"The Big Dance"

Well March has come and gone and so has college basketball. Last night we had "The Big Dance" bash. The game between North Carolina and Michigan State was a bit disappointing to watch. Nobody likes to see a game where one team just gets slaughtered, especially in such a big championship. However, the pizza was good, the cupcakes were great, but to top the night, Alison won the trophy! That is right! She took down the powerhouse Castillo family and pulled a win for her husband. Now he finally has the trophy in his house. Here are the final standings:

1. Alison
2. Eric Quinney
3. Blake Higley
4. Elder Dex (Devon)
5. Tyson Johnson
6. Michelle
7. Leigh
8. Ashton
9. Brian Jenks
10. Curtis
11. London
12. Dallas

It was a lot of fun and our newcomers proved to be quite the contenders. Alison's new strategy of picking the winning team was a great success. She determined the winners by their mascots, which animal/thing would win in a fight in real life. Apparently, it matters what your mascot is and apparently North Carolina's Tar Heels(a ram) are the dominant animal.

Here are the pictures of the trophy "ceremony"..

The winner

And here is Ashton's bracket door. He just couldn't leave Yahoo! in charge of determining the winner, he had to do it manually as well.


This bout of madness was fun and thank you to all who participated in it this year!

March Madness

As February is winding down, our household is nothing but a buzz of basketball. You see March is coming and that can only mean one thing: College Basketball. Oh yes, it is that time of year again. The time for everyone to fill out their brackets for Ashton's Bracket Challenge and hope that they picked the right teams. The prize for all of this madness, the "Big Dance" party put on by the Jenks where the winner of the challenge is awarded the bowling trophy with duct tape at the base for your name. Haaa, life can't get much better than this.
