We like the Jazz, unless the Suns are in town!!!

Mason in his Suns gear

So, Dan went to his first NBA game on Monday and I think he liked it a little. We had such a fun night. We have been wanting to go to a Jazz game since we live 10 minutes away and we are okay with cheering for the Jazz....unless Steve Nash and Shaq are in town, then we hate the Jazz and boo them really loudly. Growing up in Alaska made it very difficult for Dan to go to an NBA game, so we are going to really try hard to get to them regularly and take advantage of how close we are. There is so much to do in SLC that we are really trying to enjoy it. This weekend is zoo day if the weather permits. Anyway, so, before the game started we went down really close and waited for the players to come out. It was so fun to see the guys we love so close up. Our camera has not arrived, so we borrowed one :( (I want my new camera). thanks Erika. Then we walked clear up to the tippy top of the Arena and watched from our real seats. Mason was perfect and we just had a great night. The Suns were up at the half, but couldn't pull out a win with those crazy Utah fans. Anyway, sad the Suns lost, but so fun to go to the game with my boys.

Wow- Dana your son is as beautiful as you are! These pics are so cute. And I feel the same about the Dodgers and Giants. I like the Dodgers unless they play the Giants and then the Dodgers stink. No one else understands this because they are rivals, but it makes sense to me. So I love your sling for Mason. Remind me where you got it? I seem to remember a friend of yours makes them? Glad you guys are having so much fun in SLC!! My sister is getting married in Jan there. . .maybe I can see you???

I remember watching Steve Nash on tv with Bubba a couple times. I bet that was exciting for him. Looks like you guys had a blast. I have yet to go to a NBA game too. That's part of living in Alaska I guess, no Professional teams.

Mason is soo cute! Talked with G&G Gillman yesterday (okay everyday) and they miss him already. Looking forward to next week! I would love to see him and Brin play together. Good going on taking the little guy to a game!!!

I love it when parents aren't afraid to take their children places. We have been taking the kids to all sorts of sporting events since they were 8 weeks old. They grow to love sports and learn how to behave at the games(in public)...unless you are with mom and then you grow up thinking you to be very loud and sometimes yell at the refs...I am blaming that on the reason I almost got thrown out of one of Stan's church ball games (it was actually me and the Bishop that were sitting together and we both got a very stern warning - they stopped the game. I have since calmed myself down! -Honestly though - if you can't really play the game then please don't ref!)
Love and miss you guys! Give the 2 boys a squeeze from us.

It's true...Mason is a beautiful little guy. Is it okay if I say that I see a little bit of Walker in him?! He is getting so big and seems so happy.

I talked with Grandma and Grandpa on Monday and they said that Mason didn't want to leave. Grandpa said that he was giving them all kinds of lovin'!!!

Continue to have fun and of course take more pictures! Give the little man a love from us.

Baby time!

By -
So, I had my first appointment today to confirm that baby #2 is on its way. Sure enough, a quick little heartbeat was going strong. We can't wait, well, actually, I think we can. It will be much easier to wait for this one seeing that we have an 18 month old that keeps us very busy, but we are really excited for it to come around December 2nd ish. We are really excited for Mason to be a big brother because he is so sweet with babies these days and seems to actually enjoy them. I am 12 weeks and feeling pretty rotten. I guess that just helps me know that things are going okay with baby. Poor Mason has been watching alot of TV in the mornings and has not had as much play time with mom. It makes me sad, but you do what you gotta do to get by. Deep down i kind of want another boy, so I am pretty confident that it is a girl. Dan doesn't care at all, and I really don't either, but for some reason girls scare me. We are excited to see what we are going to get this time ...

Only Blue for us!

Yes, it's true, we are having another boy. I always imagined having two little boys running around and we are so excited for Mason to have a little bro. There are so many fun things to look forward to with having little boys so close. Can't wait for all of the baseball games, basketball games, guitar and drum lessons.....or ballet lessons if they so choose. Whatever the case, we can't wait to have two little boys.

Presents for Mason

By -
I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for best gifts for a 2 year old boy. We don't buy toys very often so I always want them to be really good. What are the best toys out there. I am thinking a play kitchen? Play food? I just want to know if there is anything that Mason should not be going without. K- please help.
