relay for life...

as you know, my daycare mom and close friend, tracy, was diagnosed with breast cancer in january.
she is currently winning her fight against breast cancer!
to support her and the fight against cancer, we participated in englewood's relay for life during the first weekend in may.

it kicked off with a survivor's lap...
{that's tracy and her dad holding hands...he is a 2-time cancer survivor}

this pretty much says it all...


the girls got all "pinked up" for the relay...


we walked with candles during the memorial/luminaria laps...


love this shot of kacy...


tracy's son thomas and his buddy preston did a reading...
{preston's mom fought and won her battle with breast cancer, too.}


we walked 'til a little after midnight...
then, the girls and i came back the next morning to walk some more with tracy and my mom.
the girls got some balloon sculptures...jaden's was the "little mermaid"


ashlyn's was "dora"...


which she dropped and it immediately started popping...

it was hilarious! she walked up to the balloon guy and threw {what was left of} dora on the ground in front of him...

{oh, and thanks to peggy for the gift subscription to picnik where i've been editing all of my pics!}
