Well there goes January and in comes Febraury!!! Hard to believe that its over, and we are in the second month of the year. Not sure if the ground hog saw his shadow or not. I'm just hoping for warmer weather and less snow. We drove into town last Monday, in time for some horses and laundry, more laundry and State Jr.High Wrestling. The Juab Jr.High team earned 3rd place over all in 3 A. The coaches were sure proud of all the boys, and Juab also had some state champions crowned!!!
Shad worked hard, wrestled one match on Friday night and a bye. He pinned his first opponent in 40 seconds, and was victorious. The next morning we met the #1 ranked kid in the 76 weight pound bracket. Tough match, Shad lasted out all three and lost by 8 points. Our next match we won in the third round by 6 points. Our last match of the day was against our rival Millard. A boy we play chase with, he win's sometimes and we win sometimes. This day we fell short of a win and out the placing rounds by 1 point. Shad was dissapointed and frustrated. I am really proud of him, for his effort. He never stopped working during this match, shooting every shot possible until the whistle blew.
Determination is a great charicteristic to have. You have to be determined to be able to win and excell. Congrats to Shad for busting his butt all year. And my friend 7th out of 32 is not to bad!!
Dixon wrestled a great match at home against Manti on Thursday winning 5 to 1. Then Friday and Saturday he traveled to North Sanpete, he lost in the varsity tournament but won champioinship on saturday and the second chance tournament.
KyLeigh and Shad had parent teacher confrence last week. Both are great students and learning and growing. KyLeigh is on a 6th grade reading level, and loving every minute of it. Finally Casy has a little book nerd just like him!!1
Arizona was a great trip, thanks to Burns for the opportunity. I love to go and sell such great products for them. What a great company and team of people.
Back to the grind of catching up at home, getting taxes done, working on family orginization. we have started scripture study in the mornings at 6:30, successful so far and the kids seem to be intent on learning the Book Of Mormon. Dixon is working on getting his patriartical blessing and rodeo season is fast approaching.
So pull your boot straps up and your hat down. Here goes another eventful year for the WILD WINN BUNCH!!!!
Yay!!! The kids are so awesome! Good job, guys. It was so good to see you all. They're growing so much! I can't believe Ky's going to be getting baptized this year! She was THREE when I lived there!! We love you all sooo much, and are so proud of all the things you are doing. Keep being great.
