Lori and Vayden flew to Indiana this week. Melissa flew back and accompanied them. Lori had previously scheduled a trip back to visit for a week and has now extended her stay for several weeks so family can help her with Vayden while she recovers from her back surgery. Karl and Lori celebrated their 3rd Anniversary this week. Well actually there wasn’t much celebrating due to being 1,000 miles apart.
Karl’s brother Erik and his two boys Skyler and Kaden flew down from Utah for a boys/professional sports weekend.
Friday September 11 – MLB Baseball
Erik, Skyler, Kaden and Christian started the Diamondback experience by Going to Front Row for lunch while Karl had to go to court for an n hour or so in downtown Phoenix. Front Row is a restaurant inside the Chase Field that overlooks the field. After lunch Karl met up with the boys for a Pre-Game tour which was a great experience. We were all by ourselves on the tour except for one other guy. Part of the tour involved watching the Diamondback’s batting Practice. All three boys got some autographs. Christian got of all people his absolute favorite player, Stephen Drew to sign his glove. Needless to say that glove is not going to be used anymore. Karl wouldn’t let him use it if he wanted to. Skyler and Kaden also got Stephen Drew’s autograph on their hats. The boys got several other autographs, and Skyler got a ball. The boys spent the entire Milwaukee Brewer’s batting practice in the bleachers trying to get their hands on a homerun ball.
Stephen Drew signed here:
It was good to be at the ballpark on September 11th. There were lots of special things going on. The game didn’t go our way as the Brewer’s beat the Diamondbacks 6 to 3. After the game we stayed for a Post-Game Fireworks show.
Saturday September 12 – MLB Baseball
Everyone returned to Chase Field for a rematch with the Brewers. But this time Karl’s best friend Mark and one of his boys, Jorgen also came along. Jorgen is around the same age as Christian and Erik’s boys. Unfortunately the Diamondbacks lost again. This time the score was 9 to 2. Skyler really enjoyed the All-You- Can- Eat section. Kaden almost lost his Stephen Drew baseball hat. Erik had to talk his way back into the Stadium after the game to search for it. Found it though.
Sunday September 13 – NFL Football
Today was the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers for the Cardinals. The game was sold out, although there were some empty seats.
Karl and his brother grew up with a friend who lived around the block named Pat. Pat now lives in the Phoenix area also. Pat and his two boys game to the game with Erik and Karl. It was good to have everyone together again. There were 8 of us all together piled into the Sequoia for the game. It was a tense game. Karl has lost most of his voice. The Cardinals ended up falling to the 49ers 16 to 20. Unfortunately Erik and his boys came into town for 3 losses, 4 if you count Christian’s football game. They still had a good time.
Very Vayden
Little Vayden is cutting teeth and trying to adjust to being away from home and her normal routines. She is also cutting teeth. Apparently Indiana doesn’t seem to agree with Vayden’s health. Poor little girl is also sick. The last time she got sick was also the last time she went to Indiana.
Completely Christian
This week Christian had an early game which required us to get up at 5:30 a.m. This was a little difficult due to being up late with cousins at the Diamondback game and Post-Game Firework show the night before. It was and away in Queen Creek and the directions that were e-mailed made it impossible to find. Karl had to drive all the way back home and get on Map Quest in order to find accurate directions. Christian was late, but made it there just in time for weigh in.

Christian and his Badgers undefeated season came to an end at the hands of the Queen Creek Knights. It was a very close game until one of the Knights slipped a couple tackles and scored a touchdown. The Badgers lost 6 to 0. The coaches got enthralled in a very heated exchange. Apparently the Knights were cheating by not substituting any or their second string players which is required by the rules. Every player must play at least 10 plays in the game.
Really Roxy
Roxy is enjoying all the boys to play with in the house. Everyone is impressed with her seal imitation.
