Festival Meeting

Thursday was our first big Festival meeting for the year. After the meeting wrapped up we got to take a tour of the Mary Bridge Emergency Room, The PICU and the Helli pad. It was a gorgeous day on Thursday so we were able to get a group shot with the mountain in the background. It is so amazing to see where all the dollars go after putting on such a large scale event! Many of the major remodels, equipment and new buildings have taken place because of Festival.

Last night was inspirational and completely solidified why I do what I do. I am fortunate to be surrounded by so many wonderful women who put their hearts and souls into this event. Every year I learn and grow from their experience, knowledge, guidance and friendship!

My oh My Mothers Day!

This years mothers day was a busy one but a great one too!




The day got started with the baptism of my youngest daughter Gracelyn. It was a celebration that welcomed her into the house of the Lord. I wouldn't say this was the most ideal age for this type of ceremony but we made it work. Although Justin and I are not together we are good and are able to still do important family things like this.

Little things were funny in preparing Gracelyn for this day. I was told that her pretty white dress was her "Bless" dress and that when we were shopping for shoes she informed me that they were Jesus Christ Sandals. Hmm?? Um.. I guess I am going with kids say the darnedest things!


Then after the Baptism it was spoil mom rotten day.

 The girls gave my car a good wash and dry. Thank goodness for the sunny weather!

 Then PJ gave me a day of relaxation at Gene Juarez. Yipee!!! So thoughtful and such a sweetie..

 Then the girls have me their special mothers day gifts.  Pottery creations that were personalized and perfected! Their dad took them a while back and it was a complete surprise to me. Thank you Justin!!

 A fun new stylish necklace that Mara picked out for me. It will look so cute with a fun shirt and jeans. Love my daughters taste. This girl can really fashion me up!

Mary Bridge Festival of Trees 2011

Here is the new AWESOME logo for Festival of Trees 2011. The Spirit of Giving is the theme for this year!  I was invited back to be the Gala chair for another year. It is a honor and privilege to be apart of such an awesome event. There is nothing in the world that makes me happier then giving back.

This year we are celebrating 25 years of Festival! How amazing that this event has been carried on for so many years. I am so grateful to be apart of it. I have a great team this year and am looking forward to leading once again.
