The Easter Bunny found the Stone's in good form this year. We are so grateful for the blessings we have and for the friends and family that enrich our lives. In light of the recent economy troubles I have been able to reevaluate my interpretation of true wealth. Three years ago I would have deemed a man wealthy by the size of his home, cars he drove, and toys in his garage. As I have been humbled as of late I have a clearer perspective of what true wealth is and what I deem valuable in this life. In a nutshell it is all of the things that money can not buy: The opportunity to be a father, A beautiful,faithful, loving wife; a strong, healthy body and mind; Healthy Children who luckily love to wrestle (Even Tommy); Family and friends close by to share this journey with; And finally, an all knowing compass to lead and guide me in this life. Anyway, so so sappy, but it is the Easter Post, come on.
The Saturday before Easter we had our annual Hidden Springs Easter Egg Hunt and then went home and died eggs and Ashlee made lots of different Easter treats. Good Times!
Snakebite Tournament
Our club wrestling team (Idaho Rattlers) hosted our first tournament last weekend and it was a great time. Our little Wylie bear has taken on "Ferdinand The Bull" traits as he sometimes wrestles hard and aggressive and other times he just smiles and looks right at me while they take him down. I posted his best clip from the tournament where he placed 4th. We almost had to change his last name though because two of his losses came to girls, but we decide to keep him after all.

I agree, you do have a beautiful wife, both inside and out. You are a blessed man!
Nice post...I started to laugh thinking Wylie just smiled at you and let the girls win...hummm...that boy is smart and starting young...let the girls have their way and it will all work out!! Who did he learn that from....you or Ashlee? It's like the little saying coming out of his head...it's ok Dad...she thinks I am cute and I think she is cute..it will all be ok..we're friends....winning a wrestling match isn't all it's cracked up to be..I can be happy winning or not! That is why children are so great!!! Pure and innocent!! You are right...you are very blessed !
Riggin seems to be getting some weight on him. I'm glad your boys like to wrestle, too. Thanks for sharing the moment. Love you, Mom and DW
I didn't realize Easter and Wrestling were all on the same blog. Son, you have a handle on what is important. The best things in life are free. I think that everytime I see a sunset,a kind act, a loving family, etc. Love you, Mom & DW
