Our Sunday

Here is Ashley peeling potatoes. She was so excited to help. It took her almost an hour to peel three potatoes but she just kept at it and did not want me to take over. She said, "This is really hard mom but I am not going to quit." She was very proud of herself and wants potatoes tomorrow night as well.

Jason was really good at stake conference but he fell apart at home. He got sent to his room. While he was up there he started yelling for help. Since that is a normal occurance and usually means nothing I ignored him until he started saying he was stuck. I sent Jarin to check on him. Jarin came down the stairs laughing, got the camera and came down again with these pictures. Jason was trying to hide from us under his mattress on the top bunk. He really was stuck. He doesn't look too distressed. Sundays are so fun.

Ashley likes to have her picture taken. So she wanted me to take one of her in the cute Santa hat in front to the tree. It did not turn out that well.

Jason had to get in on the picture taking too. But he can't hold still--even for a picture. He had to pretend he was Santa delivering presents.

Jarin's first wrestling match

We went to our first wrestling match for Jarin tonight. I was out of my realm. I know what to yell at baseball games. I had know idea at this. I could kind of tell when someone was doing well. The other parents assure me I will know all about it by the end of the season. Jarin did really great for his first time.

Warming up before the match. Does he look nervous? He was.

Here is Jarin during the match. He did real well for his very first time. He almost made through the first round--he did get pinned but thinks he will know a little more what to do next time.
