Ball Kids!!

I entered Randy's name for a chance to be a ball kid at a Phoenix Suns game. I never thought that they'd pick his name, but they did!!! How exciting! And how lucky!!! Not only was he going to be the ball kid, but we also got 4 free tickets! If I had to pay for them, it would have cost $240. The luck didn't stop there... We went to check Randy in and Nick informed us that the other Ball Kid cancelled, so he asked Keith to be Ball Kid #2 with Randy!!!! So both my boys got to go sit on the Suns bench while they were warming up. They got their picture taken with #17 Louis Amundson (I call him "ponytail") and the Gorilla. They were on the Jumbo-tron - of course they weren't acting excited or even happy - I think they had stage fright, but it was still sooooooo cool!!!! They got to watch the first half of the game right from the court (talk about court-side seats) - literally sitting under the Trail Blazers hoop (right next to the sweat sweeper-upper guy - gross), but still cool!! Amare Stoudemire said hi to them while he was standing there waiting for one of the Blazers to take a foul shot. The Gorilla came over and high fived them and messed up Keith's hair. I think they'll have these memories for a long time!! They each got a shirt that says "Phoenix Suns Ball Kid" on it and when they were brought back to our seats, they each had ice cream! It was such a great night! To top it off, the Suns won!!!!! The video isn't great, but you can make them out!

Papa gave each of them money so they could get some souvenirs. They chose the big foam finger and the purple basketball - the sale item of the night. Thanks Papa! Jeff took a ton of pictures and video. Here are some pictures- you should be able to pick out the boys sitting on the floor behind a camera guy (with Nash in the right side of the pic), when they were close to the Suns bench and the other is of them sitting in their spot for the game.
