Baby Jacob is Born!!

Friday, April 15, 2011, Charles Jacob Tedder was born! He weighed 8 lb, 10 oz, and Mommy and baby are both doing great! Just wanted to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to Jimmy, Tori, and Audrey on the birth of their new son/brother! We are so excited for them and cannot wait to meet the little guy! Pictures to come soon! He looks just like his big sister Audrey and is so precious!!

Luminarias

I am so excited about our upcoming Relay for Life at the end of the month! We are working hard to raise money for the American Cancer Society! With our rummage sale this past Saturday, we passed our goal of $5000, so we decided to raise our goal up to $7500 before the end of the month! We have a car wash scheduled for this Sunday, and now a bake sale for the following weekend! The theme this year is to 'Paint the Town Purple' in the hopes that all businesses and store fronts will be decorated purple the day of the Relay.

There are two things that I am REALLY looking forward to at Relay. #1 is that my Dad is going to walk the survivor lap this year...it has been 10 years now since his surgery! #2 is that I cannot wait to see all the thousands of luminarias lit up around the track in honor & rememberance of those we love that have fought the cancer battle. My Aunt Mindy purchased a luminaria for my Dad, and I purchased a luminaria for both Cindy & Papaw James Hayes (both from JJ's family). As the day draws closer we are making more and more plans that I am excited about (Mindy is also making purple capes for our team members!!!), but these two things....they are gonna make my night for sure!!!


If you would like to buy a luminaria for someone you know that has fought the cancer battle, they are only $5, and the cost goes straight to our team totals for the amount we have raised. Please visit my personal page here and click on 'luminaria'. It is such a small gift, that will mean so much to those in your life and it is for such a great cause. Please help us to create a world with a lot less cancer, and a lot more birthdays! I truly appreciate it!
