First Family Ranger Game!

Why was our little Haddie Girl

making THIS poster?!?

And since when does she HEART
someone other than her Daddy???

When we are heading to our

first Texas Ranger Baseball game

as a family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 27th was the date!

We were RANGER READY............

All the way down to our Ranger flip flops

and precious little red & blue toes!

But was the Texas Ranger Ball Park

ready for the STORM!!??!?!?!?!?!

We have come to realize that a

Ranger game is one place that makes

ALL five in the Pierce Party

extremely happy & excited!!!

Driving up........

I love the great state of Texas so much!!!

Glancing over at Six Flags and of course

we all spotted the Superman ride!!!

Our very own Superman is

never, ever far from our mind:)

Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!  TOO cute......

Daddy & His Boys...

But this one?

Absolutely Priceless...........

We arrived at the ball park extra

early so we could really check things

out.  Troy & Walker went to a Ranger

game last year.  I had not been to one

in several years!!!  In fact, it was

when we were first married that Troy

had taken me to a Ranger game.

Come to find out, this particular

night was autograph night

and one of the players signing just

happened to be Joe Nathan,

their closing pitcher...

The line was way too long,

but I snapped this one of Walker near him;)

The Ball Park is AWESOME!!!

After a few photos, Walker and Troy

decided to go and try to catch a ball

during the opposing team's batting practice.

I kept the H's moving by walking

around some more. 
The autograph sessions were long

over, but out of NOWHERE

Hadlee, Hudson and I come upon

JOE NATHAN again!!!!!!!!!

I was completely befuddled;)

The VERY night before while we

were watching the Rangers on TV,

I had mentioned to Troy how cute

Joe Nathan was.  T-dawg immediately

decided that night that he did NOT

like this guy AT ALL!  ha!

Then for us to run into him!!!!!

It was soooooo funny!:)

Why I didn't just ask him for a

picture is beyond me?!?

At least I got these for my proof;)

The next day we were talking about

the whole thing and Hadlee said,

"He was so nice.  He said hi."  ha ha!

While I was really more into

the whole Joe Nathan sighting,

Hudson (and Hadlee!) were more

into the dollar hot dogs!!!

Hadlee had won us these tickets

at a Midway baseball game.

As we made it waaaaaay up to

our seats, we realized why/how

they were free!  We were HIGH;)

but that was sooooo fine!

Haddie Girl and her new love!

My girl:)))

 

Such a mess wherever we go;)

Sweet girl wasn't real keen on

the nosebleed seats at first;(

What would I do without this kid?!?

Hadlee's sweet friend from dance,

Ella Kate and her family were there, too!

They had won tickets also

and we knew it, but didn't realize

we would be sitting this close:)))

I adore Ella Kate's mom so it

was such a win-win situation!!!

Hudsy must have been confused and

thought we were at an A&M game

where you kiss after every score:)

Because Haddie's man had

just hit a HOMERUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinsler sure has a sweet fan:)

This kid loves it at the ball park!!!

Ella Kate's brother Rhett & Walker

hung out.  I'm convinced if given more

opportunity they would be best buds;)

Precious girls!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephanie took the girls to see Nolan;)

AND whoever in the world this is!!!

We still don't know;)))

I really didn't know if another

Ranger game without Ella Kate

would be in our cards! ha!

 

Dream BIG, Handsome!!!!!!!!!!

Joe Nathan came in as the closer

that very night!!!!!!!!!!!

I happen to think my Walker Texas Ranger

is the best, sweetest & cutest one at the ball park!

Josh Hamilton aka

 "Hambone" at the plate!!!!!!

Hambone walking off after striking out ;(

The end of the game was a nail biter!

But the STORM never let up;)

Although we had to talk to Hudson about

not using his new bat as a weapon;)

My boy & I certainly never gave up!

And the Rangers NEVER gave up!!!

Our very own Baylor boy David

Murphy at bat ..........

Daddy & his girl never gave up!

Walker wanted to catch

a fly ball so bad;(

Joe made it a little interesting at the end...

which T-dawg says "Joe Blows" - as he

calls him - always does;)

But guess what? 

The RANGERS WON!!!

Happily leaving with her

new Ian Kinsler bobble head;)

(Walker with a Michael Young one

and Hudson with a Hamilton one...

except Hudson broke his the

very next morning!  ha!)

Our little Hambone

was sooooo tired..........

Daddy & His Boys...

Such a fun night!!!
