Laker Jazz Game

So this past Wednesday the Lakers came to play the Utah Jazz, of course we had to go and support our team. As most of you know Chad is a huge Laker fan, especially for Kobe, he also knows how to work a deal! He bought and resold some tickets and with the profit we were able to sit EIGHT rows up from the court! It worked out great that my Uncle Shaun was doing security right by where we were sitting. So when the Lakers came to warm up we were able to stand on the court and watch them... I can't believe how big 7ft guys are!!! Well if you watched the game you know it came down to the wire and the Lakers could not pull it off. Amazingly we were not harassed too bad, the one time we were it was Chad who kept me calm! Even though they lost it was still so awesome to sit that close and be at a Laker game! Here are a few photos of the game!

Chad and I before the game, this one security guard was definately trying to regulate on us, he didn't know we had "connections"

The team warming up

Here's us at our seats, still smiling even though we lost!

My cousin Matt had this hilarious poncho his parents got him from Mexico! Everybody was asking him where he got it! Still smiling knowing out team is still number 1!

Lisa's Bridal Shower!

One of my closest friends Lisa is getting married this month! I am so excited for her, she is so in love and so happy with her fiance Matt. I decided to throw her a bridal shower here in Utah with all of her friends and it was so much fun. We had a crepe bar that was delicous. Chad woke up early that morning and made about 50 crepes! He also hung some pictures I have been wanting up-What a good husband!he then took off to the gym so he wouldn't be in the way. But the crepes were a big hit, it was fun to do something different. A lot of Lisa's friends came, it was fun to have some of the Canyon Lake Ward girls come too! This was the first shower I have ever thrown and I am so glad that it was for Lisa!

I forgot to post this picture earlier of all the food, it definately deserved its picture being taken :)

I told Alexandra that she looked like she belonged with the crepes, she had the French look going on.

Maria and Katie came, it was so fun to have them there!

The trio! Look at the good we are up to now! Back in the days we were the ultimate girls! We loved hanging out. Funny story: one time the three of us were singing the song "Im just a kid" and jumping on Lisa's bed, well it broke when we were on it, and we all started screaming! One of the funniest nights!

I am so excited for her to get married! Its another thing to add to the list of similiarites between the two of us!

Zions National Park

What better to do on a 3-day weekend, then get away from the cold and snow and head down towards some sun! We invited my brother David and his wife Meggan to come join us on a little road trip to St. George where we spent the day at Zions National Park. We had so much fun with them, racing to the top of a mountain, chasing deer, almost eating it on the icy trails, and enjoying Zions for the first time.

Here is Chad and I posing for a photo, this is on one of the trials up in a mountain cave.

Me and Megg decided to take a break from racing to the top of the mountain.

Chad was holding this rock up so that it wouldn't fall, doesn't he look so excited to be doing so.

I think David thought he won the race, either that or he is "raising the roof"!

Big Day for Me!

Ok so I know it has been forever since I have blogged, I love doing it but we haven't had the internet (ever) at our house so I always had to do it in between classes, or sneak on a friends computer real quick. But today was a big day at the Davenport condo...we FINALLY got the internet. I joked with Chad and told him I couldn't sleep last night I was so excited. But thats not really a joke because I woke up before my alarm this morning, because I was so nervous I would sleep through the time it was supposed to be set up. So now I can be more up to date on my homework and grades, check out craigslist for any odds and ends I love to find, and especially keep in contact with friends and family better. Today has been a great day!

Beach Trips!

This vacation has consisted mainly of visiting all the different beaches in Southern California. When you move away to the cold all you think about when coming to CA is going to the beach. And even though it hasn't been warm enough to go in the water we have been able to skateboard, play volleyball, frisbee, and scooter along the ocean.
We went to Long Beach with my family a few days ago thinking we would just stop for a few minutes as the sunset and ride the skateboard around. We began walking further and further from the car when we heard my sister McKenna yell, "Chad I think someones in your car!!" We looked towards the car and saw a man inside, Chad and my Dad both sprinted just as the man also started running. I thought for sure my purse was gone, so they both followed the thief not knowing if they were going to have to fight the guy or not. Fortunately when I got to the car I realized that my purse and everything was still there, the thief must have gotten startled and didn't have time to take anything. We felt that we were definately watched over and also thanked McKenna for saving the DAY!
On a happier note here are some picutres of our day in Long Beach, Misison Bay, Old Town San Diego, and Balboa Park. We really have been quite the tourists this trip!

Playing tourist in Old Town San Diego

Our cute nephew Luke amazed at how big this waterfall is!

Getting some shots to recreate our wedding pictures at Balboa Park...Chad looks really into it huh?

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year...we spent Christmas Eve in Wildomar with my family and had a great dinner, sang songs and opened presents. It was so much fun having the whole family there, the last 3 Christmases we have had a addition to the "Wilson Family" first it was Landon, then Chad and now Meggan. Grandma Dee and Grandpa David also came out to celebrate Christmas Eve with us.

Next we went to Torrance to spend Christmas Day with the Davenport side of the family. We opened up Christmas presents that Santa brought, had a great breakfast and then Chad and I took off to the Laker vs Celtics game. Chad's boss took us with him to this game and it was so much fun! I have never been to a Laker home game and this had to be the best one to go to. We left the game with a hoarse voice and happy our Lakers won on Christmas Day!

My sister-n-law and I got matching socks for Christmas!

After the Laker game we came back to Torrance had another great meal and played with our new gifts. It was a great day spent with family, friends, and of course the Lakers!

Recent Family Fun!

I havent blogged in a long time and it seems like so much has happened in the last couple weeks. We had a great Thanksgiving at my aunts house in Tooele with all of my family! We had a family ultimate frisbee game that was a lot of fun...for the most of us :) The day after Thanksgiving Meggan was baptized and right after that we headed down to St. George to spend some time with Chads family. It was a nice escape from the cold weather, we have such a good time in St. George! Most recently Chad and I watched our niece and nephew so their parents could get a night out on the town. They were so good for us, I am not gonna lie it made me a little baby hungry!

Luke didn't want to go to sleep so instead he came and cuddled with me on the couch, hoping his Uncle Chad wouldn't make him go to his bed.

We put up our little Christmas tree, its so small but it does the job, someday we will have a big house to put a huge tree!

This is the newest addition to our family! Chad said he is a truck guy, and with gas prices low we decided to make the purchase. Hopefully we can keep those gas prices going down!

Yes, my whole family can fit in our little apt. Chad loves when we make this face with our mouths wide open so I had everyone do the signature pose!

The girls in the family, minus Meggen!

Chad got put on Landon watch. We went to Bridal Veil Falls up the Provo Canyon and let Landon throw rocks into the river, he loved it so much that he wanted to jump in and go swimming.

My mom loves to play photographer. She is actually really good at taking pictures, what we all love most about when she takes pictures is the funny positions she gets in, in order to capture the shot!

My cute parents...still in love!
