Relay For Life

Uncle Trent and Aunt Tanya put together a Relay For Life team for our family. The theme was "Seasons of Hope"... our team name was Paprika Dash (Trents creative thinking).  We traveled to Gunnison on Friday after work to party and relay. Trent and Tanya had our campsite all set up on the football field. First up was Mr. Relay where each team had a male member dress up like a woman and collect money from the crowd. Our team had two awesome men step up to the plate. McKay and Jace were the greatest sports! Next was the Survivor walk. Grandpa and Uncle Corey joined all of the other survivors for a lap as we cheered them on. After that we attended an auction where Aunt Tanya auctioned off two blankets she had made and earned $150.00 for The American Cancer Society! Awesome! We visited everyones booths and got some yummy food and even came home with a new pet fish that Jace insisted he needed! (I guess after dressing up like a woman for an hour it was the least we could do). After an extremely long work week my awake level was maxed out at about 1am so we traveled home instead of sticking it out until 6am. Probably a good thing too because I could hardly keep my eyes open the whole way home. Trent and Tanya worked so hard to make the event successful! It was awesome and I can't wait to do it again next year!
They sure do make beautiful little girls!

These gorgeous babes raised 36 dollars for the American Cancer Society!

They came up with this look on their own. They had all the spectators cracking up.McKay told one lady if she wanted to keep taking his photo she needed to give him 5 bucks...so she handed him a 10! haha
