This was a really special day to be a part of. Mr. Blue eyes was invited to be one of three kids to participate in a fundraiser for the St.Baldrick's Foundation. http://www.stbaldricks. org/ We went to the City Of Hope and got to meet 3 fire fighters and they showed them around the truck and all the fun stuff involved in that! They got to sit in it also. Then the best part was that they road to the event in the truck. Mr. Blue eyes took a bit to come out of his shell but
HE LOVED IT!
Go to http://www.stbaldricks.org/head-shaving and watch the video to see the why and how of tonight's event.
This is Karahs who has leukemia she is so adorable and sweet. She was brave and put on all the gear! This is the two of them watching very seriously as the firemen talked!
The jaws of life!
The view from the top with all the little kiddo's and firemen!
Mr.Blue eyes was not very fearful climbing around up there. Crazy guy!

Renee his awesome social worker from COH!
Each of the kids got to shave someones head! Corban got to shave his brothers head. Kaden really wanted to be a part of it all so they welcomed another shave -e. It was touching to have so many people care, dontae and shave their heads. From this side it means everything. Having had a kiddo with cancer, I wish no one had to do this.... the other mothers kids both had leukemia and there treatments will be three years. AHHHH that is a LONG TIME. I am all ready praying for them and there kids. We count our blessings and HOPE for them. One mother said I feel like I have aged so much. Those words shot through me and ring true to how I felt as we were in it.
These are the three firemen that were with the kids today. They all shaved their heads. They had huge hearts and were so wonderful with the kids.
Touched by all the good in the world. Reminded we can all make a diffrence...
Tonight over 63,000.00 dollars were earned to help support children's cancer research.
That is amazing!! I will pray for the sweet kiddos with Leukemia. Three years is so long. Kaden that was awesome that you shaved your head too! Thanks for sharing LaLa! Beautiful post. love you
