On April 13 my dad took me on a date to the Sun's game. I can't think of a better date. (hint hint babe) I have always had a special place in my heart for basketball. For those that know my brothers, they both played basketball all growing up and I attended a lot of their games. Ben and Rob both played at the college level and I always made it a point to be the loudest cheerleader for each. I have watched many a game and have come to love the sport. I LOVE to watch professional games. I have always had a huge crush on David Robinson (San Antonio Spurs), and after he retired I needed a new man to watch on the court. After years of searching, Amare Stoudemire was the clear standout. He was here locally (Phoenix Suns) so I could see him all the time on TV and he was soooooo fun to watch! (and those biceps aren't too hard on the eyes either) So I have had this crush on Amare for a couple of years so you can imagine my disappointment when he had to have eye surgery and would be out for this game and the rest of the season. ( I had secret hopes that he would still be at the game, just not dressed) But no such luck! It had been over 2 years since my last Suns game and I was sad he was not there. But here are a few of the Suns that I did see! (Did I mention that our seats were first row of the not padded seats and right next to the tunnel where the Suns come running out?!) It was awesome! I felt like a little girl waiting for the Beatles to come on stage or something. I kept looking at my dad to see if I was embaressing him, but he took it all in stride. Most of the pictures are blurry because these guys are always in motion and I do not have a killer camera!
Robin Lopez
Steve Kerr, General Manager of the Suns
Leandro Barbosa (one of my faves)
Shaquille O'Neal (He is GIGANTIC in real life!) 
Steve Nash (last game I went to Steve and I made eye contact!)

Hooray! I'm number 1 again on the comments! (hmmm, maybe I need to spend a little less time on the computer...) Looks super fun! I loved sitting with you at ben's games. You really are a great cheerleader. "BEN! BEN! SWEATY 10!" Plus, you would catch everything that was thrown anywhere near our section...EVERY time!
Dang it, Anne! You must have hit publish faster! thats what I get for making my comment so long
I love going to the suns games too. They are action packed! How fun to go with your dad too. I love the picture of Jason and Lucy. You should have got a face shot of Jason. That would have been awesome.
Oh ya, I meant to mention that I've heard (from Darin showing Amare property last year) that he's not the brightest person. Good thing he plays basketball.
Perfect Daddy Daughter date! I bet you love having the break from the kids.
