A year of sports and all that comes with it

This fall we started up the usual sport activities, but now we have two boys in them. Which is very interesting. We started off with tackle football for Logan. Half way through the year I learned there is flag football offered as well. But, he liked the tackling (even if it was him that got tackled). We somehow managed to go through the entire season without any injuries!
Five days after Logan ended football he broke his left clavicle. Bennet, Logan and I were playing football in the house. Bennet went in for the tackle and landed on Logan. Snapped it pretty good. He was in a sling for about 5 weeks until we got the clear for activities (but no more wrestling). We then hopped into soccer on the weekends, where both boys were involved with this activity. Jeremy coached Bennet's team, while Logan played on the bigger kid league.
I think we had a few weeks in between football/soccer and the start of wrestling for Bennet. After the first few days we noticed that this is his sport. He practiced for about a month with other boys and coaches until he had his first match/tourney in Chanhassen. In his weight class, a whopping 36 lbs, there were 3 other kids he would wrestle. Here are a few pics of him during the matches. He took 2nd place in his weight class. Pretty proud!
And now Logan just started up basketball, so we are consumed with sports for both kids again at the same time. I will get pictures of those up one of these days:)
