Whirlwind

Wow, it has sure been crazy the last few weeks.  Between wrestling, gymnastics, bowling and swimming lessons we don't have many free nights.  Throw in travelling baseball try outs and our week is full every night of the week except Saturday night! 

Skyler particpated in the State Wrestling tournament in Rochester, March 12-14.  Unfortunately, he did not do as well a he had hoped (or Josh) but he wrestled two very tough kids.  He was pinned both times and the matches went very quickly so I do not have any pictures to post.  Trust me you wouldn't want to have seen them anyways.   Just when we thought the wrestling season was winding down the Freestyle/Greco season has started.  He has practice on Tuesday and Thursday and will continue going to Pinnacle on Sunday.  Needless to say he will be VERY busy especially once Traveling Baseball starts.  We had conferences tonight and he is doing GREAT!  It is a breath of fresh air to leave his conference with all good news...much better than past years!!!

Cash graduated from the Starfish swimming lesson program through Northfield and believe it or not he did finally go under the water.  I think we will take the summer off before moving to the next level.  A few weeks ago he took his first bus ride for his preschool field trip to Cub Foods.  Josh decided he would chaperone, he said it was quite the experience.  I think Cash's favorite part was the bus ride!!!  He is still talking about it.  Other exciting new is Cash has learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike without training wheels.  He still has his occassional falls but after about 3 days of praciting and quite a few spills he has almost mastered it.  By the end of April he will be a pro at it!

Carter is still loving her bimnastics (aka Gymnastics)!!!  She just can't get enough of it so we have decided to enroll both her and Cash in the next Spring session.  She also had her preschool screening through Randolph Schools. Josh took her as I took Cash last year.  He said she did great with the exception of the hearing exam.  She ended up failing that portion, he wasn't sure if she was just distracted or if she indeed didn't hear it.  She will be re taking it in the fall so fingers crossed she passes.

Charli has had a rough month after two ear infections she is finally on the mend and definitely has a case of Spring fever.  I think she would be outside from sun up to sun down if we let her.  She loves following her borthers and sister around the yard or just hanging out on the deck.
