And then there was more wrestling

We had a full weekend of wrestling last weekend. Saturday we took both boys to Kenyon for an individual tournament. It was a long day, but fun! Brady placed 2nd in his bracket, pinning 2 of his opponents and Bailey placed 4th. As you will tell from the picture of Bailey he was not happy! Which I dont blame him, it is fun to win, but like we tell him time and time again that you cant win them all and as long as he does he best we are proud of him no matter what! We have another filled weekend of tournaments this weekend and then we should be done for awhile. Saturday we go to Shakopee where both boys will compete in an individual tournament and also compete to qualify for state in March. Brady has to get 1st or 2nd place to qualify and Bailey has to do the same, otherwise get 3rd to get 10 points and place 3rd on Sunday to get another 10 points. Both boys said they are going to shoot for 1st both days! That is the additude I like to hear from them! If they dont that is ok too, they have both worked very hard this year and we are proud of them, but both Rodney and I would love to go to Rochester again for state, just for selfish reasons! (we had alot of fun with the other wrestlers parents!) So I am hoping that they both do well!

Brady wrestled Sunday in a team tournament in Kasson. Bailey choose not to because he was getting his stones from his faith steps in chruch. So Rodney took Brady and I took Bailey and Owen. Rodney said Brady had another good day, he pinned 2 more of his opponents, making a total of 5 pins since he started wrestling! WTG Brady! The Mat Rats team took 4th in the tournament and Rodney said everyone wrestled really hard! So WTG Mat Rats!

This is from Sunday after the team tournament, modeling his pins on his hat and medal!

This is from Saturday, Bailey not happy as you can see! But he did great in our eyes!

Brady on Saturday modeling his 2nd place trophy! He loves to have his picture taken!


So if you think of it this weekend, think of the Braatz boys and in your mind root them both on!! We are all pretty pumped and excited to watch them!!
