Nac Rangers

Nacogdoches Rangers! Here is Sheldon with his city league baseball team. We final get to be the Rangers! We are so excited! Our season is about half over and we are having a blast. The coaches of Sheldon's team are wonderful Christian men. We are so thankful for this. Waiting on the baseball draft can be very stressful and we are very pleased with the coaches that God has given Sheldon. Our team consists of 11 boys. They are a great group of boys. Sheldon has made many new friends. The positions that Sheldon is playing is: pitcher, catcher or short stop. He likes all three of these and is happy to play any of them. As you will notice, Sheldon is getting taller and taller everyday. He just keeps on growing and growing. It will not be long until he is eye level with Mom.
Go Rangers!!!

Jeff Kunkel

Sheldon had the honor of meeting former Texas Ranger baseball player, Jeff Kunkel. We went to his house a few weeks ago. Sheldon was completely overwhelmed by all of the super cool baseball stuff that Jeff had. He was so kind to Sheldon. He showed him many special bats, balls, cards, uniforms, etc. It as very exciting for all of us. Jeff signed a brand new hat that he wore at the opening ceremonies of the Texas Rangers first home game and he gave Sheldon that hat. We will treasure it and save it forever. Sheldon truly loves baseball and getting to meet Jeff has been a huge highlight for him. Thank you Jeff!!!

Science Fair at School

Sheldon and one of his classmates worked together on a Science Project. They did a comparison between Lions & Cheetahs. They both love animals and they really did a great job. I am so proud of both of them.

Photo's our new front yard!!!

Here are photo's our final product. We are so happy with it. It is very clean and crisp. We have planted a variety of plants. We phased them out, so that we will have something in bloom each season. We planted 5 large Azalea's and 4 smaller Azalea's. These plants do so well in East Texas. They are now blooming!!! I can't wait to see what it will look like in about two years when the plants are settled and blooming!!! They have already grown so much from when these photo's were taken. I need to go back outside and take some more!!!

Pictures of the progress

These pictures don't even begin to show how hard we worked. We had to use Ron's truck with a very large chain to pull out all the old prickly bushes. It was a lot of fun. We kinda made a few ruts in the grass, but we can patch that up later. All three of us worked together and it was a great experience for our family. I hope it was a life lesson for Sheldon, lots of hard work, but a great accomplishment at the end. We are all enjoying it so much.

Landscaping in Progress

Landscaping Project

Here are pictures of the front of our house prior to any landscaping. The landscaping was not too bad, but it was obviously it has been there for many years. So, over Spring Break, we gutted everything and started over. We changed the color of the shutters, painted the mailbox post, and put in a new mailbox. It took us a total of five days to complete. After many long, hot days and many sore muscles, we are so proud of the the final outcome. Sheldon was such a great help too!!!

Houston Rodeo Concert

This year at the Houston Rodeo, we saw the country band of 'Sugarland'. They did a great job. Our seats are so awesome. They are on the 50 yard line about 5 rows up. Perfect seats!! The Reliant Stadium seats around 70,000 people!!! So, you can understand why good seats are important!!!
