March in AZ: Week #2

Week #2: Story
I had part of my family in town for the 2nd week of March! 
We had family swapping out the entire month...
When one group was leaving another was flying in..
The night my mom and stepdad got in town I had to run Billy's cousins to the airport late at night to catch a red eye back to Charlotte...
Well, when I got home around midnight Billy (out of habbit) locked the door when he went to bed and I had left my house key IN THE HOUSE! 
I WAS LOCKED OUT! 
So, I text my good neighbor (fellow baseball players below me) and headed down there to come up with:
MISSION: WAKE UP BILLY
Their bedroom was right below our so my friend Lorie got on the bed and was banging on the ceiling with her hubby's cowboy boots screaming "Wake up Billy!" while I was calling him over and over and we could hear his phone vibrating on the night stand above us...
We this ruckus woke up their roommate who came to see what was going on...
He proceeded to get his duck/goose calls out and starting duck calling through the vents and yelling "WAKE UP BILLY"!! 
FAIL. 
It did however wake up their 3rd roommate and he was walking up and down the hallway yelling at Billy! The boys decided to go outside and throw pebbles at our bedroom window...
No luck again...
It did wake up our neighbors on the top floor and they watched us from their windows! 
Our last idea was to send Michael to shimmy up to our balcony and try the patio door! 
See Below
No Luck! 
So I settled for probably having to sleep on their couch! 
Just when I settled in and was watching a little Forest Gump and about an hour after I found out I was locked out roomate #2 came out of his room and said "I hear movement upstairs!" 
I called Billy and got a "Hey what are you doing?" 
Totally oblivious! 
(Sidenote: this happened twice in Spring Training...)

March in AZ: Week #1

How many times have you heard me gush over AZ! 
I LOVE ARIZONA! 
My favorite 2 months of the year by far! 
It is a very busy time with lots of baseball, family and friends in town! 
SO FUN! 
This will probably be broken up into weeks because I have a lot of things to cover! 

Week #1

The first week of March we spent with Billy's family and some good friends! They all planned to come in together and spend some good times with us in the warm weather! 
This will be most pics...

We got to go visit the Wildlife World Zoo that is right by our complex! 
Pretty fun zoo!

We spent time behind the stadium running around and playing with Daddy! 


 We watched lots of baseball!
