Our XXXS wrestler

{ Are those little buns not the cutest things you've ever seen?? } 

Seeing Brooks flex his muscles in his first, XXXS, wrestling singlet (Adam was SO excited to buy it for his boy while at the Olympic Trials supporting his brother Ben) got me nervous...my Little B seemed to instantly turn into a Big B.  But then I realized how loose it is around his small hips and legs and I felt a bit better. ;) Will I ever get over my anxiety of my little ones growing up much too fast?? Probably not.

I really am excited though to get him into wrestling in a few years and see how he likes it. Adam has told me numerous times about how much wrestling influenced his life growing up. He'll tell you it kept him in shape and kept him out of trouble. :)  He wasn't very good at the start...but worked hard, trained long hours, and  dedicated himself to excelling at the sport. *Brag time*...he competed at the state level three times and took the state title his Senior year of high school. I married a Champ. :)

Both of our Dads, three of my brothers, and all three of Adam's brothers also wrestled...you could say it's in Brooks' blood. ;) 

And speaking of wrestling...on Monday I watched the news to catch a clip that involved my brother in-law Ben.  It shares an incredible story of a teenage boy who struggled with autism and bullying, but wrestling and training with Ben helped him overcome the odds. :) SO inspiring!

Spiritual Health:

Listened to President Ezra Taft Benson's talk from April 1989, "Beware of Pride." I definitely needed the reminder to not seek for the approval and praise others, but to seek the praise of Heavenly Father.
