JDRF

So today was the day!  We did a Walk for cure juvenile onset diabetes.  This hits close to home for us.  My cousin Kari jo was Diagnosed at a very young age,  and as of the last few years, two of my cousin Children have be diagnosed,  Miles and Abrialle. 

Anyway a month or so ago Missy decided to sign her and Ryan up for the walk for the cure,  So we followed suit and signed up.  It was all fun and games till The time came that i actually had to get out there and walk.  Oh well we did it!  Our group was named Abby Milers after the two kiddies who are living with Diabetes. 

So i have not done a run like this but i guess it's a fun thing to wear matching things as a team.   We got there and their was a entire team in green capes and a little guy had a green Mohawk,  Anyway Missy showed up and alas pulled out these Beauty's......

Yikes! Well we all put them on and I've got to say it was pretty easy to pick each of our team members out in the crowed!

This is how Scoutty felt about the whole thing...................

Oh and Missy even came equip with Balloons!

Wowza!  What a good looking guy!

Not as good looking as this guy...................  Yikkes

But best of all...........................

That's right,  I've got my own personal Joe Dirty.  I'm not sure why but everyone else put on the wigs and they looked funny and everyone laughed,  But Brad looked so creepy!  I love my Husband but he will never have a mullet or anything like it,  It just does not suit him!

And here is our whole team!  We had a goal to raise $500 and we exceeded that by a couple hundred!

So the total raised by this particular walk was of $16000.  Pretty good!

I'm glad the kids, Brad and I got to participate,  It was a good moment to get out of ourself and our lives and do something good for a good cause!  So thanks for Inviting us along Miss!!

Walk/Run Club

This is my kid's second year in the Walk/Run Club.  They loved it!  Last year they talked Grandma Sharon into walk/running with them.  This year she had to gracefully bow out due to her Knee operation.  So the kid's try ed to talk me into it,  But with the two little boy's in tow, Not a chance.  So they persevered on there own.

Today was the finally mini Marathon.  They did a excellent job.  Brody stayed at the front of the pack and Paris about the middle.  after there run they got Popsicle and had everyone sign there shirts.

It was a fun time for all.

I forgot to change the setting on my camera when Paris first ran by so i snapped a picture of some random kid's back and was going to pretend one was Paris,  So shhhhhh Don't tell her,  See if she realizes.

Oh i just realized Brody is in this shot!


Brody out the starting gate!


Paris Walked with her friend Mandy, I think they did more visiting then actual running.



Brody was running so fast

That he ran right out of his shoe!
and had to do a bit of back tracking to pick it up again, Hmmm maybe there is some wisdom behind his mother constantly saying "tie your shoes"


Paris trying to run by the Principal


Then she quit and walked again


And a little behind Paris was Cousin Parker, Who ran his little heart out, Especially when he had a audience! What a guy.

Check out the face he's making! He was pushing himself!


And finally the reward............






Another successful year of walk/run.
