More Wrestling

The boys have been enjoying the wrestling season this year. We have been to 4 tournaments and they have both done really well. This last tournament was at Weber High which is where Bryce and I went to school. So it brought back some old memories. This tournament is always pretty tough. Brayden wrestled on Friday night and did great. He had 3 matches and lost 1. There was actually a 3 way tie for 1st place because the other kids all lost 1 match too.

Tyler wrestled Saturday morning and had 3 matches also. The first 2 matches he pinned his opponent in the first minute/round. But his last match was pretty tough. It was a 3rd grader from his school that wrestles up because he is so good. Ty didn't get pinned and he put up a good fight, but he lost. There were a few tears too. He placed 2nd overall.

Enjoy the videos from the tournament. Tyler's video is his 2nd match where he cradles his opponent to win. Brayden's video is his last match of the night.

Wrestling

Tyler started wrestling a couple of weeks ago and he had his first meet a couple Saturdays ago at Logan High. He had 3 matches and did really well. He practices at Fremont High on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Brayden definitely likes to wrestle his brother but was a bit too shy to do it in public. Although he finally decided he wanted to try it. So Bryce took him to get wrestling shoes and he went to the wrestling meet last Saturday at Clearfield and did really well. Bryce enjoys coaching his boys. He was a great wrestler back in his day! I was able to post part of one of Brayden's matches below. Tyler's matches were too long to download. I will try to get one of Ty's next matches on the blog next week.

Happy Halloween!

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating last night. Brayden and Ellie went with Bryce while I passed out candy at the house. Tyler went with his friend Parker around the neighborhood. They didn't even have parent chaperone's. He is getting too old! Brayden went as Incredible Hulk. Tyler was a haunted skeleton. Ellie was a spider. At first she wasn't sure about getting on her costume, but with some candy as a bribe she was more than happy to get ready. She definitely has a sweet tooth. The weather was great. We have had 70 degree weather all week.

Like I said I was the one passing out candy at home. There weren't a lot of trick-or-treaters this year. We still had candy left over. Oh and thanks to Grandma Clark's fun Halloween book she gave me, I was festive enough to make pumpkin stew. It is a stew with meat, potatoes, carrots, and onions. But the fun part is you bake it in a pumpkin. I was a little worried it would taste like pumpkin, but it was really good. The kids even had seconds. Thanks, Grandma!!


So cute!


Already diving in, she hasn't even went trick-or-
treating yet.


Ellie the spider.


SCARY!!
