    Wrestling Reward

    No Comments

    After each wrestling season the wrestlers in our family get to go to Rodizio’s! This is their reward for working hard at practice every day and trying to discipline themselves to hard work. The boys really look forward to this night out with Dad.

    Our poor kids had to walk to school in the snow! I shoveled for hours. The kids all played for hours after school. This is the most it has snowed at one time since I’ve lived in PG!

    Priesthood

    No Comments

    The Church made some new changes this year and all boys turning 12 this year were able to get the priesthood as soon as they were interviewed and found worthy! All Boys turning 14 could be ordained to a Teacher and boys turning 16 could become Priests!

    So we had a big family gathering and these 6 on the couch (not Diego) were all given their priesthood ordinations!!

    I can’t believe Packer is a Deacon just like that! and passing the sacrament! and collecting Fast Offerings. And just like that Benji jumped into the Teachers quorum where Ben is the advisor. These boys are awesome!

    State Tournament

    No Comments

    The State Wrestling Tournament! Packer wrestled on Friday. He got to miss school but I didn’t get to go cause everyone else had school. He wrestled hard but lost both of his matches. On Saturday morning Ben took Benji and he also had two tough losses. A quick grocery run and then Ben and Ray and I went for Raymonds matches. He was in a 4 man round robbin and he won all 3 of his matches! William Boren wrestled next to him in the beginners bracket and he also won all 3! Michelle and Udine stopped in to watch Ray!

    Meanwhile at home the kids made stations and entertained each other all day! Lego Station. Mini Games Station. Art Station. Snow Cone Station.

    Back to the Children

    After enjoying sunsets on the beach it was easier to notice our own amazing sunsets! And then the next morning it snowed 🙁

    There was no school on the Monday after our trip so I got to snuggle and hang out with them all day while they wore their new cool shirts we got them. (Ben wishing he was still in PR, not at work in the snow)
