Great Strides Walk ~ Part 2~ Sioux Falls

Since we live in Sioux Falls and it is the biggest city in our state, we obviously had a bigger crowd at the SF walk and more teammates for Team Reese. The Sioux Falls walk raised $125,000!!! I don't have the final official numbers from Team Reese yet, but I can tell you that IT IS INCREDIBLE!!!! God is so good...and to Him alone be the glory. We are so loved and we do not take that for granted! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Team Reese...what an amazing crew! I tried to count and I think there were about 50 people there on our team!!!

Walk total...$125,000 closer to a CURE!

Our "Red for Conner" sign...a sweet little boy, Conner, earned his angel wings on 6-25-10 at just 7 years old. His favorite color was red so many teams nationwide showed their support to him and his family by taking a picture with their red. Breathe easy sweet boy.

Great Strides Walk ~ Part 1~ Rapid City

Go figure, I'm very behind on blogging. Here are some pictures from our Great Strides Walk in Rapid City. We were lucky enough to participate in both the Rapid City walk and the Sioux Falls walk. The Rapid City walk raised $58,000!!! We had a team of 14 there and we had a blast! Thank you for coming out to support us!!!!

Reese's 12 month picture...now I just can't wait to scrap all of them :)

Storytime

We are trying to take advantage of the many fun summer activites our community has to offer. Storytime at the library is one of them :) Love storytime and from the looks of it, Reese and her buddies Ruthie and Nolan did too! These pictures are during the "playtime" portion of storytime. All around good times!

Vintage Petoske

This little shirt is Kevin's when he was just a little guy...well we thought it was Kevin's anyway. Kevin is a twin and while we were looking through some old pictures, we discovered that Kevin actually got the blue version of this shirt and the red shirt is his brother Kory's. Ooops...oh well. Reese still looks pretty darn cute in this old vintage shirt...and I'm sure Alexis will look darling in the blue one :) Oh, and doesn't she look good with a basketball in her hands?!?

Stinky Sock :)

Recently when my mom was visiting, she was playing this game with Reese and holding Reese's sock up to her face saying, "Pewwwwy, stinky sock," and for some reason Reese thought this was hilarious! These pictures just make me happy. I love hearing her laugh!

1st Birthday Pix...finally!!!!

Here are some pix from Reese's 1st birthday party! I am so lucky that I had 2 great friends taking pictures for me so I didn't have to worry about getting the perfect shots :) There are more, but here's just a sneak peek! Enjoy!
