Signs, Signs & A Good Fence - Lewisburg WV and Saints

(Click on photos to enlarge)

Lewisburg was cool in 2011. 1 year of coolness? It was a pretty cool little town though. I think it should be cool in 2014 too.

You see these in small towns everywhere

That's kind of a fence right? Fence-ish? This little barricade protects us from the players getting too close to the fans. Or maybe the other way around...Do you see my 3 guys?

My view of the boys from the other side of the field. Nick and I were sitting in the bleachers so I zoomed in to see what they were up to. Texting or something. Always with the phone.

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!

ABC Wednesday - C is for New Orleans Saints Training CAMP

Get some popcorn, this is a long one! Found out over the weekend the Saints training camp is near us at The Greenbrier and it just so happened Nick decided to take an impromptu vacay this week so we loaded up the truck and moved to beverly took a short roadtrip to White Sulpher Springs, WV and watched the Saints practice. The best part, autographs for the boys! Now the boys favorite player is Drew Brees (no offense to the rest of the Saints but they especially like him knowing that they are distant cousins...oh way distant, but that's pretty cool to them!) so anyway they were really hoping to get Drew's autograph but missed him on this day but got quite a few from the other players who might I add, were so nice to all the fans! So put your feet up and here we go, I'll show you some of the players signing the boys stuff. (Braden and Dalton wore their football jerseys and Christian brought a football to have signed)

Can you imagine how fun this was for the boys? They LOVE football and this was so exciting for them to get to actually interact with the players like that! Ashlyn was upset she didn't get to go and so we will make the trek again and stalk try again to get Mr. Brees' autograph ;)
