My wife’s inspired idea led our fam on a journey through #Chicago, visiting places that honor my father’s legacy: Halas Hall, WP College Prep, the WP Liver Center, & his statue. Celebrating his bday this way keeps his spirit alive in us & the ppl who loved him. 🐻⬇️ #Bears

Capturing moments like this is priceless. 🙏🏽 Just stopped by my dad’s 2nd home. Full recap of our city adventure…coming soon. 🐻⬇️ #Bears #HappyBdaySweetness @walterpayton @paytonson @MadiJordanP

Had an awesome time throwing the football with my kids at the @walterpayton center on his birthday! 🐻⬇️ #Bears @paytonson @MadiJordanP

They dominated the weekend with a perfect 5-0 record, clinching the ship! Incredibly proud of these boys. One more tournament to conquer! ⚾️ @AthletesHQElgin #Baseball 🏆 @paytonson

Happy 13th birthday, @paytonson! Your mom & I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible young man you’re becoming. Your growth over the years has been amazing, and we know you’ve got the greatness inside to achieve phenomenal things. & yup we’ve got a teenager in the house now! 🙏🏽🎂

We started the #newyear w/ hearts full of service at @fmsc_org in Schaumburg! Over 50 kids and their families from our kids’ sports teams joined us to pack 215 boxes—46,440 meals for children in need around the world. Grateful for the chance to give back. #FMSC #ServiceDay

The baseball season is over but these two wanted 1 more run. @paytonson and the bday boy, Izzy. @PlayJPSports all-star weekend..let’s get it! ⚾️

Heck of a week for @Paytonson & his @AthletesHQElgin 12U squad! They went 7-1 at the @RipkenBaseball Experience in Myrtle Beach. My son said his goal was to have fun, play hard, & rake, & he did just that. The @MarucciSports CatX2 was hard at work. Super proud of him & his squad.

I can't tell you how proud l am of my son & his @AthletesHQElgin 12U squad. They started off the @calripkenbb experience 4-0. @paytonson, you've been locked in from the 1st pitch on Monday. You guys still have work to do. Let’s get it! 💪🏾 #MLBAllStarGame

Huge thank you to the @Panthers for inviting me & @paytonson to tour your stadium. You truly are a top-notch organization, & that's all because of the amazing people who work there. S/o to @MooseMuhammad87 for being the best tour guide. A #Bears connection in Charlotte. #NFL
