  This year, Beautiful Beckett has taken up softball, proudly sporting jersey #6 as a member of the Lilac Attack team, which consists of 4th graders. Her passion for sports led her to give this new endeavor a shot. Yesterday, I attended both Hudson's Pop Warner football game and Beckett's softball game, going from Lake Travis High to Central Austin to make sure I didn't miss a moment.
