Heart Walk 2012

We had a great morning at the American Heart Association Heart Walk on Saturday.  "Strong Heart Strong Family" raised $1175 total dollars for the AHA!! Wow!  What a great job!

Some highlights included:  ballon animals, free food, easy last minute money drop, AHA t-shirts, 1.7 mile walk, break at the playground, alpaca petting, remembering those we've lost to heart disease, raising lots of money for AHA (for a group who hates raising $), and spending time with family.

I really hope this is an event we can do again next year.  It was nice to support a great cause for a great reason! 

Get out and get walking ladies!! www.heart.org has so many great resources... check it out!

If you go to my Shutterfly page you'll be able to see pictures from the day.

Sunday Night TV

Hey guys, It is Sunday night and I am watching my dvr-ed shows, Army Wives, which mom got me hooked on......and then on TLC at 8:00 is a show called Long Island Medium. I started watching it this fall and even though I cry about every single Sunday and it makes me miss Momma A LOT, it also, in a strange way, comforts me and gives me hope that there is something else out there and that mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and all those we love are around us and at peace. Anyway, if you have never seen it, thought I would give you the heads up and hope that it may bring you a little hope and peace. LOVE !YOU ALL SO MUCH...kimmy

Spring Fun!

Here are some new spring pictures! Grant loves being outside, not sure what we did all winter to keep him inside. Also a few pics of Wyatt and Luke! Grant loves the horses that live my our house, throwing rocks in the pond, and jumping in the mud puddles.
Love you all! Carrie & Grant

State Bound

Thanks for the great pictures....made me even sadder that I wasn't there, but Nick, I listened on the radio, with my little elementary students and you certainly gave the state champions a scare!

Speaking of state, little Mark Andrew qualified for state.....speech! Ha!  He would probably be mad if he even knew I was telling you all, but as a former speech coach, I know all the hard work that it takes to get to state and how hard it is to make it, so thought I would share his accomplishment (however nerdy) with all of my loved ones. 

It's one of those things I really miss about momma, calling and telling her these things that probably aren't a big deal, but that we are proud of our kids about, but isn't such a big enough that I feel like I should call and put you all through the misery of listening to a boring ole momma drag on about her kids! :)  I also miss calling her and getting all the info and updates about all of you...so what is going on with everyone? 

Anyway, Mark qualified in OID, and in Duet Acting received a superior medal and missed going to state by two points.  As he just was going to bed I told him I was blogging about his going to state and he said, "I will get ridiculed for that!" hahaha! 

Hope you are all enjoying the AMAZING weather.......that makes me miss momma too, know she would be out with her hands in the dirt.....planting onions, radishes......zillion of things so happy to just be outside.  Okay, I'm done......LOVE YOU ALL
