show me the money!....march madness comes to an end

well, as all of you know, the final game of wonderful march madness was on monday night and my hope and faith prevailed and kansas came out victorious. i was the only one in the family to put my faith in kansas and i came out the winner. haha! the wonderful jayhawks stayed focusd in the final seconds of the game to make a glorious 3-point shot to take the game into over time and carried their momentum through the entire over time to pull through with the big "W". needless to say, i was a happy woman monday night...

March Madness-lets go Kansas!!

well dad decided to organize a family bet with our NCAA tournament brackets. so me, jace, mom, dad, nate and madi all filled out brackets and dad put $100 in the pot and the winner takes home the money. so after the first and second round, jace and mom are tied for first but both have one of their final four teams out, nate is next, then me and madi are tied, but poor madi had duke winning it all and sadly they have already lost, and finally dad is bringing up the rear with the least amount of points. but dad and i are definitely still in the game and could possibly take the win because we both still have all of our final four teams. it will be interesting to see how the next couple weekends play out. hopefully kansas will pull through and ill be able to take the big W. it sure has been fun having a friendly competition with the fam.

ONE YEAR Anniversary!!!!!

We left St. George on thurs, March 6, and drove down to Phoenix to stay with his mission companion and his family for a few days. while in phoenix, we got to go watch the utah jazz play the phoenix suns. the game was so close and way intense and the jazz ended up pulling through and winning. it was tons of fun! on sunday, march 9, we drove to vegas to spend our anniversary there. we stayed at the south point casino (picture above). it is on the south end of the strip and is a super nice hotel. we had tons of fun in phoenix and in vegas, and

Our Wednesday Night

Well we are spending the night eating dinner from Pizza Factory and watching the Jazz game. The Jazz are playing the Pistons and its an extremely close game. The Jazz were down 18 points at one time and came back and are now leading by 7. Needless to say, for those of you who know Jace and his extreme love affair with the Jazz, it has been a stressful night. Here are some pictures to show the toll that the game is putting on him.

After all the stress and the screaming and yelling, the Jazz pulled it off and beat the Pistons 103-95. In the life of Jace, it was a good night.

Presidents Day Weekend

well we had a great presidents day weekend with our friends Jory and the Ouderkirks. They came from Phoenix and Vegas to visit us for a few days. It was great fun! The Ouderkirks little girl Jayden came too and it was so great to see her! She is getting so big! She is about 7 months old and has such a great personalitly!
