Austin's Birthday

Austin turned 7 this past Thursday! I can't believe he is that old. We celebrated with a small cake and a few presents, at home, with the family on Thursday. He was completely fine with this, knowing he had his "Birthday Surprise" on Friday. We have been hyping him up all week for his surprise.

On Friday we dropped the girls and mom off at the babysitter (how is that for rude!!!) and we picked up Caden. We started the evening off with dessert first (every boys dream... dessert before dinner). This is when he finally was told his big surprise....We were going to the Jazz Game! Just so you know, Austin LOVES the Jazz. He knows all the players names, numbers, pant sizes.....etc. He especially likes BOOZER! Boozer is his idol. Whenever Austin is playing basketball he is Boozer, he even has a boozer jersey. When Austin found out we were going to the Jazz he was so excited that the whole restaurant heard about it!

Stupid us, we decided after dessert that we would just leave the car in valet and walk to the game..."It's not that far!" claims Dave. A mile and a half later we were finally there with frost bit toes and ears. However this did not slow the boys down (me a little :), OK a lot, I am the biggest wimp when it comes to being cold.)

The Jazz game was awesome. The Jazz beat the Kings 127 to 113. They were nice enough to entertain the boys with 3 technicals (one from the Kings coach and 2 from Ron Artest which of coarse got him kicked out of the game) and lots of three point shots. However, much to my dismay, Austin's first words as we sat down in our nose-bleed seats was "Look Caden, CHEERLEADERS!" After lots of hot dogs, chips, drinks, and candy (good thing we had dessert first!) We made it home to relieve the babysitters. Austin gave the whole evening 2 thumbs up!

What a fun thing to give Austin. He's old enough to get excited about cheerleaders???
