Aww, look at all the love they have for eachother!

Wrestling!

3rd place! FIGHT!

So back in November, Carsen and Memphis started wrestling! It was a course the high school wrestlers were doing and teaching elementary school children the basics of wrestling. Well the coaches little boy was Memphis' age, so he let us sign up Memphis to wrestle his little guy.

Carsen took this kid OUT!

The first night Carsen and Memphis were a little nervous and not sure of what to do, so they stayed by eachother and practiced with eachother. Memphis was only able to wrestle the first week and then the other little boy didn't do it anymore so Memphis just ran around and played and wrestled Seth. Carsen didn't "love" wrestling once he couldn't do it with Memphis anymore, but Seth kept making him go back every week because once we got there and he started wrestling he had such a good time, and did nothing but talked about it. Since we knew he enjoyed it and had a good time, we didn't let him give up. Seth and I decided he had to finish what he started, but if he didn't want to do it again next year he didn't have to. He asked us if he could sign up, so we did and he was going to make it to the end! Every week they had practice and then they had a tournament. It was so cute to watch them in the tournament. They had to stand in line to weigh in and everything. Seth practiced alot with Carsen and Carsen was pretty good. He got beat a few rounds on the matches, but usually he could take most of the kids! They had a final tournament at the end of the season and Carsen took 3rd place. He did SO good. He got a medal and everything. I am so glad we didn't let him quit.

January 2010

Memphis & Carsen riding a horse for the first time ever! They loved it and can't wait to go again!I am happy to say that January is just about OVER! Not because it was a bad month, but because it means we are that much closer to holding and kissing our new little bundle of joy! We had alot of fun this month.

We brought the boys to go horse back riding for the first time! They were both so excited to go see the horses, but once we got there, they were pretty nervous to ride them. It only took a couple of minutes for Carsen to decide after watching Seth do it, that he was ready to jump on! He rode the horse and loved it! Memphis was frightened and it took him about an hour of watching his big brother do it before he was ready to jump on and take a ride. He finally got on with Carsen and was so proud once he did. They rode the horses for hours and they were even able to brush the horses and feed them some horse treats. We had a good time watching them have so much fun. I obviously couldn't ride the horse due to being pregnant, but I enjoyed watching them. They are excited to do it again once the weather is a little bit nicer! Thank you Aspen, Nikki and Kim for taking a Saturday to give the boys lessons! We hope to do it again very soon!
