You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Wrestling, wrestling, and more wrestling!

We started the boys in wrestling this year.  We took Hunter out of Soccer for the spring and enrolled all of them in freestyle wrestling.  It has been really fun to watch them progress.  Hunter has taken a huge liking to it and practices all the time.  A last week he wrestled the same kid 3 different matches (since they were the only two in their weight class) and he ended up winning and taking first in his weight class.  It was awesome to watch how well he put his skills to use.  Dallin just jumps in and destroys people and at the same tournament last week, he discovered how to "Pin" and won 2 out of the three of his matches by just going in and pinning the other kid.  Tyler has participated and took third at the above mentioned tournament, but doesn't love to wrestle.  Our goal was to keep him in all season so that he could "toughen up" a bit and finish something he started.  And he has...and he's gotten better, but he is definitely not one for loving wrestling....he doesn't like the pain part of it.  But he has stuck with it.  We have enlisted Uncle Matthew to help with some of the coaching since he has experience ...it has been super fun !
