Busy Weekend

"Twist 'em like a pretzel
Show 'em how to wrestle
We Want A PIN!"

Abigail brought out the full guns when it came to cheering for her big brother! We were able to borrow the outfit from our neighbor whose G-ma is the cheerleading coach at the school. We thought she was the prettiest cheerleader there for sure.

Enduring a very looooooooonnnnnngggg day! But looks like she's enjoying it...for the moment anyways.

Talk about 'awe' - man was this an exciting sight to see. The best of the best wrestlers in all of Washington State gathered at the Tacoma Dome to compete for a title! The competition was tough. Each and every wrestler is here for the win. They've trained all season for this moment. 24 wrestling mats going continually at the same time with competition matches. Talk about brain overload.

Dalton wrestled his first match yesterday morning and was defeated by points to his opponent, a tough match to swallow. He pulled out all of the muscle for his second match winning with a 3-2 final score. In his 3rd (and sadly final) match with seconds to the end of the 3rd period, he pulled a somewhat risky moved that cost him the match with a pin. So disappointing for Dalton as he has worked so hard all season long for this moment.

YET...as his mom, I wanted to bring to light the positive achievements that he had all season long. Though he started a bit slow, he took 1st place at the Brian Hill Invitational, 2nd place at Rainshadow Invitational, 2nd place at Districts and 3rd place at Regionals, along with an incredible league match record.

I am so incredibly proud of my son for all of his commitment, dedication and hard work that he put into making this senior season an amazing one! What an incredible ride it has been for all of us. We love you so much!

You are definitely MY Hero.
