March Madness

March madness came and went, but it sure was fun. It was a nice distraction to have the BYU basketball team come into town and play at the Pepsi Center in the NCAA tournament. BYU mania took over! Lamont and I were lucky enough to attend both games. On Wednesday night the Cougars had an open practice at the Pepsi center which we took the boys to. It was fun to see the team up close and we even got to meet Coach Dave Rose. We were hoping some of the players would walk our way, but no such luck.

On Thursday we took Carter to the game and cheered on the Cougars as they beat Wofford. On Saturday we had a great time as my sister, Melanie, and Lamont's brother, Chase drove from Utah to cheer the Cougars on with us. We screamed loudly as the Cougars were able to demolish Gonzaga. Their team definitely got Jimmered! This sent the Cougars to the sweet sixteen. It was such a great victory and the best college basketball game that I have ever been to, and we even got to watch it from the 18th row! Wow! That's all I have to say.

Happy 2nd Birthday Tanner!

It was a Cars birthday for Tanner last Monday, Feb. 28. Everything was about Disney's Cars: Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater... With every present he opened he would say "Cars, brrrum brrrum". He loved opening his presents and having his very own special day. He even got to pick his dinner consisting of macaroni and cheese and blue jello.

Among the many Cars toys he was excited to get his own wagon and popcorn popper. Yes, he is in his "Cars jammies".

In the morning he had a Cars birthday party with his little friends at Chick-Fil-A. The kids played on the toys for a while and then it was time for presents, lunch, and cupcakes. Tanner kept telling me, "friends, wahoo." It was such a fun and cute group of kids.

Tanner is such a sweet and funny little boy. He is growing up so quickly. He is talking all the time and will tell you exactly what he needs. He is learning to use the potty, loves reading stories, being around his brothers, and as stated above is obessed with anything Cars. We are so blessed to have him in our family.
