pink (for awareness)

the cheer girls, football boys, and volleyball ladies all fashioned their pink for breast cancer awareness month.  they looked very cute too. and the boys very tough wearing pink:)

it's unbelievable the amount of people effected with or by breast cancer some how.

 

on a side note: we finally wrapped up brooke's volleyball season and brady's football season.

it was so much fun to watch them, but will enjoy some nights at home for awhile

(until basketball season that is)

 

very proud of my kids for doing their best in these sports.
