Sanborn's 5th Annual Fundraiser

So! This year, I was the chairman for Sanborn's 5th Annual Fundraiser. Dinner, Auction and Golf Tournament. Boy howdy....if I didn't coordinate another event like that for 15 years, that would be too soon! As much as I love doing that type of stuff, working with volunteers is quite a challenge. However, it turned out wonderful! Complete from a sold out golf tournament (the first time in school history), to a helicopter ball drop..winner taking 50/50...a sold out dinner (they ran out of room for us at Ocotillo Golf Resort), and over 130 items in the silent auction; I'd say this event was a success..even if I did want to throw it over the side of the Grand Canyon! We raised over $16,000 for the kids' school, we fulfilled our goal..and then some, and we had a really great time that day/night!

Mother's Day!

Conal always allows me the most fabulous Mother's Day! It's a day of rest, relaxation and doing whatever I want. I chose to take the kids swimming at Mesquite Groves, enjoy an awesome dinner...and an even better dessert! He made it all by himself :)

2010-2011 Running Club Comes to An End

Hayden signed up for running club because she wanted to participate in the swim party at the end of the school year. What we didn't know when attending our first RC meeting back in October, was that we actually had a good little runner on our hands! She had a lot of fun...even though there were races where her little ol' self was exhausted, she still finished, and finished hard! Hayden had 5 races and placed 3rd three times, 2nd once and 4th once. We also didn't know that the swim party was going to be held on a cold day in May after the heater was already turned off at the pool. Brrr!! Here are just a few more pics from this years RC season!
