NCAA Tournament

This year they are having the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games here in Salt Lake. I was debating whether or not to buy tickets to the games. I thought it would be fun to go. I was talking to a friend at work and he said we should go. Anyway an hour later he called and said he had 4 tickets to Thursday's games. So 3 of us from work went and Jake's cousin.

Both games were really good. We saw a #1 seed get upset which was fun. The second game between Xavier and Kansas State was awesome. I think I read there were 13 ties and 17 lead changes during the game. It was really intense and went into double overtime. It was a lot of fun. Wish the stadium would have been more crowded though. Large crowds at sporting events always make them more fun.
Jackie took our nephew Tyler on a date while I was at the games. They went to California Pizza Kitchen and saw Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief. They both had a lot of fun hanging out and Jackie now wants to read the book that the movie is based off of.

On the way to the game I hit 100,000 miles on my car. I thought as long as I have the camera, I might as well document this momentous occasion. I have had this car from the beginning and have had many fun trips in it. Anyways I thought it was cool when it was at 99,999.....

And then 100,000

Shelves

We have a small storage room in our house and have talked about adding shelves for the last ten months, but have just never got around to doing it. So everything was just stacked in there. We finally got around to it this weekend and it looks a lot better. Here is the before picture.
Terry was nice enough to come up and help us. I'm not the best at this kind of stuff, but it's great that he will take the time and help me with these kind of projects.

And here is the after picture. It actually didn't take that long to build. It gives us a lot more storage space.

After finishing the shelves we went to Camille's ballet recital. They performed Swan Lake and they did a really good job. It's always fun to watch the little kids dance that have no idea what's going on and they just twirl and run around. Camille did an awesome job, we are so proud of her.

Spring Has Sprung

C.J. and I were getting home from a walk tonight and C.J. said, " Honey, Look! Our tulips are blooming!" We have about 6 that we are able to see coming through our terrible dirt! We are both very excited that they have started blooming and it was of course a picture worthy moment for us as this is our first attempt at gardening. We, and when I say we I mean I, have been anxiously awaiting their arrival. All that hard work we did last October will be worth it once our beautiful garden is in full bloom. I love Spring.....I just hope the snow that is bound to come doesn't kill my beautiful flowers.
