Run for the pink and some stuff since...

Cash and Gabby and the best way to travel with kids!

We had the opportunity to be part of something special this month. The kids and I went up to S.L.C. during Mother's Day weekend. That Saturday we got a team together for the Komen Breast Cancer Run. What a neat experience it was.

Before I get to that that day, when we got to my sister's home we had some time as a family to spend together. It was funny to watch my father try to jump a foot scooter and he ate dirt several times before getting it. We also tried to jump rope as adults and I am sure we looked like idiots. And then my sister went and got their neighbors motor scooter and the kids loved it. Cash didn't want to get off.

Prego Kandiss and the scooter. She is so big! Haha am not pregnant!

The next day we got up really early to get to the race which was at the Gateway. It was really cold that morning but we meet up with most of the team. When the race began, it was nuts. I couldn't believe how many people were there. 20,000 people in pink. I was awe struck. It was one of the coolest things to see. The road was wall to wall people. It was neat to see that cancer affects everyone. It so fun. We did leaps and cartwheels. We all stayed in our group. We saw all kinds of teams. When we were done we got some lunch and went home and crashed. Then for Mother's Day Cash made me flowers from his hands at church and we took my mom to Little America for dinner and then my dad and I went home that day. That evening Ben took Cash fishing and they got another fish!

Cash really likes to fish and spend time with his dad. That Wednesday was my birthday and I didn't do much. Ben and I spent the the day together without the kids. It was way nice since it doesn't happen much.

I have been really busy because we moved my Aunt Shirlene down to live with my grandma and her and I have tried to clean out and organize my grandparents house. So I am there a lot. It has been really hard and sad work. My grandma is dying and it really is not so fun to watch. But I am glad that my children get to be with her. I love her so much.

Victorious Nana!

With a ending I want to tell my mom that I am so very glad I had the opportunity to do the Breast Cancer Run with her. If she had never gotten the cancer I would never seen the most incredible thing and that was to see all those people join together and walk/run for the people they love. It was very special experience for me. I can not put in words what it meant to me. My life the last year has been full of hardships, scary moments and most of all, loss. But to be there and see that not only am I lucky to have a mother who fought and is winning but to see that cancer will be won some day. To see the people represent their loved ones they lost or see the survivors and the ones supporting them. It was a very good moment that I think I needed in my crazy life. I love God and all that he does (good or bad-very hard) I will be ready to go head on. I have the most love and support from my family and that is all I need. I love you all.
