If there’s one thing Ryan loves, it’s his hometown sports teams :-)   Anybody who knows my hubby knows that he tunes in (or at least Tivo’s) every Suns, Diamondbacks AND Cardinals game that comes across the airwaves.  And he’s no front runner people!  He’s a die-hard loyal fan even when a team is no good – and we all know that the Cardinals have spent A LOT of time being no good over the years.  At the beginning of every (and I literally mean EVERY) football season, he says to me, “This is gonna be the year baby!  The Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl!”  So this year, when his prediction ACTUALLY CAME TRUE, he was pretty psyched to watch the game.  After they beat the Eagles, we went right out to stock up on Cardinals apparel and other various goodies . . .

My favorite game day treat . . . CARDINALS CUPCAKES!  Yum.

Ryan even sent me some new wallpaper for my iPhone . . . Now, I admit that I’m what you’d call a “Fair Weather Fan”, but when somebody’s THAT excited about something, you get on board!

Here’s a shot of the whole silly gang before kick off . . .

It was tough to shoot and pay attention, but I did catch a couple fun game time reaction shots . . .

This one makes me laugh :-)  It was taken sometime during that awesome Larry Fitzgerald touchdown . . . check out Ryan’s face!  He looks so INTENSE – he was probably yelling “GOOOOOOOOO!” when I shot this.

Even though we didn’t walk away the winners, it was an AWESOME game full of fantastic memories.  Don’t worry Cards fans – according to Ryan, we’ll be back again next year.  GO CARDS!!!!
