Family Filled Weekend!

Last weekend I got to spend time with my family. My mom and my two brothers came into town Thursday afternoon. So Brandy, Dave and I met them at Sammy's for dinner.



Then on Saturday afternoon I went to Salt Lake to just sit around and talk with my mom and grandparents. My mom took me to the distribution center. I had never been there so it was fun! I got I cool picture of the new Presidence.


After we went to the distribution center it was off to the park. My Uncle Mike got married about two months ago or something haha, but they got married in Hawaii so they didn't have a reception or anything. So my uncle and his new wife Roxanne wanted to bring their two families together to meet so they had a afternoon party planned in the park.



It was a fun weekend with my family, but my family is not the only family I got to spend alittle time with. After I went to my Uncles park party, I met Dave and we went to the park were his family was having a fun evening BBQ. Daves parents were in town so the whole family got together and I got to meet all of them. It was a way fun evening with food, softball, and playground slides haha! Then on Sunday we went to Dave's sisters house and had dinner. It was his neice's birthday so we had presents and cake. They were all really great! Dave's family is similar to mine haha because there are alot of them and they are loud and like to have alot of fun. So it was really great.
So yea like I said it was a really fun family filled weekend and I loved every minute of it!

Congratulations Caleb and Becca!

My cousin Caleb and my friend Becca got engaged yesterday. Since they don't have a blog I will tell you guys alittle about their relationship. Caleb got back from his mission the first week in January. I was trying to think of cute, fun, nice girls I know to hook him up with. Most of you that read my blog know that I could not just hook Caleb up with anyone, because we are very close and it had to be someone I loved and approved of! So I was going through all the girls I knew and then I thought of the perfect one! Becca and I met working a Zion Ponderosa together. We were the best of friends at the Ponderosa I know she would be perfect. Mostly I just wanted Caleb to go on a date I had no idea hooking him up on a date with my friend Becca would lead to this haha! So when I hooked them up on a date I was still in Califonia so I gave them my Jazz tickets. They had been talking on the phone a few days before they first went out and they were both really nervous and excited to go on a date. It was pretty fun to hear both sides when they first started dating and I was very excited because they both really liked eachother so I know I had made a match. They have now been dating about 4 months and they know that they are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together haha (I am such a sap)!

So yesterday I had the privalidge of helping Caleb with the Proposal. Dave and I went to Thanksgiving point about 15 minutes before Caleb and Becca would arrive. Earlier that day Caleb, Aunt Pam, and I spent the morning preparing. Caleb typed up some entrys from from his journal of dates they had and thinks they have done. Me and Aunt Pam made them cute haha. So we planned where we would put them and everything. So then Dave and I set them in all the spots in the Gardens at Thanksgiving point. The last stop There was a rose sticking out of the ground The ring was on the rose. There was also one last journal entry with that days date on it. It was blank so they could write in together what had happened that day. We were hiding up on the top of the waterfall getting it all on tape.

I couldn't be happier for them! I love them both and I am excited that Becca is going to be in the Fam! Haha it takes a strong women to deal with all of our crazy family, she is just crazy enough to fit in perfectly! So cangrats guys love ya both!!!


Here are some pictures of me and Dave yesterday at Thanksgiving Point.

The kids garden had a cool garden maze that we went in haha so here are some pictures of us lost in the maze!

After the fun afternoon at thanksgiving point we went to Aaron and Rachels and had some intense wii playing! We love the Wii!

Happy Mothers Day in Orderville!

Last Friday me and Aaron went to the Jazz game at 7pm.
After the game we went and picked up Rachel and started
out trip to Orderville. We arrived in my good old home town
at 3am. We all stayed at the motel where I got to sleep in the
falling to love room with Becca haha it was precious! haha


Saturday morning we woke up and lounged around
for a while. Then I went to noahs T-ball game.
It was so cute! Noah just thinks the dirtier his
pants are the better he is.



Saturday afternoon we were all just sitting around talking
so we decided why not sit and talk in the car on the way
down to get the best snowcones in the whole wide world!!!
So Rachel Brandy and I dropped Caleb and Becca off in Zion
to hike while we went and got snow cones! They were just
as good as I always remembered! They were so worth the
drive! I got wedding cake flavor with creme and it was amazing!!!


We got back from getting our snowcones and just hung
out in the nice weather of Southern Utah. We had a BBQ
with everyone. It was a very fun relaxing day!



Sunday morning we had a mothers day breakfast and
had fun watching old home videos that were made with
the family. Then it was back to Nothern Utah.

I just wanted to Thank You Mom for being so wonderful!
Your the Best Mom Ever!!! And thanks for letting all of us
come visit last weekend! I love you!








Utah Jazz 2007-2008


Well this season came to an end of Friday night when we lost game 6 to the Lakers by 3 points. It was a rough game to watch. The Utah Jazz had a great season. The team was amaizing this year and I don't think that will change any time soon. The Utah Jazz finished the season with 54 wins 28 losses, and having the best record at home in the whole NBA with 37 wins and only 4 losses. We went into playoffs in 4th. We met the Houston Rockets in the first round and beat them in 6 games. We advanced to the second round to play the L.A. Lakers. It was a exciting series the Jazz lost the first 2 games in L.A. then came back to Utah and won 2 games here at home, so the series was tied 2-2 then we went back to L.A. and lost again in L.A. Then back to Utah were we down most of the game but game back in the end to bring the game within 3 points but we lost when the team missed 2 three point shots at the end to tie up the game. We lost by three which means the end of the road for us this season. I still love my Jazz though! I know one of these years we will get a Championship. We have a really young team with alot of talent, so watch out for the Utah Jazz in the upcoming years because there is going to be a winning team ready to bring Utah their first NBA Championship ever!!!

2008 NBA Playoffs

Well everyone the Playoffs are finally here! Everyone Excited? Well if not you should be things are pretty intense this year! This is the best time of the year even better then Christmas! For those of you who don't know the Jazz finished 4th in the western conference with a 54-28 record. The Jazz had the best record at home in the NBA with 34 wins 24 losses. I believe that Utah has a very good chance of getting their first Title this year, and I am not the only one. According to John Hollinger of ESPN the Jazz have very good odds of winning. Here is what he has to say about it.

2. Why are the Playoff Odds so high on Utah?
There's a tendency to overreact to What Just Happened, so Utah's stinker against San Antonio on Wednesday night probably increased everyone's doubts about this team.
Nonetheless, the Power Rankings have Utah as the league's second-best team, and the Playoff Odds give them the best chance of winning the West at 31.0 perecnt.
The Jazz played extremely well down the stretch. Even with the meltdown in San Antonio included, over the last quarter of the season the Jazz had an offensive efficiency rating of 116.0 -- that dwarfs the Suns' league-leading mark of 111.2. To put that into context, if they had done it for a full season, the Jazz would have been by far the best offensive team of all time.
Utah went 37-12 after Jan. 1, and the number of blowout wins over quality teams is staggering. The Jazz beat the Celtics by 18 in Boston -- the Celtics' worst loss of the season anywhere. The Jazz beat New Orleans by 28, and then again by 22 -- two of the Hornets' three worst defeats of the year. They beat San Antonio by 26 and the Lakers by 24 -- for each, their worst loss of the season. They beat Phoenix by 22 and beat Denver by 27 ... twice.
Overall, Utah won an astounding 18 games by more than 20 points. In contrast, the Jazz didn't lose a single game by more than 20 points all season ... until Wednesday night in San Antonio. And given their questionable motivation in that game and Deron Williams' trouble with a bruised buttock, it's hard for me to hold that against them much when we have 81 games of evidence that they're the best pick in a compacted Western pack.

So go Jazz! Happy and Merry Playoffs everyone! And see you in Round 2!
