You just might be a redneck, if you bury your 4x4 on your back lawn!
and I mean BURY! btw those are BIG tires! I have huge ruts in my lawn now. I wonder if we will get them smoothed out before the lawn starts growing over them! hmmmmm
You also might be a redneck if you use your barely running piece of junk (don't tell the guys in my family I said that....especially Elijah) truck to get out. Every time they started trying to jerk the truck out, the white beast would stall. It was pretty frustrating! Elijah tried first, and then Kaleb. I think they were relieved when J switched them out and it even stalled on him. I think eventually with the help of the wench (I am not refering to me here!) they were able to get out. The white beast is still in the back yard! I am not sure if they ran out of time, or it wouldn't make it back around! 
This happened friday night, right before Kas's talent show. We were gone all day Saturday, and I forgot all about it, until I came out ready for church sunday morning, and I had to drive the very muddy truck to church....it is either that, or the motorhome. the car is toast! 
He didn't feel well all day. probably a nervous stomach.

His coaches decided to have him wrestle 145 because that gave him a sure shot of making it to regionals. He started the season at 140....and then gradually throughout the season worked his way down to 135. So, last week he has been eating ice cream and other goodies to get his weight back up. I think he went in at 137 or 139. Later we heard the first guy he wrestled came down from 160 to 145! gads!!!!
He didn't feel well all day. probably a nervous stomach. After each round they have to take a rest, so that noone wrestles another match before 45 minutes or so...so the guys will go out on the mat, and play, rest, warm up, wrestle. I love watching them. It is obvious the team is close. they play around a lot.
Here Kaleb is wrestling our heavy weight...I mean he is getting smashed by our heavy weight!
One time Elijah couldn't handle missing out on all the fun. Even though he is only in 7th grade, he has been training with the high school since his season is done...so he knows the guys pretty well. He ran out and tackled a few. I loved how they wrestled with him...these guys are probably practically twice his weight...but also treated him with care so he wouldn't get hurt. 
But, they also aren't making it easy on him! :)
See the little brother. The guys will also let him pin them, and wrestle around! I just love it! J kept telling the little guy to elbow his opponant. finally the coach said there are no elbows in wrestling! it was funny! He didn't want J teaching him bad habits even this early on. 
Poor Kas, has to entertain herself many times! She has missed many a saturday supporting her brothers! I hope they appreciate it!
In his second match, Kaleb had to wrestle a teammate. I didn't like that too well. Not as easy to tell him to kill him! ;) This is right after his win! 
He finished 3rd! which was great. Kaleb is the only freshman in the group...his first opponant was a senior!
I loved this shot! Look how grown up he is! It just makes me crazy!
regionals in tacoma next weekend!
In other sport related news...Elijah started training with the basketball team. He is starting middle of the season, so might not get any game time. We will see. Many of his best friends play and they kept begging him to go out.
