Japan warms up against the Cubs

So my mom told me and Isaac that the Japan National Team was going to be playing the Cubs at Spring Training and I started laughing that I had to correct her because I told her they were in the middle of the World Baseball Classic and would not be in lowly Arizona to play the Cubs at Spring Training.  After I decided to humor her and check the website she saw this info. on, I was excited to see she was actually right!  Isaac bought us some great seats behind home plate and he and I got to go watch the game.  It was a great time and a bunch of big name players played for both teams.  Japan won (who we wanted to win) and we really enjoyed ourselves.  

Snow, snow, Snow, Snow...snow.

It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow... Isaac, Israel and I had a very fun time yesterday. We took a little trip to Flagstaff, AZ. We went to Snow-bowl. It was really fun! It didn't start off too fun! Let me just start by telling you that It's been 2 years since I last went snow boarding (for the first and only time). So yesterday was time number 2. It was also time number 2 for Israel. We decided it would be a good thing to try the little bunny hill as a warm up. ....that was a bad idea. The little bunny hill was so icy, so holy, so dirty and so small of an incline... It was awful! We were sliding around uncontrollably! I realized during this run that a helmet made me feel claustrophobic!!! OK... On to bigger hills... We then went up the lift... When trying to get off I slipped and so then pushed into him and he was forced back into his seat. I fell down on the snow and he went a few feet and then fell off the seat onto his head and the guy controlling the lift had to stop the lift for a moment to get us up and out of the way! It was pretty awful!!! Israel had to take 3 tylenol so he could continue snow boarding! I don't think that Israel will ever be willing to go up the lift with me EVER again!!! So the first hour and a half was pretty H@#*-ish!!! The rest of the time was better! The larger hill was much more enjoyable! We weren't great @ snow boarding, but we did have fun! We would both go a ways and fall and watch each other go a ways and fall! We were doing pretty good! I think the next time we go (hopefully next week) we will be way better! I'm excited to get real good! I love it!

I think Spring is DIVINE!!!

I love all the seasons! however today I especially love spring! I love the weather here in AZ! It's in the low 70s and there's a slight chance of rain! I love it! Another thing I love is these trees that are all over town! They are so beautiful! I was at Basha's and there were a few of these trees in the parking lot... They are just so pretty I had to take a few pictures of them! I love them!

Super Bowl

I have always enjoyed at the end of a game where the camera inevitably goes to shots of the losing team.  They look so demoralized and beaten down.  There was a great picture of Kurt Warner on the front page of the AZ Republic looking all sad.  It just makes me laugh.  I will say this has been one of the best if not the best Super Bowl ever...and the Cardinals were in it!!!  I have to give some dap to the Cards even if I'm not a fan.  Near the end of the game I was almost rooting for them and getting mad when they were making dumb mistakes.  Win or lose, they were in it, and that is something 30 other teams can't say.
