3rd Row Baby!

Earlier today my Aunt Jackie called and asked if we wanted tickets to the Jazz game tonight. Of course we said yes and they ended up being on the 3rd row! Neither one of us have ever sat that close before. We were right behind the basket closest to the Jazz bench. It was a great game. Jess and I were even on the Jumbo Tron a few time. One time I was on there by myself dancing. ( I was trying to win free food from Costa Vita) It is so much different when you are that close. All of the players look so big.
When we were leaving we went down onto the floor and out the tunnels. On the way out we passed Jerry Sloan. He was walking right in front of us. I took a lot of pictures so be prepared!

Jess and I down on the court after the game.

These next pictures are just some of the I took of the players during the game. They were just so close so I had to try and get some good ones.



We are standing on the court during halftime.

More pictures!



These were our seats, only two rows in front of us! It's crazy! I still can't believe we were that close!






Thanks again Aunt Jackie! We had a great time!

Lake Tahoe

Last Sunday Jess' brother Kirk came up to visit and said that he was leaving on Tuesday to go to Lake Tahoe on business. He invited Jess and their other brother Paul to go. So on Tuesday they were headed to Lake Tahoe.
On Wednesday they went skiing at a resort called North Star. I think this picture is so cool with the lake in the background.

Jess is skiing though the trees. He said the snow was awesome!

On Thursday Jess and his brother Paul drove to California and went to the ocean. They stopped at a place called Meir beach near San Francisco.

Jess said the waves were really big and there were some people surfing. The weather was around 67 degrees and needless to say I was really jealous! It was snowing here and I am ready for spring!



Jess found these clams on the beach.

This is a picture of the beach from highway 1. Jess said the view from highway 1 was amazing.

This is a picture of the cabin that they stayed in. It was located right on Lake Tahoe.

Jess took this picture from the balcony inside the cabin.


On Friday night is snowed about 2 feet so when they went skiing on Saturday they were skiing in a whole bunch of new powder!

While Jess was away I spent most of the time hanging out with my family. On Saturday my mom, sister, and my neighbor Chelsie came over and we made some seasons blocks. I had already done Fall and Winter so these are the two I did.

Super Bowl Party

This year for the Super Bowl we invited some of our friends and family over for a party at our house. I fried some tortilla shells for taco salads and made some football cookies. Everyone brought something to eat so we had tons of great food. We had a lot of fun hanging out and watching the game. I made some decorations for our house and the tables. Here are a few pictures.

The Saints table

The Colts table.

Are group of friends used to go to Monday night football at Iggie's before they closed. Two of our friends won these helmets during their halftime give away. I thought it was cool that the two helmets that they won were the teams that went to the super bowl. They were great decorations!



Everyone hanging out watching the game.

Grandma and Bryan watching the game. Bryan wasn't to happy with the game right then.

My mom and dad watching the game. They were both cheering for the Saints.

We all enjoyed the helmets. They were pretty easy to get on but really hard to get off.

Max even tried on one of the helmets.

After the game the boys went down stairs to play some ping pong.

Roman, David, and Hily with the helmets. Everyone wanted to try them on.

Roman is the cutest Saints player.

We had a "predict the final score" contest and Stacey won. She is holding her prize which was a Colts football and point to her winning prediction.
