Our True Tall Tale

Skylar's school entered a reading contest where they had to read a bunch outside of school. They competed with a lot of schools along the Wasatch Front. Skylar read like a crazy woman, of course, and was one of the top readers in her class. The schools that read the most minutes won this:
Yes, an official real life visit from a player from the Jazz. They totally lucked out and got Andre Kirilenko. Skylar was really bummed to wake up the morning of the assembly with a fever of 102. I made her rest the entire day and then, since her fever was gone, I took her over to school just for the assembly. It was pretty cool. Kirilenko read a few books with the kids and then answered some questions. Man, that guy is tall. I asked Kade if he was the tallest guy he'd ever seen and he said, "Nope. Daddy's taller!" Yeah, not exactly, buddy!
Afterwards we got stuck trying to leave while they were having a little news conference with him. I took full advantage of the closeness and got some shots of Skylar and McKade (Nick was at preschool). We were also on KJZZ that night on their Sports show. It was just for about 20 seconds but hey, it's always pretty cool to be on TV.

Well that makes sense now on facebook why you said you have the only child throwing a tantrum when they had to miss school for a fever.

Hello there was a Jazz player at school Mom! haha! Too funny.
