Grady's Wrestling Meets 2013

Grady started Jr Jays Wrestling about a month ago having practice after school then wrestling meets on the weekends. There are meets offered every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through the months of February and March. Grady wrestled his last meet for this year this past Saturday. At his age level everyone gets a participation medal at each meet but next year in 1st grade they begin keeping track of points and medals are given according to how the wrestler placed. Grady is liking this sport so far!
Our Tough Wrestler
 Mean face....Grrr!!
 Shooting for his legs which is the first lesson taught in wrestling
 Before they begin wrestling they must shake hands :)
 I didn't think I'd get into it as much as I have but at this point
I know I was yelling 'Get him Grady, Get him' at the top of my lungs
 This daddy couldn't be more proud to have two boys follow
his foot steps in wrestling
 SO Proud with each medal he gets!!!
 Another quick move to be on top for the pin
 At the end of each match both boys arms are raised
declaring them both as winners :)
 Grady's face got scratched and poked a lot this year
 Another medal, another happy boy after his matches
 Of course he got to stand on the winner's podium
 Stretching before his matches, this is called a bridge he
told me to make note of that for all of you to know!
 This is one of Grady's buddy's Caden

 These two really like wrestling one another, every chance they get
 Practicing before their matches began!

Good Job Grady! We are so proud of you and the awesome
little wrestler you are!

Daddy's New Shotgun

Brad has been saving up for a shotgun and with having his birthday and Christmas in the same month he got pretty close. So target practice began shortly after the purchase or the day he bought it...
 Of course our curious boys had to try it
 Shooting clay targets thrown into the air! He never missed!
 Grandpa Greg tried to trick him and threw it out in front of Brad
instead of up above him but ol quigley still got it!!
 The first shot off Bryce thought Brad and Grady needed some
support so he braced himself to hold them up, haha!!
 Having fun but boy was it cold
 The happy and proud new owner
Look at all the holes in this can mom!! Grady was so
excited to do 'guy stuff' with his daddy and grandpa!

Snow Day 2013

We had 2 snow days a few weeks back which is partly why I became a teacher :) I like unplanned days off and a chance to play in the snow!!
 Brad helps dig out many neighbors after snow storms because
he likes to play in his skid loader and so do the boys!
 Bryce counted each marshmallow one by one
 Fun day, snow day
 Yum
 I give it a thumbs up mom
 Me too!
 Grady LOVES school and it shows choosing to do his own
idea of school work on a day off from school!!
 So Proud and SO Smart!!
I changed my mind mom, hot chocolate gets two thumbs up!
