Saturday Snapshots linked up

So I am joining up with my friend for her  Saturday Snapshots...

sorry this is soooo blurry but this pic
sets up the stage for my Bub's life long love of
the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
and Drew Brees #9
this was the night the Saints won the Super Bowl
he is waving a number one
and the shirt he is wearing...
was mine when I was little :)

ok now 

let's flashback 2 Santas ago...

2 years

when my Bub asked Santa 

yep on his knee at bass Pro Shop...

should have seen Santa's face

But he asked Santa for Drew Brees

for Christmas

you see we live in Texas 

and it is Cowboy Nation 

or Houston Texans Country

so I am pretty sure this Santa really had NO CLUE

what my kiddo was asking for

you see

Bub wanted Drew Brees to go to Disney with us...

at the time if you asked Bub what his name was...

he would tell you

Drew Brees #9 Freeman Farley

(that is his name plus Brees plus a number plus my parents last name)

anyways he said this for years

he even learned to write his name like that... 

well needless to say

Santa didn't kidnap Drew Brees 

but he did give Bub a mini Drew Brees doll

and boy did he love it

 and this Drew Brees went with us to Disney

here he is photobombing 

as we drove by the Super Dome

(aka the Saints football dome)

well let me tell you my Bub started boo who-ing because

we didn't stop there to pick up the real Drew Brees 

because he still thought the real Drew Brees was going to Disney with us...

so obviously my kiddo has a huge LOVE for  Drew Brees #9 and so when we heard he was going to be in a small town very close to where we live (thank you aunt Shelley for the heads up) you bet your fluer de lis  we woke up at 3 in the morning to get there... and it was all a BIG SECRET to Bub

Hubs saw an opportunity for Bub to get up close to Drew Brees 

and 

he took it...

my Drew yelled at Drew Brees...

DREW BREES NUMBER NINE

and waved his mini Drew at him...

Drew Brees leaned over and said

Hey there little buddy and tapped him on the head

Bub said...

my name is Drew too

(he is not named after Drew Brees he is named after my Great Gpa Drew... but it worked)

and Drew Brees asked Bub if he wanted his picture taken with him...

AHHHHHH 

before we knew it...

my DREW 

was up on stage with 

DREW BREES

and look so is

MINI DREW

it was magical

it was overwhelming

it was the best day

after Hubs got Bub off the stage they hugged so hard 

and all of us were boo who-ing

it is not everyday where you get to see your kiddo's dreams come true...

and even though he is still not going to Disney with us

that one little moment and this one little pic

are magical memories
