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!

Relay for Life

My father is currently a 10+ year survivor of cancer, and my mother-in-law, Cindy, is currently an 8+ year survivor! Our children adore both their Papaw, and their Mimi, and our lives would not be the same without them!

This year at the Relay for Life, my Dad will be walking the Survivor Lap with some of our other dear friends here in Kerrville. Our Relay Team, the H.E.B. CancerNators is trying to reach our goal of $5000 before the relay on April 29. My personal goal is to raise at least $300. I really want to help make sure that nobody else is touched by this horrible disease. But, for those that are, I want to help make sure that they too get to walk the Survivor Lap! Help us to create a world with a lot more birthdays, and a lot less cancer. Please, if you are able, contribute to my personal page and help us reach our goals! 

Miniature Golf in Fredricksburg

Amber & I took the kids to play miniature golf in Fredricksburg today. For those like Kaycee that actually want to play, it was great because it was not a difficult course. For kids like mine that want to look at the gold fish and throw golf balls, it is great because there are not a lot of people there!

It has been so nice living so close to Kaycee, Hayden, & Owen. We can actually have these fun, unplanned days together!

We stopped at Wal-Mart & I got James a new hat since he finally outgrew his other Mater Hat. Kaycee had to have one too. Mommy was not too thrilled with her selection. haha!

Yes, that is her pretty little finger up her pretty little nose!

Yeah for Good Internet!

Sorry for the lack of pics the past couple of months. We did not have internet access on our computer, and my parents was....somewhat lacking in speed. So, here's what we've been up to....

We moved into our new house last Saturday. The kids the house and the yard, but they really love having all their stuff back! 

Putting Daddy to work with the wagon in our new yard.

Both my children with no pants. She is so happy that she managed to climb up their with Brother without falling before I could catch her to make her get down!
