Texas Ranger Game

Ever since Walker was on the Texas

Rangers Little League team and had

such a FUN time playing,

he has been obsessed with the real Rangers!!!

Walker was SO pumped when Troy

told him that they were going to

a REAL game at the ball park in Arlington!!!!!!!

Of course, we had to go shopping next:)

Walker was #10 on his team and;

therefore, he loves #10 on the Rangers which

happens to be Michael Young.

Young is an awesome player and,

even better, a REALLY great guy!!!

The coach and the team speak

so highly of Young:)

Troy was able to get tickets for

Michael Young night at the ball park.

A YOUNG jersey was a MUST!!!

Walker was determined to be

FAN of the Game.  He was sure

he would get it...I think there were only

like 35, 000 people there that night;)

He wanted me to make a Superman

Travis sign and I came up with the

Walker Texas Ranger one!!!:)

And guess what?

They showed Walker AND Troy

on the jumbotron screen with his signs!!!

Even focused in on the

Walker Texas Ranger one!!!!!!!!

(The one Troy had made fun of!!!)

He told me he forgot to

show this sign!  ha;)

(I told him that's why he didn't

get fan of the game!)

The game was July 25th which just

happened to be the one year anniversary

of Trav's wreck.  I knew I had to be

with Travis that day...just like I was

one year ago.  It turned out so perfect

for the boys to drop me off with

Travis while they went to the game.

Haddie and Huds stayed with my

parents, Aunt Michelle & Logan!

I hated leaving my two littles :(

But of course I knew they would be

fine and have a ball (which they did!).

It was so fun to be with just our #1

that day, too.  Actually quite weird

to tell you the truth!

Walker & Troy were so excited the whole

drive to Dallas.  They were really into

their "guy" thing.  I asked Walker to pass

me some fries after we made a quick stop

at McDonald's.  That stinker picked the

smallest, most burnt ONE to pass to me.

He and Troy thought that was a hoot

and told me that's what I get for

going on a guy's trip;))))))

My two hunks leaving for the game.......

This was batting practice when Troy

and Walker were trying to catch a fly ball...

 AND THEY CAUGHT ONE:))))

A fly ball AND on the jumbotron!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a night!:)

 I thought I had trained Troy to take MORE

pictures...I mean, come on!  But the above two

and the one below were all I got!!!

The Rangers won BIG that night.....

even broke a record for most runs scored

in a game.  (Rangers 20, Twins 6)

I think my boys brought them good luck;)

This was a view from their seats which

they loved.  That's the Ranger dug-out.....

A couple of new shirts, a Michael Young

plaque, a game ball, souvenir cup and

no telling what else;),

they picked me up from Trav's at about 11:30

that night.  Usually Trav is given his night time

meds before then to put him to sleep, but

this night he got to stay up

 so he could see the guys.

That thrilled both of my 

 good lookin' Texas Rangers!

I love the father/son relationship

between Troy and Walker.

I swear they grow closer with each

passing day.  It's really cool! 

I never dreamed I'd have to share

my Walker D like this!!!;)
