Our KSL Experience

The other day our tramp completely broke in two. The kids were so sad because that is their favorite "outside" toy right now. I told them that we needed to save up before we could buy a new one. But then I said...what if we sell our pink slide then we can use that money towards a new tramp. We bought the pink slide for Zeth when he was 2 years old so we have had it for 12 years. We bought it for about $300 but now to get one new it is about $400. I said to Russ, let's list it at $200. He said to give us some room to negotiate so I listed it for $250. When I was done typing all the stuff onto KSL and hit enter Russ said so back and look to see if it got listed. I went back to the listing and we saw that someone had already looked at it, just then the phone rang..."I want to buy your slide if you haven't already sold it" I started laughing...I hadn't even gotten up from the computer. She said that she had cash in hand and that they would be here in 20 minutes. I said OK!!! I got 4 more calls before she even got here. Russ and I were laughing so hard..I said what else can we sell...this is fun!!! We went that day and bought a tramp for $260! It was a great day at our house!

The DISTRICT Tournament

Zeth took second in the District Tournament. His final match went into quadruple overtime. During one of the over-times Zeth had a takedown which is worth 2 points..just before he could finish the move and get the 2 points the referee from the other mat blew his whistle and Zeth thought it was his ref so he jumped up thinking he had the 2 points. Then the Centerville kid went and scored 1 point in the next round so he ended up winning...I was so sad!!! I have that match taped, it is over ten minutes long. It is hard for me to watch just because had the whistle been blown just a second later Zeth would have won. But he is actually doing a lot better than I am about it. It was an incredible match and he never gave up! Great job Zeth for an awesome year of wrestling...I look forward to next year!

North End Tournament.....FIRST PLACE!

YEAH! Zeth was awesome and had a great day with no mistakes. He looked like he was just having fun out there. I have included one of my very favorite matches for everyone to see. This match was one the that he needed to win so that he could wrestle for first or second. The final match that night Zeth won 13 to 1...pretty crazy for a championship match, but like I said he was having a great night. Syracuse Junior High took First Place over all in the North End...which was a lot of fun to see too. It was a close race between Syracuse and West Point...but Syracuse came out on top by 11 points!
