Let's Go Utah Jazz!!

We are on our way to see the Utah Jazz Game!

One upon a night, not long ago,

My friend Slade and I took 6 kids (besties) on the train, and went

downtown to see the Jazz game

Riding on the train is so much fun... especially when you act like monkeys

taking the stairway to Heaven (aka Nose Bleed Section)

We got to meet Jazz Bear Jr.  

or Bear 1/2

He was soooo cute!!! I wanted to pick him up and carry him home ;)

We found our seats! Yay! Go Jazz!

As you can see... we are three rows down from the very top!!

Nose Bleed Section indeed

I was sitting in my seat and minding my own business, and all of the sudden

It starting raining silly string all over us!!!

Silly little Jazz Bear!!

This girl gets the "Cheer Award" for the night...

She cheered her little heart out!

The Jazz take the win!!! 

Go Jazz!!

It's Not Easy Being Green

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day...

yes... we saw a lot of green... but what you don't see is my cute birdies dressed in all of their green... They wouldn't pose for one picture!?!  So I took pictures of my next favorite thing :) FOOD!

Corned Beef and Cabbage??! Yes please!! Mmmmmmm Dinner was delicious!!

 Luck of the Irish! I got one picture (barely)

Finger Lickin' Good

 Me and My Birdies were blessed with the 12 Days of Christmas this year!!

Two of Santa's Helpers delivered these gifts and I will be eternally greatful to them

They brought more than just presents... 

they brought 

pure Joy and excitement 

and the Christmas Spirit to our home

Thank you!!!!

 I will be posting the 12 Days of Christmas, following the Holiday Season...

For I want to enjoy my Holidays with these 3 Birds

 On the First Day of Christmas we received a Gingerbread House making kit

 It was a whole family effort...

The kids did Great!!!

I just kept licking my fingers, and eating the decorations

 but left enough for the house and little Gingerbread Train

Looks like I wasn't the only one lickin' their fingers ;)

Can you say Finger Lickin' Good??

Officially 9

 Kelly's Son, Kelson, is officially 9 years old!!

This was him at 2 weeks old

his cousin Mason loved holding this little squirt
I did too :) He was so teenie tiny and made the cutest monkey noises

 After school, we went to Grandma's house to open some more 

Birthday presents...

He was Ecstatic!!  I don't know if you can tell??

 Then we hopped in the car, ran and got pizza,

and headed to the skate park to meet up with some friends

 it had been raining all day... but that didn't stop these Die Hards

 These kiddos pulled some amazing and breathtaking

stunts and tricks!!

I kept thinking... tonight is not such a great night to go to the E.R.

but we had a lot of fun, with no injuries!!

 Even Mom's, my Bestie, tried some stunts!!! ;)

You go girl!!!

 Most of my pictures ended up like this... Blurry...

Faster than lightning I tell ya!!

 Here he is...

Birthday Boy!!!

Happy as a Lark

 Die Hards!!!

Winter won't stop them from playing outside

 Dare Devil Brady...

we couldn't believe the things he was pulling off on his 

Bad Big Wheel

 We ended the night with Jr. Jazz practice...

we shared doughnuts with the team...

and went home to some Birthday Pie and a slice of Birthday Cake

Make a Wish Monkey Boy :)

Kelson... I love you so much...

you are my Monkey Boy

you bring me great joy and tons of giggles

(and make me want to pull all my hair out at times)

Thank you for being my middle son...

Love you to the Moon and Back

Happy Birthday!!!

Do the Turkey Trot

Gearing up for the Annual Utah Human Race

Early Thanksgiving morning

1,500 people, or more, join together for the The Human Race

This year they raised over $100,000 for the Utah Food Bank

Here is our team of 12 getting ready to head to the beginning line

and we're off!!

This was my two youngest bird's first time doing a 5K marathon!!

They were soooooo excited!!!

and had so much fun!!

We almost weren't able to do it, without this woman (below)

and her awesome Daughter Cheese!!!

Thank you so much again!!!

Striking a pose in mid step... 

You are Awesome Mother T.

Proud of my little birdies!!

My oldest had done this last year, and wanted to again, 

but was invited for some "Manly Men Time" playing Football

He had a blast!!

Now it's time to Gobble til we Wobble!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Coach treated the whole team to Slurpees after practice one night!

you should have seen the chaos!!!

I think we scared a couple customers right out the door!

not to mention the sugar rush.... oie!

 3 Cheers for Coach!!!

Our last game was on the Coach's very Birthday!!

Of course we had to end with a big bang!!

They all poured their water jugs and slammed his face in a cream pie!!

Happy Birthday Coach!!
