OUR DREW MAKES THE TEAM!

Ya, so our Drew is officially part of an accelerated team in Cedar City! We took him down yesterday, cause the coach wanted to see him practice with his team and see what he could really do! So we loaded up the expedition, Daren, myself, Ty, Tazj, Grandpa Johnny and Grandma Sherrie and headed on down. We had so much fun just being together, enjoying the ball fields and being out in the sun.

Drew did AMAZING! He really showed them his stuff. They practiced for 2 hours on different kinds of skills and fundamentals. He was just having a BALL! He also made some really nice boys on the team that made him feel very welcome. As we were sitting there, one of the parents asked my mom if she was the "MOM or the GRANDMA". That comment right there made her whole trip, I tell ya!! Of course she said she was the Grandma and that she loves ball games and if he made the team, that she will be to everyone of the ball games!
Another part of the day I really enjoyed, is that Ty was able to have some great one-on-one time with his dad and his Grandpa Johnny! Those three just played ball with each other and practiced with Ty those 2 hours. Ty was just so excited, and he is doing so well!
And of course Tazj was just in heaven with his "boots and hat" and running around all over the fields.
When practice was finished, the coach said he would call Daren or email him. Well, we didn't even get out of Cedar City before he had called. "YES, we could really use him" is what the coach told Daren.

YEAH FOR DREW!! He has been really wanting to play baseball year around, and constantly asks us if we had heard from anyone! He really does have a talent in this sport! He will be playing in at least one tournament each month throughout the year. He also will be practicing twice a week in Cedar City! I guess we will make this town a second home!
Great Job DREW!! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see you play ball all year long!!

I just want to tell my parents how much I appreciate all the time they give to my little family. My parents are always so willing do ANYTHING for any of their children or grandchildren. It really means a lot to me and Daren how they are always there to support us and cheer us on. Thanks so much MOM and DAD! You two have been really wonderful examples of how family really should be. I hope one day that Daren & Myself, can be as GREAT Examples as you two have been!

We love you!!
