Jazz vs Mavs

We went to the Jazz game last night for their game against the Dallas Mavericks.  We had a great time!  We don't have any pictures of us because Brett was very occupied in taking pictures of the players.  Here's Kyle Korver still in the air after a warm-up shot.  Perfect follow through.
And here's Mehmet Okur going up for an easy lay up.  Especially for him, he's too tall for his own good.
We had so much fun watching the game.  We got churros, which is tradition for us.  We also finally got to try Red Mango which I was so excited about!  It was delicious.  I was a little bit bummed because they ran out of mangoes before we got there (I didn't think mangoes were that popular), but I got raspberries and blackberries on mine instead.  It was delicious nonetheless, but I'll have to got to the one in Orem to get some mangoes next time.

The game was awesome.  There were two flagrant fouls (on the Mavs side) and two technicals (one on each side).  It seems like that happens every time these teams get together.  The Jazz pulled it out though and the final score was 115-87.  During the last two minutes of the game a ton of people left since it wasn't a close game, so we went down towards the court to where the players go back into the locker room.  It was so fun to see all of the players so close.
Here's Deron Williams going back after being interviewed.  Brett's triumph of the night was that he got to touch Deron's hand as he passed by.  He was so excited.  I don't think we'll be hearing the story about how we saw Dwayne Wade anytime soon, it will all be Deron Williams from here on out.

Jazz Opener

It's basketball season again, and around our house that means an extra happy Brett.  Last night the Jazz had their home opener against the Nuggets.  We invited the Bytheways over for the game and some Papa Murphy's pizza.  You will be happy (or maybe not) to hear that even without Deron Williams the Jazz won.  Granted, the Nuggets didn't have a couple of their starters, but hey, every win counts.  It got close towards the end, but they pulled it off.  Per daddy's request Kennedy was sporting the Jazz t-shirt that I put in his stocking last year, complete with drool stains.
None of the pictures of me and Kennedy were good because one of us was making a goofy face in all of them.  I figure that she'll forgive me if I put up the one that makes me look better than her.  She's cuter than me anyway.  We're in our Jazz outfits.  The last time I wore this jersey I was at a Jazz game, 8 months pregnant, and had that little pink shirt on my belly.  For a picture, check out Kaisa's blog post.
We had a great time during the party and have way too much leftover food.  Pizza, cookies, Halloween candy, layer dip.  Please come eat some.  Otherwise I will eat it all and will never lose this baby weight.  Brett wanted to make sure that I got a picture of Kennedy's plumber crack as well.  Enjoy.
