Wanna' Wrestle?

Payton had his first wrestling tournament last weekend at Dixie High School. I was nervous to send him because he doesn't really know what he's doing yet and I didn't want to see him cry if he got beat. Shows what a supportive and confident mother I am at my son's skills, I know. Well luckily he only had three kids in his age and weight division so there was no chance of losing. He'd get a medal either way. It was really fun to watch him and his cousins wrestle and the surprising thing was that Payton had fun even when he lost. He beat one kid and lost to another so he took Second place bringing home a silver medal! He's so proud and wears it around all the time. Guess we should have entered him into more than just the last two tournaments but next year might be a different story. I had to include a picture and video of the kid he beat. It was the shortest match so less down loading time. Calico vs Barlow (Dale and Candice Barlow's son). The other match was Calico vs Gifford (Russ and Marsha's boy). He was a bit tougher to wrestle because he actually wrestled back but they were sure cute to watch!

Way to go Payton!! That was some awesome wrestling. Kinda puts his dad's high wrestling days to shame... ok not really, but that was cool to watch him work. Go - Fight - PIN! (Guess that's the cheerleader in me coming out.)

I love that Payton got a medal. He is one good wrestler, just think of the places he could go with all those moves!
