Weekend in SLC!!

We went to a Jazz game last weekend and had a great time. It was my first Jazz game ever and of course Brit's too. Now we're not huge Jazz fans, we kinda follow them and root for them, but we really went up to see LeBron James play (and my little bro at half time of course)! How can you miss a chance to see him play. He is amazing! So this post may be a little offensive to most Die Hard Jazz fans cause there aren't many Jazz pictures and a lot of LeBron pictures. Justin had the camera out almost the whole game trying to get the perfect picture. Much to his disappointment he missed the chalk throw and a few huge dunks, but we got a few good ones. It is hard to get good pictures when the little kid in front of you stands up every 2 seconds and yells at the ref and when your in the nose bleed section:) I was pretty proud of our little camera considering the distance.






We were so worried about Briton making it through the whole game, but he did awesome. He was so worn out by the time the game started that he zonked right out onto my belly. It makes a great pillow I guess! He slept from right after tip off til right before half time. He enjoyed half time with us and then headed to where Grandma and Grandpa and JD were for the rest of the game. And he sat on their laps the whole time. (What I wouldn't give for a sacrament meeting like that. He doesn't make it 10 minutes without running the isles.) JD received an award at half time and that was the main reason for our trip up. He was chosen as a top 10 finalist in the state for the State Heisman Award. So we were glad we could make it up and see him at half time!

After the game my parents took Briton back to Richfield and Justin and I stayed at the Peery Hotel just down the street. It is such a cool hotel and it's way old. The rooms were so cute and the soaps and lotions were Coconut lime from Bath and Body! That might not be a big deal to some people, but I'm used to the nasty stuff from like Days Inn or none at all:) The service was amazing there and I would definitely stay there again! We had a great night just hanging out the 2 of us.

The next day we made the long trek home in the snow! It was the worst ever. We were in it from SLC to Richfield, Richfield to Cedar, and then after a quick stop at Justin's parents we were in it again til we got home. After Cedar was the best weather though, thank goodness, we needed a break! On our way over Cove Fort we hit a bad spot and were spinning and sliding out of control barely missing 5 or 6 poles on the side of the road. I was just bracing for a role over, but Justin handled it perfectly and we just ended up on the side of the road white knuckled and miraculously heading in the right direction. It was the scariest thing ever! We were so glad when we finally got home and hopped out of the car to warm(er) weather.
We forgot his blanket he has to have when he sleeps and so my mom made him this one that is the same material. She's making one for Hadley right now and this is just some left over scraps, but he loves it!
