Tons of Sports, for a "Not Really into Sports Man"

I don't know what to tell you.  I think that I am going a little overboard due to the current circumstances my family has found themselves in.  However we have been greatly blessed by some awesome friends who have hooked us up with some great tickets to some really good games.  Here it goes:





My best-friend Jordan Bawden got hooked up with some Cardinal's tickets.  So not only did he call and ask if I could go, he let me take Brexton, and my most adventurous football loving brother Trey.  And to top it all off, they were pretty awesome seats to a Pre-season Cardinals vs the Chargers game.  We lost, however we like San Diego too (thanks to my extended family) so it wasn't that big of a deal.  Here is a pic of the troll and I, who fell asleep it was great.

 


Now it is on to something that I love.  I have no idea what the referee means when he throws his hands a certain way, and really it is annoying every time I see a stupid yellow flag come onto the field.  I have no idea what a safety is, or a defensive fat man, or a speedy short man, I just know that I LOVE ASU FOOTBALL!  This was the best gift I have ever purchased for myself, and I can thank the Fort's.  Both Dave and Rachel; they are season ticket holders, and after I graduated from ASU Charlotte and I decided to become season ticket holders too.  So we sit right next to two other couples and have constantly been trying to recruit additional couples and have come pretty close.  However the best recruit was Cote, he wanted to go so badly, so he worked all winter saving up his money and paid for half of his ASU season ticket.  Nice work you die hard fan you.

This first pic was from the first game where Trey came with us.  Cote was sporting his Pat Tillman jersey we got him for making it on the Honor role last year at school.  Yes those are our seats, and I love being right there.  All of the action happens there it is fantastic.


These next pics are from ASU's Black Out Game against Missouri (we won), and it was a great game.  Just shy of selling out, overtime, pizza, soda and the light rail.  Brexton wanted to go really badly, he was a little upset that he did not get to go last time.  So I took him.  However as you can see Brexton is most alert only when eating pizza and drinking root beer.  His favorite two things, Pizza, and Root beer.  Other than that, he was sleeping.  On the bench as depicted in the uncomfortable photo on the top right, and on the light rail on the way home as shown in the bottom left photo.  Crazy kid slept on that bench while everyone was going nuts, and didn't even move it was hilarious.



Now for a true sports fanatic, and ASU football fan.  Cote too loves to eat pizza as depicted by his "don't take a picture of me, I am ten, and to cool for that nonsense" look as shown in the picture.  And this one that I snagged as he celebrated an ASU play.  He gets so into it, and never stops cheering, talking, or moving around.  He loves it, and is at a perfect age for it.  Cote you are the man.

Here is my buddy Jordan, we are all sporting our blackout shirts.  I love Jordan because he is a true football fan, me I am just there for the fun.  Every time ASU would score a touchdown he would run all the way to the top high-fiving everyone it was so funny.  I could not celebrate because I was laughing so hard.  New tradition.


And now onto baseball.  I am telling you I have had a whirlwind two weeks of sports.  Our friend Kea hooked us up with some of my all time favorite seats for a dbacks game.  Left field, right where the bullpen meets the wall.  So fun, you get see everything, and be right there in the middle of the plays.  Brexton he likes baseball games again for a couple of reasons, food, drink, baseball, and most importantly the play area.  Yep, but hey, he likes going and has a great time so I am not complaining.  Nixin on the other hand was not sure of the noise, did not want to watch the game, and was only able to smile when provided ice cream.  But you know what.  I don't care, that is why I have a little girl.  So I can take her to the ball game, and giver her ice cream.  I have my boys to watch sports with.  Love it.

  1. Watching sports is not nearly as much fun as watching the crazy people who become coaches in the stands. Enjoy the games, pizza, and root beer with the kids while you can. If you are lucky they will still want to go with you when they become teenagers, young adults and parents themselves like Kristi.

  2. Such a fun post! Love all the pictures! makes me wish we would have signed up when you asked us! But, I couldn't get myself or August to spend that kind of money on games every weekend when we have no clue what's going on either-not football people. Looks so fun tho! We will have to hang out soon! -Melissa
