let it snow

Thanks to Sue Ellen's class I had this cute mine bag album for the snow pictures that I was able to take this year because we had come SNOW that lasted more then a few hours.

Did you see the Paper...

and who made the front page. So does this make me famous? : ) Just joking! It was so weird to see my picture on the front page of the Hermiston Hearld tonight. All in good fun to kick off Relay season. As you can see we are dress as the Flintstones family. The theme for this years event is Let's Make Cancer History, and the Flintstones are a page out of history.

Relay Kick off...

Last night was our Relay For Life Kick off. We had a good time. So this is it we are not off and running for the 2007 Relay For Life in Hermiston, Oregon. Our event will be held on June 22nd and 23rd at the Hermiston High School track. Over the next several months we will have steering committe and team captain meetings, and all the while teams will be collecting money. Our goal this year is $110,000. Here are some pics from last night.
