SPF Ironman

This weekend we were in Knoxville to watch Caton compete in the SPF Ironman Powerlifting competition. While it was a very long weekend...Caton did awesome!!!

He ended up squatting 850lbs, benching 585lbs, and deadlifting 725lbs (this was a PR). That all put his total at 2160 (another PR).

He won first place in his weight class! We are so proud!!

The kids did a great job hanging in there for the long haul on Saturday. The meet started at 8:30, but Caton didn't even begin benching until around noon. Then the squats began around 4 and we weren't finished until about 9pm. Thank goodness we were able to get a room in the hotel where the meet was being held - we were able to go to the room and take naps and relax between events. Also (and probably the most favorite of the kids) the hotel had an indoor pool...we spent a few hours in the water!!

And just a side note: Weslie totally thought that she could swim. She marched herself right off the stairs and was just looking up at me from just under the water. I was sitting on the side holding Kole...Kade ended up jumping in and rescuing her! It was quite the event!!

Stay tuned for a picture recap of the weekend too.
