PGA in AZ

So this Past Weekend The PGA tour was here in AZ for the
Waste Management Phoenix Open
And Ryan got Tickets from his Work, so Ryan, Me and Gavin went up one of the days they were Practicing. Neither one of us have ever been to a PGA event—and we were both very Surprised by How Big of an production they put on each week!
So there are Different Tickets you can Purchase and the Tickets we had were called the Greenskeeper—anyway we got to go in the Oakley Tent and Get Free Food and Drinks... Which was Very nice!
And I can't tell you enough how much Gavin Loved it! He was in Heaven.
Right before we left I told him "Gavin, were gonna go get Daddy and go to the Golf Course" and as soon as I said that he ran and Got his Golf Club and ball, and he didn't let them go the rest of the day!

Everyone loved Watching Gavin Swing the Club! They would all say—He is Amazing... Maybe he'll be the next Big Golfer— we can only hope, right! Anyway. He thought he was the real deal...and he was getting really mad we wouldn't let him go on the Real Greens!

Ryan was excited to watch some of his favorite Golfer.

The Famous 16th Hole
The Stands go all the way around the entire hole!

The 18th hole

We had a lot of Fun.

So Ryan asked Ava if she wanted to come with us and she told Ryan
"Dad you know I don't like Sports... this is for Gavin, so NO I don't want to go"
It was good she didn't come, she would of been Bored. But not Gavin—he loved every bit of it!

Suns Games

A couple of weeks ago Ryan got Tickets from his Work to go to the
SUNS Game.
It was kinda last minute so instead of finding a Babysitter and getting some friends to come with us, we decided to just go as a family.
And i am really glad we did. The kids loved it—or should i say Gavin loved it. He was in Shock most of the time. He was so calm and just sat and watched the Game. Ava on the other hand was everywhere. Kept asking when we were gonna leave and wanted a treat every 10 minutes.
But all together it was a very fun Family outing!

And yes, he had to Bring his Ball!
There was no way he was going without it!

BCS National Championship Tailgate Party

(That is where they filmed all the Live Broadcasts on ESPN)

A few days before the BCS National Championship Game they had
Tailgate Parties
going on in Scottsdale. Of course Gavin Loved every bit of it! They had a Replica of the Football Field. So yes the whole time we were there he was running drills.
They had a lot going on—Different Restaurants were there, a lot of Games, booths to buy your teams paraphernalia, a BCS Museum, Bars (not really for us), Photo Booths, Bands and ESPN!

We walked over to the Stage where they had Music playing—and of course Gavin and the Girls were Dancing. As soon as any of those kids here music they have to dance. And they are very good Dancers! While they were doing so, a Camera Crew was Filming them and Laughing. It was pretty funny. The kids thought they were pretty Special.
I wonder if they ever aired it on something??

Our Little Photo Shoot!

Gavin just waiting his Turn :)

Inside the Museum...it was pretty cool. They had helmets of every team in division I, the national championship crystal football (trophy), and really cool images of the greatest national championships in history.

(don't the girls look so excited to be in the BCS musem!)

It was fun doing something for the BCS National Championship Game!
Gavin was in Heaven!... still to this day he gets his football and stands by the door. And says
"Um, Bye Bye...Football Game... Real Football Game."
We just wish that Oregon would have won! :(

New Years Eve!

New Years Eve we attended the
Fiesta Day Parade!
It was a little Cold—During Christmas Break we had a Cold Blast come through! It was cold in the 40's. But it was still Fun. The kids loved it... unfortunately Gavin didn't come...So sad cause i know he would have Loved it! But he was not feeling good with an Ear Infection. So we decided not to bring him out in the Cold Blast! He stayed home with Mimi.

Before the Parade Started these guys came by with a Big Cart full of Toys—totally Junk toys, I swear they all came from all-a-dollar and then he charges you like he got it toys-r-us! But the girls didn't care they loved there lame toys!
and lets just say I'm really sick of that annoying Horn. Someone is always blowing it in my house!

The Parade—
It did have a lot of Balloons, a lot of Bands...but not a lot of Floats!

The best part of the Parade was these Ladies!!

Kurt Warner was even there!
Me and Ava really only know him from Dancing with the Stars!
Ava was very excited to see him...I think she was star struck!

That night we all Slept up at the Big House... Gavin was not to sure about sleeping there, he just wanted his Real Bed!
We Celebrated with Steak Tacos, Football, we tried to watch a movie, and hot tubbing!

We had a Great Christmas Break!
We loved having family in town!
And we miss them all!
Here's to a Great 2011!
