no. 250 AT LAST!!

last night at 7:30pm the phone rang.
doodle bug had been getting the bulk of calls, so we made her answer it-
she was very business-like and took the phone to pres.

we thought it was a girl...

we thought wrong!
instead it was
the varsity football coach

the varsity football coach
WHO
after watching preston's amazing game
MOVED
HIM
UP!!!

after walking away from football at age 12
and
walking onto the jv team 2 weeks after practice started
and
breaking his thumb
and
missing the first game b/c of the broken thumb

our son-with his sweet tender heart
played like an
ANIMAL
and won his place on the varsity team!
we couldn't be more proud of him-
his grades are fantastic,
his athletic ability is maturing,
he is surviving the move of his best friend-

he is making the most of this life!
better still-on friday night, we get to go to ENGLAND to watch him play!!
love that boy!

umarmen und lieben

oooo before i forget-
aunt julie, you know your nephew!
marching to a different beat with those cleats, BUT, it does make him easier to find on the field...i can't lie!

YAY!
How awesome is THAT!?
even more awesome that you are going to england to watch him play.
not everyday can one say that.

BIG congratulations to Preston.
LOVE and high-fives from AR.

ps. I think Colten and Preston share that love of having their cleats to stand out ;)
Maybe it's so when they kick serious butt peeps can just say "that kid...the one with the green (or silver) cleats was rad"...no name necessary.
MISS YOU.
still.

Holy crap...Pres must of kicked some serious butt. That is AWESOME! Congrats, Pres, we are very proud of you and always knew you would kick butt in whatever you put your mind too...green cleats and all. I know your Uncle will be proud. I was showing him your pics last night as he sat there with a big grin on his face. Keep up the good work in school and out of school. I sure wished I was going to England to watch you play...sounds exciting!

XOXO,
