Utah Valley Marathon

A little while ago (yes, you can google the date and see how far behind I am with my posting), my sister, Dad and Hubster ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon. 

They all did awesome considering all of them did hardly any training!

So proud of their daddy!

They made it! And still look so good. 

My three favorite boys

T-Ball

Our little Munchkin man played tball this spring. He wasn't too sure about wanting to play and for the first few games didn't want to go. 

However, he said he wanted to play when he was asked, so he got to learn the lesson of sticking to your word and following through. 

Once he was at the games and got up to hit or played pitcher or first base, he had a blast. 

 

 

It was all those in between times that weren't too exciting for him.

At least him and his brother had a good time together. 

Orange Dinosaurs

I coached Munchkin's soccer team again in the spring and we had a blast. I seriously had such a great group of kids. They learned so much and were a ton of fun.

At the end of the season, I got a few gifts from my team and they were so great!! I got a soccer ball signed by all my boys, a few gift cards and some candy. Thanks!!

State Tourney...

At the first of the month, Munchkin man had a wrestling tournament. Not just any tournament, but the state wrestling tournament. I think I may have been more nervous than Munchkin. This was a double elimination tournament with only one division. Every tournament we had been to before had an intermediate and a beginners group. Munchkin was always in the beginners group since he had only been wrestling for a matter of months. And yes, there are five year olds who have been wrestling for several years, who would have thought?! 

The night before his tournament I explained that he may only get to wrestle two times because of the way the tournament was set up. He ended up getting to wrestle five times and had a blast the entire time. 

Munchkin won his first two matches then lost his last three

Getting some tips from one of his wrestling coaches.

Getting ready to do the Parade of Champions

Ready for the medal round.

Wrestling for fifth or sixth place. 

He made friends with this little kid. It was so cute. After they got off the main stage (from above pic) I walked around to go get him and he was walking with this kid, who he was about to wrestle, holding his hand just in their own little world. It was too cute!  We had ended up sitting by this family most of the time as they wrestled on the same mat.

Chubbs being such a sport after a long day of wrestling. We go there about 4pm and didn't get done until 11pm! So flippin' long. We were all ready to go. 

Munchkin got sixth place out of twenty and he was ecstatic. We were so proud of him. He never cried when he lost and always remembered to go shake the coaches hand after each match. So impressed with my little guy. 

I couldn't get him to just hold out his trophy to take a picture. All he wanted to do was to hold it. He asked me later that night if he could sleep with it. 

The next day he was sitting in a box (since we just moved into a new house, we have a ton around still) with all his medals and trophy from wrestling. He was just so pleased with how well he did at his tournament, as were we.
