Last night we took the boys to their very first Phoenix Suns game! The Suns played the Utah Jazz in a really close game. It was neck and neck the entire time. I don't think either team led by more than 5 or 6 points during the entire game. I will admit that I really am not much of a sports fanatic, much to Kyle's great disappointment. I DO really, honestly ENJOY watching live basketball games though. I can watch it on tv and not be completely bored out of my mind, but live baskeball is probably the only sport that I would pay more to watch live. I (shamefully) become a whole other person when I'm watching a live NBA game. Let's just say Kyle couldn't stop staring at me and just smiling or laughing. I don't know what was wrong with him! The game was SO close and he was as calm as...a Hindu cow (I don't know?)??? He was calm! At any rate, we had a great time. The boys had a blast and we (the Suns) WON! Yes!! Go Suns!!! Final score 101 to 102 SUNS! Here are some of our pictures from the night.

Playdough

We have been on a play dough kick lately around our house. I found this AWESOME recipe for play dough a couple weeks ago on one of my favorite sites, HowDoesShe. It makes the softest, squishiest play dough that lasts forever! Seriously. The boys left one of the bags out and opened for almost the whole day one time and it's still super squishy! The boys love that they can actually help me make it too. I let them dump in the ingredients and help stir then we all knead it together when the dough cools.Chase was so proud of his play dough that he asked to take it to pre-school for show and tell. His teacher said he was so excited telling all his friends how he helped make it and letting them all squish it. So here's the recipe for those who are interested:

Super Soft Play Dough

1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/4 cup salt

2 tsp cream of tarter

1 Tb vegetable oil

4 drops of your favorite food coloring

Dump all ingredients into a med. pot and stir constantly over med. heat until it forms one big glob. Take off heat and put the glob on some wax paper. When cool knead the dough until it's nice and soft. Enjoy!!!
