Wrestling boys

 Wrestling season is over for these boys and I was a terrible mother and hardly took any pictures!  Will wrestled with a club and had his first season.  We didn't make it to all of the tournaments, but we tried to go to most of them.  He did really well for a beginner and loved it.  No doubt he will be wrestling again next year.

Justin wrestled on the high school team and wrestled 120 all year.  He wrestled JV most of the year, but got in a few Varsity matches as well.  Competition is a lot tougher in high school than it was in middle school.  They go to tournaments in North Carolina, Tennesee, and Virginia so he was very busy. 

Although the season is over you can count on wrestling continuing in our house.  It's pretty much an everyday activity for our boys!

Derby time!

 Last month Will and Bruce participated in their pack's annual Pinewood Derby race.  Here's Bruce and Aaron putting the finishing touches on Bruce's car.

 I think there were 17 cars at the Derby race this year.

 I love how serious Will was when he put his car up to race each time.

 Holding baby Owen was just as exciting as racing cars.

Bruce and Will went online this year to find how they wanted to design their cars and then drew it on a piece of paper.  They did most of the work themselves and were so proud of their cars.  Sadly, this was Will's last year to participate in the Pinewood Derby race.  Next year he will be in Boy Scouts!

Toothless grin

One of Madelyn's front teeth has been out for a few months.  I was afraid it was going to grow back in before the other one was out, but thanks to a collision with a friend, the other one is now out.  I love this grin!
