Jackson's first band concert

Jackson is learning the french horn.  A strategic move- hoping it will help him get into college on a scholarship.  Always thinking that kid!  He's doing pretty well considering his busy school schedule only allows for band every other week, and foreign language the other.  He looked mights handsome on stage even if he did get a bad hair cut the night before (he was growing his hair out for that long shaggy Justin Bieberish look.  He was so close to having it until he went for his first haircut by a real stylist, not related to him.  She just did what she wanted and took all the length off the top.  Poor kid, he was upset!) Hope he sticks with it. 


Wrestling

This was Jacob's second year of wrestling.  Last year was a tough year.  The team was new at his school, and he had a lot to learn.  This year was much better.   He learned new moves and became quicker on his feat.  I was able to watch the matches without covering my eyes.  It's hard to see your baby in pain.  In my eyes, his opponents take it much to seriously and fight unfairly.  Of course, that is the wrestling right?  It's either him or you.  Of course I didn't get to see many matches this year but here's some pictures from the last tournament.  He quickly pinned his first opponent, lost on points in the second match, and was pinned in the first round of his last match.
