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.

Helpful hints from the coach after the match

We are so thankful for our dog. She is cute and good and will do anything for a treat--especially turkey. We had a great thanksgiving and now we are so ready to move on to the Christmas season. I love the Christmas season.

Welcome to Beehives Allison!!!!!!

The beehives wanted to come decorate Allison's room for her birthday and welcome her to YW's. We are redoing her room for her birthday so it is all torn apart. So I told them they could do the kitchen. Boy did they do the kitchen!! We had to take her away(they wanted it to be a suprise) and Jason heard me tell Jarin that the beehives were coming. We got home just a little before they were done. Jason was running all over the upstairs yelling "where are the bees?" Anyway Happy Birthday Allison. YW's is so fun and you are going to have so much fun there. Your family loves you.

Jason is a yellow belt

Here is the group of kids getting promoted. Jason was supposed to hide his old belt behind his back but he is so very proud of his three tips. (the two black lines and one red) those are the markers that show he is earning his next belt. He was so good and stayed focused. Karate was one of the best things we ever did for that boy.

Here is jason standing at attention waiting to begin--still a white belt
