Team Vote Ratcliffe

Brittany and a group of her friends (including Reese) are playing in a co-ed slow pitch softball league this year.  The name of the team is Vote Ratcliffe.  While it may seem like an odd name for a team, they are supporting John Ratcliffe who is running for U.S. Congress in Texas District 4.  Mr. Ratcliffe is currently in a primary runoff with long time incumbent Representative Ralph Hall. Brittany and other Seniors at Heath have been working on John's campaign.  When they pulled the team together, they decided to use the team to support the cause - hence the name "Vote Ratcliffe."

Tonight John Ratcliffe came out to support the team.  Team Vote Ratcliffe won a very close game against the league's defending champions.

The Flat Drew Project

My nephew's 2nd grade class (in Holden, Missouri) is doing a project based on the book "Flat Stanley."  Flat Stanley is a 1964 children's book written by Jeff Brown.  In the book, Stanley gets "flattened" by a bulletin board which falls from the wall. He survives and visits his friends by being mailed around in an envelope.

In this project, Drew's class made "flat" versions of themselves and mailed them to other people.  Our family got one from Drew - his name -"Flat Drew" of course.  We took pictures of Flat Drew when we went different places.

Rockwall-Heath High School Prom 2014

Yesterday was Brittany's Senior Prom.  Brittany and her terrific group of friends took pictures before the dance.  Below are some pictures from the night.

Brittany and Reese were both 1 of the 3 finalists for Prom King and Queen.  Her friends Mason Taylor and Maddie Thomas won.

After the dance the kids went to After Prom at Shenanigans in Rockwall from 1:00 am until 5:30 am.  I dealt blackjack to a number of the kids.  It was a fun time.
