Wrestling

We had TWO high school wrestlers this season.

It was such a fun season to watch. Kacin won the majority of his matches and had some great mat time. He was invited to wrestle with varsity a couple of times. He is an incredibly strong kid!

Forever his cheerleader--Brinna bug.









We were so thrilled to see Kyler out on the mat this year, too! He learned so much and had a great time on the team. I think he regrets not wrestling sooner than his sophomore year. But we are so proud of how hard he worked and all of his successes out there.















When I watch these wrestlers I am seriously in awe of their physical and mental toughness, their strength, and their grit. Wrestling matches are intense and fun.

Kyler's favorite tournament was out in Yuma. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go watch it. And this was pretty much the end of the season for him. He got a concussion at one of his practices and ended up missing out on the last few weeks of wrestling.





























At the end of the season, we celebrated all of these great wrestlers at their banquet.







Kyler flashed me his classic smile while on stage.







Awesome team. Finished the season 6th in the state.



Go Pumas!











The boys are going to continue with freestyle wrestling for the rest of the year. And we are looking forward to the next school wrestling season.

MORP!

It was Kyler’s second girl ask guy dance. I don’t even think I got a picture of Kyler when he got asked. But it was a cute poster and a smoothie to ask him out. So this was his answer back. 

Apparently he and his friends also put a huge pile of rocks on her doorstep too.

He had such a fun time going to the dance with his  friend.

Such a fun time that he came home like this.

I tried not to ask too many questions...

There was music and a lot of people and they sprayed paint on everyone as they were dancing. 

Kacin is not old enough to go to the dance with a date, but because one of his good friends had to be there for student council and the fact that this was just a big party with lots of paint, he decided to go with a group of friends.

I love these kids he hangs out with so much.

They had a lot of fun, too! Bonus: they kept their clothes in tact. And they came back to our house after the dance for ice cream.

Brinna Lou is destined to be a lifestyle photographer, or something. At just 2 years old, this is a series of her photos entitled “you wanted me to stop whining for crackers before dinner so you let me take your phone and now you may have to delete 200 pictures, but you get to see cooking dinner through my little eyes.”
