02/19/2009

Bay's Birthday. . .

03/29/2009

We had Baylen's 11th birthday (if you can believe he is already that old!) this past Sunday for the family. He had fun and got lots of neat stuff. He was especially excited about his new airsoft gun. I bought it through the internet and didn't know until I got it that the box said you needed to be 18 years old or older to use it. Oh well. Thanks to everyone who came and had yummy strawberry shortcake and ice cream with us and also thank you to all those who are too far away to come that either called or sent birthday cards. He LOVED every single one of them and he thought it was neat that sooo many people remembered him on his birthday!!

On Bay's actual birthday we went out to dinner to the Rice King Buffett out in Richfield. That's where Bay chose to eat, believe it or not. It was fun and the kids love to go there, because there is so much to choose from and you can eat as much as you want!!! We all ate our fair share of food that night!!







Romney and Braxtin's Wrestling Season

January thru March

Romney and Braxtin decided they really wanted to do wrestling this season, so we signed them up. At the first practice the coaches handed out the signlets and when Brax tried his on he said, "Do I really have to wear this? Can't I wear a shirt under it?" It was cute.

Salina is really into wrestling, which makes it great for the kids. They had practice three nights a week and tournaments on Saturdays. We took them to three tournaments, one in Salina, Richfield and Gunnison. We didn't want to travel too far out of the way for them. The boys had a blast.

If you know Romney you know that he was all smiles even after losing a match!! I think that is good though, there were some kids who were just devastated after losing a match and at this age is should just be about having fun. I was surprised to see how serious some parents can get about sports with these young kids.

We were really glad that Romney wanted to do wrestling. We thought it would be a good opportunity for him to toughen up a bit and much to our surprise he never once cried during or after a match!! Yeah Romney!!! We all know Brax is a tough nut anyways and he was really aggressive during all his matches, he just kept forgetting that once you get the other kid on their back hold them there. It was a good learning experience for all of us and I think they will want to do it again next year.

Now it's almost time to start baseball. . .
