July 4th at Gram & Pappa's

For the 4th of July, Zade and Caitlin came to Mountain Home to hang out for the weekend. Heather and Ken brought Tate and the twins from Salt Lake to stay for the week while Heather and Ken went to Hawaii. Uncle Dick and Aunt Virginia surprised us with a visit and also came to stay. Jason and Ashlie came and visited with Jalie and Kylie. The house has been pretty chaotic with all the kids and people but we have had a lot of fun. The kids have been playing a lot outside and loving it. Last night we did sparklers and made smores. After ice cream cones and smores it is official that the twins have NEVER had that much sugar, and it was all under Gram's watchful eye!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KYLIE- JUNE 3RD

Orme Family

So mom's birthday is coming up. What about everyone getting together for family pictures in Mountain Home. That is what she wants more than anything. We could do them over a weekend and hire someone to take them. So basically its the Womacks that we are asking to come to Mountain Home. Would that be possible?

CHAD- MARCH 7TH

We just wanted to tell Ashlie to get feeling better! She had her surgery on her foot last week. Mom and dad have been watching the girls at the house for a few days. It sounds like they are loving having them there! We hope to see Jason & Ashlie in Salt Lake for her follow up appointment if she is up to it! Again..ASHLIE WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU GET BETTER!

"What you talkin about"

This weekend we were at the parents house. Heather, Scott and Sunny drove with the twins to Mountain Home. We had a good weekend hanging out and going to Jalie's birthday party. But the most memorable part was Kallee's quote. We were all sitting around the living room and someone said I think Kallee stinks. Heather was holding Jakob on the couch because he wasn't feeling well. Heather kept asking Kallee if she went poop. Kalle kept right on playing and was ignoring her. Finally Heather asked Kallee to come over to where she was. Kallee went over and put her elbows on the arm of the chair. Heather asked several times if she had gone poop. Finally Kallee said "What you talkin about". Oh my gosh we all were laughing so hard. Kallee just looked at us like we were silly. The things kids say!

"What you talkin about"

half marathon

Well...I survived my first half marathon! 13.1 miles of hell! I was feeling really good at mile ten but shortly after, my back started having spasms. I found myself on the lawn of some guy's house trying to work out the spasm. Then...my feet swelled up so my big toes were rubbing against the front of my shoes. My right toenail turned black and will most certainly fall off later.

But....
The weather was perfect and the trail was beautiful...it wound around several Saint George golf courses. Some of the houses we passed were enormous! I was inspired by the many people along the trail holding up signs cheering on Dad, Mom, Granny, brothers and sisters etc. It was very gratifying to cross the finish line and to find my beautiful wife waiting for me at the end.

As I was finishing I thought that this must be how it will be in the hereafter. We run this race we call life. There are good things and bad along the way. When we cross the finish line, we will be greeted by those we love and that is all that really matters. I was very emotional and couldn't even talk for a few minutes. I am sore and as of now, I am saying "never again" but time will tell. Already I am forgetting the bad and remembering the good!

LOCAL COACH STILL LOVES TO GRAPPLE

BY NUR KAUSAR • nkausar@thespectrum.com • January 11, 2009

CEDAR CITY — The threat of getting kicked out of school for fighting sparked a lifelong love of wrestling that transcended the Green River high school gym boundaries for Jerry Womack.


“It was a fluke,” the 48-year-old Cedar City Police detective sergeant said of his beginnings in the sport. “My principal said you either join the wrestling team or I’ll kick you out.”

The ultimatum paid off in the end, as Womack went on to become the wrestling team captain his senior year with a 27-2 record 30 years ago.

It paid off even more as the sport later encompassed his family and became a hobby he still enjoys today as an assistant coach for the Canyon View wrestling team.
Canyon View High, Cedar High and Iron Town Duels Wrestling Tournament honored Womack for his dedication Saturday afternoon during the tournament with the Iron Town Duels Service Award. Womack’s family, along with 11 different teams and dozens of community members and coaches, cheered on as he received a plaque in the Canyon View High gym.

“I’d say he’s ornery,” Womack’s oldest son, Zade Womack, 23, joked about his father.

“But at least he’s consistent,” Womack’s mother Clydene Womack chimed in, laughing.

Zade Womack started wrestling at age five, with his dad as his mentor as he continued the sport in high school, he said.

Jerry Womack started his children off as soon as they could, coaching a little league club team at Cedar High School before Canyon View even existed, he said.
The little league wrestlers traveled all over the state, and Womack’s parents said they missed very few matches of their son or even their grandchildren.

“We would travel with him all over,” Clydene Womack said. “I was a wrestling mom – the real soccer mom.”

“Once there was this terrible referee and he didn’t even leave from the front door. He snuck into the locker room, didn’t even take his things and sped off in his car. He knew I was going to lynch him. I was off the bleachers and on the mat during that match. (My husband) was always embarrassed of me,” she laughed.

This passion passed on to Jerry Womack as he helped his six children when they joined their respective sports, but wrestling was always No. 1.

“Wrestling is the best sport to teach discipline,” he said. “It’s one-on-one so you can’t rely on anybody to help you. You can’t go into it half-hearted – you have to give it your all, whole-heartedly, if you want to come out on top.”

Service Award

Hey,
Check this out! My wife and kids conspired against me to suprise me. I received this award at the "Iron Town Duels" wrestling tournament. It was a cool day. The whole family was there. It can be found on-line at the Spectrum/Daily News newspaper.
