Brown Braclets

We have this cute little nine year old girl in our ward. She was diagnosed with Leukemia right after her mom had her fifth child. She has to stay at Primary Children's hospital for a month at a time and then she gets to come home for a week. She is such a miracle and is doing so much better. What an example this family has been to us!

For our Fall Carnival at school we did a fund raiser by selling brown bracelets the say, "Pray for Jane" on them. Our neighborhood raised around 7 thousand dollars, just by selling bracelets.

We did a fund raiser dinner at Thanksgiving Point and it was such a success! It just makes me realize what good people we live by and are associated with. It has been a good lesson for me. I have been a better mom because of my experience.

As you can see Kennedie had fun with the face painting booth. I am not sure what she is or what the face means, but it was funny!


Of course Stockton got the old standby, Y!



And again the piggy smile~

I love Doni's face. It is almost like she just did something sneaky.
