Basketball and Grandparenthood

I have been so busy watching all of the March Madness games that I have not taken time to post. How does anyone get anything done during the NCAA Tournament? I do not know. I don't want to miss a thing! The good news is that I think I am tied for 1st place in the Pedersen Bracket Pool. I plan to win! I cannot mention any schools from Utah right now because I have sworn not to even think their names again until football season. All 3 Utah teams got beaten. Sad. Fortunately, Kori brought Daci over on Friday and Dan and I took turns holding her all afternoon while we watched the games (see photo). Isn't she sweet sleeping on Dan's chest? Grandparenthood is definitely THE BEST. When I am holding her it doesn't even matter who wins the games. I think I better borrow her for several days this week in case the teams I picked decide to let me down!

It's Day One and I'm already feeling The Madness

A couple of weeks ago I shared our Utah State 5A High School Basketball March Madness. As you know, Lone Peak (where my son, Tannon plays) lost in the championship. It was sad, but I lived through it and have moved on. I have now gotten out of bed and even put on make up a few days since then (tee hee). Well, today the NCAA March Madness began. In our family, it is a tradition to do a brackets contest and I pride myself on always doing very well. I don't always win, but I almost always make it into the top 3. There have now been 3 games finished today and I have not started out well. I am 1-3. BUMMER! My beloved BYU Cougars let me down by losing to Texas A&M. I picked Butler to beat LSU but alas, they did not. I did pick Memphis to beat Cal State Northridge and they didn't disappoint, although they did have me scared for awhile. I guess if I was only getting 1 of the first 3 games, this was the one to get since I have Memphis picked to make it all the way to the championship. Go Tigers. The March Madness saga will continue on this blog as the tournament progresses. Here's to hoping my picks are right on for the rest of the day!
