Wrestling and Christian's first trophy!

Serious focusing before the match

an escape!

I'll take top.

Sorry for the partial crotch shot, but I wanted to get a pic of Christian on top. Christian won this match! Way to go, buddy!

 Grant wants to be like his big brother and asked if he could wrestle too. After the match was over, we let him give it a shot.

Grant loves it! As you see he can get slammed and just crack up! He was oh so thankful to be allowed to be be in a "real" wrestling match!

And last but not least, Christian got his first ever trophy from Coach Soderholm. He was sick with the flu the day of the end of the season party, but he was ok with that because he knew he didn't feel good enough to go anywhere and because not only did he get his first trophy, but also because he was awarded the first wrestling trophy(before his teammates got theirs). They had a good season and learned a lot. Each boy on the team won at least 1 match, so that was great!

Valentines

Victoria gave her friends these cute Valentines this year. I think I saw these in Family Fun last year, but saw another example on moneysavingmom.com this year. I showed her the idea and we liked it. Amazingly enough, we did it far enough in advance they they were shipped to our house and made in time to give to friends.  She was really pleased with them.

Christian and I made pink peppermint smelling play dough for his friends. Very cute. We had fun kneeding the food coloring into the dough- not sure why I didn't add it to the water or oil first, but the warm dough felt good to squish. He did a great job writing all of his to and froms in one sitting. I thought it would have taken a lot longer, but he was pretty motivated.

And, I can't say much about this photo because I promised V that I wouldn't, but I wanted to post it and remember it one day anyway.

Grant didn't deliver any Valentines this year. Probably next year, right?

V is going to play lacrosse this spring

Farmville is now offering girls and boys lacrosse, so that is the sport that V picked. She was excited to get her cute pink lacrosse stick in the mail! Danny found some brand new addidas with pink stripe cleats in her size at play it again sports and she got some balls and a mouthguard and even pink eyewear, so she is set!

A couple days later we found another brand new women's stick at Goodwill for $2. Even though she already has hers we bought it. She could use it in the future when she is taller, but for now we can practice with her! Fun find!

She went to her first skills clinic and when she got back and I asked how it was and if she liked it, She responded, "I didn't like it, I loved it! It was AWESOME!" She is also excited because her friend, Cally, is going to play too! Look forward to some upcoming action shots!
