NBA baby!

so...i grew up in a family that was basketball oriented - to say the least. all 4 of us kids played in high school, and we played in the driveway with friends and cousins growing up, and we loved our NBA filled weekends. i remember pushing the record button on our vcr to make sure that we had some quality entertainment for our popcorn sundays, and it was some great family bonding time for all of us hills :) i only ever imagined what a real live game would be like, and lucky for me, i found out last night!

 

 

this was our view way up in the 311 section at the rose garden last night, but it didn't matter how far away we were. dust was like a little kid at a candy shop! he loved every minute of it, and so did i although it was made even sweeter for me to see him in his glory. dust is a sports fanatic, and basketball (namely the NBA) is his favorite. he can tell you anything you want to know about any team or any player, but he's made the trailblazers more of a focus since we have lived here. he'd never been to a live game either, so we were lovin it :)

 

we are suns lovers in our house, so it was super fun to see our steve nash on his game. we were so excited just watching them warm up, and the game was awesome!!!

 

 

these humans who we basketbally fans look at as superheroes sometimes are indeed real people, and shaq's shoes really are that big! it was so fun to watch these 2 teams, and we had lots of fun with our friends - dustin and kinsey and eden smith :)

 

we loved every minute of our 1st NBA experience, and we can't wait for the next game we get to go to! GO TRAILBLAZERS!!! the only not so fun part of the night was leaving our becks at home :( thankfully, our friend nicole offered to babysit, and he was fast asleep looking as cute as ever when we got home! here are a few pics of him lately - just to satisfy the grandparents :)
