Relay for life

This past weekend my family and I participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. It was a 24 hour walk that started Friday night and ended Saturday Night. I had a lot of fun. It was a great experience, taking one day out of the year to celebrate and remember those effected by cancer. Cancer is such a terrible thing that effects people of all ages. I am glad I had the opportunity to walk and show my support. We had items up for raffle to earn money. Kelsey, Mataya and their new friend Josie were great saleswomen. They would ask everyone walking by if they wanted to buy a ticket. They definetly did their part to help, not mention all the walking they did. As part of the relay you could by luminarias to show those who had survived or died from cancer. Here are the ones we got and decorated.

Megan Augustine- Ethan's sister

Sally Meikle- friend and co-worker of my mom's

Chris Bair- Melanie's husband

Carrie Andersen- Justin's wife

They had a dunking booth there, you could pay $5 to nominate someone, and they had to pay $10 to be un-nominated or face the water. Well as you can see in the picture Lynette was nominated, by her own grand-daughter. Mataya nominated Lynette and she bravely participated.

Update

I guess I should update my blog with what has been going on. Not anything too interesting, but we have been busy the last couple weeks. First, Abigail got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Duffel on Friday June 26th. They were driving through on there way to Washington. We are so glad we were able to meet to see each other.

We spent th 4th of July weekend at Bear Lake. I am so glad it was a nice weekend. Every other time we have been to the lake it has rained. We were able to take Abigail down to the beach. The water is still a ways away, but has come up from last year. We had alot of fun hanging out on the beach.

Abigail turned 2 months last Friday. I can't believe she is 2 months already, it seems like just yesterday... She had to go in for her 2 month check up yesterday. She is doing really well. She is up to 11 lbs 6 oz and 22 1/4 inches. She had to get her dreaded shots too. She was so brave. She had such a sad cry. It broke my heart. She is doing very good though. No more shot until 4 months. Wow I am sure the time will fly. I guess thats all for now. I will update soon.
