Jazz game

Once a year we get to go to a Jazz basketball game. Shawn helps run the Junior Jazz program at work. So the Jazz does a dinner in one of the suites to tell all of the coordinators thanks.  They do treats during half time and a fun prize drawing. We also got free parking...what a deal :) I look forward to it every year, it almost makes the 3 months of  Junior Jazz season almost bearable.

This is where we entered the arena...down stairs...kinda cool.

Shawn had to get a picture by the Employees of Excellence.

The actual basketball game.

 They gave us this cool Jazz apron, and I won a deck of Jazz playing cards and a Jazz calculator at the prize drawing.

 I am already looking forward to next years dinner :)

Our first Karate tournament

Our newest adventure...KARATE! I sure love this kid :)

Our family tree

I have been working on a new project...a Family Tree. I got the idea from Pinterest, then adapted it to fit the frame I already had. We used scrapbook ink to have everyone make their hand prints. I then drew the tree behind it. It turned out cuter then I thought it would :)

The candles that wouldn't blow out :) This is so funny.

American West Heritage Center

This weekend we went up to Logan, Utah and spent some time with my sister and her family. We went to the American West Heritage Center, it was Baby Animal Days. Funny thing is, we only saw the baby bears...we did other stuff instead of waiting in the long lines to see the other baby animals, haha. They had a candy cannon, an old western gunfight, a grease pole, and the Lil Buckaroo Rodeo. To be in the rodeo you had to weigh under 80 lbs...so only the youngest 2 did it. The video is posted below...it was the highlight of the day, so much fun. 

Mr. A trying to climb the greased pole...there was money at the top :)

 Can you see the white stuff at the top? It is grease, and the money is stuck in it. The boys loved climbing that thing. My sisters boy climbed it at least 20 times. Her 2nd son even ripped of a piece of one of the $'s. The pole was probably 20 feet in the air.

And you all know where ever I go I need a treat :) This is a funnel cake with regular old strawberries and whipping creme...it was delish...

And this work of art would be a funnel cake "Boston Creme Pie" style, or as my sister called it "A funnel cake on STEROIDS".

And yes....I ate the WHOLE thing...OK, I really didn't, I shared it with my family...how nice of me:)

All in all the day was great, definitely something we will do again. Thanks for inviting us to come up Shelley :)

Miss. K riding her first sheep...she had a little help :)

Mr. A riding his first sheep...he kinda got ran over....but he only cried for a second.

Round two...no fire :)

The 2nd birthday cake in 9 days...and there was no FIRE...yeah me!

Our family has 1 birthday a month for 6 months in a row...we are almost to the end. Mine is last, in May. Miss. S wanted a very special birthday cake...a J.Wride (her favorite band) cake. They are more of a local band...so it's not like I could go to Costco and order it. I had to be creative. This is what we came up with...the J.Wride hand sign...can you see the "J" and the "W"? 

p.s Miss.S is our little trickster... she loves April fools day...so those are re-lighting candles we got for her cake, haha.
