Dodge Ball Barrage

On Friday night, Brady and I were hanging out at home and one of his friends called and asked if he wanted to fill the last spot on their dodgeball team, so of course he said yes. Evey year, Deron Williams, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Price hold a dodgeball tournament and all the money that is raised go to their charities. We had heard of the tournament, but knew it was expensive to play in, so we were excited that he could participate and not have to pay a penny! He had to be at the Salt Palace a little before 9:00 a.m. so while he did that, I walked in the NAMI walk (the National Alliance for Mental Illness). It was a beautiful day and I was glad to support Tazia and Bradli Jo in honor of their dad; it was really fun to catch up with old friends, too.

Brady and his team won their first 6 games and had a 3-hour break until 3:30 p.m. so I drove downtown after the walk was finished and met him for lunch at Blue Lemon; Katie was working so she met us and ate with us, it was fun. While we were walking downtown, we ran into Donny Osmond! Brady LOVES to get pictures with celebrities, so as soon as he saw him, we stopped him before he crossed the street and snapped a picture with him (he was going to the temple to attend a wedding). Brady asked him if he's watching Dancing With the Stars this season and Donny said yes and that he thinks Brandy will win. He was really nice!

Waiting for the buzzer to begin the game. Even though it's only dodgeball, I was so nervous for him! I just wanted him to do well so I had butterflies in my stomach.

All of Brady's team mates got out and he was the last one on the floor...um, scary! There were 4 guys on the other team and Brady caught the balls they threw at him and was able to get some of his team members back on the floor. Brady's team ended up winning! Good job Brady, way to make me proud.

After winning the first 7 games, they lost their 8th game and were out of the tournament, dang it!

We had such a fun time at the Dodgeball Barrage and had a great time seeing our Jazz players so close. Jazz season starts next month and I can't wait!
