44 Laps!!!!!!!!!!
Wow......Scott said Zachary never slowed down! He walked the most laps in the 1st grade...& it is a really good thing, because he was obsessive about it!
Let me explain.......Last year when Zachary was in Kindergarten, the school had their annual walk-a-thon. This is the school's largest fundraiser and also promotes health & exercise. The kids have about 1 week to ask family & friends if they would like to sponsor them. Zachary walked 21 laps last year. HOWEVER, this year, he was obsessed with winning. He wanted an Ipod or one of the other many prizes. He solicited sponsors from everyone, from the family - to Dr. Thomas (veterinarian). Sponsors could pledge an amount per lap or a flat amount. Needless to say.....the flat amount sponsors - they were the smart ones! The losers....well, that would be Scott & Me at $1.25 per lap.......Honey & Papa Bob at $1.00 per lap, & Aunt Alicia & Carina at $0.50 per lap.
And did I mention.....he walked...no ran...44 laps!!!!
While he did walk more than any other 1st grader, he didn't win the grand prize. He was satisfied when he won $20. The money was burning a hole in his pocket & he promptly purchased a new toy gun.
Zachary is ready to start asking for sponsor's NOW.....he wants to get a head start on next year...... All that I can say......WATCH OUT when you see him coming!
Thanks to all of you for your support in sponsoring Zachary - we are very proud of his resolve!

Dustin & Robin's Wedding
THEY ARE MARRIED!
Scott, Zachary, Hope & I traveled to Texas for Dustin & Robin's wedding. It was a whirlwind trip but always great to see our family. As usual - we pulled in to Fort Worth and went straight to Mexican Inn for our mexican fix (you just can't get the real thing in Dickson)! Afterwards, Scott & Bob headed over to join the Bachelor Party.
Friday was a great day for a wedding! The weather was beautiful, as were the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.....it would have been a perfect day if we hadn't been hit by some girl running a red light!!!!! No insurance, no liscense....you know the drill (and Scott ....you may not write any further details regarding the accident on this blog!). :-) You all don't know....but you'll thank me for that!
The wedding was beautiful, as was the bride & groom. Steven & Jeanie did ALOT of shaking their groove things! (and looked good doing so). Caroline & Hope were so sweet & made perfect flower girls. Michael & Zachary looked handsome & enjoyed passing out bubbles. Zachary still says "I can't believe Uncle Dustin is married"...LOL...it's funny to hear what kids say.
Dustin & Robin headed to a hotel for the weekend & the rest of us headed to the lake. Greg was a brave one & took all 4 kids to the donut shop on Saturday morning & then we took a ride on the boat................brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...it was cold - nothing like the Texas weather that I am accustomed to! The boys rode on Michael's new giant inner tube & loved every frozen minute. Later on, Honey & Papa Bob arrived, as well as PawPaw & Ms. Jeanie. We had a great dinner & smores outside....great weather!
We packed up to head home on Sunday - had breakfast with the family & then were on our journey. It was a good trip!
