'LiL Rette Celebration!!!

Today AK was honored to be Amber's lil' Rette at the softball game. Amber is very special to our family and AK adores her. She has watched Adlee the past two summers as I taught summer school and has babysat her on other occasions as well. AK enjoys spending time with Amber and her brothers, Kolby and Skylar, and they ALL "SPOIL" her rotten when she's around them.

Today was a cold and BREEZY day, but the weather didn't stop us from supporting Amber and the whole softball team. I had AK a shirt made with Amber's number and she was so excited to wear it. At the ballgame Adlee got introduced and walked on the field with Amber as they announced the team, did the opening ceremonies, and was given a signature ball signed by all the players. What a great treat! BUT...what I was most impressed with was the girls as a team. Before the game, they joined hands with the little ones and prayed. It was an awesome sight to see and what a great example for the little ones to follow. They are setting great examples for not only our sweet AK, but everyone watching the game. All I know is...AK was in heaven and we were very honored and proud to have AK given this great opportunity! With that being said..."GO RETTES GO" and "THANK YOU" for being such great leaders for our school and community!
Here are our favorite pics of the day!!!

Before the Star Spangled Banner, Amber helped Adlee place her hand over her heart. It was a priceless moment. Thank you Amber for being a leader for AK to follow!
