snowing

It was one of those mornings when I really didnt want to get out of bed. I opened my eyes and looked out the window. It was white everywhere. I woke the kids to see the snow. Of course, their firsts words were "is it a snow day"? "Is it a two hour delay"? No, it was neither of those. They then began disussing their after school plans. I dont think they will have much to play in but it is beautiful seeing everything white especially the trees. I am enjoying watching the flurries come down. According to the farmers Alamanac, it is supposed to be a long white winter. I think they said this last year, too. We didnt get enough snow for the kids to wear their snow clothes but one day. I dont like shoveling or driving in the snow but I would love to have a good snowfall for the kids to play in. The neighbors have a big hill in their backyard. It is perfect for sledding. Even the parents join in, I feel it the next day but it is a good time. When my dad comes back we usually get a good snowfall. He is coming for Christmas, we may get a white one. Yea! The snow season in PA is usually in February/March. I guess it is time to go sit by the fireplace, read a book and enjoy my tea.

Go Jazz!!

On Sunday, Duane bought tickets to the Jazz vs 76's game tonight. The kids had not been to a real NBA game yet. Well..... Taylor did go when she was a baby but does not remember it. We were really excited to go watch the game. There is something about being in the arena and watching the game live. I need to back up and share some of Taylor's questions before the game. She probably wont like that I am typing this for others to read but it was kind of funny. She had several questions about the game. She asked where they play and if it is indoors? She asked what kind of shoes they wear? She asked how long the game is? It's not like we dont watch it on TV all the time! I think she may need more time out of the gym. :-) During the the game Cameron had to explain the difference between offense and defense to Taylor. She kept cheering but when she was, what she was saying made her seem like she was for the 76's. Cam got her straighten out pretty quickly. She made us have some good laughs at the game. Here is a picture before the game. Here is a shot during the game! Yea Jazz!
YEA! Jazz won! It didnt look like they were going to there for a while. They came through for us. People sitting around us knew we were Jazz fan's but didnt mind. They asked us few questions like where was Okur, if we knew anyone from the Jazz team, how did we become Jazz fans. The sad part was the fans booed Kyle Korver. It wasnt like he left the team, he was traded. We thought that was kind of strange. Felt kind of bad for him. Duane said they should have been cheering for him, he didnt make any shots.


This is the kids reaction post game and asked if they had fun! Yes, we would all love to go to another Jazz game. I guess we will have to wait till next year.
