Jazz & Mothers Day

Top Row L to R: Aydian and Madison

Middle row: Ryley holding Irelynn, Alexis, Corwynn holding Brayton and Drew

Saturday morning we did breakfast with Grandpa Rod and cousins. John enjoyed beating Grandpa and Brixton at ping pong, and Drew and Madison enjoyed picking up the ping pong balls and putting them back into the holders. The picture isn't anything to write home about, trying to get eight small kids to pose when they didn't want to sit was too much work.

(We took this picture from our seat, yes it was that high, we were nearly eye level with the MVP jerseys and such!)

John and I were able to go to the Jazz game on Saturday night. Our excuse for being able to splurge was that it was a Mothers Day/birthday gift. I had never been to a play-off game and it was a lot of fun, this particular game was much louder and faster paced than a normal game. We had seats one row from the top! We really enjoyed them though, John was able to stand whenever he wanted and we could see everything clearly. One down side - I'm getting fatter and I had to trek up and down each time I wanted to use the bathroom. (I would still sit there again.) John spilled the girl's drink everywhere when he was trying to cross in front of her.  It went everywhere!  They were Lakers fans so they just used the free Jazz t-shirt they got at the door to mop it up. John went and bought them a new drink to replace the one he demolished.  What a nice boy. We loved the second half of the game because the score kept going back and forth and the crowd was really getting into it. We ended up losing by one point.

For Mothers Day we went to Salem Pond for a picnic and to chat with Max when he made his Mothers Day call. A nice guy who was fishing let Drew reel in the fish he caught. Drew was so excited to be able to catch a fish, he's never been able to get one to bite!

Alexis thought it was great fun to go wading in the Pond. She would pull her dress up and get as deep as possible without getting any clothing wet.

Madison liked playing in the sand, not so much in the water.

Drew decided to just go wading.

This is one of the only pictures that we have of Mothers Day dinner with the Wadley side. We had a nice dinner at Angie's house and the kids loved playing outside with their cousins.
