Baseball Season is in Full Swing!

Baseball season is here again. It is alot of fun to watch the boys play. Each year we see them get better and better...

Jordan is playing for the Act Electric Yankees. He has a great coach who teaches the basics and respect for the game and for your teammates. So far this season we have seen Jordan hit at least two doubles and get several RBIs. One game he was able to hit a 2 RBI double. It was really cool. He has started catching pop flys and making plays at 2nd base. He really enjoys the game and wants to practice alot. He will continue to get better.


Kamron plays for the Cubs (I can't remember their sponsor) and also plays 2nd base. He is also getting lots better. His coach is a great coach. He also teaches the basics, but is very organized and runs great drills. The pickle drill is one that I have never run in practice, but Kamron and the other boys are getting really good at it. Last week Kamron his a 3 RBI triple and then stole home on the very next play. It was really great and I could not have been happier for him. The next time he was up the other teams coach yelled "Big Hitter!!" Jordan was so excited that he said that, I think he was impressed with his big brother.


Peyton is being himself and loving the game. He was standing behind the plate and told Kamron to "Hit it Mammon" He really loves baseball. It is his favorite sport. Last season he would spend time squatting behind the plate, with one hand behind his back and holding a baseball glove, just like the catcher does. This year he is perfecting his pitching wind up. We have some pretty good pictures in a series of his pitching technique. I think that baseball is one of the wonderful things about having boys!!!









Jordan found 4 four-leaf clovers in our yard in one day and I found two on two different days...maybe that is why the boys are playing so well.

Plane Pull...

Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to get the formatting right on this so I could include it with the 5K posting so it gets it's own posting....

David participated in this year's Plane Pull. It is a fund raising event for the Special Olympics. David was able to raise $1200 this year. GO DAVE!! His team did pull the plane, though not in record time. They had a lot of fun though, or at least it seemed like they did. :o)

They boys had a lot of fun, too. There were bouncy houses and slides. Mama Lou let Peyton play as long as he wanted. He only stopped to watch dad pull the plane.

David was in this years tv commercial advertising the Plane Pull. It was shown on Fox here in Raleigh and you see David when she says "flex your muscles" (which I think was funny!) The commercial is video from last year's plane pull. See the video below. Hope you enjoy.

We did a 5K!!!

We did a 5K on April 25 and we actually finished it. We didn't train for it, and Mama Lou didn't know she was doing it until Friday night. The course was a there and back course which meant that after the halfway point you went back the way you came. There was a water station at 1/4 of the way and at halfway (the turn around point) and then you passed the 1/4 mark water station again when you were 3/4 of the way. Mary Lou and I walked the course and pushed the babies in the strollers. We did well and kept a pretty steady pace. David and Jordan ran together. Kamron ran by himself.

Kamron was the first one to finish in our family, 22nd in the race overall, with a time of 24 mins, 12 secs. I couldn't believe he did so well. He passed Mama Lou and me at the 1/4 mark water station. He was 3/4 of the way done and we had gone only 1/4 of the way!! I was really proud of him.

Jordan was the next to finish with a time of 34 mins, 43 secs. (I'm not sure of what place he finished in.) He also did much better than I expected. He finished ahead of David, who was next in the family to finish but he didn't really run the whole thing. He started later than the boys (with me and Mary Lou) and then decided to catch up to Kamron and run with him. He didn't catch Kamron, but he cut across to be with Jordan. So boo on not doing the full race, but yay for being a Great Dad and spending some time with his boy!!!

Mama Lou and I were the last to finish in our family, we were in something like 930th and 931st place, with a time of 56+ minutes. The fact that we finished with out falling out is impressive to me. Of course Mary Lou did well, she probably walks more than 3 miles every day at work. But I was truly shocked that I didn't have to stop and rest several times, not even once. It was amazing to me!! So...

Hooray for the Heath Family for finishing the 5K and without complaining!
