I have been feeling really sad this week since I heard of the passing of Larry H. Miller.  I just wanted to express my gratitude for him and what he did for the residents of Utah.  I keep thinking how my life would have been changed if he hadn't taken the risk he did.  My youth would have been totally different.  I would babysit, mow lawns and clean houses all summer long so I could save enough money to buy my Jazz tickets.  My parents would always buy one ticket and I would have to earn the other ticket.  Some of the best times of my youth were going to Jazz games, welcoming the Jazz home at the airport or watching them on TV.  He bought KJZZ so he could televise as many games as he could for the fans.  I put all of my energy into the Jazz and I lived and died with them every year (Darn you Mr. Jordan).  I can't imagine what life would have been like without Stockton to Malone.  In some small way I think it helped me stay a pretty good kid because I wanted so badly to go to the games at the Delta Center (Sorry I am still not used to the ESA a.k.a The Dump).  I still follow the Jazz very closely and get to go to a few games a year.  I have enjoyed lots of fun concerts, Disney on Ice, the circus, and the playoffs.  I am so grateful for Larry H. Miller for building that awesome building.  Even when you are on the last row of the Delta center it's still a great place to watch a game.  I also love Larry's work ethic, loyalty, honesty, and devotion to his community.  I love how he always stood up for what he believed in, right or wrong.  He lived a very public life.  All of his mistakes were broadcast for everyone to see.  I respect him for always making his wrongs, right.  He didn't have to do what he did, but I am so glad that he was able to keep the Jazz in Utah and for all of the many other wonderful things he has done.  His memory will live on strong in my heart.  I know his family will keep his legacy alive and we will be able to enjoy many things because of this man.  GO JAZZ!!  Win it all for Larry!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY!

*****WARNING SOME LANGUAGE MAY BE OFFENSIVE IF YOU ARE A PRUDE*******

I was going to tuck Boston into bed last night and this was our exchange:

Boston: "Mom, what are those two circles on you chest?"

Me: "Well buddy, they are called boobs".

Boston: "I don't have boobs.  I have nickels".  

Me: "You do?"

Boston: "Yeah, I would rather have nickels than boobs like you".

Me: "I am glad you have nickels too".

I can't imagine what these 5 month pregnant circle things must look like to a 3 year old.  But for now I am glad that he is happy with his Nickels!!!

VARITEK

In my next life I am going to take life a little more serious between the ages of 14-21. I am going to go to finish school (I might still do that in this life time, don't hold your breath) and become a sports reporter. I for some crazy reason am obsessed with sports. I was telling my husband that it would be really great if I could put as much passion and enthusiasm into the scriptures as I do sports. We all have trials right? Anywhoo, I just needed somewhere to vent about my beloved Jason Varitek. I am so bugged by the Red Sox for not resigning him that it gives me serious anxiety. I have been reading all the reports on what the hold up is and I can't say that I blame the Red Sox for not giving a 36 year old guy (soon to be 37 in April) a 4 year deal. But good criminey who else is out there? AT the least, THE VERY LEAST he could help mold an up coming prospect in a couple of years. He has caught 4 no hitters in his career. His offensive numbers were down this year, but what he brings to the pitching staff makes up for his sluggish offense. His agent Scott Boras is a tool and I don't think he does much good for the game of baseball. I could go on all night. The good news is that there is less than a month left in the lame football season. My favorite day of the year is the day after the superbowl. This season was especially lame because my man Tom Brady was injured for the season. Let's be honest here, if I am going to watch football I better have something good to look at. That is why Tom is my man!! Good news though, next month pitchers and catcher report. The Austrailian open (tennis) is right around the corner. The Jazz are looking better everyday. Baseball season officially begins April 5th and then my beloved Red Sox can show the money hungry Teixeira why he made a bad choice. In other news, my kids are growing like weeds, so am I, the hunkalicious husband is amazing (that's what I tell him so he will do housework), and we are very blessed. I am so grateful for all of my sweet family and friends. What would be the point of a blog if it weren't for you?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!!!

Today is my sweet and handsome husband's birthday!! We are so very lucky to have him and are so grateful that he is our dad and husband. He is always so giving of his time. He is always willing to help when there is work to be done. I am so grateful for his patience, love, honesty, and friendship. I am so grateful for his personality. I know there isn't anyone else that could put up with my hormones like he does. I am so grateful for all he does. He has always provided for our family without any complaints. He is really fun to be around and despite his shy front, he is really funny and is a big tease. He is a great example to our children. I am so grateful that I have never had to ask him to keep a job, go to school, take care of the kids, provide for our family, or to help those in need. He always seems to do the right thing. He is a genuinely good person and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. He just seems to keep getting better with age. At this point, he is just about perfect;). We love you!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

The good thing about holidays is that they guilt you into updating your blog. Halloween was great this year. We had an amazing party with all of our cousins. The kids got to have donut eating contests, bobbing for apples, a spook alley, and potato sack race. Just to name a few. Aunt Michelle and Uncle Raymond have the best Halloween parties ever!!

We were lucky enough to have Spiderman there to PROTECT us throughout the night and we had the most BEAUTIFUL Tinkerbell ever!! As much as I begged we just had to be spiderman this year. It turned out to be pretty fun. I am so thankful to be able to spend time with my family and to watch my children grow and learn. Happy Halloween. Bring on Thanksgiving!!

GO SOX!!

It's that time of year again when the air crispens, the leaves change, and the MLB playoffs begin. I live for the playoffs. I am quite excited the Red Sox are in for another chance to make a good run into the post season. I just wanted show my love for the Sox and profess my love for my newest love, Jacoby Ellsbury. I have made it perfectly clear if anything happens to my sweet hubby I am off to find Jacoby. Rumor is he is even LDS. (famousmormons.net). Just google him. He is such a stud on the field, but what makes it even better is he is just georgous. John Stockton, Steve Young, Jason Varitek, Fred Couples, Tom Brady, Roger Federer, and now Jacoby. These are the reasons sports are so fun to watch :). GO SOX!!
