Relay for Life

Last Friday was a special day. It was Relay for Life day! Mama and I were on a team for it and our team wore aprons. Our teams's theme was called, "Cookin' for a Cure." Kelly, Logan and Lauren got to come to Camden for it. Here we are in our lil aprons!
Here we all are at the event. We all wore grey ribbons for Daddy.

This is Zoe. She is a cancer survivor! She is 5 years old and too sweet and cute for words! I told Zoe that we would have a special day just for her and we could play games and maybe even play with her dolls together really soon! I just love children. I really do.


So special. I spoke at the relay right before the lighting of all the luminaries. I was trying to promote brain cancer awareness. I also sang, "How You Live", a song by Point of Grace. I was so nervous, but it went very well. The luminaries above say "Hope '10" for this year. It was so neat to be there and I'll never forget it.
Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth -a stranger not your own lips. Proverbs 27:2

Relay for Life and Gardening

Next weekend is Camden's Relay for Life. This will be a very important event for us to attend. It supports the American Cancer Society to help beat all cancer. I am actually going to speak and sing at this event next Friday night in honor of Daddy. I am speaking about brain cancer and some about our story about it. Today, I got a purple bow and put on our mailbox. This signifies that we support cancer research and the Relay for Life event.

The other day, I got this beautiful "knockout rose bush" and planted it today. Can't wait to see it grow even more!

Petunias are just growing too! So pretty!





I have planted several things in this garden. Salvia, marigolds, strawberry plants, snapdragons, and lilies are in this garden. I want to have more of a "green thumb" as soon as I can! ha!

Belle had such fun in the backyard with me! She is growing up! Hope ya'll have had a great week so far!

We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly. 1 Thessalonians 1:2
