Wheelin' Jazz Celebrity Game

Tonight we went to the Wheelin' Jazz Celebrity Game! Ben and I are Sunday-school teachers for the 15 year olds in our ward. Jason Hall is in our class and is a member of the Wheelin' Jazz Jr. basketball team. He invited us to the Wheelin' Jazz  Celebrity Basketball game. The celebrity team consisted of local celebrities such as: Shawn Bradley, Kyle Whittingham, Reno Mahe, Jazz Bear, Swoop, Grizzbee, Miss Utah, and a bunch of news anchors. It was pretty much just a party with a little basketball going on. It was a fundraiser and you could buy a point for your team with $1. There was raffle tickets and lots of goofing off among the two "opposing" teams (for instance one player took another players wheel off their chair in the middle of the game, etc.) It was pretty funny. At one point the Bear climbed on top of the basketball hoop and then went through the basket (his whole body!!) it was amazing! Hailey and Aubrey thought that was hilarious!!! Of course, never to miss a photo op, I passed Ashley off to every mascot in sight for a picture!

Below: Jason Hall our Wheelin' Jazz Jr. player

 Flash Fox picked up Aubrey and Hailey and held them for the picture.
 Swoop with Ashley ( the hawk was very natural and tender with Ashley, made me wonder if it's a "she" hawk)
 I have no idea who the Sasquatch guy is, but I mean really, who doesn't want their baby's photo with a Harley Davidson Sasquatch?
 Remember how I said Swoop was natural with a baby? Yeah, Bear, not so much.

So Bear is definitely a guy, huh? Haha! I love that the fox guy picked up the girls and you didn't take a big enough picture to tell he picked them up. Lol. :) Super cute pics though. I wish I could've come, that would've been fun. But that viewing was important and I'm glad I went. LOVE YOU!
