Fundraiser Blessing


THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

During these past couple weeks, I have been trying to come up with the right words to express our gratitude towards the support we received through our Fall Fundraiser . 

Conclusion, there is not a single word to describe our sincere thankfulness. 

Nick's Brother, Matt and his wife Elizabeth, put a lot of hard work and love into this party. 
Elizabeth, had beautiful decorations and the most delicious food prepared. 
She can easily be described as a gracious person. 
Thank you!!!!

Beautiful garage for our food line.


Just a couple of the many food and kitchen help. Thanks ladies for all your help!






Our Welcome table with information and delicious caramel corn.

Nick's sister, Terri, helped me welcome our guests the entire day. She also made all the caramel corn (which was A LOT). 

Thank you Terri for all your hard work and for your help! 
We appreciate you!




On October 20, the Lord gave us a beautiful day to celebrate our adoption.






Many of you, our family and friends and even complete strangers, showed up for tons of food and fun. We were so humbled as we greeted each of you. 




Thanks Bob for helping!

My sweet niece, Alaya
























We had come fun activities like......
balloon dart game (thanks Terri!)


 Carnival type games
Nick's Mom bought goody bags and prizes for all the kids. When they finished playing a game, they could fill up their bags with trinkets and candy. 

Nick made this barn rope swing. Tons of fun!

Nick also made a couple of these climbing ladders. 
Such a handy man!

 Playhouse and swing set

 Barrel train ride. 
My handsome husband having fun driving. 
Love you honey!

Hay rides 


 This inflatable obstacle course was the main attraction for both adults and kids. 





My lovely husband being a kid and LOVING it!!!










We were able to capture the entire day through a friend of mine. Kelsi gave of her time to come and photograph the events of the day. Not an easy task but she did a fabulous job! 
Thank you for your kindness and support!


This fundraiser was a huge success!!! 

It exceed our expectations.  
Yes, adoption is expensive but we know that God has a plan. 

Through your generous giving and loving support we raised almost $6,000! 

Wow, our God sure is amazing!

Our family is so blessed!
Nick and I are blown away by all the love, encouraging cards, financial donations and promises of prayer. Thank you!
