Crazy week...

• Victor started his new temp job and work schedule this week..We are THANKFUL for his job, we are THANKFUL for his job...we do not love his shift, but we are THANKFUL for his job!
• Our Relay hit $60K today...goal of $80K is SO gonna happen!
• Charlotte continues to both challenge and completely crack us up DAILY!! She's such a precious little soul! I need to seriously take a note pad with me and WRITE the stuff that she comes up with down, because it's SO stinkin' funny!
• Work is just crazy/busy and this summer is not gonna slow down! I'm thankful for my job and that I do get to do some volunteer stuff as part of my job too for the better of the local community!
• We haven't seen our kitchen table in weeks, the entire living room has been taking over with Letty's Bag creations and fabric, lots of fabric!
• My nose is peeling from being a BAD mommy on Saturday and not reapplying my sunblock to myself or my kiddo...luckily she's got Victor's complexion...me, not so lucky!?!
  
• Our neighbors are the best!
• Our friends are the best!
• Our FAMILY is the best!!!
• I'm looking forward to a long 4.5 day weekend...hopefully I'll get a lot done, including some REST and NOT thinking about anything, along with a lot of sewing, parade watching and fireworks shooting...it's gonna be an AWESOME weekend!

HOW is it already JULY??

Meeting Megan Marie...

she'll be 4 months old on the 4th...she's a real cutie!

Met up with the Rohr family, Rachel and the kiddos tonight at Out of This World Pizza. The kids had a blast playing and the adults were able to talk and hear each other...we closed the place down.

Can't wait for the 4th of July parade on Saturday! Should be FUN times for all of us!

Hanging out with Daniel & Cammy...

Charlie & I met up with Daniel (red shirt), Cammy (blue shirt) and their mama Jen this morning at JoAnn Fabrics to get some fabric for Jen...then we headed over to Cafe Sip-n-Play for playtime, mommy time and lunch!

Thanks Jen, Cammy &Daniel for meeting up with us. We had a great time and we need to do it more often! ;-)

First Annual Bark For Life...

was a SUCCESS!! We had over 57 registered doggies, raised over $2,000 and had FUN Saturday morning! We lucked out with the weather, it was overcast and the sun took a while to break out of the clouds.

THANK YOU to our Bark For Life Planning Committee: Nicki, Dean, Jeanie, Tafena, Alina and Ed Bonilla - you guys did an amazing job! A special THANKS to Nicki! If Nicki hadn't had the passion & vision to make this happen, it would have never launched off the ground. A special THANKS also to our amazing Staff Partner DANA, who helped us look outside "the kennel", hooked us up with some FUN BFL gifts and helped make Nicki's passion for Bark become a reality!!!

Thanks to all the many volunteers both before, during and after the event! Also to our Relay Committee family members, who help us year round when the Committee members get these crazy Relay ideas -- without the continued support of our families, we wouldn't be able to do these type of events.

Thanks to all the folks that registered their canine companions and all the humans that accompanied their doggies! Thanks to all the folks that don't even have doggies that showed up to support this event!

Thanks to our Teams that had on-site FUNdraisers and our Sponsors and Vendors for their support! A personal SHOUT OUT from me to Team Basket Kases for a Cure in providing the FOOD vendor booth! You saved a lot of us having to make food trips!

Two PAWS UP on a great inaugural event! Can't wait for next year (well, I actually can...we still have to get thru Relay in less than 4-weeks)...

Warning...this post has over 70 photos...a new record for a single post! I just couldn't leave any doggies out...
