Pampered Chef Fundraiser for CFF

If you need anything from The Pampered Chef, there is a fundraiser going on now for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. ALL of the free products earned will be used as Wine Opener silent auction items AND, the consultant - Carla Laing - will be donating ALL of her commission to the CFF!

If you'd like to order something, Carla's website is www.pamperedchef.biz/carlalaing. Click "Shop Online" then enter "Cystic" and "Fibrosis", then start your shopping for a great cause! If you live out of town, they have a direct ship option. If you'd rather just let me know what you want, I can add it to my order. They are closing the show on January 19.

If you live locally and would like to attend the show at the home of Karen Klane on Wednesday, January 13, let me know and I'll send you the evite.

Of course, if you have anything for the silent auction we would be so appreciative!

Touch a Truck 2009

A few pictures of Peyton from Touch-a-Truck (Mackenzie was at a sleepover).
Building with Home Depot is always fun!

Last time I ever want to see this:

I'm glad we got to go even if it was just for a little while sandwiched between Peyton's soccer tournament and Mackenzie's softball tournament. It is a fun event!

Helping Others

Yesterday, the girls and I met Traci, Kendall & Drew at P.F. Chang's for lunch.
After lunch it was time to get to work! Peyton and Kendall put a plan together that they were going to make crafts, set up a Santa Shop and donate the money to Helping Hands. Peyton spent the night with Kendall Saturday night and they made their crafts.
It was so cold that they weren't able to set the Santa Shop up on Sunday so yesterday after lunch the girls went to sell things at Andy's office. They almost sold out of everything and raised $52.30!
We left Andy's office and headed straight over to Helping Hands where the girls tuned their money in. Bill at Helping Hands said that doesn't happen very often. The girls asked how their money could help others and Bill explained that it could either go towards paying utility bills or to help restock their food pantry. They wanted to help with the food pantry. Bill said they were going to be going shopping and would be getting crackers at about $1 a box so the girls will be helping 52 families!

The girls enjoyed this so much they are already planning what they are going to do next year!

Buddy Walk

We went to the Buddy Walk today for the National Down Syndrome Society. We joined Team P.I.T. Crew - the team supporting Jason's co-worker's sweet girl Carly.

The girls standing on Arkansas, building things with Dad (I helped a little), and checking out the Air Evac Helicopter:


Chris Burke who played Corky Thatcher on Life Goes On performed with the Chris Burke Band...it was so fun when they sang "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". I LOVED that show!
