Jonny gets 2nd

Of course the one week that just Jon, his dad, and his brother are the only ones to watch, and he places the highest yet. He got a 2nd place yesterday. I'll let Christi write more about it.

Jon is qualified for Western Reigonals in POCATELLO!!.....

He did it! He placed 5th today out of 12 wrestlers...and he got a medal. WAY TO GO JONNY!! I missed the first two matches...he pinned both opponents!! The 3rd he lost by points...and the 4th he was pinned. He was quite devastated about the last two matches, but he really did GREAT (and we told him so)!!

So, it looks like we'll be vacationing in Pocatello this June. As long as we'll be up that way, we are thinking of hitting Yellowstone and some of the sights in Salt Lake City on our way home. The kids have never been to Temple square, etc. and I havent been there in AGES. Looks like it could be a very fun trip!!

Brrrrrrr......

This is another scout campout weekend for Lenard. (Man, they go alot....but it is GREAT for him!) This time they went up near Strawberry....I just checked the weather up there....it is 38 degrees, and it is only 10pm!!! Good thing he got an awesome 20 degree mummy bag in February....looks like it will come in handy tonight. I think even with the cold he'll have a blast! He usually does. By the time we go to Greespeak this summer, it'll be like nothing to him. LOL!

Gearing up for this weekend...

It is the Western Regional Qualifiers. If Jon places in the top 6 this weekend, he can go to the Western Regional Tournament in Pocatello, ID in June. He's gonna have to be in top form, and he has been practicing hard this week!! The tournament is at Highland High School, 4301 E. Guadalupe Rd. Gilbert 85220. If you are coming to watch, I'd say getting there around 11am is the best idea. I have to work the night before and the night after, so I am not going to be able to be there the whole time.....hopefully, I can get a little sleep and make it there for most of it. Wish him luck!---and lots of PINS!!!

Sadie and Mom go to the Stuffington Bear Factory

Yesterday was Sadie's last Kindergarten field trip. They were going to the Stuffington Bear Factory. Sadie REALLY wanted me to come on the field trip, so I arranged my schedule so I could (although I did have to work the night before, so by the end of the field trip...I'd been up for 24 hours, and I had worked over 12 of them----->pardon my YAWN). We learned all about the origin of the teddy bear, how the first bears were made and what they were stuffed with. Then we toured the factory and got to see the whole process. After that, each child and parent chaparone got to make a bear! So fun!! Sadie's bear is Pink, and she named her "BubbleGum".....my bear is brown, and I named her "ButterScotch".

At the end of the day, I was a little sad knowing that this will be the LAST Kindergarten field trip I go on!!

Jon fought hard this weekend and got a MEDAL!!...

Jonny took 3rd (BRONZE!!) out of 9 wrestlers this weekend at Mesa High. It was a great tournament. He is also making some good friends (the wrestlers from the other clubs)

Sadie, Lenard and I cheered from the stands, and Lennie was down on the mat with him. Lenard even got to do some of the video taping this week....he LOVED that!
