{Cherry Hill Fun}

We got Cherry Hill passes again this year.  We didn't get to go as often as we wanted because sweet little Lily P.  hated the water, so every time we went, I had to just stand with her in my arms.  We still had a great time when we went though.  In August, Mandy, Adrians sister stayed with us for a few days and we were able to go with her.  The kids were in HEAVEN!  They sure love their Aunt Mands.  :)

{JDRF Walk For A Cure Fundraiser}

As most of you all know, my sweet Ethan was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just over two years ago.  Type 1, also known as Juvenille Diabetes, is a terrible disease.  It means my Ethan is insulin dependent.  Insulin is NOT a cure, it is just his life support.  JDRF - Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation does a walk every year at Wheeler Farms to raise money to help find a cure.  Our family has a team that will be walking this year.  If you are interested in donating to sponser Ethan and our team in our walk to find a cure we would appriciate it greatly!:)  If you want to donate, or even join our team, you can go to
