For those who don’t know, my friend David has a type of cancer called Sarcoma.  He has also just recently found out that his cancer is back for the 5th, YES, the 5th time.  He is hosting a charity golf outing next month to raise money for Sarcoma research. PLEASE consider signing up for the golf outing, or even just for dinner, or heck, even a $5 donation to the cause.
 
This money is not going to help Dave and Amy – even though it should.  They are sending it all in for Sarcoma research, so hopefully a cure can be found for this horrible cancer in the future and no one has to suffer like they have.
 
Please, please join us.  At this point, I am sending this to everyone in my address book and begging because it would make David’s day.  And in the midst of all of his horrible days, he deserves a good one. 
 
Please see Amy’s note below, as well as the links to the forms she has attached. 
 
See you at the links on the 18th!

Hello all,
 
With David being sick AGAIN, I’m trying to find all ways to keep his fragile spirits up.  So, I need your help.
 
As most of you by now know – David wanted so badly to host a charity golf outing this year benefiting Sarcoma research funding.  He just want’s to do all he can to prevent others from suffering as he repeatedly has – is from this horrific cancer.  As you can imagine, this latest reoccurrence has put a damper on things.  That does not mean he isn’t anxious for me to come in from the mailbox in the afternoon to hear who has sent their registration in.  He so badly wants this to be a HUGE success. 
 
So – here is the breakdown…
 
2:00 scramble requires 120 golfers prepaid 10 days prior.  I have 27 golfers paid.  We need 93 more paid golfers by the 10th of July.  Ouch – I know. 
 
I don’t want to let him down.  I know it is a far reach.  Believe me when I say that I understand times are tough!  I just want to give it one last shot.  For him.  For his dream of saving others.  At a time when all he should care about is saving himself…
 
So – recruit – recruit – recruit people.  Thanks to David’s best friend Steve, we have great gifts/door prizes, we’ll have cold beer, great food, an excellent time and a tax write-off.  $80.00 is a deal.  It is giving up one meal out and a weeks worth of your fancy coffee…  Yep – that is begging.  I know, it isn’t beneath me at this point.  Don’t worry about being a pro golfer… This will be the most laid-back round of your life. 
 
If for whatever reason you are not in to it – we are OK with that!  Truly.  Like I said, this is giving it one last shot.  All I ask is that you spread the word.  Time is running out. 
 
Before I close – THANKS to those of you who have already either donated or registered for golf.  There aren’t words to express how much we appreciate that!  Maybe you have friends/family/neighbors who might want to tag along????  ;-)  
 
As always, if you have any questions – let me know! 
 
 
Below are links to the 3 different registration forms.  The 1st fully details the outing itself with the registration from on page two.  The second link is for those not wanting to golf, but want to come to the dinner at the golf course that follows the outing.  The third is for those who would like to make a donation without participating on the 18th.

…means picture time :)

Daddy took this one!

And I guess we can call these “Nolan’s almost 4 month pictures” – ha!  I can never do pictures on time.

Finally!

I finally have the picture wall that I have been wanting to create since we moved in (3 years ago!).  I LOVE it, and intend to add more :)

I am in T-R-O-U-B-L-E

They are already talking to each other non-stop.  I am going to have to invest in earplugs, because I am sure this will turn into yelling before I know it…

Sneak Peak!

We had a great time on vacation.  Thanks to Nick and Kathy for making it possible!  I am not quite finished going through pictures yet, so here are a few to hold you over :)

It started out just like this :)

Brayden loved the sand!

And the pool – but wouldn’t get anywhere near the ocean.

Nolan, on the other hand, didn’t mind where he was…

More to come!  Including pictures from our trip to see Shamu!

Promises, Shromises

I PROMISE to have more pics of MY kiddos on here soon.  Cross my heart and hope to die.

In the meantime, here are a few of BB from the past couple months that I have yet to share:

 

 

And if ya’ll are good, I will post a video later today.  Anything to get out of cleaning and packing for vacation!

Happy Birthday Blake!

June 4, 2009

I can’t believe you are 2.  It seems like just yesterday I was standing at the head of your mommy’s bed while she pushed for over 2 hours to get you out :)   To this day, you are still pretty stubborn.  But your adorableness makes up for it!  We love you!

Some pictures from Blake’s “ball” party!

His present from Mom and Dad

The pinata…He swings a bat like his Daddy :( Hopefully, his uncles will teach him what ball sports are!

The cake

The bubble machine was a hit

Preston

Dylan

Olivia

Fun was had by all

Mitchell

Luke and his super cool hairdo

And our first family picture!  Thanks Erin!

Here are a few shots from Blake’s 2 year and Max’s 6 month photo session :)   More here

The best shot I could get of the both of them,

that didn’t look this this…

Poor Max has allergies, so we had to take his session indoors so the poor little guy could open his big blue eyes

One more of my beautiful Godson, I can’t believe he is 2!

To a beautiful baby GIRL!  Can you believe it, there is a GIRL in our family!

Leigh Susan Wolff was born on May 24th (the same day as our Godson, Blake) at 8:24pm, weighing 6lbs, 6oz and 21 inches long!  How about those stats for a baby who was 8 days LATE!  She is gorgeous and perfect.  She has a beautiful birthmark above her right knee.  She poops, ALOT.  She may not look like a Wolff baby quite yet, but she sure has the characteristics of one already :)   We are so overjoyed to have her in our lives, and congrats to Ben and Loren!

Don’t hit the Florence Mall looking for girly clothes for this little princess.  I bought them. ALL.

Some pictures of her 1st hour:

I can’t believe Ben is a Dad!

Proud Aunt Heather and Uncle Nate

 

On her 1 week birthday, I went over and we had a perfect little photo session.  She was an angel and slept the WHOLE time, and even let me stuff her in a basket without complaining :)

Her middle name comes from Loren’s mom, and Ben’s Aunt/Godmother (who passed away when Ben was a baby).  This blanket was made for Ben by his Aunt Susan.

And many, many more pictures here :)

So THANK YOU, Ben and Loren, for giving us a perfect little girl.  So glad she is yours and not ours :)   JUST KIDDING.  But seriously, in about 10 years, I won’t be!

So behind :(

June 2, 2009

I am sorry I am SOOOO behind on the blog :(   I will try and catch up this week.  Lots of exciting things have been happening!  I think May was the busiest month of my whole life!

And just to hold you over:

 

The cutest 3 month old in the whole world.  Where has the time gone?
