Tubbs is my little wrestler...and his daddy is just eating it up.(I can see that sparkle in his eye) Actually, Luke really enjoys going to practices at the high school with him and rolling around on the mat like the good ol' days.
Tubbs wrestled last season but he wasn't old enough to compete in tournaments. Not this year.
I have to say, I never attended a wrestling match in high school and if you take a look at this little "get-up," you'll know why. But it looks amazingly "cute" on a Kindergartner. We took Tubbs to pick one up the night before the tournament and he modeled his stance for us. Of course the next morning he decided he didn't want to wear it.
Tubbs talking to the coach before his match.
This is his 2nd tournament. He got a "by" in the first round this week because he placed 2nd in his 1st tournament. We were a little disappointed because we just wanted him to get out on the mat and roll around. Tubbs was disappointed too I think. His 1st tournament he had 3 pins and all of them were in under 30 seconds. In the finals he was winning after 3 rounds 9-2 but quit because he said the kid was "taking too long." But we were very proud of him! His coach really likes him and says he has a lot of "natural ability." I think that comes from defending himself again his 80 pound brother.
Tubbs cheering section
This is the same kid he wrestled in the final last week. Jere are the dads putting the color straps on the legs.
This is the other kids' coach with the camera.....
Round 2
I had to throw this picture in....
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.

I love that Sawyer wrestles. The singlet(??) is hilarious.
Oh, and that picture at the top of your blog of the kids, is hands down, the best picture I've ever seen. They all look so perfect and happy. Did you take that?
