D-Backs Game and a Funny Homeless Man

A friend and I braved a Diamondbacks game with 7 boys yesterday and we lived to blog about it! The boys had a great time getting autographs before the game and hoping for a foul ball to come their way during the game. They even managed to talk one of the stadium camera guys into putting them up on the screen between innings. The picture is blurry but RJ is the one holding the giant red finger in the front of the picture.

The idea behind taking the boys to the game was to get them out of the house away from the video games that seem to take over summers in our hot climate...that mission failed and we had to drag them away from this to see start of the game!

They are a really great group of boys that has a lot of fun together.

And now to the funny homeless man story. As we were leaving the stadium there was a homeless man sitting with a cardboard sign that read: Ninjas killed my family - I need money for Kung Fu lessons to avenge their deaths. LOL - who knew homeless people could be so funny.

Happy 11th Birthday G-Man!

Happy Birthday to our G-Man. Your dad and I are so proud of the nice young man that you are. You have an amazingly big heart and kind soul. You are seriously competitive (don't know where you got that!) and strive to be the best at all that you do. I love your raspy voice and the fact that you will still hug your mother and even hold my hand in public! May all your dreams come true throughout your life. Today, just for you, some inspirational sports quotes:

Vince Lombardi - It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

Tommy Lasorda - The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.

Dick Vermeil - If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.

Walter Payton - I want to be remembered as the guy who gave his all whenever he was on the field.

Dream big and work hard G-Man and you can do anything. We love you!
