Can it really be that you are 17 years old. It seems just yesterday that you were such a cute little fellow. Now you are a handsome young man.
Some of our favorite stories about you include these:
When your dad was coaching basketball in Tulsa and the only thing you had known since birth was sitting in a gym, at 2 and something years old, you said during the first game of the new season, "Weah gonna wose!" I never will forget how you looked when you said it. You were snuggled in to your Uncle Chris' chest, leaning your head up against him, just about to cry. The game had barely started but for some reason you inherited that overwhelming optimistic spirit--from your Mimi I think!
