Wrestling Champion


So we took Cooper to Milford for his first wrestling tournament.  He has been practicing the past two weeks and has a hard time concentrating so we had no idea how he would do.  Coop weighed in at a whopping 37 lbs and then wrestled three times.  The first match he pined the kid in about 45 seconds, the second match they went all three rounds and he won by a score of 15-7 and then the third match he pined the kid in about 20 seconds.  

It's hilarious because he just smiles the whole time while he is wrestling.  He shakes the kid's hand, they ref tells them to wrestle, and then he shoots in and grabs the other kid's legs.  His favorite move is the "cross-face" to get the kid on his back and then he will squeeze as hard as he can until he gets the pin.

You mean a singlet Daisy?

This is so hilarious, he is the cutest little stinker. He is so relaxed and intense at the same time. I love that he had to go to Milford for Wrestling, look at those awesome dudes in the background of the first picture. You have to love when wrestling and Milford combine.

Dad and I just got back from Death Valley. I can't believe how awesome Cooper is! We need to know when these things are going on, so maybe we can make a few of them. Is the season over? Send us a schedule if he is still wrestling.

Love Mom

live it up while you can cooper... there is another scott boy in the family now. with 3 older sisters, it won't be long until he'll be taking you on. if he would just stop pushing the stroller around the house and focus on catching the ball more...

pretty funny though. i too enjoyed the background of the picture. hats are apparently required at these events.
