My little wrestler

Showing off his official weigh in weight...35 pounds!

He was a little nervous at first...but that passed quickly

This is a picture of his team...the Jr. Patriots

Getting ready to cover his opponents back...he did win this match

Right after the take down...look at his face!!!


Today was Brandon's first tournament, I am so proud of him. He started wrestling at the beginning of November and so far seems to really like it. Today he won 2 out of 3 of his matches and came in 2ND place. Honestly, I could care less where he placed I was just thrilled that he got out on the mat and did his thing...I was so proud!

Lord of the Dance

Of course everyone knows how much Alyssa LOVES Irish dancing so on 12/6 my mom, Grandma, Julie and I took Alyssa to see Lord of the Dance. She loved every minute of the show and has informed me she would be dancing in that show when she is older. Ya know what? I think she may be right...she is an awesome dancer (yeah...I'm a proud mom) but really she is.

Singing Pretty

Alyssa had her first choir concert on 12/6...it was very nice. Here are a few pictures of her and her friends.

Just in case anyone cares...

My house is quite...Jeff is working an extra night and all the kids are asleep...I have finally caught up on all my laundry and the house is clean...so yeah for me!

Alyssa has a choir concert at school early tomorrow morning that we have to be up and ready for so I should really be going to sleep. Naaaaa, instead I think I'll do a little Internet shopping!

Wrestle Mania

Brandon will wrestle in his first tournament on Saturday morning! This should be interesting considering he has only been going for about a month, however he is very excited for it. Here are a few pictures of him...notice the wrestling stance and the "mean face"

I waited my whole life!

If you know Brandon you would have heard this before! He was busy helping daddy hang Christmas lights on the house (he was actually digging in the yard..Jeff was hanging the lights) when he came across this rock...he had apparently waited his entire life for it! If only simple things like this would make us all happy.

Fun times

The kids and I along with my mom went to Boulder City tonight for the Santa parade. It was cold and windy and the parade was much, MUCH longer than we remember but we did have a good time. I don't have any pictures of the parade itself ( I know you are all so disappointed) I left my camera in the diaper bag at Great Grandmas. I did take plenty of pictures afterwards as you can see. Enjoy!
