The Thornleys

Not many pictures to update with.   I need to start packing my actual camera around.  Swayzie is at the stage where she sees me turn my camera on my phone and she will run and hide!!  Little Stinker!!!

We went to the Beehive Brawl in Richfield last weekend.  The boys went down with Justin Friday night to weigh in.  Easton decided to drop down a weight class, and he was really worried he wouldn't make it.  But he did! I was so proud of him.  He didn't starve himself but he was careful as to what he ate and he worked hard at the three wrestling practices they had that week.  The boys came home that night, so we could all go down the next morning.  We had to leave by 6:30 a.m.   We got there at 8:00 and didn't leave until 7:00.   It was sure a long day!!!  Swayzie wasn't feeling good and had a fever, so she slept most of the time.  That actually ended up being an okay thing, because I don't think she would have handled 11 hours of sitting otherwise.   

Anyway, there was almost 1000 kids there.  It was awesome! They did a parade of the champions before it started and separated the kids by state.   There were kids from all over the west!  Pretty neat to see all these kids that love wrestling at such a young age (15 and under).   Both boys did a great job wrestling.  Especially since they haven't even been doing it a year!   Mason won 2 matches and lost 2, and was in a bracket with 21 kids!   Easton also won 2 and lost 2, and ended up taking 5th place in his bracket!!! He was so excited to get a medal.   Monty and Byron Christiansen both took 1st in their brackets and won a sweet singlet!   It was a fun day, and I'm so proud of my boys and their dedication they put into this.  

We have been out of town every weekend since the 1st of December!! It's getting so tiring being gone so much, but it's been fun to be together as a family so much.   This weekend we are headed to St. George for Justin's Winter CTE Conference.  


Next weekend we are going to Clay's fight!! I taught Clay all three years of High School, and still stay in contact.  He comes and visits me at work often.  He just started fighting MMA but he is going to be the main event at the fights next weekend.  I'm so excited to go!!! We had a blast when we went last time! So proud of this kid, and that he has followed his dream.
