Basketball Champs!

This weekend, Taylor had a border league basketball tournament in Richfield. (Greg helps coach, in case you didn't know). We played Friday night against Bryce Valley and squeaked a win by. Saturday at noon, we played Delta and lost by 6 or 7 points. We were pretty discouraged, but thought maybe they could come back from the losers bracket and make it to the championship. In order to win, they would have to beat the final team twice due to the double elimination. We were very impressed by how good the teams at this tournament were. They were tough! Anyway, we played Emery and beat them in a very close game, then Beaver by 10 or so points. We then had to play Delta again and beat them by about 3 points. That meant we were going to the championship game to play Richfield (undefeated in the tournament). We played them at 8 p.m. and beat them in the first game by 2 or 3 points and then would have to beat them again in order to win the championship. Well, guess what? We did it! It came down to a tie with less than a minute to go, we stole the ball and made a layup to win the game! It was soooo exciting. We were screaming and crying with joy! It was made sweeter by the fact that the officials were from Richfield and we were playing Richfield, in Richfield. We overcame the odds and conquered! We were so proud of all the girls. Everyone on the team contributed! Taylor played awesome and made all her foul shots and made some other great shots. Her defensive play was amazing as well.

Wonderfully WICKED!!!!!

I had the opportunity this past weekend to go to the Broadway play of "Wicked" at the Capital Theatre in SLC! It was sooooo wonderful! I have been listening to the soundtrack ever since. The music was incredible and the story was just as great! I would go to it again tomorrow, if I had the chance. It was fun to go with my sisters, mom, brother and brother-in-law. (Thanks Mandy for getting us the tickets at such an awesome price :))

WOW! Easter.... already?!?!

I can't believe Easter has come and gone! Where has the time gone?!? We went to Flowell for Easter weekend. I was off work Thursday and Friday, so we made the most of it. The kids colored eggs at my mom's house with all the cousins. We were supposed to go to the sand dunes, but we decided not to go due to the wind and light rain.

We went to the hot pots later that evening. The wind actually stopped! It was really cool to swim in the WARM water! The kids were thrilled! That was my first time getting into the water--even though I have been there a couple of times over the years. I was always too scared before. (Lots of ledges down deep).

Cortney's family and Mandy went with us. Cortney and Mandy were the only ones that didn't get in all the way. It was a lot of fun... we wish we could have stayed longer, but it got too dark. That will definately be something we do again. :) (FYI... they are located between Meadow and Kanosh).
