Christmas a bit late!

The kids, even though E isn't really a kid for much longer!

All three of them played in the fort downstairs!


All the boys played with cups and built things while Elexis kicked it down quite a bit...





All of us played the Wii! Everyone had a great time!!





We played Just Dance 2 on the Wii with Mom and Dad Arlint...



I made a Peppermint Cheesecake...

I also made a Pecan Pie!

Belgrade vs. Bozeman

It was a very close match tonight.

It ended up being a loss by 2 points....

E lost but held his own the entire time it was his turn...

My bottom still hurts from sitting on the bleachers for so long this last weekend that it was still saying mean things to me tonight while I was sitting watching...

E doesn't have another match until January.

Until then we are wrestling free!

Now on to Christmas with the family!

Cross Stich

In between placements I had some extra time to finish a project I had been working on for a very long time. Here is the final product.

I have no idea who I am going to give it to or if I will wait till we have/adopt a kid. Not sure yet!

I think it turned out pretty cool!

Beautiful sunrise

While I was on my way to Great Falls the other weekend for E's tournament, I left really early and didn't have the sunrise until around the Helena/Ennis exit. I was able to snap a couple pics of it and still think it was a beautiful site!

More Christmas

Finally have everything wrapped. Mailed out my parents and neices, gave the neighbor kids theirs, and now off to Helena (tomorrow night).

Josh looked at me the other day and said, we can't put it all in the car until we get a picture of them all under the tree...of course he said this after I mailed some off. Oh well. It's a tradition that I totally forgot about. Leave it to Josh to remind me!!

Great Falls tournament

This last weekend E had a tournament in Great Falls. I drove over on Friday and Josh and Wanda (my mother in law) joined the spectating on Saturday.

This was my view on Friday all day...It was so crowded!!

I found the team!!

This is E's last match on day 2. I couldn't get pictures cause it was too crowded and we were way up. He would have looked like an ant!



E did overall an amazing job. There were a total of 990 matches, and 32 teams. He got 6th in his weight class. We are super proud of him!!


Tonight E has a match in Bozeman. I will be updating tomorrow with how he does!!

Wrestling

Well I am taking E to the Bus for the wrestling tournament in Great Falls this weekend. I am then coming home and attempting to sleep for an hour and a half and then getting up eating breakfast and then heading to Great Falls myself so that I can support him. Josh is driving to Helena tonight where I will be heading after todays part of the tournament to stay with family. Saturday morning Josh, his mom and I are all heading back to Great Falls to watch the rest of the tournament!!

GO E!!!

Darts

I decided that I would play a game of darts with Josh...

Usually I lose...

This time I won!!!!

WAHOO!!!!

Babysitting

I babysat our friends youngest a couple weeks ago...

We built a castle...


He wanted his picture taken with my puppies!!!


Such a cutie!!

Downstairs

We are in the process of tearing down a wall and extending a room to make a new room downstairs.



Skeeter was totally helping!!


We now have the room wall torn down..

It is going to be a slow process as we just have sundays open and have to wait till we can purchase most of it... HA HA HA...

Wrestling in Boise

Well E and I got up around 5 this morning so that he could get to the bus by 5:30. The wrestling team is going to Boise this weekend. Josh and I are bummed that we aren't able to make this one but E has promised to text me throughout the matches so that we know how he is doing. He seemed really excited about all of it this morning.

As I know more information I will update this post and let you all know!
UPDATE:
E won both on Thursday night, won all 3 Friday and won 2 and lost 1 today. So just this weekend he went 7-2 and as a total for the season he is 10-2. He is doing a great job!

From the match last weekend he made the front page of the local paper. I didn't know this till yesterday as we don't get it delivered cause they don't offer it to be delivered. Josh and I are going to the paper office to see if they have a copy of it for me.

Game night

We had a game night at our friends the Barlows the other night... I didn't take a lot of pics but did get a couple snapped!!

Silly Boys

E asked last night if he could ever choose a dinner for me to make... I pointed him to the bookshelf and said pick something. He looked at me and asked if I was serious... Then Josh go in on it....

Here are both boys trying to decide on a meal for me to make...

Quite funny!!!
