What do we do now??

our life has been consumed with basketball for the last 4 months! we have gone to almost every game for both of my brothers... now that it is over, i don't know what to do with all my time... i'm sure i'll find something! well the state championships were fun to watch, but we didn't win. thatcher did awesome. almost everyone though we were going to get beat really bad (because we played a christian school that can recruit)... but we stayed close the whole game and did great. it was fun that the team got to play in the jobing.com arena in glendale (it is the coyote's hockey arena).. it was a short one, day trip this time, but fun to support my brother and the team.. levi (my brother) made the all tourn. team! i am proud of him and glad we were able to be here for his last b.ball season!!

those who made it to the state championship game

the waterfall @ the arena

this was the game when all but one of the siblings were there (my girls were with a babysitter, it makes it much easier to watch a game that way)

the loudest fans!! me and my two sisters

last weekend in mesa at my in-laws (sunday)

it was so fun to be with our layton cousins again. we miss them!!

Take state EAGLES!!

Tomorrow we are headed to Mesa, AGAIN.. we have made so many short trips lately.. but tomorrow will be so fun. Thatcher boys basketball made it to the championships in the Glendale arena!! My little brother, who is a senior, is one of the starters! He is so good and we have gone to almost every game this season! I love small town sports, because the whole town (at least a lot of them) comes out to support the teams! Today as the team was leaving to mesa, they we escorted out of town by the police, and firetrucks (with their sirens) and lots of fans! It is so exciting! We are playing a really tough team, but hope to win tomorrow... I will keep you updated... Last weekend, during the playoffs, 9 out of 10 of the kids in my family were at the game! ... it was a pretty big crowd and really loud... It was so fun to be together and we missed Tom who didn't make it! Tomorrow I am leaving Haylee and Hanna with their cousins and Wayne and I are taking Maci to the game. It should be exciting!! GO EAGLES!!
