More Memorial Day Pics

Here are a couple of pictures from Monday night. We decided after Mike got off work to run to Bluffdale and Lehi. His dad is buried at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery. The pictures of Mike and I and his two brothers are in Bluffdale. His stepdad, grandparents and several of his relatives are buried at the Lehi cemetery. When we got to his stepdad's grave there was this beautiful rainbow. It's not easy to get a good picture of a rainbow, but Mike did a great job.

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day. This has not been the most exciting weekend for us. Mike had to work today, yesterday and Saturday and I have a head cold. Not feeling so hot. I've left the house a total of two times this weekend. Once to go to the grocery store and the other time was to go to Steve's house to watch the UFC fight. Both of these were on Saturday. The boys are enjoying having me home. I swear the cat doesn't leave my side when I'm home. I thought cats were indedpendent creatures!? Today has been rainy so I'm just going to stay inside and scrapbook. I haven't done that in a while. I'm also watching a new show (to me) that friends at work have been telling me to see, Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC. It is so cute. They are having an all-day marathon. I can't imagine having 8 kids. It's crazy, but they look like a fun family.

I've included a photo I took this morning. I was at the dining room table scrapbooking and couldn't resist taking a picture. Barney is in his favorite spot (my grandmothers phone table), Fred's in his usual spot on the couch and you can see on the TV, Jon and Kate plus 8.

Have a good rest of the weekend.

The Utah Jazz

Last night Mike, myself and a couple of friends watched the final Jazz game of the season. They made a valiant run in the end, but it was a little too late. Mike is so sad the season is over. There are few things in this world that Mike loves more than the Jazz. I'm not much of a fan of the Jazz or anyone sports (except UFC, that will be another post), but the playoffs have been fun to watch. Mike even bought me a pink Boozer t-shirt to wear during each game (which I did). Last night the five of us had our shirts and Jerseys on. Mike was wearing his Jazz t-shirt, I was wearing mine, Heather was wearing a Williams jersey and Steve wore Brewers jersey, then there was Fred. Mike decided to put his Korver jersey on Fred. It was pretty cute on him. Not sure Fred thought it was too cool. Above are a couple of pictures of Mike and Fred.

Mother's Day Weekend

Mike and I had a great Mother's day weekend this year. On Saturday, we visited his mom and gave her some new shoes. On Sunday, we drove up to Idaho and visited with my mom. I made her homemade Manicotti and we watched the Jazz game. Thank goodness they won. I don't think it would have been a good drive home yesterday if they lost. Mike is a HUGE fan of the Jazz. So much so that if they lose he will not talk to anyone the rest of the night, it's pretty funny. For Mother's day I gave my mom a copy of the Josh Groban Dvd. This concert was filmed here in Salt Lake. My mom was supposed to go to that concert with me and Mike, but she had foot surgery and couldn't make it. So I took a friend of mine with me and we had a great time. The concert was great, but even better we got to shake Josh's hand. On the dvd it shows Matt and I shaking hands with him. It's track 11 on the dvd. You can see a little bit of Mike too. I have yet to get a copy of this dvd, but I can't wait to see the whole thing again. Thanks mom for a fun weekend. Sorry it was so short. You and Lu Jean are the best moms two people could ask for. Love you.
