ABC Wednesday - D is for Drew Brees

(click on photos to enlarge)
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!

  5. I 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!

  11. Your 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!

  17. Well 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? :-)

    1. Though now that I think about it, she's probably on your family tree rather than the Brees(e) one.
