In the essesence of a warm, smelly, room of wrestlers I was glad to be the bench sitter in the end. Shad went to Heber City on Friday to a freestyle tournament. Once again I glanced through an empty gym, waiting for a championship match.
The night started off with a blast of quick finish, pinning his apponent in the first round. Second match of the night we endured to the end, finishing the 3rd round tied, we flipped for sudden death. Shad won the flip and was ablt to hold onto his opponents leg. If the other wrestler escaped or would have thrown us he would of won. Determination from the blonde monster wins again, Shad's strenghth and determination helped him lift the other 75lb wrestler up and over to the matt. I almost passed out, talk about anticipation its worse than bull riding!!!
Round number 3 brought a little more anticipation. i will be so patient when the season is over!!! Shad won the first round, quick and smooth 5 - 1. To bad the opponent got the best of our will power. We lost some control and our temper, and our air. Losing by 2 in the last round.
Round 4 was a great match against Wasatch, also round 5 was a Wasatch wrestler who knew how to use sound effects. Both of these boys were great wrestlers and we won in the end with straight determination and will!!!! Sound great to come from behind and kick some butt!!!!
Round 5 finished with a win, moving us to the champion round, once again with fellow team mate, Micheal of champions. What a great wrestling match this was. We wrestled not to confident but took him two rounds, he won in the final decision by points. Shad comes out each time with something new and passionate about how to win the next one. Micheal is really fast and short, so we have to change some things about how we wrestle him. Surely we will see him this weekend again in the championship round!! Great job Shad Freestyle finish #1 with a 2nd place medal and a goal to win 1st.

The end of February
It's hard to believe that this month is over, the valentines, all the winn birthdays. We have had such a good time. Dixon is relieved that wrestling is over, only two days of conditioning with his dad instead of intense 5 hrs after school!! Shad had a little break and then into Freestyle. Kyleigh is just enjoying that sometimes the boys are home and she can have me all to her self!!!
Casy is another year older, although he looks 29 who would guess 40???? something. I promised not to tell his real age.
Our friend Joseph is getting better and through the miracle of fasting and prayer we have seen healing power.
The blog has put me in contact with some of my greatest friends whom i have not seen for ever!!!! Its been refreshing to see the pictures and listen to such fun words. And to all of those friends who live close it is lots of fun to see your families blogs and see the growth.

WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS
WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS, FOR THEY BECOME WORDS. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS, FOR THEY BECOME ACTIONS. UNDERSTAND YOUR ACTIONS, FOR THEY BECOME HABITS. STUDY YOUR HABITS, FOR THEY WILL BECOME YOUR CHARACTER. DEVELOP YOUR CHARACTER, FOR IT BECOMES YOUR DESTINY!

Dixon and I went to stake standards night last night.WOW!!!! It was so good, they had a guest speaker Dianne Hocher, what an outstanding time we had.
She spoke about living like you are a believer, in thought in your standards, the way you dress, live,talk, everything. She was funny, charismatic, and had so much energy in her voice. Dianne spoke about some of the stories in the scriptures and how they relate to us in our lives.
Dianne encouraged us to write down 12 things that we loved about our significant other, or future other for the kids.
Emulating after this list of your spouse, soon you will also want to live this way and your thoughts will change after you redirect some items in your life.
So heres to Casy Winn and his top 12, there might be a top 20 for him but i will narrow the list down.
