sledding hill

When we got snow at the beginning of the month, the snow blanketed our fabulous sledding hill in our neighborhood park. I took the kids there and they had a blast.
Jersey saw some boys from school there. She was waving and saying high to them. One boy, striker, kept watching her. She watched as all the boys went down the hill and jump some jump at the bottom that they had built. The first time she went she got some mad air. I heard the boys say that didn't count because her mom pushed her. The second time she went she got even more air and that was without my help. I could tell the boys were impressed.
The little boy Striker was asking Jers if she would like to ride down on his sled with him. Oh, she got the giggles and thought that was so fun.
I can't leave Phe out but I was impressed that he was going down the hill too, by himself. He usually whines about how he can't but he was trying to be just like his sister. Hilarious.

Home Opener

Last night was Real Salt Lake's home opener in their new stadium. Mike won tickets from Snowbird. They had a drawing, both he and his friend Chad put their names in the drawing and said who ever won, they would take the other. I was a little bummed but it was good for Mike to get out and watch something that he loves, SOCCER! His tickets were midfield, tenth row. Amazing. The game ended in a draw but Mike had fun all the same.

March Madness

I'm not a big fan of any sport really unless it means I'm playing in it or I will gain something for watching it. At Mike's work they put $10 into a pot and bet on the brackets of March Madness. Mike being the unlucky man that he is tends to lose within the first brackets. So I tried my hand at this March Madness things. Mike didn't help me at all in placing my brackets. So after yesterdays basketball games I had only lost three games. It is truely madness now. I am so into it. I watched basketball all day. I couldn't help it I wanted to see who would win. I was a little diappointed in BYU and AZ for not doing better. Oh well. I am ready to watch some more basketball today.
After watching one of my teams lose I was pretty much a grump the whole rest of the day. Mike was questioning why I was so grumpy. I told him it was March Madness. So I will be grumpy until the end now, because I don't like to lose.
Maybe my grumpiness was due in part that I have had a cold for the last few days. I hate being sick. Moms can't get sick. I thought it was funny because Mike called out sick yesterday too so that he could watch basketball. He told everyone it was because his family was sick. AHH!
So who is your pick for the final four?
