SURPRISE!!

Brett was pretty irked last month when I told him he had to figure out a way to get February 15th off of work because I had a surprise planned.  He repeatedly told me that he couldn't take a day off of work just because he wanted too, but he was eventually able to schedule it so he could leave the hospital at noon that day.

Soon after he got home from work there was a knock at the door, and imagine his surprise when he opened it to find 5 of his brothers and brother-in-laws standing at the door!  SURPRISE!!  The Blaser Boys (minus Brett's dad and two brother-in-laws who couldn't make it) flew in from Utah and Texas to surprise Brett for the day!

They hung out at the house just long enough to say hi to Weston and me, and for me to get a pic of the group, and then headed out the door for some quality male bonding.

First stop: Brett's favorite Barro's Pizza for lunch.

Next up: K1 Speed for some high-speed racing (and crashing).  Fortunately no one lost their lunch during their 42 laps of racing!

Next stop: US Airways Center to watch the Phoenix Suns take on the Utah Jazz (the real reason for the trip).

The boys were able to score a sweet suite to enjoy the game and a catered dinner from.  Brett did have to endure a little heckling from the boys for cheering for the Suns instead of the Jazz.  What can I say?!  Once you go Orange, you never go back. :)   [BTW, the Suns won 102-101. :)]

And finally: Back to a downtown Phoenix hotel for an all-brother sleepover.  Fortunately Brett had packed scrubs and went straight to work from the hotel the next morning.

The boys had a great (and somewhat wild) time, and managed to only end up in the back of a cop car once the entire night. ;)

End result:  Even though it was a very quick one-day visit, they all had a blast, and Brett quickly got over having to get time off of work.
