Drew's 2018 Football Season!

Drew LOVES football!  It's crazy to watch him because he plays like he is much bigger than he is.  Even though he is a smaller boy on the team - he doesn't play like he is.  They won their first game today 13 to 12!  Drew did an awesome job blocking and tackling.  Afterwards, the coach from the other team came up to him and said what a great game Drew played!  We are so proud of him!

Tubing and skiing fun!










































Drew is Surfing the Summer away

Oh my!  Do these pictures show Drew's personality or what?!?!?  I just love him and his spirit!  He is also good at everything he tries...just look at him getting up the first time! 









Nationals!

Conner had an amazing time at Nationals!  I hope that one day he is blessed enough to be able to compete at that level again!  His goal was to finish in the top half and catch at least three fish a day.   He finished 21st out of 56 boats and caught his limit each day!  More than that, BASS put on a first class event - they boys were treated like royalty: sponsors gave away swag, they had motivational speakers talk to the boys, they announced each team and let each boy give their thanks.   Conner was able to attend Nationals, in part, to donations from family and friends.   I am hopeful that the biggest lesson Conner will remember is how good it feels to receive in hope that one day he can give to and support other children.   Each week, he wrote his sponsors a letter telling them how he was preparing for the tournament and how thankful he was.  I am so very proud of Conner.  He is amazing in every since of the word!
