| Race for Wishes 2011 Team Pink |
For so many reasons, I am incredibly proud of my children. The last few months though, as we made plans for this day, a day to honor Alexa, that pride has grown & grown. As they discussed ways to honor their friend that they miss so very much, their love for Alexa & the Aigner’s has shown so very brightly.
While I may have done much of the footwork involved, ALL that we did yesterday was their idea….their vision of honoring Alexa and giving back. And it was AWESOME!!
That bandanna on Abby’s wrist has been an ever present memorial to Alexa since before we lost her. It’s with Abby when she rides her bike for the Ride for Wishes in the fall and anytime she is doing something that requires strength.
The morning was beautiful….not too warm, not too cold with sunshine and a mild breeze. As we sat waiting for our Team to arrive, it was hard not to smile as I watched my kid’s in all their pinkness!!
We could not have been more excited to see the Aigner’s and share all the goodies we had for the Walk to make sure everyone knew who we were walking for…..

And we were SO excited to meet the newest addition to the family, Holly.

While we may not have raised the most money, or had the biggest team, this group had some serious spirit going on!!!

It was something special to see Crys, Zach & Holly together….
And the reason for this morning, for this walk…..the Wish Kids….
Like last year, I needed a pic of my kiddo’s….
And our family pic for the morning…..just the way I like any picture of me, from the back….LOL
After a pit stop for lunch at Good2Go Taco, we were off to Trinity Hall Irish Pub for St. Baldrick’s!!!

We were so very blessed to have an awesome group with us throughout the day!!!
The cheers were deafening as our boys got on the stage to start the process…..And the shaving began….
Visions of the future….
We decided Chance looks like the monster from Young Frankenstein….LOL
But what they did to Chance, well, it WILL go down in history I am sure…..it was THAT good!!!
The hats made the look I think….
It was at the point that the boys were sent from the stage to raise $150 to have this awesome look not be permanent…..their friends love them and they had their cash in less than 5 minutes!!! I think the emcee was wishing she had said $300 at least!!! LOL
The end result was, as it was last year, AWESOME!!!
