Wrestling season is upon us again. Practices are 5 days a week and tournaments on Saturdays. We were lucky enough to get to use the new high school gym. I think Sedona and I are enjoying the new gym the most. It is big enough that I get to do conditioning with the kids. I'm sure I look like a fool being the only mom doing sprints, sprawls, push ups etc. but i don't care. Our Saturdays are spent inside a gym for 8-10hrs and I have to say i love every minute of it. Steele gained 10lbs from last season and is now a newbie in the Midget division ranging from 8-10yrs old. He is doing great and has medaled in every tournament averaging 12 kids in his bracket We went to the Rocky Mountain Nationals consisting of 17 states and over a 1000 kids, and we traveled to Utah for the Beehive Brawl Nationals. It has been great to see everyone from last year. I was especially excited to see a family who were expecting their 5th boy. They were throwing around the name Steele last year so I couldn't wait to see what they decided. They did pick Steele ya!! This year has proven that the wrestling community is indeed a "FAMILY". A 6yr old on the Longhorn team was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just two days before Christmas after a routine visit to the dentist. The out pouring of support and donations has been overwhelming from all the teams. Unfortunately, our season ended early due to a broken arm Steele got at practice. With just 1 tournament left then we were off to Regionals and State ughhh!! I will not know what to do with all my free time until baseball starts. This is the first Saturday I've been home and I'm already bored and I've eaten all day!!!!
