Relay for Life

My mom was one of the speaker's for Relay for Life this year. We all had a fun time and we are so proud of Grandma for being a cancer survivor of almost 3 years!!

Here's a look at my tatoo and my cool breast cancer ribbon flip flops - thanks Mom!

Here's grandma, dong her survivor lap....yea grandma!!
After the survivor lap, all family and other support got to do the second lap.

Releasing the balloons.
Mom was the first speaker at the relay. She had a great speech! During the speech she asked for Carson and Ava to come up, since they were born the day after she was diagnosed with cancer. We weren't for sure how they would do, but after about a minute on stage they were waving to us shouting "Hi Mom, hi Dad!!"
Then, Ava put her arm around Carson which was super funny!
Mom's "lady bugs"
Then her daughters went up on stage...
she told about how we all got breast cancer tatoos in her honor.
All of mom's supporters!
