B Money - that's his rapper name :)

Last night, Brandon and Mike went to the Jazz playoff game.  Mike got his company's seats and decided to take Scott & Spencer, too.  The girls and I went to Amanda's soccer game in Riverton (they won by the way!)

Mike calls me just before tip off and said that Brandon gets to go 'Dash for Cash' at the end of the 1st quarter.

Seems Mike, Brandon and Spencer were trying to get a picture with the mini-bear (mascot) and the bear walked away. But, a Jazz guy was there and asked how old the boys were.  When everything was explained, Spencer was asked to 'dash' because he is older.  But Spence is pretty shy when it comes to that stuff, so Mike said Brandon would do it!
 Mike has a cute video that I'll try to download here.  So he goes out on the court and there is a 10 year old there, too.  They gave them 30 seconds to pick up the cash and stuff it in their shirts, etc.  B didn't quite understand the timing thing, but he did a good job! Then, they took them back and counted the money.

 He had grabbed $60 in 30 seconds!!!  But, then the sponsor - Zions Bank (thank you Zions!), evened both boys up and gave them each $200!  Brandon walked away with $250!!!!!

 Oh ya!  I was telling everyone at the soccer game and they were so excited!  My friend that I was texting asked me if he got to keep it and he does!  We'll put some in savings...he gave his friend, Spence $50, and we will let him buy himself something.  First thing he wanted to buy was sushi! We told him he doesn't have to pay for sushi...we do that.
Then, he wanted to pay for the bounce slide we want to rent for his birthday party and I said no, Mom and Dad pay for that!  Funny kid....can't come up with anything! I have a list a mile long :) Wonder if he'll give me a loan?

We are proud of you Brandon!!!

This morning he woke up and told me that he dreamed he was doing the Dash for Cash again!

Way to go Brando - we always knew you could move fast when you were motivated enough. Loves
