Relay for Life 2012

As many of you know I participated in the Relay for Life about a month ago raising money for cancer research. Of the people on our team I was second highest in raising the most money which I feel very good about. This is one way I feel I can help so for those of you that said you wished you would have gotten a hold of me sooner, no worries! I will be asking again next year. I found it to be such a powerful and rewarding experience that I am now devoted to doing it every year for all of my family and friends who have been touched by cancer.
 Our team all walking together for the first lap
 Our team sign which read Cancer Awareness Warriors
 Our team leader, Katie (in purple) is a survivor and one awesome person
 They had bounce houses for the kids and the boys couldn't 
get enough of them. Grandpa Greg had to hold Bryce back 
while waiting his turn!!
 A lady in Ravenna owns 2 of these breast cancer awareness ambulances
 Phyllis, Cyndy, Greg, Grady, Bryce and myself

 The owner likes people to sign the ambulances in support of
 someone they know who has been touched by cancer. 
My night was dedicated to my mother-in-law
 Luminaries
 I asked two of my friends to walk with me in support!
Thanks Shawna and Korina
Katie, Korina and Myself
Dangerous? Yes! Fun to two little boys? Of Course! If Dangerous is in the mix they are doing it! Just had to share my 'all boy', rambunctious, active little boys at their best coming up with something to do together.





And I know you all are wondering...yes, Bryce did pick out his own clothes for the day!!

Memorial Weekend 2012

Memorial Weekend we spent in Omaha with family at the Coco Keys Hotel & Water Park Resort. The boys had a ton of fun with their cousins from Kansas and Mia Tom's daughter. Below the outside shots are at Tom's house enjoying the sand, the hill, and the gator!

The littles went on a shaded wagon ride!
The sand was the best enterainment of all
The hotel they provided shower caps, Bryce liked wearing
 it all the time, but never in the shower!
Grady accomplished the lilly pads numerous times
Look in the background the place was HUGE there was SO MUCH
 to do! A lazy river, 3 Huge water slides, a baby mini splash park,
splash park with 3 medium water slides, 5 hot tubs, lilly pads,
basketball/Regular pool, a bar and concessions and the list goes on!!!!
~Bryce and Kaelyn~
Kaelyn and Janessa were the best care givers ever on this trip!
I didn't have to go in the water because the boys never left the girls'
sides! Thank You Ade Girls for taking care of our boys on the trip,
we appreciated it So Much!
Glad all of us got to hang out, thanks for a Great Weekend everyone!
