Roadrunner Time.....

Well, I haven't posted much on Jesse lately because he's sent me zero pictures and literally just studies all the time!  He's taking 19 hours with his EE/Computer Engineering major and that's pretty much his life these days....however, right before Covid hit last spring, Jesse was picked to be a MSU Roadrunner.  Apparently at MSU this is a big deal, but he will be one of the faces of the school and help give tours, recruiting stuff, and so on.  Anyway, it's such a big deal that he's receiving college credit and taking a class with just the Roadrunners.  This is their first pic together (Jesse in front) and I should have a solo one soon.  He will give his first solo tour next week I believe, as high school kids rush to make their college visits and decisions this fall!!!  More on Jesse soon!!!

 

Claire is going to State!!!!

 

Well, we are two proud parents today, as Claire's crazy ridiculous work ethic paid off.....Claire played for SBA in Regionals today in horrible conditions at first at Timber Truss in Olive Branch, MS....battled it out all day, and tied for 2nd overall!!! Earning her a trip to the State Tournament to represent SBA!  Claire will play at Willowbrook in Manchester,TN in 2 weeks!  We knew she wanted to make State as a freshman, but knew that was going to be rough....I guess our little bit has something to prove ! 

Claire and team...they didn't make it as a team, but Claire will be proud to rep SBA for them!

Her short game did it for her today!

Coach Hervey and the girls!!!

First Place!

Claire smiling big from her 1st Place finish today at the US Kids Golf Tournament at River Bend Links in Tunica, MS.  We are especially proud because she has never seen this course before, the greens were brutal, and there was water everywhere!  Go Claire Go!!!

Claire Shoots a Commercial......

Well, we were suprised beyond belief about a month ago when we were approached by the LPGA to do a #Drive On PSA/Commercial featuring Claire.  Typically the LPGA only does the #Drive On for the pros. but her essay from earlier this year and the Lydia Ko shoe thing garnered some attention.  Apparantly they loved Claire's story and asked if she could be in one for LPGA Girls' Golf!  Claire said she'd be fine sharing her story, and so today the LPGA Send down a crew of 3 (decreased size due to the pandemic) and they shot the entire thing in one day...voiceover and all.  Claire was not too shy and really had fun with it.  The commercial will air during the month of October on the Golf Channel during LPGA events and we are tickled for Claire.   Can't wait to see how it turned out!  And God blessed us with the most beautiful 73 and sunny degree day today!  

Our local golf course, Quail Ridge, was thrilled to host the LPGA employees and Claire today and we had our run of the course!  They used drones at the end and Claire was tickled about that....we just were sad sweet Jesse couldn't be there for that!

Drone got a little close to my hair at times for my comfort.....

Claire and the sweet crew!  Drive on Claire!!

 

Drive on little bit!

Well, SBA played in an 18 hole invitational today at a difficult Windyke CC in the heat!  Our Claire shot a stellar 79!  50 girls participated, and we still don't know how she fared overall...more to come!  Go little one go!

 

So this is what football games look like now....

Well, The Tiger Season has started, and boy does it look different!  We came with our snarky signs, cheered enough for 10 people, and pulled out a great win!  Go Tigers!
