Houston Rodeo
Well, it is Rodeo time again. We made our annual trip to the Houston Rodeo! PaPa, Ron, Tracy & Sheldon once again had a great time. The weather was beautiful. We enjoyed our usual events: lemonice slush (we look forward to this each year), bull riding for Sheldon (be sure to watch the video below), carnival rides (just a few -- check out the video below), riding the trolley around, Sheldon & PaPa fighting over which is better... Ford or Dodge??? These boys are so funny each year... watching them and listening to them argue about it. They should be on a commercial! We ended the evening with an amazing Rodeo. Finally, after so many years of attending the Rodeo, one of the bull riders made it to 8 seconds. This shows you how big these bulls are... this is the first cowboy that we have seen make it. We yelled and cheered for him. Then, last but not least... the concert. This year we got see along with 72, 000 other people......
Rascal Flatts
They were just as great as I thought they would be! We had a wonderful time. Thanks Dad for making these memories happen each year. We will all cherish this time together! Grandma... we missed you... hope you can come next year!!!! Enjoy the photo's.

Baseball
Well, the baseball season for 2008 is underway. Sheldon played in a tournament this past weekend. Don't let these bright, sunny photo's fool you... it was not warm!!! Actually, it was just the opposite. His team played three games and we froze for all three. Early March is not the best time for playing baseball! Note to self... no early baseball next year! LOL! Enjoy the photo's. We will keep you all posted as the season continues.

Biggio's Last Game -- We were there!
Baseball, baseball, baseball... if you know us at all, you know how much we love the game of baseball. Last week we attended the last home game for the Houston Astro's. They played the Atlanta Braves and of course they won. This was the last game for our favorite player, Craig Biggio! He retired from the team after playing for them for 20 seasons. He is a great guy and we have truly enjoyed watching him play. Next year, it will be very different watching the Astro's without Craig Biggio. It was incredible experience. It was a sell out crowd with no standing room left. The game set an all time record for the park. Our seats were unbelieveable. We sat on row 9 up from 3rd base line. We bought these tickets about 6 months ago. We learned that we could make some serious money by selling them on E-Bay, but we chose to keep them and let Sheldon enjoy this historic night. My dad and my neice Shiloh came to the game with us. We had a great time. Please enjoy the photo's.

Little Ranger of the Day
This past Saturday, Sheldon was the honorary little Texas Ranger of the day at the ballpark in Arlington! It was an amazing day in our lives. We want to say a very special thank you to Jeff & Jill for making this possible. You have touched Sheldon's life with this once in a life opportunity! Thank you so much!
Mom, Dad, Grandma, PaPa and the little Texas Ranger, Sheldon, started off the evening with arriving at the stadium early. We used our season parking pass that we were given and I am not kidding when I say, we parked as close as you could. All we had to do was walk across the street and we were at the first base entrance! We then meet a young man named Justin. He was Sheldon's tour guide. He first gave Sheldon a bag full of goodies: he received a ball autographed by the entire team, a Rangers t-shirt, a Rangers button that plays music, Rangers Yearbook, baseball cards, Rangers wall pennant and a new Rangers cap! Then, Justin & Sheldon took off for their tour of the clubhouse. No one was allowed to go except Sheldon! They went under the stands and toured the following areas: Rangers Bullpen, Manager's office, Press Room, Weight Room, Training Room, Uniform room, Equipment room that houses all the bats and batting helmets, they went into the kitchen. Sheldon said they have all kinds of food ready, some healthy and some not so healthy. Then, they went into the locker room. The entire team was in there getting ready and waiting for batting practice. Sheldon said one player was spinning in the nice black leather chair that they each had by their locker. Then, Sheldon went through the dugout and out onto the field. He got to watch the batting practice from the dugout area. His favorite Rangers player is Sammy Sosa. Sammy warmed up by Sheldon the entire time. Sheldon loved watching him bat and was amazed at how hard he hit the ball. Many of the players stopped and briefly talked to Sheldon and a few shared their autographs. He did get to meet Sammy Sosa down in the dugout and Sosa signed a ball for Sheldon and shook his hand. This truly made Sheldon's night!!!!! He also got to meet Jerrod Saltalamacchia. He plays catcher and first. He stopped and talked to Sheldon for a few minutes. He also shook Sheldon's hand and patted him on the shoulder. He autographed Sheldon's new cap. Now, Sheldon has two baseball caps signed by MLB players, Saltalamacchia and Jeff Kunkel. He also got to meet another player, but we are not sure who he was. He did not have his jersey on and we did not recognize him. He briefly met Cruz. He is extremely buff !!!!! The Rangers gave us five tickets that were on row seven. They were great seats!!!!! During the game they put Sheldon's name up on the screen! And to top off an awesome evening, Mercy Me was in concert before the game. The night turned off to be nice and cool. God made everything so nice!!! This truly is a night that we will never forget. What a great opportunity for Sheldon. Please enjoy the pictures that are below and when you see Sheldon, ask him about this. He would love to talk to you about it. Those of you that are out of town, give him a call!!!! Once again, a very special thanks to Jeff & Jill -- we had a blast!!!!!!!!!
