Cardinal/Packer Playoff game in Arizona

I decided to do something crazy for Brian's birthday this year....I flew him all over the country until we ended up in Phoenix for the Cardinal/Packer playoff game! He had no clue where we were going, especially when we ende up flying into Baltimore, Maryland for a connecting flight! What a hoot! It was such an amazing surprise for him. It was great to see him and his dad at the game together...wish we could have brought home a Packer win, but WOW, what a game, huh? At the end of the game, this is what TJ had to say about the game...or what other people would say is "He's digging for CHEESE!" :)

Just a couple days before we left, I got some Brady Poppinga jerserys from the pro shop. Brady was so awesome to sign them just before we left! Extra bonus!

I even got to meet up with Tara and Ashlyn! I can't believe how big "little" Ash has gotten! Oh my goodness! I used to teach her swimming lessons when she was Natalie's age!!! WOW! I told her that next time we get together it might just be for her high school graduation!

Aunt Pamela and Nick were able to come to the game with us too...

Brady's parent's sat in the row right in front of us with Pamela and Nick. You wouldn't meet two nicer people...

SO FUNNY! People just cracked up when they saw TJ all decked out in his Packer gear. They all took out their camera's and started taking photos!

It was a sold out game, so the stands were packed.

Afterwards, we were able to meet up with Brady in the "family zone". It was a bummer knowing that the season was over! :( But he was kind enough to let us sneak in a photo with the fam. Brady is one heck of a guy...just as nice as his parents!
