100 Years of U. of Utah Basketball

The University of Utah invited to celebrate 100 years of Utah basketball. It was so fun seeing all the players Doug played with and their families. It seemed like yesterday, that Doug played there. We met the new coach Jim Boylen and Doug snatched some new Utah gear. I love the new coach. He is full of enthusiasm and personality. Our kids had a good time. They just thought everyone was soooo tall. Cydney thought it was cool that we were in the same place that High School Musical 2 was filmed. Yes, Troy Bolton had been there!! She didn't seem to care about all the NBA players but maybe someday she will. It was really fun.

The Kids with Keith Van Horn.
This was Doug's high school basketball coach Craig Hammer and his wife. He also played at the University of Utah. It was fun to see them again.

Greg Barratt used to hang out with me and Doug before his mission!! I don't think we have seem him since he left on his mission. He married one of Doug's high school girlfriends. Shelly is really nice and it was fun to catch up.

A bunch of the players from when Doug played including a few others like Larry Cain, Jeff Johnson, and Nate Althoff.

They took us to our seats through the tunnel. The kids thought that was cool!! I wanted a picture with Walter Watts. He played with Doug's brother Keith. He was remarkably quick for such a big guy!!

The kids were able to go on the floor.
Taylor with Andrew Bogut and Mike Doleac. Everyone remembered Taylor as a little 2 year old. Taylor loved the game!!
Doug, Mike Doleac, and Ben Caton. Mike currently plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Sick of Winter?

We have been plastered with snow this winter. So much that they canceled school. My kids were so bored they decided to run laps around our house. They did 300!! Paityn joined in yelling, "I'm running!" It was really cute. Needless to say they were really tired that night. I don't know why the picture is sideways. Help!!
