My life

This has been my life for the past month.  WRESTLING.  Not only does Jace practice 3 nights a week, we spend all day on Saturdays at tournaments.  One more month to go and then it will be baseball season.  We get exactly 2 days in between wrestling and baseball.

I have been on my Spring break this week from school and am loving it!  It is nice to not have to worry about spending all my time while Ry is at school studying.  I have been able to get alot done and at the same time not do alot.

I started a Bible study group last week and LOVE it so far.  What a great group of young moms to do this with.  Such real people that go through real things,the same things every other young mother struggles with.  I think this group is going to be really good for me.

Spring Break 2011

We just started Spring Break around here, well kinda.  The boys are out from school and I am not driving bus but my school doesn't go on break for another week.  Today we had to run into Nampa to get a few things for a poker tournament I am involved with putting on to raise some money for our youth sports.  I have to say, if the rest of the time is like this my boys may not make it through spring break.  Today involved a huge fight at the Walmart check out about who was going to put the groceries in the cart and ended with my huge bottle of orange juice flying off the counter and onto the ground.  It took every ounce of willpower to not beat them to a bloody pulp right there in Walmart.  I am pretty sure the cashier thought I was going to.  I now as my parents are reading this they are thinking, "Paybacks are a bitch!" 

Please lord, help us all make it 9 more days!

First tournament

The boys had their first wrestling tournament on Saturday and we had to get up and be out of the house by 6:15 AM.  That is going to take some getting use to again!  This year Jace is in the Intermediate age group so basically what that means is instead of there being 6 kids in the bracket there is now between 18-22.  Essentially, he is playing with the big boys this year.  Ry ended up having to wrestle 1 kid that weigh 15 lbs heaver then him and then another one, who is one of his best friends, that weighs almost 10 lbs more.  It was so screwed up and a total mess.  He was so excited though that he took 3rd!!!  Out of 3 he took 3rd! :)

Jace did really, really well his 1st match.  Had the other kid pinned in 30 seconds!  His other 2 matches were a bit tougher though and overall he ended up 12th out of 19.  Not terrible for his 1st match in the big boys group but nowhere near where he would like to be.  This weekend we are headed to Kuna so hopefully it will bring better luck to us.

On another note... I got 100% on my Psychology midterm!  I am stoked!  I studied my arse off and it totally paid off.

VIP, lost tooth, dates and much more

Busy does not even come anywhere near describing what my life is right now!  To give you an example, I don't have one free Saturday until June!  Not ONE!  So, I have been bad about blogging but will try to do some catch up here.

2 weeks ago Jace got VIP for his class.  He was beyond excited!  Every Monday since school has started he has told me, "Maybe this week I will get VIP."  The kid tries so hard, all that dang energy just gets in the way.  When his teacher emailed me and told me about him getting VIP I called Josh and told him, to which he replied, "Did they run out of kids to give it to"?  We love Jace so much but we know better then anyone how he can be.

Rylan lost his very first tooth last week!  When he first realized it was loose he told me, "Finally I have a loose tooth, I am the only person in this family that still has my baby teeth."  The night he lost his tooth I was soooo sick and had gone to bed early.  Thankfully the tooth fairy still made an appearance.  I was shocked to find out that HE left Ry $4.00 for one tooth.  Holy Cow!

This week Ry got asked on a date to Chuck E. Cheese.  This by the same girl who continually declares her love for him and I caught attempting to kiss him on the bus, to which Ry replied "we are way to young for this kind of behavior."  The kid cracks me up!

Our 1st wrestling tournament is on Saturday and I am so excited!  Jace is doing amazing at practice and Ry actually is really liking it this year.  He is 100 times more aggresive then last year, which still isn't much but hopefully this year he won't laugh the whole way through his match.  Jace has been doing 5 1/2 hours of practice a week.  4 hours of freestlye and 1 1/2 hours of greco.  I hope all his hard work really pays off.

And... I have midterms next week.  I cannot believe that it is already time for midterms!  I am half way done with my first semester.  I think my schooling is going to go much faster then I think.  I am also shocked at how much harder the classes are then I imagined them to be.  I am still getting A's in both my classes but it is taking alot more work then when I went to school for my MA.
