The tooth fairy brought a pack of bubble gum and 4 quarters!
Soccer ended on the 28th and Wrestling started on the 30th!
The big boys go to practice Monday – Thursday – 4:30-6:30. Ray signed up this year and he goes Tues and Thurs from 6:30-7:30. So besides the lack of family dinner time its fun to have them pushing themselves and working hard.
First Practice:
After practice wrestling:
Raymonds first tournament! Check in. Go. 2 point reversal. Get him on his back. He WINS!
I like to come and watch and the kids come and “watch” or play toys, or color, or eat, or wander around and make friends…
Ray’s 2nd match was really hard and he cried in the middle and didn’t want to finish but he stuck it out. And beat the next 2 guys and ended up with a 1st place out of the 5!
Benji was at a BYU Pow Wow so he didn’t get to wrestle in this tournament.
Packer worked hard but got beat all 3 times. He stayed tough and never got pinned! 4th place for him.
Ray ready for another school day 🙂
Learning to write his name:
Ray ALWAYS wants me to play a game with him. I need to say YES more often cause these boys are fun to play with. They actually have the patience to play and wait their turn and stick it out to the end!
I love Tiago’s chubby fingers on the game pieces:
we are trying not to watch as much TV but I love when they dance and sing along with the shows:
These guys were my helpers when I put together a 12 drawer Ikea dresser for the boys room. I need to do a project that they can really help on. They loved the hammer!
Ray had to wait a week after the other kids to start school and it about killed him. He was so ready to go and be big. He is in Mrs. Larsons afternoon class and he is liking it so far. There are 3 other Kinders in our culdesac but he’s not in class with any of them. He knows one kid from church and has made a friend or 2 already. As far as I know he just climbs on the monkey bars all recess and isn’t too worried about having a friend out there. I have him walking home with all of the neighborhood kids and that has been great.
We posed the whole way to school! He was ready for the adventure 🙂 He walks with Noah and Era. William and Hawkin are also there. Here he is on day #2!
He is ALMOST reading. I think he’ll catch on quickly and Benji is helping him at nights when they read in bed.
Coach Derek, Brady, Corbin, Ivy, Lila, Max, Noah, Ray, and Will
