FuN WeeKEnd!

Clayton and Cody were able to go to one of the Diamondbacks spring training games. They went down to the stadium about an hour before the game started and they were able to get the last tickets of a sold out game. Their seats were awesome! They sat a couple rows back from the dugout. They even sat next to one of the Diamondbacks owners!! The owner was teasing Cody that he is going to be a future Diamondback player - we can only hope!! Cody LOVED it - baseball is his FAVORITE sport of all times. He was able to get autographs from a few players on his ball and glove. He was so excited he made Clayton take him to the hair salon where I was getting my hair done and show me, he was smiling ear to ear.





This is how close their seats were - without using the zoom on the camera!







We went to support Eric in his mini sprint race. All the kids (12 kids) put their names in for co-pilot and none of their drivers ended with a win. Bummer! McKenzie's driver came in 2nd. Lets just say Uncle Eric needs to keep his day job and NEVER think about racing for a living! He was black flagged (caused to many accidents) and was suppose to get out of the race, but he didn't. He went on to cause another accident with the guy that was in first place - let's just say the audience was up in roars! The flagger guy was so mad at him for not getting off the track when he was suppose too. We were embarrassed for him / we just had to laugh. The officials took a time out and came to the decision to let the 1st place guy he caused an accident with go back to his position of being in front. Good try Eric, good thing your doing it just for fun - we love you!

The kids talking to their favorite driver!

Cody's reaction after Uncle Eric causing so many accidents.



The COOL car!


It was loud!







When Matix grows up he wants to be just like Uncle Eric.

Oh, I am so glad that Clayton and Cody were able to catch the game. Looks like so much fun.

I am glad that Eric didn't get hurt. Ouch. Too funny - causes so many accidents.

Smiles,
