Walk For Life!


Today our family participated in the annual "Walk For Life" to support pregnancy care centers in our area and to save the lives of unborn babies...a passion dear to my heart!
It was an easy two mile walk through town and then some fun events at the end! We started raising funds this week (and had a fun play-date at our house for our friends to bring change for the WFL!) and raised nearly $60! I was shocked considering we just started trying to fund-raise!
 Instead of the cookies they offered afterwards, we enjoyed raisins, apples, cheese and hard boiled eggs that we brought along! =)
 One of Abbi's dearest friends Ja'Ana worked really hard to raise money and ended up being the kid (in her age group) to raise the most money! She was rewarded with an awesome new bike helmet, an iPod Shuffle and iTunes Gift Card!! We were so proud of her!!! Isn't that awesome!!??!!

 Afterwards they had some face painting for the kids...our kids thought it was really fun and got one on each cheek!



 And as the WFL main tent was held in a park, we - of course - had to play afterwards! =)




When we got home today, Keaton found that his caterpillar (we call them "Micah"...I hope my brother doesn't mind...it's the highest form of a complement from a little boy!) had made a cocoon! It might be a bit hard to see...there are two in their and the second caterpillar is right next to the cocoon.
But he wanted me to take a picture. =)



I hope all you mamas out there have a wonderful day tomorrow! 
Happy Mother's Day! =)
