Kaylin's Birthday Dress

 

Kaylin's Friend Birthday Party

This past Saturday, we had Kaylin's first friend birthday party, which was mostly a success, despite a few rough patches. See below for some fun pics.

Most of the partygoers- minus a couple cousins

Mickey Mouse cake instead of Minnie this time

I told her to show me her new jewelry and this was the pose she chose.

Toro's are State Champs!!!

Tyler and Ryan had a blast on Friday night when we went to see the Mountain View Toros win the State Championship in Boys Basketball.  They played amazing Defense the whole game.  To give you an idea, they played Brophy, who the night before scored 96 points.  On Friday, the Toros held them to 29 points.  After the game, we had a quick bite at Uno Chicagos, meeting up with Jon Hardy.  Then, at the request of Lori, we need to buy a Mickey Balloon from the local Fry's at 11:55pm.  Two guys, walking with a Mickey Balloon.  Nothing better on a Friday Night.   GO TOROS.

Many of "The Girls" or should I say "The Ladies?"

Suns First Row!!!!!

In Case you didn't know, I am a Suns Fan!!!  On Thurs, 2/10/11, My dad and I used some Upgrade Vouchers that we got from the Suns to get some real nice seats.  My dad got to the arena at 4:30, for a 7pm game, but the Suns had just one Courtside and one Toyota Club Seat, so it was worth the early arrival.  We decided to split it up, and we saw the game as close as you could be.  Starting at the beginning of the game, we just sat next to each other, on the front row, dead center court.  Nobody ever came to kick us out of the seats, so we just sat there the whole game.  With the Courtside and the Toyota Club (First Six Rows in the Center) you get all the Food, Gourmet style, desserts, and drinks you want.  So let's see, I ate 2 stromboli's, Some Meatballs, breadsticks, Pasta Penne, Tri-Tip, Turkey, Scalped Potatoes, Chicken, Hot Dog, Popcorn, Brownie, & 2 Cookies.  I was so full, I didn't eat until dinner the next day.  I also got to go under the tunnel.  Gave Steve Nash a high five and said Happy Birthday!  He needed it because only J-Dub gave him any presents, so he felt lonely. See the pics below for our view of the game.

ASU Games, etc.

Hey Guys,

A week or so ago, Zack and I went down to the ASU vs. UCLA Basketball Game.  We had a blast, even though ASU lost in Overtime.  They Fought hard and made an amazing comeback just to get that close.  Zack also got fairly restless by the end, so he was ready to go.

During the Game, Zack took a ride on a John Deere Cart outside.  Also, there was a guy who brought Mickey Mouse Gloves.  He was dancing, shaking his head, and moving his hands like he was leading some kind of crazy choir or something.  It actually was very entertaining and he got his picture on the jumbo tron a few times.  I took a few pictures, which give you only a small glimpse.
