Lebonheur Pumpkin Run

Jonathan ran Saturday morning for Team Nola Gracyn.
They were so sweet and asked to put Evie on the shirt.
Finishing the race! He had his best time yet!
Ramsey would like to show you three different ways to go down a moon bounce
1. The old fashioned bottom way
2. The laying flat on your back move
3. The lay on your stomach and push yourself down
Jonathan, Ramsey and "sissy pillow"

Tomboy or Princess?

Ramsey can't decide.
One minute she is outside playing with fish and picking up worms and frogs and the next making scramble eggs in a tiara and loving her "priddy dresses"


This baby however will definently be a gymnast.
If you have no clue what you are seeing, the baby is upside down in a front roll position.
The head is the large round thing at the bottom with its chin tucked into its chest, its body is to the right, you can see the spine and the legs are the top going to the left and the foot is pointing down :)
We are 18 weeks and everything is still looking good
I was put on bed rest with the girls this coming week, isn't that crazy?

Arts and Crafts Fair

We took Ramsey to Audobon Park for a festival on Friday. We thought they would have more things for her to do but mainly just a petting zoo and train ride. She still had fun though and loved playing with all the animals.




The Newlyweds

My sweet cousin Meredith got married last weekend and i am just now getting my moms pics downloaded to post. The wedding was beautiful. This was Ramsey's first wedding and she had so much fun dancing the night away and of course the cake. She sat in the service and colored and was so quiet, i was extremely nervous. My dad kept trying to get us to sit in the front with the fam but that made my heart race! ha She proved me wrong and did great. It did help that i had several mini bags of candy corn ;)
Dancing the night away with PaPa
The reception was at a beautiful farm with horses and this little guy who grabbed Ramseys dress and almost ripped it off her! ha

Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Harwood

We wish you the best Meredith and Brooks!

Evie Boost

Rob and Jonathan planned on running in a 5k on Sunday to support Good Grief, a children's bereavement camp. The run was at Memorial Park where Evie is buried. Jonathan woke up at midnight with a horrible migraine and ended up in bed most of the day. Rob still ran and did amazing! He was in 3rd place toward the end and he said Evie gave him a boost and he flew past the front 2 to win 1st place overall!!!!
Way to go Rob!

Make a Wish

We had a busy weekend but my favorite part was sending a little girl to Disney World in Evie's honor! We can not thank all of you enough for donating to Make a Wish in memory of Evie. You raised enough to send sweet Camryn a 5 year old girl with a life threatening ilness to Disney and we had the honor of being there and presenting it to her and her family.
We met a Big Back Yard and she had a scavenger hunt finding the Disney princesses. Jonathan and i were two of the spots so i don't have many pictures of that but she was running all over the place and had a blast!
Her last Princess picture to find was Belle and she ran up the red carpet and found Belle and she told her she was going to Disney.
I love the progression of her finding out

To say she was excited was an understatement!!
Showing her the countdown calender for her to cross of the days until she leaves
Thank you Stephanie and Lindsey for being our princesses!!
Opening her presents
The set up
Yummy, beautiful cake!
She even served everyone! Too sweet
We were blessed to be able to send this sweet girl to her favorite place. We had a trip to disney planned for the girls during Christmas and our sweet Evie didn't get to go with us so sending a girl to Disney World is the wish we knew we wanted to grant.
The day was very bittersweet and we are praying this sweet girl gets to go to Disney many more times. I don't know how many times she said " all my dreams came true today"! ha She was so full of life. It amazes me what joy she had, you would have had no idea she was sick.
We are continuing to support Make a Wish in Evie's honor and you can help by clicking on this link
You will be able to donate to support people running in the St. Jude Marathon/Half Marathon for Team Evie Grace. We will also be selling shirts. Anyone running or going to support or just wanting a Team Evie shirt can purchase one. We will post that information when it is ready.

Thanks again for donating to Make a Wish and sending Camryn to Disney World!

In case you were wondering..

What we did yesterday
We built a tall tower during nap time with our puzzle pieces
I personally thought this was cute and creative, but she is my daughter so of course i would :)
We played outside
Then took a much needed bubble bath
thats about it :)
