2 Weeks in Review

Time is flying by.  This week we had 4 different wrestling events--the last one being an all day tournament for the girls.  The first 3 we lost very close matches.  It was tough!  Both boys and girls lost to Edmonds Woodway (yes, the same girls team we beat just a week ago).  Then the boys lost to Shorecrest.  We needed everyone healthy and on weight, and it just didn't happen.  But Saturday was am awesome day for the girls.  While Libby didn't take 1st, she beat a girl that she lost to last year in the post season.  It was amazing. Then she lost to a senior girl who was really tough.  The girls took 2nd overall, and they were so close to taking 1st.  And that was with only 7 scoring wrestlers.  The other team had many more.  Libby and Izzy pictured below are holding the first girls wrestling trophy the girls have ever won! 




I also has the SW science club come to my class on Friday.  We did some cool solutions experiments!  This was colored water and colored acetone with salt--they separate so fast and cool!  

What a fun team! 

This was last weekend in Raymond.  There was only one girl close to Libby's weight, but Libby beat her! I didn't go to Raymond, I hosted a baby shower, went to the temple with the youth, and went to a fun White Elephant party. 

Ben passed the sacrament for the first time last week.  A very special sacrament meeting for me. 

Ben also went to the temple last weekend for the first time.  It was so fun to be there with him and Sarah.  We'll hopefully get to take the whole family soon.  (Midwinter break likely). 
We also spent lots of time this week preparing some fundraising stuff for SW and getting Einstein off the ground (they are now saying 6th graders can't practice with the team...boo!) 

 We've got some more busy wrestling weeks ahead.  Praying for an awesome post season. 

Trying to get some excitement going for wrestling at the MS.  It's the first time I think I've bought a graphic--I liked this tiger in the singlet so much. 

I added "wrestling" to the cool new logo that SW is using. I like it.
