Friends

Last week was Spring Break for the kids.  I think it was a good warm up for me for the soon to be summer vacation for the kids. We had such a fun time staying home and also going out and playing with friends.   I also got to go to the last Jazz game of the season (boo hoo)

We played with our friends the Uffenordes a lot.  We went to the Kangaroo Zoo on Thursday.  When I told the kids the morning of that we were going Kira kindly implored.. whats a KANGAROO zoo?  My sweetie honestly thought we were going to look at kangaroos.  When I reminded her what it was she said oh its called the Kangaroo Zoo because we jump and bounce around like kangaroos!

Joshy one of the many many times he asked me to "watch Mom!"

as you can tell Kira had a fun fun time!

The girls of the Uffenorde and Allen clans also got to play on Friday. We had a girl scout activity at the library, then of course that wasn't enough time for the girls to be together so we went to the park followed by a fun trip to Baskin Robbins (treated by Alyssa... Thanks!)  That would have to do but it still wasn't enough time for the friends since birth Kira and Kyah (they often tell other friends, "hey did you know I've known Kira since I was born!")

I got to see some friends besides Alyssa.  Jessie is in town and we all went to dinner on Thursday ( I picked her up so we could have that extra talking time)  We spent a good 3 hours at Chilis. Tons of talking, good laughs, good times but not good service (our waitress was kind of annoying).  It  is always so fun to be with Jessie.  We also had a picnic at my house on Saturday. the sun was shining the kids were good, what more could you ask for!  We missed Rachelle on both days. Rachelle is ALWAYS busy with school or work.

Wednesday was the last game of the season. As a Jazzbot some of us were given tickets and a pass to eat in the VIP room. It was such an incredible night besides the fact of the disappointment of the season ending early. The dinner was great, the company was also great.  No spouses were invited. It was kind of nice because we got to talk to each other.  Its kind of amazing that some of these people I hadn't "met" before but because of our contact on the website and twitter it was like chatting with old friends.  The Jazz played a great game and won!

Here is a video not related to that night but I found it today. Don't know how I never saw it before or how I didn't remember it but hello the best NBA commercial for a girl who loves Friends and who loves John Stockton
