JDRF Promise Ball

What a PRICELESS evening! Every year I look forward to the Promise Ball, the JDRF fundraiser. I always try to help where it is needed but THIS year, I got to just walk around a model a $10,000 broach. WOW! It was awesome. I got to wear the gown I won in and then when it was time for the live auction, up I went!

Thank you to everyone who gave, donated, or just came to support the cause. Thanks to Julie Chin,our wonderful Master of Ceremonies. Thank you to my Tori who made me PROUD to be fighting for this foundation!

Judging the Sand Springs Talent Show!

I was honored to be asked to be a 'celebrity' judge at the Sand Springs Talent Show. What? I'm sorry? A CELEBRITY judge? I am not getting the celebrity part....but they thought so and what a blast I had! Some amazing children who worked very hard and it was very hard to just pick one! Good thing I am NOT on American Idol.

From the heart of a child...(I found this and had to share)

My daughter is 6 and has had a challenge dealing with a bullying problem at school. She has been as brave as a lion and very forgiving.

Give Me Your Love

When I look at you, you have a really big smile
But I don't.
You are pretty,
But I'm not.
Some of these people are friends
And that is friendship
But I know that other people are not kind and helpful.
They are bullies and I do not like it.
I have got an empty place in my heart.
I wish they were nice to me.
They have said sorry and are my friends now.
We like each other.

Hannah and her Turkey!

Well, as most of you may know, my husband has a nationwide hunting show on the outdoor channel. He took Hannah hunting for 3 days (yep just Jax and I at home) and guess what?! She killed her first turkey. I am pretty sure Tim was ALMOST as proud then as he was the moment she was born. He said 'it's a dad thing babe' so I guess I will just take his word for it. Great job Hannah!

Happy Easter!

I hope you each had a wonderful, blessed Easter with your family and friends. Please remember and to reminder our kids what the true meaning of the holiday means. Thank you to our Savior for letting us be able to celebrate this day!
