For our yearly girls week, we decided to do the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake in Mom's memory. We convinced Craig to come as well. Shonni and Mckenzie came with Craig too. It was fun being with Karen and my daughters as we prepared for the race and spent time together. I found the glasses at the dollar store several weeks before the event and Karen got us all the flowers we had in our hair. We decided that Craig needed more pink so we got him the pink camo neckerchief. We couldn't leave out Gideon. We bought him a pink onsie and wrote, "save my milk supply," on it. We took Trax to Salt Lake and had a fun time together as we traveled there. This is an amazing experience. There were about 22,000 people who participated. It was an emotional time to see so many who has been affected by breast cancer. We all dedicated the walk to Mom and felt her presence. It's been a dream of mine to do this walk with my girls and my mom. It's a tradition that we will continue to participate in.
