The JAZZ Game!!

Noah just loved the game! He kept clapping and making his cute little noises the whole time. He only got a little restless toward the end and I think that's because he wanted some Mommy juice. But it was fun to have him (and his cute double chin) with us.

Okay so I got some Jazz tickets from Brett like 2 weeks ago. My plan was to surprise Nate with them (he likes surprises, and he loves the Jazz). So for 2 weeks I had to keep my big mouth shut about these tickets. And it wasn't easy!!! Especially when Nate had the great idea to get free tickets to Thursday night's game!!! I totally had to trick him into not getting them so that we could use the ones I got. It's really hard for me to lie to Nate. But so anyway.

Thursday afternoon I took the kids over to Jared and Paulette's (thanks again guys for watching them on the forced Late Over :)jk.) when I got back Nate was already home and I hadn't even made our on-the-road dinners yet, so on the spot I thought of "the kids are gone, we're going on a date, and since we don't have a ton of money, we're just going to go on a picnic". So we came inside, made the sandwiches, got everything for a picnic, and took off. Nate was so cute to ask me which park we were going to (good job!) and I told him that I knew of a park just past Smith's (I was kind of thinking of a few on the way to the freeway, but then it hit me that if we got on the freeway any later we would hit traffic), so I convinced him to get on the freeway, and head North. The great thing about Nate is that he is so trusting! He never once questions why we can afford to drive down to Taylorsville (taht's where we ended up picnicking) but not just grab something to eat close to home. Yeah, so since we were meeting Meg and Chris in Taylorsville I decided we would just have our picnic at the park where Nate almost proposed to me (LONG story). It was very sweet and very sentimental, and I love that Nate thought I just wanted to go there for that reason :) (not that I wouldn't, but I am a little too gas conscious to think of that). So we had a really nice picnic, just Nate, Noah and I, and then it was "time to go get the kids". So we got in the car and as we were driving I just let it all out! "Nate, I have something to tell you- we're actually going to go to a Jazz game tonight." He was SO CUTE when I told him!! I love Nate and his obsession with the Jazz- it's the funnest thing. Even for a preseason game!! Nate, I so love your surprisedness too- way to go on being surprised- that just makes it so fun to do things for you!! Thanks Babe! Yeah, so anyway- we met up with Meg and Chris (thanks again guys for coming with us- that was so much fun! I loved being able to do the girly chat-while-you-watch-the-game thing too, so thanks Meg). It was really a fun night. I love being able to spend good quality time with my Sweetie. I'm excited to have the season starting again- we missed the Jazz while we were in AK. I'm so glad they came back in the last half- and WON!! (that would have totally bummed me out had they lost :)) What a fun night!
