Las Vegas Grabbler Champion in the Bantum 60lbs

     This tournament by far was the most stressful for me.  It was definitely his hardest so far.  Came so close to getting pinned, but some how pulled out a win.  They had a great opening ceremonies where the teams got to run through the fog and streamers and the song "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor"  blasting on the speakers.  We spent 9 hours (yes I said 9) there waiting and watching.  He has had 4 tournaments with a total of 14 matches and is 14-0!!  I think that makes it harder to watch knowing he may be due for a loss.  Not sure how I am going to make 18+ yrs of sports.    I will either have an anxiety attack, emotional breakdown, or a whole head of gray hairs.     

Patriot Fan In The Snow

     We took this picture the day it was snowing.  I know it looks like a white background, but it is the snow covered ground.  We entered  this picture into the Super Bowl Baby Contest.  We'll have to see what happens.  She will be supporting her dad this Sunday as they face off against the Jets. 

SNOW DAY JANUARY 2011

     It was such a nice surprise to wake up to so much snow.  I had all intentions of going into work even got up and got all ready.  I just kept looking outside at the snow falling and decided I couldn't miss out on a fun day with the kids.  Life is to short to always to  be responsible all the time.  We had great snowball fights and enjoyed taking the 4-wheeler out to check out all the snow.  It was great to see everyone out playing.  Steele and I decided to have a great football game.  I wish I would have thought about it earlier to get some people together for a real game.  For some reason these days make me want to bake (and eat) so we did (homemade chocolate chip cookies).  I guess I will start eating better tomorrow! lol

Wheeler Pass



I hope the landing is soft.







Mike, Steele, and Nik

          We took the 4-wheelers and the mule up to Wheelers Pass and we were not able to make it to the top due to all the snow.  Ffortunately, we were able to find a nice hill to sled down (minus the two trees and stump yikes).  Also, the boys found a cliff to jump off into the powder.  I also was brave enough to do it!  Well, sort of.  I slid to the edge on my butt then jumped (only because there was no other option but to jump).   The best part was the great snowman we made and the herd of elk we saw on the way back.  They were so close to us.
