Proud mama!

What a weekend! Yesterday was our last day of soccer for the Fall session and both kids did awesome. I think it helped that Grandma and Grandpa were there to watch. Tyler scored a goal on a penalty kick after he got knocked to the ground by another kid. Even more exciting...he paid attention for the entire game!!!! Emmy got to play on another team because they were short players. She was ecstatic because two of the girls on the team were friends from outdoor soccer. She scored two goals and had two assists. She was really excited!

Today was our first wrestling tournament. For those of you not familiar with wrestling, you weigh in at 7:00am and wait around to wrestle until 9:30 or so. After your first match which is 3 rounds of 1 minute each, you wait for about another hour and wrestle in another match. Then you wait another hour and wrestle in your last match.

Tyler started out with a little guy from the Chilli Dawgs club and got pinned in the 2nd round. In the next match he wrestled a guy from Illini Bluffs and he did great in the 1st round until he got elbowed in the nose...then he just kind of gave up and got pinned in the 2nd round. In his last match, Tyler did awesome. He didn't win, but he managed not to get pinned! Pretty good for his first match ever!

Thank goodness for youth sports...or I don't know what we would do with our weekends!
