We had a wonderful today today!  Jack, Braden, my sister Stacey, Abbey, and I all went to the Phoenix Children’s Museum this morning for a few hours and the kids LOVED it!  The last time we were there was right before Jack got sick so it was fun to go back now that he is doing well.  Braden was just an infant last time and he just had a blast.  He does not sit still and wants to be involved in everything so I had to join them climbing up this huge contraption that they have in the entry of the building and I am not lying when I said that I was out of breath by the time we were done.  Yes, I need to start working out again!

After that we went to lunch and then back home for some more play time outside.  Braden didn’t nap at all so he was sound asleep at 7:00 tonight.  Jack is snuggled up next to me now watching an old Christmas movie but he will be heading off to bed soon as he has school tomorrow morning.  He just loves going to school.  He is only going 2 days a week now but come January we are going to start going 3 days a week and he is very excited about that!

Tomorrow night is the Casino Night benefiting the Jack Morton Foundation and I am so excited to go!  Unfortunately Zac is still working up north so he won’t be there with me, but I am sure it will still be a good time. I am looking forward to meeting all of those who have put this together and want to help us raise awareness for Neuroblastoma.  We are so very thankful for all of you, who we don’t even know yet, who want to help us raise money for research.  We have to find a cure for this.  We will…we have to!

If you are going tomorrow night…see you there!!!

Everything happens for a reason…ummm, no.  I don’t believe that.  There will never be a reason why Jack had cancer.  There will never be a reason why McKenna, Ben, Ava, Mia, Kate and many more are still fighting cancer and there will never be a reason why we have lost so many to cancer.  Never. People come in to your life for a reason….now that is something that I believe.  I believe that Jack and Braden were given to Zac and I for a reason.  We have met many people over the past couple of years that we may have never had the opportunity to meet before and I think there was a reason for that and recently I have once again been reminded of that.

We have an exciting week coming up for Jack’s Foundation.  On Thursday, there will be a Casino night benefiting the Jack Morton Foundation!  The event is hosted by Chuck and Cheri Knoblauch as well as Nove’.  We will post the flyer below.  We are very excited that they chose Jack’s Foundation to be a part of this event!  Thank you so very much!!! It should be a very fun night…

I also spoke with a new friend today about a future fundraiser that will will be doing in March.  I think that sometimes you are in the right place at the right time and that is where you meet the people that you are supposed to meet.  I don’t want to give away the details but we are so very thankful that this very funny person wants to help us raise awareness for Neuroblastoma and help raise money to find a cure!!

Tonight I spoke with another special someone who is friends with Zac and what he wants to do for the Foundation is just amazing.  Him, his family, his company has been more than supportive of our family and we are so thrilled for what he wants to include Jack’s Foundation in on!

I know this all sounds very vague, but  it will all come together soon and we can share it all with you.  I just want to say thank you to these special people who have gone out of there way to help us.  Not just those who I have metioned today, but all of you who have gone about and beyond to show your support.  You have no idea what it means to us and I am not sure we can ever thank you enough.

Now…I just want to let you know that, again, I am doing updates to the website so I am sorry if there are links that are down.  It will all be up soon!  Promise!!
