Weekend with Grandpa Stacy

During our crazy wrestling weekend, Grandpa Stacy got to join in on the fun! The bleacher butt was intense, but he was a good sport about the long car rides and sitting for hours watching Braxton and hanging out with the other grandkids...  We did get some fun in though, after wrestling was over we dyed our Easter eggs and spent time hanging out together at the house...

Wrestlemania!

Last weekend we headed out for a weekend of wrestling!  Braxton qualified for regionals in Pine River, so that meant wrestling in Bemidji on Saturday. He had to place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in order to move on from there. He pinned his first guy, won by points on his 2nd, pinned his 3rd and lost to his last guy to end up in 2nd place for the day. That means we are headed to Rochester next weekend for state wrestling!  Big things for our little guy!

We then headed up to Fosston on Sunday for team wrestling. Braxton is an alternate, so we were not sure how much wrestling that he would actually do, but he actually got to wrestle every round. The first round was just an exhibition match, but he was able to pin his guy. He then wrestled at the 45 or 50 pound weight class for the next 5 matches and won every one of his matches, either by points or by pin. It was a great weekend of wrestling and his coaches were very impressed with him.

Hardcore!

We took Braxton over to Pine River this weekend to qualifiers. In order to move on for wrestling at this point, you have to place at least 1st or 2nd. He wrestled hard and came home with a 1st place finish, winning his first match 8-0 and pinning his next 2 guys. Very proud of the way he wrestled today!

Sleepover Fun!

With the amount of running that we have been doing this winter, Bella had to be really patient in getting her birthday party...  especially when she wanted to have a slumber party!  Finally it happened though and although mom and dad had to recover for the weekend, everything went really well! She has a fun group of friends and for a girl party it was surprisingly drama free! :)  They even let Braxton tag along for most of the party, which was pretty dang impressive!!

Birthday Bash

It has been such a crazy couple of months!  We just got time to get the family together for the annual Bella and Parker birthday bash...  and since it was so close to Braxton's birthday, we threw him in there as well! :) We went and played games, ate lots and spent time together as a family.  Love that!
