We got GG a picture frame with her favorite great grand kids in it. We hope she loves it. Now daddy just has to find time to hang it on the wall for her.
As you can see I tried to turn shoveling my driveway into a game for the neighborhood kids but the snowball fights won instead.
Even Addie got in on the fun.
a pen.
the lee's summit tournament ended with Lucas in 3rd place. He has placed 3rd in most tournaments this season for his bracket.
The double team
Look at how young she is, only 6 this year.....haha
We did some cleaning around the house after Addie had her gymnastics class that morning. Lucas wanted to get out of the house and playing in the snow is out of the question with the windchill and cold temperatures so we decided to head over to the bowling ally.
The first game Lucas played with the bumpers. He did pretty good
Even got a spare
Addie played with her baby doll while we were bowling. We did talk her into bowling a couple of times for each of us but she was much happier with her doll.
Yeah, you read that correctly. Luke won the first game. I would like to note by a very small margin!!
Luke would like to point out that a win is a win.
Here is Addie giving it a try.
This is the second score. You can see even though this was taken before the official end of the game mom was the winner this game!!
Even daddy has tried it
Poor Luke's hair is just no long enough for any great results.
Addie was captured and given the torturous balloon rub.
They did not have enough kids for the 75lb bracket so they combined the 75 and 80 lb bracket which meant Luke drew only 80lb wrestlers for they day. I decided not to tell him this bit of bad news. I decided to share with him shortly before he had to wrestle that his first match was against a girl. That did not go over well. He really has some mental barriers with wrestling girls. He lost this match. It was a kick to the ego for sure but it was early.
His next match was against Shane. He is a fellow Ray-Pec wrestler. That means no coaching for the match. Not great for Luke. What was worse is the fact Shane is 80lb and a 4 time state champ which is sort of a big deal since he started when he was 4. Luke did not get pinned so we took that as a victory even though the score did not reflect a victory for him.
Luke also considered the fact they had to stop the mach twice for a nose bleed a personal victory. This allowed his ego to come back to where it was before he started that morning.
I thought Luke was done for the day. He wanted to stay and see a friend of his finish for the day. I let him go down with one of the coaches to watch closer. What ended up happening was that Luke had one more match for the day. Since they combined the weight brackets they ditched the elimination rule. These are some of the things I do not know about wrestling. Another dad was on the mat, the dad of the kid Luke wanted to watch, he quickly took his kids headgear and shoes off when they called Lucas Long. I was looking down at the mat trying to figure out who the kid was with Keegan's head gear on and where the heck did Lucas go. All of a sudden they yell up from the floor for me to watch Luke is wrestling. Hun? What? What is going on? Oh goodness, he is wrestling. Quick grab the camera.
Addie put on her Belle dress and sat here in front of her musical vanity that Santa brought this weekend for a good hour on Sunday. She talked and played and sang and played while the rest of us cleaned.
I am sure Corben thinks they are nuts.
We were able to get a group picture in.
Then a crazy group picture in. This happens to be my kids favorite pose.
I am not sure Corben is ever going to want to visit again. Addi is still hooked on her new best friend. She wanted Corben to have his picture taken with her. As you can see Corben is not exactly sure about it. We don't blame you Corben, we don't know what to make of her either.
Can you beleive this curite will be a year in March?? She is toooooo cute!!
