Brandon and I have been taking classes together at church to prepare for his first communion. I've actually enjoyed this time with him. He will take his first communion this Saturday, March 24th. I'm proud of him. He's also pretty excited because some of his friends from Sunday school are also in his group, including his buddy, Ethan. Brandon and Ethan have known each other since they were one! Its been fun to watch them grow together.
Life is full of them.
Its been busy. That seems to be the general theme of all my posts. I like being busy though, busy means blessed. Blessed that we have three healthy kids that have the ability to keep us on our toes. Blessed that we have the means to provide these things to them and blessed that we have each other to share this crazy life with.
We're selling our house and looking for something BIGGER! When we bought our house Alyssa was 1. It was perfect. That's not so much the case anymore and though the thought of leaving is bitter sweet to me, I realize that we will make new memories in a new home.
Alyssa just started the last quarter of Jr. High. She auditioned for the Las Vegas Academy in January and we should hear in the next month or so if she was accepted. If not, she will attend Green Valley. Both are excellent schools and I'm sure she will thrive at either one. The last few years have flown by... I will plot in the next three ways I can convince her to never leave home.
Brandon continues to excel as well. He has a gift for writing. I'm telling you, one day he will have a book series similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Of course hes still wrestling. Hes a great kid and very funny..always on the go.
Gabriella is just as sweet as always. Shes our thoughtful child. She really likes to do things to please everyone.
She loves to follow her big sister around and share stories of her "boyfriend", Jason. Shes obsessed with Justin Bieber!
Life continues as a pace so fast that sometimes I lose track of it. Still trying to find a way to slow it down.
Well the USA Wrestling Nevada State champions tournament has once again come and gone.
Brandon had an amazing wrestling season. He finished out on top, placing 1st in all three styles. (Greco Roman, Freestyle and Folkstyle) That's right, my boy triple crowned!
To make things even better, his team took 1st overall as well. I love Team GV, they are like a family and I'm proud to be a part of them. We really have outstanding coaches and the drive and discipline these boys (and girls) have to be the best really is amazing.
Anyways. The "local" tournaments are over but practice continues. Brandon will be heading to Boise, ID to wrestle for a week over spring break and will be heading to Pocatello, ID in June for Western Regionals. The season never really ends. I'm proud of him and all his hard work.
