Texas Rangers 2011

What a year for the Rangers!  Even better than the last.  I know I have already posted Ranger picks but as I type this, the season has ended.  Such a great and memorable season that I will never forget.

Jack sporting his Ranger gear the night of the Tampa Bay Rays game.  

He found the cd boombox and enjoyed messing with the buttons.

This was an off day for the Rangers, but they had won the night before.  So this was Jack's outfit for church. Here he is "running" and playing outside.  His red shirt has a baseball and two bats in the top left corner.

Cute backwards hat.

Why is this in the Rangers 2011 blog you ask?  Well, while daddy was off at the game and winning, Jack was up around 11pm sick with his first stomach virus.  This was also the night of the Taylor Swift concert.  Why does this matter?  Because at midnight, after Jack had gotten sick twice already, Ben was stuck in traffic after the Ranger game because the Taylor Swift concert being held next door was letting out as well.  Needless to say, by the time Ben got home from the game around 1:30am, Jack had finally quit throwing up and had gone back to sleep.

THE RANGERS CLINCH THE ALCS AND ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!

Jack just before bed, taking a picture to send Daddy who was at the game.  Sleepy baby!

Ben took these photos- after the Rangers won the game...love these boys!

Game 6, so hopeful!  This game was a heart attack waiting to happen.  I could feel my heart beating through my chest.  I knew I couldn't take another game like that.

Game 7, picture to send to Ben...honestly by now I knew we couldn't pull it off, just because I knew our pitching situation.  If we couldn't win by now, there was no way we could win this night.  But as I said over and over (at least on facebook) I was so proud of those boys and thankful for a great season.  So looking forward to the next.
