The Predator




On the 21st Mason and Chili Wrestled in a tournament called The Predator World Championships which was held in Monroe which was nice since we didn't have to travel too great of a distance for a large national competition. The boys each had about 12 boys in their brackets, Chili's group is ages 13-15, and they aren't supposed to be sophmores in high school yet, however the sophmore thing is in the very fine print and is often ignored which makes the competition pretty unfair actually. Now that I'm done complaining, I can say that Chili did very well. He worked very hard and got all the way to the finals and then lost to a sophmore and then had to wrestle for 2nd & 3rd against another sophmore and lost again taking a 3rd overall. He wrestled very well and if the rule had been enforced he would likely have taken 1st place. Mason's age group is made up of 9 & 10 year olds and he is still 9... that being said, Mason went into this tournament looking for nothing short of a 1st place trophy. He wrestled better and stronger than he ever had before and not only won every match but completely dominated every match. He pinned 3 of the kids and won the other 2 by 9 & 10 points!!! Mason came home with his very first 1st place trophy, from a large tournament!! We are so proud of our boys!!

Mason

May was a pretty crazy month for us and though it was difficult the boys did their best to help us take it all instride. Mason was an especially helpful trooper and has tried not to hold it against us that we spent the week of his birthday in the hospital causing the delay on certain special birthday traditions like our one-on-one date the night where he gets to stay up as late as he wants, his brothers doing all of his chores for him, and a few other things like presents since I have not had the opportunity to get him anything yet. With our lives so busy Mason was great about it all and I really appreciate all that he sacrificed on his special day so that we could take care of Jer... We love you Mason!!
