So remember when I told you we had to return to the Saints training camp so the boys could get Drew Brees's autograph? Welp we went back on Thursday and SCORE! They got it! In the above photo is Braden getting the sought after autograph...
Then Dalton:
That's Ashlyn's yellow phone getting a picture, if you look closely, very, very closely into her phone, you can see Drew! He signed her shirt but for some reason I missed the photo. Bad mom. When Drew signed Dalton's jersey he said "There's a couple of D. Breese's around here"...meaning Drew and Dalton. We told Drew he spells his last name wrong...actually we do. Nick's grandpa is the one who added the E on the end when he was a big time boxer back in the day. Thought it looked better with the E when he was written up in the newspapers. Funny huh?!
Christian had Drew sign his phone case. Now he's stealing a selfie:
Obviously Drew is a popular guy. People yelling questions at him left and right, handing stuff over for him to sign but he answered and signed away always being polite. That's a Brees(e) for ya ;) Honestly though, they were all so gracious!
And here's what the boys' jerseys look like now with all their autographs:
These are their pride and joy!

Good deal!!! Lucky fellows.
ReplyDeletethat's awesome. glad they are good to their (rabid) fans. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your contribution for ABC on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Wil, ABCW Team
I'm glad you got to meet the "famous" Brees. Also glad that he was so gracious! :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! gr8 :-)
ReplyDeleteFamous people are not usually so kind around here...
ReplyDeleteI know NOTHING about football or football players...actually despise the game....but what a NICE man to take the time to sign for all those people and answer questions for them. And how lucky your son must feel! I know one time in JCPenneys, they had the local hockey team to sign autographs and my sons felt like they had just met Batman himself....even though I am sure no one had ever heard of any of them because they were just a local team....so I can only imagine how excited your son must have been! What a great mom you are!
ReplyDeletea very good angle of shot on the first
ReplyDeleteWay cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's updating again, albeit late I think!
I've always heard he was a very nice guy.
ReplyDeleteAnn
How super of him! And the boys have the biggest grins! The shirt looks great, I hope the marker was permanent! Will they wear them or frame them?
ReplyDeletewe are going to have them framed for eternity :)
Deleteoh, i hope the frame them. what a collector item. so fun!! ( :
ReplyDeleteYour ice-cream comment surely was one for the books! I was totally horrified. You were so blessed to be not hurt. the driver must have been going very slow because of the ice-cream truck and kids. A story I will remember for a long long time...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the kids had a ball!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!
ReplyDeletethe QB seems like a good guy!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
What a fun day that must have been. Kudos to all involved.
ReplyDeleteWonderful moments.
ReplyDeleteWay to go!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like their patience paid off, and well done to Drew and the other players for being so approachable and polite!
ReplyDeleteWhat a day for the kids! True Brees!
ReplyDeleteHow freaking awesome is that??? I'm so happy for the kiddos!!! It's funny that you are almost practically kind of -for sure related!
ReplyDeleteWell that had to be exciting! Love Christian's selfie especially, think he's thrilled much? :-) I wonder if Drew knows about Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma Mehitable? :-)
ReplyDeleteThough now that I think about it, she's probably on your family tree rather than the Brees(e) one.
DeleteHa, the Breese trees! :-)
Deletelol yeah, mehitable is my little lady...his is hannah gildersleeve, lol...that's where our breese's collide :D
