Because I need to post....

....and I feel the need to put off cleaning my house, here we go.

I spent a week in AZ with my family.  It was tons of fun.  My kids just love playing with all their AZ cousins.  I will post pictures later. 

As I mentioned earlier I went down there to do Relay for Life.  Thank you to those who donated to our team.  It was such a wonderful experience.  It was fun having many of my family members come at least for a little while.  But, for those that left before 10, that was when the fun really started.  =)  Kent, Susan, Lyndee, Kristen, Mom and I played Imaginiff, which if you have never played its a great fun game, while Katie took her turn walking the track.  I am so impressed by Katie, she walked most of the night.  Good for you!  At 9 pm they did the luminary walk.  Each luminary surrounding the track was in honor of someone fighting cancer, or  a loved one lost to cancer.  It was heart breaking to see how many people this devistating illness has touched.  I hope our small contribution can help find a cure.  That was a very emotional walk, it left most of us in tears.  I sincerely hope more people can be spared the pain of cancer.  In the end My Dad, Mom, Kristen, Elijah, Chloe, Katie, and I stayed until the end.  We got a final lap picture, which I will post when I get a copy from my Mom.  It was exhausting but wonderful.  If anyone has an opportunity to participate I highly reccomend it.

We did a bunch of other fun stuff, a trip to the zoo, big family party, which I will post about later, when I get pics.
