Relay for Life - 2012

The kids & I headed to Baker, MT for Relay for Life this year.
We had to blow some time in Beach waiting to meet up with Grammie & Papa & we found this little park.
 Once we got to Baker, we set up our tents for the kids to crash at night.
The kids had fun tackling Grammie in the tent.
 Then Sidney convinced Grammie to give her a ride.
 This pretty little preggo lady was the reason we were there.
My baby cousin Prairie is now about to have her 1st baby!
She had Stage 4 Hodgekins Lymphoma last year & she kicked it's butt.
She's been free & clear & is now about to have her firstborn (I'm guessing GIRL)
 Of course I had to get a pic with the girl herself.
 The kids were just chill'n waiting to walk the loop.
 Grammie & me just hang'n out.
 Cayden was very interested in all the luminaries!
 LOVE this girl!
 The opening ceremony.
 It was so awesome to see the amount of people there.
 We were in tears during the woman sharing her story.
 Prairie & her friend Audra!
 Sissy & her papa!
 so beautiful!
 The kids were so excited for the "Disney character" lap.
We didn't realize it wasn't until 11:30, so they just wore them the whole night.
They got alot of people giggling.
 Prairies parents Newell & Mary getting ready for the team lap.
 The kids ready to walk with the Prairie Walkers team.
 Papa & Grammie ready to walk.
 Audra & Prairie leading the team with the team sign!
 Butterfly princess Sidney with Prairie.
 THIS little lady RAN an entire lap with papa by her side....the entire time yelling "i running"
 THIS is was 5:30 am looks like for us.  YIKES were we tired.
 The relay ended with a beautiful sunrise & rainbow & even some rain.

 Me & the kids with Prairie....Prestyn always the little stinker.
 After the relay we stopped in Webaux for breakfast with Grammie & Papa before we headed home!
What a great weekend & a great reminder of how blessed we are to be alive.
Thanking God today for our health!
