Trip to CR, Aunt Betty's Benefit and a very long week!

Betty and Mom
I started this post at the beginning of this last week, but worked most hours of the day and evening throughout this past week...so am just getting it out today.

Last Friday night I left Steve and the manimals at home and headed for CR.
On the way, I stopped and had the chance to visit with one of my very best friends Jen and her new little one Owen. I guess he is not so little anymore, they grow SO fast, but he did wake up long enough to give Aunt Lori some good smiles and cuddle time:)

On Saturday Mom, Dad, sister Julie and niece Samantha headed to Wisconsin for a cancer benefit in honor of my Aunt Betty Bird. Cathy, Kobe and Zoey came as well. The benefit had a great turn out and we got to see a lot of family we don't get the chance to see often.

Even a few of our cousins from California were able to be at the event Diane showed above, and Don in the center below with Bob and Greg (more cousins:)


Karly, Zoe and Bella


Some of us stayed around for some dancing and Karaoke later on in the evening

Wow it's finally letting me make a comment. Hey Lori - it's Brett. I've been reading your blog since you told us about it back in August (or whenever). My comment is - your blog is interesting. I started a blog too - made one post and forgot about it for a few months, forgot the password, came back recently and created a new password, made a few more entries. If you ever want to read it let me know & I will e-mail you the link.

Love,
Brett
