Walk for Juvenile Diabetes...my 2nd Year!

On the last Saturday in September, Mom, Becky, & I joined our friends who have a 5 year-old son with diabetes on a walk to raise awareness & funds for diabetes research! It was my 2nd year and the 1st for Mom & Becky!

I wore my shirt from last year & Becky & Mom got green ones this year!

They say "Team Braden/Dozing Down Diabetes"

All the kids...holding Braden!

Chalk "Team Braden" Names!

Caelyn, Reagan, Carlee, & Kaylee waiting for the walk to start...

Let the walk begin...Reagan & his "girlfriend" Caelyn with Becky, Kaylee, & Mom coming up behind them!

Caelyn & Reagan again! (This might be used for bribery and/or teasing some day! ;-)

Reagan, Braden, & Caelyn taking a quick "photo" break along the way...

It's Been a Good Day @ the Fair...Got My Case of Smilin' Rocks!

This happened over a month ago, but I'm really trying to get caught up here. Have to go to the fair the 2nd week of September! Here are some pics...

There was a new sheriff in town!

We ran into Carmen & her kids. Carlee w/Kaylee and Caelyn w/Reagan going for a ride!

Lisa eating her Izzy bar! Yummy!!

Reagan, me, Lisa, Kaylee, & Mom eating our treats...Reagan & Kaylee weren't allowed to get one! j/k I think they picked out some candy instead! It just wouldn't be right to go to the fair and not get an Izzy Bar!! :-)

Brian & Reagan chillin'...

Reagan & Kaylee had to get their picture taken with their favorite mascot, Boomer!

Riding the roller coaster...

We just knew she'd pick the pink car!

Riding a motorcycle ride....Reagan said it was practice for when he got his real one! (We'll see what Mom & Dad think about that one!!)

My Mama, me, & Beckerina!

All the lovely ladies...Kaylee is hiding her face for some reason! :-)

A good time had by all!! Let's do it again next year!

Recent Going-Ons!

Okay, so I know I have been terrible about keeping my blog updated, so here are some recent going-ons & a promise to do better! :-)

A baseball game...

Becky & I took Reagan & Kaylee bowling one Friday night & then we went back to my house & made ice cream in a bag...fun, fun, fun!!She looked so cute....just sitting there watching the ball roll down the lane!!

He just bowled a good one...he was so happy!!

Reagan & I

What a little stud!

Becky & Kaylee...

...again!! :-)

Being silly!

Most of the ingredients (got the wrong kind of milk but it wasn't bad, but could've been better....next time!!)

Putting them in the bags...

Don't ask! Just being hyper & silly (and super duper tired)!

Looked kinda like mashed potatoes...

A trip to the lovely Lincoln County Fair in Davenport, WA with Brent & Laureen....I'd never been to a small town fair before and boy was it small! :-)

I'm not much of a quilt person but every now & then I see one that I really like and this was one....really neat colors, the picture doesn't really do it justice!!

Tian just chillin', gettin' ready to eat his corn dog!

Lindi scoping out the pigs...she was loving it!

Somebody's breakfast some day...

Not sure what this was about but I didn't ask!

Becky holding Lindi Sunday after lunch so Laureen could eat....she was all tuckered out, what a cutie!

I went to see the kids off to school on their first day, Kaylee for 1st grade and Reagan for 2nd....they're growing up so fast!!

Reagan outside his classroom....

...and Kaylee in hers! She's ready to go!
