Bowling

 Hudson just finished his first full year of competitive bowling. After dabbling in league play and competitions last year, he went all in this year. Participating in the junior league at Tigard Bowl and competing in Junior Bowling Tour (JBT), Oregon Junior Classic (OJC), and Superplay Scholarship Tournament Series (SSTS). 

                                            Here is a snippet of his strikes throughout the season

His Bowling Team at Tigard Bowl placed 1st this year

At Superplay he leveled up from Silver to Gold and placed 7th, 5th and 1st throughout the season.

At the JBT he played a sport shot pattern and performed well-shooting a new high score of 232. He made the semi finals, ended 104 overall 

At OJC he dabbled in doubles and singles. His best singles tournament had him ending in the step ladder finals, finishing in second place and qualifying for the Tournament of Champions (TOC).

TOC ended in a big win. Hudson finished the main round in 3rd place which meant he made the cut. He had a first round bye in the stepladder finals. Then proceeded to win the next three matches. He has now earned a banner and a crown that will be displayed at all future OJC tournaments until he graduates High School or chooses to stop competing.

Dad-1 year

1 year ago, (4/29) morning, everyone woke up to the news of Mike Kay's passing. However, the family knew the truth; 11:11 pm 4/28 will forever be etched in our hearts.

Dad,

How has it already been 365 days?! I've needed you more than you can imagine over the past year. It has been the hardest year of my life, with attacks from every angle. Thankfully, your strength, determination, drive, stubbornness, fierce loyalty and love all made its way to me and I've had that to lean on.

What I wouldn't give for one more hug, bitch session, cribbage game, project or kick ass motivational speech. I'm trying to apply all the lessons you taught me; to tell the truth, hold firm to my beliefs, keep my cards and friends close yet my enemies closer, lean on God, uphold the family name and never give up...Kay's don't quit!

You left a legacy of love and a huge hole down here. I hope you're looking down and proud of where we're all at.

Spent some time reflecting over the year with you in the Rose Garden tonight

Enjoyed a shot in honor of you

Always down for a good time

Lincoln Park Zoo

We spent the day at the Lincoln Park Zoo with Daniel during Liberty. We saw a lot of animals and had a great time.
