The Showcase

Two of my favorite boys are celebrating birthdays this week and our favorite thing to do seems to be going to sporting events so that is exactly what we did! It worked out perfectly that the American Airlines Center was hosting a little doubleheader featuring Texas A&M vs. Arkansas and Baylor vs. Gonzaga.


When all was said and done, A&M took care of business in an intense overtime game and Baylor didn't! I believe I was the only one disappointed in that outcome!


We had pretty decent seats and watched the entire first game from there. However, I still stand by my March 2010 statement that if there is a half-empty stadium/arena there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to move to a better, unoccupied seat. So, in between games we "upgraded" our seats to 10 rows behind the Gonzaga bench. Much better!



We upgraded our seats again with just a few minutes left to play which made a little picture from the floor easy to get...


When I looked at this picture the thing that stuck out the most was how tall these boys have gotten!! Check out this picture from our first Baylor/Aggie experience almost four years ago...


They're still wearing the Aggie gear (my attempts to convert Alex have totally failed) and they have both passed me up in the height department! Despite Baylor losing and realizing that I'm the short one, it was still a really fun day!

Happy Birthday Alex and Reagan!!
