The Transformation











To my Burton Boyz followers.....




Most of you dont know that when I started this Blog almost 2 years ago...It was basically following Alex and his adventures in learning sports( Payton was just a side issue that seemed to keep popping up) At the time however Alex was totally "out of Control" in school ...I would hear from his teacher weekly on some issue
It was a draining and stressful time to say the least.
Now enters sports ,especially Tomahawk football and 1 year later, 1 year older, a few butt beatings, zero idle time....and little Alex is consistantly on the honor roll and getting rave reviews from his current teacher..."Mrs Tubb or Bath" I cant remember
She writes how proud she is of Alex and how he has matured and grown turning all of his work in on time and even early..a great transformation and testament to the power of sports, teamwork and accountability...and him having No Free time.

"way to go Alex" YOU DA MAN
*jayda u be da woman*

This is awesome. Yes sports can have a transforming affect on us all. Many a kid is "saved" from going down the wrong path.

Alex, congratulations on "getting it together" and staying the course. Mama Anna would be SO proud of you (as we all are!)

Jay, congratulations on being a super grand-dad and brother, as well as staying the course.
