Race for the Cure Weekend

It has been a while since I have updated pictures! We have been super busy, so you'll have to get two different posts today.

First of all, most of you know that my friend and sorority sister, Amy Waltz, from SWT was diagnosed with breast cancer last March. She is doing awesome and is kicking some serious cancer a$$! She has been so incredible through all of this and it has been so heart warming and inspiring to see how she has handled this and all of the awesome friends and family that she has around her. Long story short, she had a team of 270 people racing for the cure along with her. We were Waltz' Warriors and our awesome shirts won 2nd place in the t-shirt contest.
In a moment of insanity, I thought that it would be a swell idea to register the boys for the race and haul them downtown at 6:30am with 30,000 other people. Jennifer and Sofie came in town for the weekend too. So, we had a double jogger, a single jogger and three kids between the two of us. We finally found our group and did our best to keep up with everyone.
Let me go ahead and say that I didn't take ANY of these pictures. They were all the work of Jennifer Hancock, who is now a photographer and she's awesome. www.jennyhartgrove.com
Here are the kids getting ready to go! They were bummed that I wouldn't let them out of the stroller to "race" and kept asking the whole time if they were winning. Such boys.

Here is me, Jennifer and Katie.After the race, we all went back to First Pres. for a great lunch and had a chance to catch up with all the girls who had come in town for the big race. While we were waiting, Jen got some great shots of the boys!


After the race, we came back and got rested up and ready for a fun night out. All of the old DZ's and some of Amy's super fun friends got together for dinner and then a few of us went to the new Wine Bar in Pearland (very fun, BTW!). Matt stayed and got the kids all fed and put all FOUR to bed. Nilza stayed and spent the night and then he came and met us out. Good times!

Jennifer and I...

All of the girls with Amy...All in all, a super fun weekend!
