Annual Basketball Tournament

It's that time of year again. The good ol Utah Divison 1A Basketball Tournament. We got back from Richfield last Sunday and we had a blast. I look forward to this trip every year. Yes, it may be funny to you that we go to this, considering the team we root for didn't even make the tournament the last 2 years. But hey, it's tradition and I love any excuse to get together with family. And really, a weekend full of basketball games? Count me in! Last year Scotty couldn't get off work, so I was very happy that he could this year. Especially as the weekend went on, I was so grateful he was there. I couldn't have handled both kiddos on my own. Cammy's girlfriend Hadley drove down with us which was way fun as well. Jaxon loved her sitting next to him on the drive. The watched Glee and Jaxon loved all the songs!


Before the trip I was worried about how Jaxon would do. He went last year but he was just a few months old and took nice long naps then. But he did great. They both did. Chloe was a doll and totally happy the ENTIRE time. I don't think she made a peep during any game. My Dad and my Uncle kept commenting on what good kids we had. And we really do. Jaxon had a blast playing with his uncles and wore himself out. We even were able to get him down for a nap in the noisey stadium each day. Saturday night we all went swimming. It was Chloe's first time. We weren't prepared as we thought the hotel wouldn't have an indoor pool so we had to go searching for suits. And lets just say that the selection isn't very big in Richfield. But we made do. At first Chloe wasn't too sure about the pool, but after about 15 sec she got used to it and she was having a good time.

Sadly we didn't make any money on the games this year. Scotty, Hadley and I were the ONLY ones who didn't win at all. Lame. Next year the 3 of us are taking the pot EVERY game! Regardless we still had a wonderful time!
