When Brad was a very little boy we knew that he loved sports. We knew from the beginning that he had a special talent. Besides his incredible smile and gentle heart he was a great team player. Always looking out for the other team members weather it was motivational or just keeping them going. As a family we have been traveling for years watching him play all over the mid west. Some seasons in baseball we counted 60-90 games a year he would play. Thats a lot of games and thats just baseball. When the last week of summer would come and he would have one weekend, maybe one weekend before football would start we would hurry to the lake and camp. Then football.. oh my the practices.. every single day 2 hrs after school and then every saturday until Thanksgiving. Three years of championship titles.. a few undefeated.
When he was little we would drive to Montana to play with Grandma for a few weeks each summer or fall. I think this was a Christmas event.. No snow in Dec in Montana.. it was weird. I think on the way their it was the year Princess Diana was killed and we were reading a book while traveling and it came across the radio that she had been killed. It was shocking news. We always had a great time at Grandmas house.
This was the beginning.. notice the left handed swing.. Yes from the very beginning he was a south paw all the way.
This next friday this little boy who is now almost 18 and a Senior at Viewmont High will receive an Academic Athletic Award in his 5A High School. 3.8 GPA Can't tell you how much I learn from him each day. It is truely a joy to be his mother and to follow him. Who knows whats around the corner. We look forward to his last season in baseball at Viewmont High.
