Whew ...

The on-line registration for the 5k is finally completed. Or at least I think it is done, it may need some tweaks to perfect. Jerry added the link to the liveBIG website and I think it will increase our efficiency for both registration as well as check-in.

Over the next two weeks we will be working hard on the sponsors and the advertising to ensure a large turn out again. I am hoping to top 450 this year!

See ya next time,
Bill

5K - May 3rd 2009

It's that time of year again, time for the liveBIG Fund annual 5k. The details are on the web at www.livebigfund.org , but we are planning some really cool additions this year:

  • Seat belt convincer from the State Patrol
  • Pickle's Roll 'n Ride bike rodeo and street safety program
  • State Trooper cruiser on display
  • Kids Bouncy arena (the big blow up variety)
  • Food, ice cream and other stuff for sale
  • Face painting
  • Great Music

We are also trying to organize a 'dutch oven cooking contest'. I'll let you know how that goes as we get rolling.

Please set aside the time to join us. Pre register at www.livebigfund.org through the events page.

See you there!!!

Valentines Day

Abby wants to be the first to say 'Happy Valentine's Day'! Sabrina liked the gesture, but really wanted to get some sleep. Aunt Catherine supplied the shirts and it's a good thing we wore them today ... they seem to be getting a bit tight!Daddy gets his first dance with Sabrina ... watchout for my toes!

Chris won $2 on a lottery ticket for his Valentine gift. Maybe he can buy a car?
Cheryl loves holidays and this Valentine's Day marks our 11th (10 as a married couple) together. I cooked steak, asparagus and texas toast for dinner and we split a bottle of Cabernet Franc. The music in the background was mildly romantic (not too mushy for Chris).
