Shake, Rattle, and Roll

Okay I have a lot to blog this time around. Today (Sept 21) not only is it Carson's 2mos birthday, but it was the Shake Rattle, and Roll. This is a fundraiser to bring awareness to Parkinson's disease. It was a long day, but a fun one. Jeff was in charge of the bag toss tournament, which went very well. As most of you know from earlier blogs that my family does a lot to raise money for Parkinson's research, since it is a genetic disease and runs in my family.

First I want to say how bummed I was that my step mom, Kathy, was sicker than a dog and couldn't make it to the event. I felt so sorry for her she was soooooooooo sick and not only did she miss the fundraiser, but Saturday was her birthday (and she had been sick since Friday). It just sucks, because all 7 of her grand kids were there and I would have loved to get a picture of her and my dad with all the kids. I think she is feeling better day by day. Plus she didn't get to see Carson sport her Obama onesie that she bought her. Carson and I were the best dressed there I do have to say myself. We had our Obama gear on.

Second I want to say how awesome my aunts are. My Aunt Debbie helped a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot to get this Shake, Rattle, and Roll up and running this year. My Aunt Lori and Uncle Chuck came from MO to help also, which was great because we don't get to see them that much. Aunt Debbie was one of the director's this year for the event and put a lot of heart into it. She is a wonderful lady and has the kindest heart. Carson would be Debbie's great niece and my aunt treats her like her own grandchild. Aunt Debbie and Uncle Terry have three boys, we all grew up together and it was more like they were my brother's then my cousins. We are still very close. Her oldest, Brent, has the cutest little girl Josie that I just love . It was just nice that we could all get together for the Parkinson's walk and do something for a good cause.

I would also like to thank my mom for coming to help out with all the kids. Here are some pictures of us at The Parkinson's walk.

Here is Carson in her kick butt Obama onesie.
