Christmas

Christmas was really good this year, goes by so fast though!! I forgot how exhausting it is when you have alittle one that needs to nap though, but Owen was a trooper and such a good boy all 3 days! We have one more this weekend in WI then we are done. It was nice to spend the holiday with family and kids, the boys had a blast and Rodney complained he wanted a present, so next year I guess we have to buy for each other so he can stop his whinning!!

2 vidoes of baby O

Baby O's first haircut

Owen got his first haircut lastnight, he was sporting a mullet, and it killed me to cut off the mullet curls, but I had too!! He did fairly well. I thought he was going to be ok when we first got there we was making friends with Pam while she finished cutting another gals hair. It was O's turn and he sat in the chair for a bit, then he was pissed!! Being the wonderful dad that he is, Rodney sat in the chair and put him on his lap, he was stilled pissed- poor Pam!! But she managed to get it done fairly fast! Thanks Pam!! He still looks like a baby, just more of a chubbier baby!! LOL His cheeks really stand out now I think, but he looks pretty handsome! Owens brothers also got their haircut lastnight, they of course did fine!! LOL

Into the chair

Brady's first wrestling match!

I have to admit I am NOT a fan of wrestling, it gets to my stomach watching anyone wrestle and it is nerve wracking when it is your kid that is out on that mat wrestling, but it is what it is and that is what boys love to do so be it!!

Lastnight the Mat Rats had an exhibition in Cannon while the JV was wrestling. This was Brady's first time wrestling another kid from a different school, he was pumped though! "Mom I am going to kick some butt" - ekkkkk now lets not get a big head, but glad you have a positive additude and are willing to give it all you got! He did too!! Brady wrestled his first match and the other kid gave up a good fight, but Brady ended up pinning him, yes his first pin!!!!!!! He wrestled his 2nd match and he was fantastic! He lost after 3 very hard periods and lost by points not being pinned! It was amazing watching him and how well he did for his first time! Very, very proud of him and he was proud of himself too!

Bailey also wrestled 2 matches and won both of his. His first match he pinned, and the 2nd kid was a kid he wrestled last year that beat Bailey, but Bailey did an excellent job and beat him with points! I am so thankful I have these 2 on my side!!! LOL They both did great and I couldn't be more proud of them on how well they kept going, weather they lost or not, they didn't give up and worked hard to get where they are today! Great job boys!!

After we got home, of course he needed pictures of himself!

Bailey's 1st match

Oh I have these in the wrong order, this is Brady winning the first match
