Wrestling, Easter and More Life

Cole wrestled in his last tournament for this year and had a blast! The two matches he had were against two other boys that have beaten him at other tournaments. The first match Cole won in two rounds by points and he actually used some of the moves he has been taught. For Mom it was very exciting, not the win as much as him actually using the moves correctly. The second match Cole lost the first round by points and was on his way to losing the second round until he did a reverse from his belly and ended up pinning his opponent with seconds left in the round. Technically, it was not as good as his first match but it was a nail biter nonetheless.

He ended his ‘08 wrestling with; 1 - third place, 2 - second place and 2 - first place medals, a ton more experience,
and new friends in the sport.

The rest of the weekend was spent playing with Rachelle and Connie. We stopped by Connie’s classroom and the kids played instruments. Wasn’t the most beautiful sound you have ever heard but they had a good time. Oh, Connie sounded good. Don’t want her to blow her horn over being grouped with the kid’s sounds.

Easter we headed South like every year.
The kids colored their eggs while Dasher (dog) figured out quickly there was no real food being prepared so she took a nap.
I went down to the park early again to help set up the town egg hunt. I love doing this with my old friends. The family came down to the park a little earlier this year because their cousins came to this egg hunt too and were playing in the park while they waited for the hunt to start.

Hannah, Jo and Cole.

Derian was in another area hunting with her age group. She really
has to hunt for eggs in that area because they are hidden, not just dropped on the ground. I think it’s a smaller town thing and she loves it, so much so that she asked to go to this hunt!

Most of the eggs have local business names written on them; you take the egg to that business and they would give you a prize of some sort. Well this year it was huge! Jo came home with a couple dollars, a bunny-potato head and then a stuffed bunny as seen in the photo. Cole won some money as well and also a mini pizza that they shared for lunch.
Too Fun!


Mom and Connie went with a couple other friends on a long motorcycle ride. OHHHHhhhhh MYYYYyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Heaven…I was in Heaven…(come on, sing with me people). I think it was my first time riding with more than one other rider (there were four bikes in all) and it was a very good time. I rode Rachelle’s bike first and it sure made me want to ride fast and corner hard. On the way back I rode Connie’s and it’s a cruiser! Love Love LOVE IT!!!! Did I say Heaven yet? Oh…I did…I was you know…
After the ride Connie and I each took a kid and rode them about a mile up the road and back again. It was their very first ride on a street bike and they didn’t want to get off. Maybe next time it will be a longer ride and maybe on a bigger road, maybe next time.

Jo had a very good time feeding and petting the neighbor’s horses. She was over to the fence every time we headed out the door giving grass and loves. Country Loving.
