State Tourney... CHAMPIONS!!!

State this year was awesome! Helping coach Richfield was such a neat experience and i'm thankful that i got the opportunity to! State was in Cedar City, and we went down knowing that it was going to be a tough week. The girls really had to show up to play. I went down Thurday

and then Tyler came down Friday.

They won their first two game, and we are 23-0 for the season. They hadn't lost a single game, and now they were going into the championship game undefeated against their big time rivals... South Severe (The 2 years in a row reigning champs). It was going to be an intense game. The feeling that day was excitement, but everyone was too nervous to even talk about it.

THEY WON!!!! In double overtime. Richfield didn't have the lead until the first overtime. There were times in the game where i just sat and stared across at the cheerleaders because i couldn't watch. I wanted these girls to win so bad! It was the neatest feeling! I have never been a part of a truly successful basketball team, and even though i was on the other end of it, it was an awesome experience. It was also cool to be able to coach with my Father In Law Brett! It is very rare to be a part of a basketball team that has a perfect season! State Champs is what these girls deserved! My eyes kept filling with tears the whole time we were celebrating because i was so excited for Richfield!

We cut down the net and took pictures! Took turns holding the trophy, went to dinner at Sizzler in Cedar then headed straight back to Richfield where the fire truck was waiting! We hopped on the fire truck and rode around down doing cheers and yelling and screaming! If you looked behind the fire truck, you couldn't see the end of the cars that were following us! I couldn't believe how many people came out in the middle of the night to celebrate the victory with the team! The community was awesome! What a night!!! :)

Vegas Baby!

So i come home from work one day and Tyler tells me about this awesome plan to go to Vegas! Traysen Turner's parents have a time share down there and said we could stay there. After much planning we finally went and it was such a blast! We got there on Sunday night and went hot tubbing, and watched a movie in the condo. We made Bratwursts that night for dinner! They are like big sausage hot dog things, ha ha. We walked down the strip. On Monday we went to the M&M factory and went to the wall that has any color of M&M you could ever want. Tyler thought it was pretty cool and decided to get a bag of cool colored peanut M&M's. So he checks out while we are all looking around the store. Then he came up to me and said, "I dont think i would have gotten these if i would have known how much they would  be..." So i started guessing how much they were, 10 dollars, 20 dollars... They were 30 bucks! For a bad of M&Ms! Ha ha what a rip off! But live and learn. I guess we can say we have a bag of the coolest colored M&M's around! :) We also went on the New York New York rollercoaster which was a blast!   We all would have gone again if we didn't have to pay for it! :) We went to the arcade in Excalibur and won tickets and prizes. Tyler started playing this carnival game were you had to get the softball in the milk tin (which is pretty hard to do by the way) and he wouldn't stop until he won a big giant basketball. It was so funny! And he got it! We love our big ball~! Ha ha 

 

So the whole main reason we went to Vegas is because the boys wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings- a restaurant that Tyler loved on his mission! The closest one is in Vegas. So we definitely had to eat there! It was good! Best wings around! Over all our trip was awesome! We hope to do it again! Thanks to Traysen and his parents for letting us use their condo!

Our last basketball game!

Our last basketball game for the team i coach (C-team) was last night against South Seviere! Our girls played awesome! We couldn't have been any more proud. They beat them by almost 20. That made them #1 of the c-teams in our region. Region Champs! So we were excited to have a successful year with them and watch them grow as basketball players and people! I'll miss it! Thanks girls!

Molly!

Tyler's Grandma (Grandma Dee) had a crazy little chawawa dog named buddy. Buddy got really old and started biting her to the point where she got cellulitis in her finger!!! So they put him to sleep a couple weeks ago. While i was on the basketball trip Tyler's mom Donna got her a new puppy named Molly! She is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie), and i'm so in love! I want a dog just like her now! Tyler is probably sick of hearing about me talk about her so much! ha ha But i know secretly he wants her too! ha ha Love you Ty! Me and Chelsey are fighting over who gets her if Grandma Dee needs to give her away! Chelsey thinks she will get Molly- but Grandma Dee told me that because i'm in the family i have an advantage! ha ha The only problem is... i have always wanted to name one of my girls Molli (with an I) and she totally sniped that name! So one of 

kids might have the same name as their grandma's dog! LOL

 

Arches National Park

So i went on a basketball trip to Moab and while we were there we took a field trip to Arches. I hadn't ever been there before (just seen pictures), and it was a lot of fun! It made me realize how much we take advantage of the natural beauties on this earth. Now i want to go sight seeing everywhere! ha ha It was a lot of fun!

Fun with Chelsey!

A couple weeks ago, our good friend Chelsey Poulsen was abandoned by her family... j/k not really. But her family left town and she was all alone, so she came and stayed with us! It was such a blast! We played Mario Kart on the Wii in the mortuary almost all night long (and totally owned the boys at it too) :) Thanks for coming and staying with us Chels! We love you! Lets do it again soon!
