Big Kids!

Today was Sari's birthday! Wahoo she is "FINALLY" 4 years old as she says. Who knew it would take so long! She loved her pinata. After the kids were in bed I finished it up. This morning after they woke up I asked Lincoln what he thought of our pinata. He said "it's not very good mom." I said "What?!" He said "mom, it just doesn't look very good" I asked him if he didn't think it looked like Dora and he answered, "no, It's doesn't even look like it" I was trying not to be offended and kinda just moved on and he went back to watching cartoons. I got breakfast on the table and when he came in the kitchen he saw the pinata on the counter. " wow mom that looks just like Dora!" It was my mistake to take into consideration that he hadn't seen it when he woke up and came upstairs.

Sari's party was pretty low key. I was trying to decide if I really should hang up the Dora head pinata from the ceiling of my garage, and then let the kids take turns smacking the crap out of her... I let them. And they loved it. I was just hoping the neighbors didn't see the head hanging from the ceiling and think we had gone crazy or something.
Today was also Lincoln's first wrestling match. Lincoln loves going to pratice and loves to wrestle with his daddy. He absolutly will not wrestle with Sari. They did once and the first 2 seconds Sari was too aggresive for him and he ended up bawling. So I was very nervous to send him to a match. In fact, Aaron and I and talked about not putting him in any matches this year. At least not until he knew what he was doing. So 5 minutes before they left to go "watch" the match, Aaron decided that he would let him do a match today. So we all loaded up and went to Lincoln's first wrestling match. He loved it!! I would tell you all about it but instead here is the video. For those of you who aren't his grandparent or family member I understand if you skip the video. it's kind of long and done with my camera, since Aaron was so excited he forgot to get out the camcorder.

He had a second match as well and won! Of course the battery on my camera died. I know that when Lincoln is older he will accuse me of the exact same thing my brother Wylie accused my mom of.( the only difference is that in this case, Lincoln will be right!) Wylie would always say, "Mom, why didn't you record the one that I did so good in?"

Lincoln, Next time I will bring the camcorder and make sure someone records you! Way to go buddy! I am so proud of you! Love, Mom.
