Wrestling Dinner

Tonight was Tristan and Jasen's end of the season wrestling dinner. Their coach called up Jasen and congratulated him on a great first season, and said he is looking forward to next year with him. He also called up Tristan and congratulated him on another great season. He mentioned how much he appreciates Tristan's willingness to wrestled where the team needs him- whether that's at 220 pounds, or 195 pounds- and that Tristan works hard and never complains. Tristan also earned his Varsity Letter and wrestling pin, which is so awesome! He's also looking forward to next season.

Spartan

Tristan is currently taking a Military History class (which he loves!), and their big project this semester was to build a life-sized Spartan shield, along with a spear, helmet, and body armor. Tristan has been saving a huge cardboard box for months, and he was so excited to build his stuff. He did his project almost completely by himself, and it turned out great!

Animal Cell

Hunter's class has been working on cells in Science, and they had a project to make an Animal Cell model. Hunter came up with his idea, made a list of things he needed, I helped him get things from the store, and Cahl helped him make a stand, but Hunter built the whole model by himself! I'm continually in awe of how much detail and effort he puts into his projects, and that he always does them with very little help.

Valentine's Day

This year for Valentines Day, Hunter picked out Valentine whoopee cushions for his classmates, with a chocolate rose for his teacher. Brinley did little gum rolls for her classmates, with a stuffed lion for her teacher. Her class also had a 50's themed party, and she was so excited to dress up as a Pink Lady! Cahl also helped her decorate her Valentine box, and she did the hearts herself. Since Cahl ended up out of town this week, he sent Tristan on a mission to get me flowers and chocolates first thing in the morning :)

Snow Camp

This year was Hunter's first snow campout for Scouts, and he was so excited to go with his friend Scotty! Jasen also went, although he was not as excited when he got there and realized he had forgotten his snow pants and coat. But they all had a good time, and Hunter can't wait to go again!
