    Benji’s Birthday!

    No Comments

    TWEENER turned TEENAGER!!

    We have a 13 year old! Benjis is so much fun. He just wanted to relax and play with his new toys on his birthday. We stopped by the pool with the Hancocks for an hour or two and then out to watch Incredibles that evening. He requested BLT’s for dinner but we took too long at and after the pool so second choice was Costa Vida 🙂

    DRONE:

    Happy Salmon:

    Movie Time:

    New Jacket from Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim and they and Savannah stayed for Cake and a game:

    On Saturday he had about 10 friends come over for a party. They did a video scavenger hunt, a Street fighter tournament and a Mario Aces tournament and a Mario Cart Tournament. They were fun and seemed like they all had fun.

    And we had all of Ben’s teams over for end of the year parties! (luckily the basement leak got finished the day of the first party.)

    SCOUTS

    No Comments

    The church announced that they will only be doing scouts through 2019. So about a year and a half. Packer just turned 11 and entered scouts. So we’ll see how much he can accomplish in that short time. And Benji is still going strong on his scouting. He is 2 years in now.

    State Wrestling/ Season End

    No Comments

    State Wrestling Tournament was January 26th and 27th! I went and watched Packer wrestle on Friday. Ben and Grandpa Netty cheered and coached. He wrestled 5th-6th Grade bracket, 60-64 lbs. His first match up was against the guy that won the bracket. Packer survived the first round and then he got pinned. His 2nd guy pinned him in the first round 🙁 Packer was excited to be there though and proud of his hard work and improvement.

    Benji wrestled early Saturday morning. I wasn’t there to take pictures 🙁 I decided to go to the Temple with Shannon instead) Ben and Grand[a Netty were there. He wrestled in the 7th, 8th, 9th grade bracket at 104-108. He got beat pretty bad on both of his match ups.

    Ray wrestled Saturday evening in the Kindergarten 40-43 bracket. They did a round robin and he beat all 3 guys! He pinned the first 2 and then won by points on the last one! Ben and I and Grandpa Netty and Michelle and Udine were there to watch.

    Flag Football Champions

    Benji loved learning football! He scored a touch down in the tournament and caught the extra point in the championship. He mostly played lineman but he just loved learning the game and doing exactly what coach told him to do.

    His team ended up winning their bracket. I believe they were the winner of the losers! so CHAMPIONS. We had the team come over last night after they won. Ate pizza and played arcades and celebrated the season.

    Wrestling Season

    No Comments

    Soccer ended on the 28th and Wrestling started on the 30th!
    The big boys go to practice Monday – Thursday – 4:30-6:30. Ray signed up this year and he goes Tues and Thurs from 6:30-7:30. So besides the lack of family dinner time its fun to have them pushing themselves and working hard.

    First Practice:

    After practice wrestling:

    Raymonds first tournament! Check in. Go. 2 point reversal. Get him on his back. He WINS!

    I like to come and watch and the kids come and “watch” or play toys, or color, or eat, or wander around and make friends…

    Ray’s 2nd match was really hard and he cried in the middle and didn’t want to finish but he stuck it out. And beat the next 2 guys and ended up with a 1st place out of the 5!

    Benji was at a BYU Pow Wow so he didn’t get to wrestle in this tournament.

    Packer worked hard but got beat all 3 times. He stayed tough and never got pinned! 4th place for him.
