Wrestling at Desert Hills

I simply can't get enough of watching Cutler wrestle!!

This tournament was such a good one and he wrestled a lot. 

I hope you keep this up buddy!! I love it!!

This first kid was quite a bit bigger than Cutler, which wore him out! 

But he didn't give up!!

Right here he finally pinned the kid after going 3 rounds and almost completely out of energy.

This next match was torture to watch!

Cutler had him almost pinned I don't know how many times. 

He probably really was pinned but the ref didn't see!

And he didn't seem to really know what he was doing, which is what killed me. Cutler should have won this one right off the bat!

And this match was easy peasy!

Hallelujah!!

After waiting for what felt like at least an hour for his next match, we were ready to be done.

I was so glad this one went fast!

[is that bad?]

I love watching them prepare to slap the mat!!

Yeah buddy!!!

Arrow of Light

Noah received his Arrow of Light last night. 

This is such a big accomplishment and award for cub scouts. 

It's the only badge that can be transferred from the cub shirt to the boy scout shirt.

He worked so hard to finish everything that we thought he had to have done. 

Come to find out, he passed off WAY more things than were necessary. 

Oops!

 But it's ok, teaches him it's ok and good to go above and beyond.

Good job Buddy!! We're so proud of you!!

They have some boys in the stake that come and do the Order of the Arrow.

These boys were awesome!!

They did such a good job.

First they explained what the Arrow of Light was, and then they asked him if he worked hard and understood what the award was that he was receiving.

Then they do a little dance, and teach it to Noah, and he has to do it.

Part of it entails throwing a feather over his shoulder, dancing around it and then picking it up off the floor with his mouth. Without touching the ground.

SO FUN!!

And he finally got it!!

Out for a walk

Colby took all the kids on a walk over to the store today. They rode their bikes, but he walked Mason in the stroller. His first time in the big boy stroller, without the carseat!!

And he loved it!!

#paintednotcarved

I'm not happy about the big scratch, but it's good to know there are good people out there who take responsibility for their actions.

Happiest Halloween!
