Please Ally, make yourself comfortable......

Our new Home away from Home!

Craig and I recently surprised the kids with a new toy, a travel trailer!  We have had a tent trailer for a couple of years now and love going on little weekend trips to camp!  With the kids growing like weeds, we needed something bigger or Craig and I were going to have to 'tent' it.  Now if we can just find a weekend that we don't have some sort of activity already planned......

Relay for Life 2011

As you know, my friends and I participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.  It was about 4 months of planning, fundraising, crying and laughing, but all worth it.  Together we were able to raise over $14,000.00.

 Just one of the many reasons I wanted to do this. 

My grandma is a survivor!

Orange belt - check!

 Just waiting to put that new belt on!

 Griffens instructor, Mr. Wong, doing the honors!

 So proud!

Let's Play Ball!

 A little bit of pizza before their first game!

 She DOESN'T mess around out there.

 Such a stud :)

 Craig giving Avary some pointers.

 SAFE! 

 Although, everyone is safe.  There are no outs ;)

Griffen and Avary are on their first t-ball team this year, The Auburn Tigers!  It is awesome!  Both teams get to bat twice and then the game is over!  The score is always 18-18 and everyone has fun!  They "lub" it!

First sleep over for Avary

Avary had her first sleep over at her little friend, Caitlins house.  She was SO excited that I wasn't going to be sleeping there also.   She did great!  No calls during the middle of the night. 

Packed, super excited and ready to go!

Caitlin and Avary :)

"Let me play you a little song."

Crawling for a cause!

Me & some of my Loveliest Friends!

Andrea, Craigs sister, was awesome enough to come out and support our Relay for Life Pub Crawl!  It was a HUGE success, and one that would not have been possible if not for everyones support!  It was a horrible, windy, rainy day and we still had over 80 people show up.  All together, the crawl raised over $4,000.00!

Yellow belt promotion for Jackson!

Who needs A.D.T. (alarm company) when you have J.J.Y.? 

Jackson has officially earned his yellow belt!  We are super proud of the time and energy he has put into getting one step closer to black belt!

 Doing the switch from white to yellow.

 Wiping his sweat on his hard earned yellow!  ;)
