This crazy weekend!

On Friday night I got a call from Amy Hogue, the head softball coach at the . She told me that her team was in town for the weekend and was wondering if I wanted to come to dinner with them... I was SO EXCITED! I met them at Pei Wei on Thursday night and it was so great to get caught up with her. She, is one of the GREATEST coaches EVER... best female coach by far! She knows the game so well and learned from my other wonderful coach, Vaughn Alvey, (Amy is a former Alta Hawk and Vaughn coached her but he now coaches for BYU... boooo!!!)... oh crap, there are a lot of former BYU softball players reading this (including my sister) huh?!?! Sorry, but not sorry enough to erase my comment! Anyway, I had a great time at dinner then had to leave to meet up with Katie Thomas to go pick up Ali McMillian and Kelly Clark (also formal teammates of the Utah Stars) from the airport... YIPEE, friends in town! We had such a great time hanging out. We picked the girls up at the airport then ate at the Waffle House where we talked with the waitress who, I'm positive, was a lesbian coming onto us... hmmmm, a lesbian coming on to softball players... how do they always know!!!???
Then on Friday I gathered up the kiddos (mind you, I'm exhausted because of the night before) and went to ASU to watch the Utes get their butts handed to them by number one Arizona State University... it was fun to watch and of course, we all wore our RED! Softball is so beautiful to me, just like golf is beautiful to Jon... just look at this field, it's a little bit of Heaven on Earth!

On Friday night we went to a Suns vs. Jazz game. I tried to go for the Suns, embracing my new roots, but I just couldn't. I wanted the Jazz to win... Jon was so mad that I wore orange!


By the way Kell, thanks for the great seats!!!
On Saturday I woke up to go to my kids' soccer meetings. I met their coaches and got their practice and game schedules and bought them a soccer ball so we can play in our yard! It was so crazy and overwhelming... I left thinking "my life will never be the same"!!! After the meeting my family and I went to "The Carnival at the Park". It was a carnival that Highland Park Elementary (Brayden's school) was putting on to raise money. The boys, and I mean all 3 of my boys, had a riot! Anabelle and I just chilled!






After the carnival I met up with my friends and went shopping, to dinner, and then to a karaoke bar. The bar is a little out of my element but my friends loved it! I just hung out and listened to the worst singing EVER!




The girls left on Sunday at 4:30am so I said my good-byes, which I'm sure none of them remembered but Katie, and went home to my dead asleep husband!

Whoosh! What a weekend! Now we are preparing for next week when my parents and Sadie come for the entire week of spring break... YIPEE!!!
