Heart Ball

James sure does love Snowball.  And Snowball sure does love him!!  So sweet.

It was fun getting all dressed up for the Cinci Heart Ball.  We were surrounded by Cardiologist and Neurologists, and Doctors of many sorts.  None the less, we had a good time and it was  fun to be a part of a great cause.  It’s funny that the race Michelle and I are running on March 18th is also sponsored by this group.   This must be my year to support heart health!

The kids did great without us.  They loved having Janet here and they survived just fine.  It was really nice to go out…we need to do it more often. Chris and I giggled at our classy van.  We rolled up to valet with our mini loaded with popcorn on the floor from the kids earlier in the day!  Ha!

They had lots of fun auctions…lots of high rollers…some auctions went for as much as 11,000.  We bid 10,500 but just couldn’t go any further than that---totally kidding!

We were entertained by these fire breathing people while we waited for everyone to get seated for dinner.  Dinner was good…beef and mahi.  Chris had to get the vegetarian meal…a portabella mushroom and purple potatoes (you can imagine Chris’s delight).  Everything was yummy.

Afterwards there was dancing next door at the Red Haute Ball Room.  It was loaded with light toys and such (sunglasses, necklaces, rings, sabers, etc).  It was fun to watch everyone dancing around with them on. Although all the flashing was a bit hard on the old eyes!! LOL We left the ball with tons of things for the kiddos to play with when we got home!  They loved their new things…especially the light up sunglasses.

James needs a serious hair cut!!

He likes to hold it in one position which results in an interesting hairdo when he is finished!!

Jamesy loves blow drying his hair after swim lessons!!  

Scooter time!!  She also collected tons of stuff for her basket. 

Yesterday I received a letter from the president of Chris's company. Chris was recently was honored an excellence award for his achievements this past year. The letter Was to let me know that I would be receiving a delivery from DPS to thank me for supporting Chris (and in turn DPS) through his late late nights, long hours and lots of traveling. I was pleasantly surprised by this kindness. The flowers are beautiful. I am also especially thankful to Chris because he does work very hard for his family and I truly appreciate that!!

Sporting the backwards hat!!

Having fun at the Y!!  :)

Jamesy is 3!

What a wonderful weekend.  I love a house filled with family, good friends, and food!  Can hardly believe that he is 3!

If you look close, you can see the vein popping out of his neck.  He was blowing hard!

Haleigh, getting her beauty sleep. Literally, she is out cold here. I didn't know she had put them on and couldn't help but turn on the light (justifiable when her eyes are covered) to get a quick shot). Wonder of they'll stay on all night?!
