In the re-building phase... again..

I went to the Jazz Game with my mom one night while the guys were both out of town working. I didn't know it then, but it was Jerry's last game.

When you sit so close to the bench and watch the dynamics, it becomes obvious that certain players are calling all the shots.

You wonder what this deep discussion was about. For all we know he was saying.. "where should I trade to?"

You jump for that rebound Jefferson. I think you need a few more guys crowding you?!

I am so upset about all the turn-over in the Utah Jazz. We will never be the same without our fearless leader and coach. Who will yell at the refs for us? And then we loose our superstar. Even is he was stubborn- he had some serious game. In my mind, ticket values are plummeting. We find ourselves with young, new players. Once again... in the rebuilding phase. Ahh.. my loyalty is being tested. May the wins start piling up!

Discovery Fair

I don't remember 100's day being a big deal when I was in school. But it's big now! We count the days, and celebrate with quite the party when we hit 100 days of school. This year, our school did a discovery fair. For the older grades, this meant science and history fair projects. The younger kids displayed their 100's day projects. I was so amazed with the creativity. Parent's put a lot of work into these cool projects. This is my most favorite project, and my most favorite kindergartner (my neighbor):

The best part of her project- she framed it cute so that she could display her butterflies in her room after the fair. If you have kids- start collecting 100 of something so you're prepared for 100's day!

Valentines!

We had a wonderful Valentines Day. Rick bought me beautiful flowers, and he got a nice bouquet of "man balloons" (black and white zebra stripe, red and black polka dot balloons- no pink!) delivered to his work. We had a scrumptious, over-priced, fine dining experience at Sundance with our good pals the Thomas's. We all ordered the lamb, which turned out pretty good. My least favorite- oysters. Rick's least favorite- scallops. If you go- eat plenty of the "sundance rolls"- a multi-grain warm roll with a white grape baked in the middle. A new found favorite. Hope your V-Day was extra special!

My Encounter

We went to the Jazz Game Monday night, and sitting right in front of us was Jimmer Fredette! Rick was smart enough to run up to the Fanz store, buy an Official NBA ball and a sharpie, and Jimmer signed right across the front of our ball. He was very nice to all the fans around him, took tons of pictures, signed dollar bills, and didn't turn anyone away. We were the only ones that got a basketball though! Rick wants to sell it. I want to keep it. Bridger keeps offering to buy it. What to do...
