AHS Nights

AHS Softball Night
Arlington High School Softball team invited our girls to come to their game and run out with their girls.  Our girls were so excited and had a blast.

Haley, Krista & Kaity
Amy's family happened to be at the same game so Izzie was so excited to see Haley.  She is having a "Haley stage" right now.  She loves to be with Haley and do whatever Haley is doing.
Drandad helps coach the softball team.  He loves softball and has always been one of the best coaches ever!  He is also the best grandaddy anyone could have.
You can tell these two love their drandad!

I taught Kaitlin in 2nd grade.  She is a junior now.  I love watching her play softball and visiting with her mom.  They are such a sweet family.

The big girls put the little girls inside their huddle.  It was sweet.

The announce named each AHS player and named our girls too.  They were so excited to hear their name on the speaker.






 After the game the AHS booster club had printed 8x10 team pictures for our girls and had markers for their girls to sign them.  


Kevin asked Hunter & Griffin to get autographs for the two players that didn't make it.  As you can see they didn't mind at all.


AHS Baseball Night

The next night Hunter's team got to run out with the baseball team.  This was neat because we are the Tigers too.  They are undefeated in the district so far this season.

Nathan goes to church with us.  Hunter and Beau love hanging out with him.  He is a great young man.

Hunter ran out with the catcher

It was neat that Hunter got to stand at the mound because Brady Bramlett(#28) was the pitcher.  Rob & my dad use to play fast pitch softball with Brady's dad before he was born.  Brady is very good and will probably go pro.   While we were watching this game there were scouts there from the Giants watching him.
Hunter is almost taller than the catcher

Both nights were great fun for the kids & adults.  The softball & baseball teams both won which made it even better.  Thank you AHS for making this so much fun for our kids.

Relay for Life & Tiger Baseball

Relay for Life
Saturday night was Arlington's Relay for Life.  This was my first year to wear the purple shirt and walk the survivor lap.  I am so thankful for the hard work that went into planning this event.  Arlington raised over $46,000 for the American Cancer Society.

My sweet momma bought a bag in my honor and one of my students parents decorated it so pretty.  She even put the thyroid cancer ribbon on it.

Adina introduced me to one of her friends that I have talked to on Facebook.  Sherrer & I have both have recently battled and beaten thyroid cancer.  I  enjoyed meeting her in person and look forward to keeping in touch with her.

It was an exhausting but fun weekend.  I thank God everyday for the blessings he has given me.  I could not have made it through the last few months without God.  He taught me about letting go, peace, understanding, and patience.  I thank him daily for this experience and the lessons I have learned.
