Last week was a busy week for us. Jason did this Lehi high school alumni tournament where one graduation class plays against another class and the difference in years is made up in points. For example if Jason’s year of 1995 was playing 2005, Jason’s team would start out with 10 points. So we ended driving down to Lehi (about a 40 minute drive) everyday to watch him play. It was really fun to see him play with his old high school buddies. Jason is actually really good, he always tells me about the glory days of high school but actually see it in action was kind of cool. In the last game he shot a 3-pointer to tie the game against the class of 2010. I just wish Brock had been there to see it, he was to busy running around the upper part of the gym playing tag with his cousins.
There was one more note worthy thing that happened besides Jason’s shooting, Zack cut his head open while going up the bleachers. Luckily my mother-in-law was there to hold him while I scrambled to find something to stop the bleeding. Right when he fell we picked him up and the blood just started streaming out. We laid him back and we had him close his eyes because the blood was filling up his eye sockets. Of course just that night I had forgotten my diaper bag so I had nothing. In desperation I asked the moms around me if any of them had any diaper wipes because I knew a dash to the bathroom would take me to long and blood would be everywhere. The mothers all kind of looked at me with blank stares because they hadn’t noticed that zack had fallen and now blood was streaming from his head. A girl right above us said she had some tissues, I gratefully grabbed the whole wad and put it on his head then ran to the bathroom to get more tissues. On my way out of the gym I passed Jason who was shooting baskets warming up for the game and told him Zack had cut his head open. It was kind of funny to see his reaction, he was so focused on basketball at the time and then to have this happen he couldn’t quite decide what he needed to do so he followed me to the girls bathroom and waited for me to get the toilet paper. We ended up getting the bleeding stopped pretty fast, the cut was a nice clean cut that a butterfly bandaid would work well on so Jason played his game and they ended up winning. In the end, everything turned out well.

All three of the boys were "reading" in front of the fire on Sunday, I thought it was so cute I took a picture, I also thought it was a good picture to show Zack's head.
P.S. I love finding bargains so I thought I would post them when I find them. My bargain of the week was finding ice melt for $1 at walmart. So I ended up getting 150 lbs for $6, now I am prepared for snow for years to come. Also I did Brooklyn's baby book thru Picaboo for free plus shipping (it was a 20 page leather bond book). Just type in the cope AFFLGB when checking out.

How fun to watch Jason play. Glad that the wound wasn't worse than it was.
