Outlaws 3-0 Start!!!

Shawn's dad, Gary, surprised us by riding up on his motorcycle to come watch Zach's game Sunday afternoon. It was a nice surprise and Zach's team did not disappoint. The Outlaw's have started the summer league season being 3-0 and by run-ruling each team. So glad he got picked up on this team and now we at least know what team he will be on next spring.

We have been trying to enjoy what is left of the summer before school starts and we are running crazy since Zach will be playing 7th grade football this year. He is so ready. Hayden's hand is doing well. We are continuing with some hand therapy which should wrap up in a couple of weeks. I have been fighting a horrible case of strep which then we discovered I also have mono! Crazy I tell ya. Hope to return to work next week. Catch you all later!

Showing off the fielding skills.

He is hitting the best I have ever seen him hit!

The Month of June

It has just been over a month since I have been on here. I almost forgot my password to get on, oops! There has been lots of things going on since I last posted and I have been a loser for not getting it done. Regular season baseball ended and now Zach is getting ready for Summer League with another team. They will be called the Outlaws. Zach is really excited about this team. They should do really well.

The Heights had VBS the last week of June. It was lots of fun. On that Friday, Hayden had surgery on his hand to have a neuroma removed. It is all part of his NF Type 1. He was determined not to miss the last night of VBS so off he went in an arm sling with ice on his hand. He did well. This coming Tuesday he will have his stitches out finally.

It has been blazing hot here. A cozy 100+ for the past week. I guess I shouldn't have been complaining about the cold weather we had in the middle of May. I guess that is all for now. Here are a few pictures from the past month. I will try to be more disciplined about posting here. I really need to stay off Face Book! LOL! Shawn mowing Friday. It was so stinking hot!
Hayden July 4th. It was hot that night too! He is getting tired of me taking his picture so much!


Hayden's hand 4 days post surgery. He ended up with 8 stitches. Ready for those babies to come out!


Our children's minister, Mika, after getting a pie to the face the last night of VBS. Our pastor, Mike, had gotten one just moments earlier. It was really funny.


Hayden at VBS the evening after surgery. He wasn't missing the pie action! If u noticed not many pics of Zach. He has been the social bug this summer. Time for him to slow down for the rest of the summer so he can get ready for school and football! Can't wait!

I Know, Where Have I Been

Well guys sorry I have been away for awhile. With school ending, baseball, getting Zach off to camp, work and having a sickly child for the past week, I just haven't been into getting this done. Now that we have a little break from baseball and Hayden is feeling better, maybe I will do better. Not making any promises, but I will try! Here are a few post from the past couple of weeks. Hopefully, more to come.

Swim Day

June 5th: Took Hayden swimming at Seahorse. He loves going here. It can get a little crowded at times but it is just right for him. I like sitting in the shade with a good book while he has some fun. Waiting patiently in line for his turn on the slide.


Ready to slide down


Off he goes. We spent 3 hours out here that day and he enjoyed every minute of it.


Chillin' In The Backyard

June 2nd: With Zach gone to camp, Shawn and I were able to give Hayden all the attention he wanted. We hung out in the backyard with our dogs on this Saturday night. It was very nice and the mosquitoes hadn't arrived yet. Shawn and Yogi. They have a special bond. Yogi is so sweet.


Raisin is the queen of the backyard. She is the Alpha Dog and she loves to get in our laps and look down at Yogi.



Raisin and Hayden. These two just love to play with each other. They have lots of fun.



Hayden after taking a big drink of some water. He is just the cutest kid!


Off To Youth Camp

June 1st: Even though Zach was going to have to miss a baseball game but we decided that this kid needed some time away and what better place to go than youth camp. Here is Zach in the Whataburger drive-thru before I went to drop him off. He was ready to go. Luggage lining the wall. The scene outside the church as kids arrived. Our youth went to Bonita Park, NM. It was an awesome camp with several students making decisions to accept Christ as their Savior and several others making decisions of going into ministry. Way to go THF Outfitters for being an awesome youth group.
