Race for the Cure!

Paxson, Gracie Myers and Mommy joined the team from World Travel Mates to walk in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event! This was a super early morning for us, but the kids did great and we had fun walking in downtown Charlotte! We walked in memory of my grandmother, Sarah Auten. Thank you to all of you who sponsored us on this walk!
Gracie Myers was all PINK!

I gave Paxson a camera to keep him busy. Unfortunately, most of the pictures he took were of other walker's backsides considering he was in the jogging stroller the entire time!


Meme, Pops and the kids get ready to walk!

Paxson was so excited to cross the starting line because he said it was "Like the Backyardigans on Race Day!"

Tracy and her family walked along side us too.

These pink ribbons were on the trees, they were really pretty!


Crossing the finish line...Paxson was ready to get out of that stroller!

Mommy and her girl!

Pops with Jean Cavney, she was also on our team. Unfortunately, we never got a picture of the entire team. See ya next year!

Later That Day!

Today has been a very busy day! We started out this morning walking in the Race for the Cure and then we headed to a birthday party for one of Paxson's friends. Meanwhile, Pops and Meme took Gracie Myers to their house so she could nap. When we went to pick Gracie Myers up, Paxson talked Pops into giving him a ride on the backhoe! What a busy day!
Paxson the Pirate!

There they go!

Paxson had fun scooping with the bucket!

Gracie Myers didn't seem to mind the loud noise!

The "worker men" eat a snack after a hard day on the work site!

Who knows what Pops is doing here? He had Gracie Myers playing the egg shaker with her hair in a bandana....never a dull moment!
