discipline themselves to hard work. The boys really look forward to this night out with Dad.
The Church made some new changes this year and all boys turning 12 this year were able to get the priesthood as soon as they were interviewed and found worthy! All Boys turning 14 could be ordained to a Teacher and boys turning 16 could become Priests!
So we had a big family gathering and these 6 on the couch (not Diego) were all given their priesthood ordinations!!
I can’t believe Packer is a Deacon just like that! and passing the sacrament! and collecting Fast Offerings. And just like that Benji jumped into the Teachers quorum where Ben is the advisor. These boys are awesome!
The State Wrestling Tournament! Packer wrestled on Friday. He got to miss school but I didn’t get to go cause everyone else had school. He wrestled hard but lost both of his matches. On Saturday morning Ben took Benji and he also had two tough losses. A quick grocery run and then Ben and Ray and I went for Raymonds matches. He was in a 4 man round robbin and he won all 3 of his matches! William Boren wrestled next to him in the beginners bracket and he also won all 3! Michelle and Udine stopped in to watch Ray!
Meanwhile at home the kids made stations and entertained each other all day! Lego Station. Mini Games Station. Art Station. Snow Cone Station.
The boys all got Legos for Christmas and loved working on them!
A Few More Practices until State Tournament.
Packer got his first PIN! Benji got a 1st place in his bracket! and Ray can put himself in a cradle!
Packer stayed on the Pole for 25 minutes!
Ray stayed on the pole for 7 minutes!
Cali stayed on the pole for 15 minutes!
CRAZY KIDS!
Benji and Packer got some Merit Badges and some Rank Advancements:
This kid had a blast.
Only missed us a little one night.
