Hey Readers,

Me already for the Girls Basketball game! don't mind the messy room..haha

Saturday my family went to the Nebraska Spina Bifida Conference in Omaha. We met a lot of new friends. I painted faces on the kids with the help of my friend, Jodee. A magician, Jerrid the Incredible, performed for the kids while the parents were learning about different aspects of Spina Bifida and their kids. It was a fun day! We'll see everyone again at the Omaha Area Biker's Annual Pancake feed to benefit the Nebraska Spina Bifida Association on May 8th. If anyone is interested there will be a poker run sponsored by the Omaha Area Bikers on June 5th to benefit the Nebraska Spina Bifida Association. Check out the website for more information... http://www.spinabifidanebraska.org

Hunter is ready to roll!

Joe takes his turn as Jerrid the Incredible's assistant.

Mason picks out his design so I can paint his face.

Rory can't be stopped!  Except to get her picture taken...she loves that!
