Today Mat and I are driving up to Pasadena to see his FAVORITE TEAM (Chelsea) play at the Rose Bowl!
It's hard to believe he's never seen his heros in person, they nearly seem like members of the family!
If you follow me on TWITTER, you saw the posters (#1 #2) we made together in hopes of getting on TV.
Look for us on ESPN2 tonight (8pm Pacific)!
We are sitting in the first row at midfield behind the players' benches.
There may be a few VIP rows in front of us, but we're in the first row of stadium seats.
Before we bravely take on LA traffic (insert dramatic music here),
I thought I'd share some pictures from last week.
I love the look on the oldest daughter's face! I didn't even tell her to put on the "yucky!!" expression.
She did that all on her own.

The family also requested the "sandy feet" picture of everyone's sandy feet lined up on a ledge.
I wanted to do something a little different, so after I took the standard "lineup" shot of the tootsies,
I went off to one side, and used the shallow depth of field to really show those cute little toes on baby brother:
A few minutes before that, dad had baby bro up on his shoulders, and I loved how the light looked,
so I told dad to "FREEZE!" and I got down on my knees in the sand and got this shot:

Well, I'm heading NORTH! Wish me luck (and sanity! I HATE LA traffic!)
