First Tournament

Yesterday (March 12th) we took Justin to his first wrestling tournament. We put him in wrestling this year...yes I know he is only 5...mostly because Chad was helping out with the little guy practices. We had decided that we weren't going to do any tournaments this year just to let him have fun at the practices. Well on Tuesday one of the coaches announced that there was a tournament in Show Low on Saturday and ever since then he wouldn't stop talking about it. He asked us everyday if he got to go because 'he REALLY wanted to.' So we thought why not lets try it....no pressure...if we got there and he freaked or wrestled just one match and wanted to be done...fine no big deal. He ended up wrestling all his matches and did really well. Justin is not really aggressive so he got taken down a lot. But he didn't quit (or cry) he would roll to his tummy and stand up and go again. He took 5th place and got a green ribbon. Which was great until 1st-3rd place got metals but we explained it to him and he said he would run more at practice to get stronger:)

It was HIS choice not to wear his little Libby Logger singlet he wanted to wear his new SilverCreek Scrappers shirt. And can I say how weird it is to be taking my son to wrestling tournaments it seems like not too long ago that I was at them watching my little brother (about 18 years ago!). I think for the first time I was feeling a little old.

Sometimes he does this.....

Well I never thought I would have a thumb sucker. My kids aren't even big pacifier takers. He has only done this a few times and it is pretty cute but I am hoping that it doesn't become a habit.

Cowgirl and Hair Dos

"I'm a cowgirl Mom!" Wrong type of hat but still pretty cute. I LOVE this little University of Montana outfit she got from Papa and Nana!

Got out of the shower one day and Jessica was doing her 'little buddies' hair. I did have to help with the finish product. Why do I feel like this won't be the last time she dresses him up!

5 is Funny

Justins little 5 year old mind is pretty entertaining. I get a lot of "Mom, what if...." followed by something that doesn't really make sense. He counts to 30, loves to draw and write. He can put all the alphabet in order and is started to figure out sounds. He started wrestling 2 weeks ago and we just signed him up for t-ball. He always tells me...Wrestling, T-ball, Montana and then I start kindergarten. And everyday he wishes it was the day we were going to MT.

16 weeks

My baby boy was 16 weeks on Saturday (but will be 4 months this coming Sunday...how ever that works). He is a pretty content baby but is starting to realize when I walk away from him. He sleeps about 9 hours straight, eats then sleeps another 3. He smiles the minute you look at him and has started to laugh a little. I love this little guy and his chunky little legs!!

WHO DRESSED YOU????

I LOVE seeing what she will pick out to wear. . . . You just never know what your going to get! Jessa LOVES to sing. She sings ALL day long. She loves to play with her play kitchen and cook for us and she also really loves to help me in the kitchen. I am never in the kitchen longer then 2 minutes before I hear "Mom, can I help you?" and right away she is pushing a chair up to the counter. She loves to have books read to her and she loves to play games. She can name all of her shapes (thanks to bingo), colors and count to 11.

February Has Been...

stomach flu, croup, strep throat, stuffy/runny noses, coughs, bronchitis, not leaving the house very much and ALOT of cartoons and movies.
