State Duals 2011

Nashua-Plainfield Husky wrestlers have a new trophy to add to the case!! They came home with 3rd place at State Duals! Here are some shots I took...GO HUSKIES!

My three little brothers!

Scott was a volunteer coach for part of the season...

Christmastime is here...

do you have all your cards sent?

are the presents wrapped and under the tree?

is the baking done and ready to be eaten? 

is the tree trimmed?

is the sidewalk shoveled?

is the wreath hung on the door?

are you ready for this?

or, have you maybe forgot the true meaning of Christmas? 

Sometimes, it's ok to forget about all those things I mentioned above, the cards, presents, tree, and shoveling.  Think about this Christmas and those who mean so very much to you.  Material things should not have a hold of your heart...that iPod you have been hoping for, or that pair of earrings you have been hinting about are things that will be forgotten much faster than the memories you have made with the people you love. Think about all God has blessed you with.  Where would we be if God hadn't sent his son to Earth?  When you think about it that way, presents don't really make sense anymore do they?   
If you still are not really getting what I mean, check out this video, Linus has a clear meaning of what the season means...

After being so very busy these past few weeks with work, cheerleading, Jason with school, wrestling meets and basketball games, and teaching religion, I can hardly wait for tomorrow.  Why?  I have nothing planned that I need to be at.  I have the entire evening to be with the one person who understands me better than anyone in the world.  Who wouldn't want that for Christmas?

Oh, Christmas Tree....

I had an incredibly busy weekend...here's everything that I did!

Went to Andy's wrestling meet in Elgin on Saturday, he got 2nd place.  The guy that got first is ranked 2nd in the 1A division, and he placed at state last year...

The team came out on top with a win though!!

My lovely cheerleaders...

I took 2 All-State girls down to practice thier cheer routine in Des Moines on Sunday, then came home and helped Jason set up the Christmas tree! 

Pretty, Pretty!

Bad picture (my camera hated the lighting), but we have silvery glittery glass bulbs hanging from our tree.

Another bad picture, but you can already see here that the cats have decided this is thier tree now.  Trixie already climbed it a few times last night!  Oh well... : )  It sure is beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas!

This is what I am going to be watching today...

N-P Wrestling!!!! : ) 

I love this picture...Andy is wrestling, while little brother Jacob is watching and learning in the upper right hand corner.

Andy with his first pin of the season...

Jacob's first pin of the season...

Way to go Jake!! :)

I'm off to Elgin to watch Andy wrestle today...happy Saturday!!
