Jessica . Kodi .Kennedy . Amelie: U of U Bball game

11 February 2009

We were fortunate enough to go to a U of U basketball game back in February (thanks to Kodi's cousin Tyson, giving us extra tickets! Thanks Tyson!!!)

Kodi, Colin, Kennedy, & I all headed to the game together, & met up with Kent (Kodi's dad) & Kory (Kodi's uncle).

I must admit, I'm not a huge sports fan, but have somewhat been converted to watching some Utes & Jazz games with Kodi here & there. I'll admit, it's a lot more fun to watch Basketball & Football, once you actually understand the rules & plays. I still would much rather see a sporting event (of any kind) in person, rather than on our tiny TV at home & so, I was actually quite excited to go to the Utes vs San Diego State Basketball game.

Here are a 'few' of the pics I took at the game

Kennedy had a BLAST!!! This little girl has definitely won Daddy's heart with her love for watching sports with him.

seriously, does it get any cuter?

sadly, this was the best pic of Colin & I together (didn't help that I was taking the pic of us, & thoroughly suck at taking pics at that odd angle)

Kennedy had so much fun with Colin, while at the game. (she, as well as the rest of us, miss him dearly.. it sure was fun having him live with us for a while)

must've been pretty intense! (for both of them apparently. Kennedy was gripping her seat!)

She told me 'no more pictures' (haha, I DO take sooo many pics! She was bound to say that sooner or later)

Kennedy had so much fun dancing every time the band played music

dancing...

Kennedy loves spending time with Grandpa Kent

Grandpa Kent bought kennedy some yummy Dippin' Dots

She really liked the Dippin' Dots ice cream.. Fortunately though for Mommy, she only ate like 5 bites & decided she was finished.. So, I got to indulge in my first ever Dippin' Dots, & I must say, they could very well be one of the yummiest ice creams I've ever tasted! I loved the texture!

This surely was a very intense & stressful game. At one point, Utah had pretty much thrown away any chance of winning.. & yet, somehow, they pulled it together to take back the big WIN! (I don't know how I survived that game... I had Kodi, Kent, Kory, & Colin all stressing out & yelling 'at' players & refs for a big chunk of the game (in my ear ;).. pretty sure I still have some hearing loss, 4 months later! ;)

I'm not gonna lie.. My very favorite part of all sporting events is when the dancers perform! It was even more of a treat to see Kodi's cousin, Kalli, as one of the dancers on the Crimson Line dance team, for the U of U.

These little girls were so adorable! I can't wait to get Kennedy into some sort of dance class! She would have so much fun doing cute little dances like these little girls did!
