Jazz Playoffs vs Golden State

The Jazz are in the playoffs and after beating the Clippers, now they are playing the Golden State Warriors (the best team in the NBA and maybe, of all time).  The boys have been enjoying the games on TV and when they got a chance to see game four at the Vivint Smart Home Arena with Grandma and Grandpa, they were so excited!  Kandis bought Brandon playoff tickets for his birthday and they went to the Clippers games, but they weren't able to go to game four of the Western Conference Semifinals. Kandis offered them to the boys and everything worked out great. 

I was flying out to Ohio to meet with a client so right when school ended on Monday, May 8th, Jill and I picked up the children from school and drove me to the airport.  Then they went to Grandma's where she had a nice dinner made for them.  Alyssa and Jill drove home and the boys got to go to the last game of the season.  The Jazz were swept but the boys got to get a free shirt and loved seeing  Golden State play. 

While the boys went to the Jazz game, I took my boss to Ohio to meet with a client.  While there, we went to a Reds vs. Yankees baseball game.  John likes baseball so he bought me a ticket.  I'm not as big of a fan of baseball but it was fun being at the park and enjoying the atmosphere. 

Here is my Ohio selfie in front of a strip mall. 

When I got home from the trip, Logan's basketball team had a team party.  He had a lot of fun and hopefully, he can play with these boys again.  The coach lives in Herriman and had a lovely home.

Landon had a class field trip to Hogle Zoo.  Jill was able to chaperone and watch these seven children.  Landon was acting crazy and the boys all kept singing "The Eye of the Tiger" as they walked around the zoo.  They sang it especially loud to the tiger and thought that was so cool.

Later they walked to This is the Place Monument and gathered for a class photo.  It was nice; the teachers got them singing the Utah song they learned for their fourth grade program.

We ended the week at a baseball game that our in vitro doctor sponsored.  It was really nice of Dr.  Heiner to sponsor and we had a nice time eating a hot dog, drinks, and popcorn and watching the game.  We made it to the seventh inning stretch, but then left for home.  It was freezing cold and we'd had a long and busy day.

Last week, Logan told me about a boy in his class who became a vegetarian for 2-3 months and his dad gave him money for doing it.  I flippantly told Logan I'll give him $100 if he goes without eating desserts for six months until his birthday.  Surprisingly, he took me up on it and now Landon is doing it too.  So far they have gone two weeks and are going strong!  I'm proud of him for giving up treats, candy, desserts, and sugary snacks for this long.  He wants to drop some pounds for football this year and look good for Jr. High!
