Jake, Jake the wrestling man!

Jake's wrestling season is over. (sigh) It was a long 4 months of 2 practices a week and a tournament every Saturday. Matt was helping coach the team and I think Jake and Matt both enjoyed that. The end of the year party was last Saturday. We were not able to go because we were out of town. So yesterdayMatt and Jake picked up what he would have received at the party. Which was individual pictures and a team picture all on a really nice plaque. Jake also received an awesome trophy. He was never able to place this year at any of the tournaments so I think that the trophy he received was pretty special to him.


You can't tell how happy he is about his trophy and plaque because according Matt "wrestlers don't smile. "


I got him to smile for me though.I am very proud of Jake and all the hard work he did this wrestling season. Jake worked out and conditioned harder than most adults could do and he never complained. Even though most of his Saturdays for 4 months were busy with tournaments and early mornings he didn't complain and always did his best. My little 8 year old son is really growing up. Before I know it he will be a man. sniff sniff.

What a cool trophy! Good job to both of you for sticking it out for 4 MONTHS! That is a long time, and a lot of Saturdays.
