Didn't we already do this?

Yes!  Going to the Diamondback's game as a family went so well the first time we decided to do it again!  We had a super good time. I tried getting a family picture... this one would have been perfect if Connor had looked at the camera.
 After this one I gave up...
 Daddy and his boys. Crazy to think that it was back in 1998 when Daryle and I sat in these same exact seats for the first time.  At the time Travis Lee was the big star of the team. I remember Daryle and I sitting here talking about names of our "future children". He said, what do you think of the name Travis if we ever had a boy? I said, you know, I like that name.  It wasn't until 2004 until we got to officially use the name. Now here we are, all sitting in the same seats as a family of 4.   That's nuts.
 Mommy and Travis.
 Mommy and Connor.  (Yes, even Connor was named after a dback player too.... Conor Jackson... I know. We are kinda sick about these things. Actually, it was the only way I could get my husband to agree with me on names!  LOL)
 At one point I glanced over and saw this.  Travis is holding Connor's leg on top of his.  They actually were comfy and getting along quite well.  Very nice.

 How many three year olds do you know who cheer for the game and actually look and act as if they are actually understanding what is going on?

 We left our seats and roamed around the stadium doing "kid stuff".  Connor had to see Baxter. Travis had to do the batting cages. Then, around the seventh inning we headed back to our seats. It didn't take long until I looked over and saw Connor completely passed out on Daryle's shoulder. He was worn out.  This hardly ever happens. Daryle was on cloud 9.  Watching his team, winning, in his seats, with Connor sleeping on him. 
Connor looks like his hands are folded.... "Please let the  Diamondback's win!"
 I think this is one of my new favorites of the boys.  I love to watch Travis be such a good big brother to Connor. When we are at home I wonder.  I must say that when we are out in public it is so nice to see him be the protector and teacher.  It is nice to watch Travis take him under his wing.
Tonight Daryle and Travis are at his first basketball practice. Yes, Daryle is coaching. I think he is addicted.

Connor still loves his preschool. Tonight he had his first "homework".  We all had to trace our feet and cut them out. 

As for me, I am tired. I think I will go to bed early.  Good night!

What a fun family outing. I love seeing siblings take on the older, protective sibling role. I still remember how Ryan and I would fight like crazy at home, but in public, he always took care of me. Even when I grew up and started dating. :)
