Relay for Life

Bunco Babes Relay for Life 2009

Last night was our annual Relay for Life here in Marshfield. My awesome group of friends, the Bunco Babes and I have been doing a relay team for the past four years together. Not all of us were there during the pix, there's usually a lot more of us! We always have so much fun and we have raised over $5,000 for the past three years! The theme of relay this year was 80s so we decorated with blow up guitars and had punk hair and had the coolest shirts! This is what it said on the back.
The boys love going to relay because all of the fun things to do. They beat the tar out of each other on the joust which is great fun when you can hit your brother and not get in trouble!

Then they spent some time in the bounce house when this happened.... I guess having two inflatables was a little much on our electrical system! Don't worry the boys came out unscathed!


These are the people that I made sure to walk a lap for:

My Dad who left this world on 10/25/06 after fighting colon cancer and multiple myeloma for four years and my mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer 10/23/07. She is currently cancer free!
I walked a lap for sweet Kennedy who I love to watch grow and develop everyday through the wonderful world of blogging and Facebook!
For precious little Zoey who I have grown to love and pray for daily. Thank you internet!
I also walked a lap for Addy's awesome nurse Rosemary. She is definitely an angel on earth. For some silly reason I do not have a pic of this wonderful person who has blessed our lives. There will be one soon! She won't be back to see Addy until August but I will snatch pix of her then! I walked several laps for many more people but these were the special ones that made me shed a tear as I thought of them and prayed for them during the night.


This is Addy's latest accomplishment! She is now standing without her AFOs at her table! She does wear her AFOs several hours during the day and it's made a huge difference and look how strong she's getting! I've been worried about her lately, she is not maintaining or gaining weight. She is down to 18 lbs 14 oz. She was up to 19lbs 12 oz. in March after her hospialization. Her OT, Delene was here to see her the other day and I needed to change her outfit because her mickey button had leaked. I brought her in to Delene in just her diaper and she's was like "What is going on with her? I should not be able to see all of these bones!" She is going to a new pediatrician on July 1st so I am hoping he may have a better insight on what we can do to chunk her up a little. It's not like I don't have complete control of what goes in!!

This is my "I WANT DOWN NOW!" face, cute huh? She hasn't figured out how to get down on her own yet, but she will!
