Tuesday night I worked all afternoon (and most of the night) on the survivor dinner for Relay For Life. It was alot of work but a huge success! We had over 200 people to attend the ceremony and almost ran out of places to seat people. It is a night we recognize cancer survivors. We have guest speakers and give away lots of door prizes. ( And a wonderful meal is provided - this year compliments of Outback Steak house.) Alot of preparation goes into this event but it is well worth it.

Tonight I took Carson to church - they had an Easter party and he had a great time.

This week-end we plan to have our rescheduled yard sale for Relay For Life. Yard sales are so much work but hopefully it will end up being worth the trouble and we will make more money for Relay.

Having lost my mom to cancer when I was only twenty three years old I am passionate about American Cancer Society and hope their is a cure one day for cancer. I hope my grandchildren one day can tell their kids- what cancer USE to be. I hate that my children did not have their grandmother around when they were growing up. Some grandparents don't take the time (or care) to be close to their grandchildren -while others don't have the opportunity. I hope my children live to see their grandchildren and do not have that robbed from them due to cancer.

As for grandchildren.... here is the latest pictures of Miss Halle Grace.... of course - I love these.. ....
The tights are alittle big - but precious!!!!
