Great Strides 2016

HELLO FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FANS!

(It has been so long since I have blogged, I had almost forgotten the website and password to The Crosby Show. Which is shameful, because we were so grateful to all of the support we received!)

The Crosby Show was THE TOP FUNDRAISING team this year with over $11,000.00. We were so excited. We had 71 people come out to support us and many more "spirit walkers" who donated.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Before I post the pics from this years walk, I did want tell you that Lance and I will be chairing the 2017 Great Strides!!! Registration is now open, so save the date of MAY 20, 2017 and register here:

The next set of pics are from the awards ceremony where The Crosby Show was recognized as the Top Fundraising Team and the torch was passed from Haskell Anderson (we bow down to the thee!), the chair of the Walk for the past 14 years to Lance and I! Also pictured is Amanda Hodge. Amanda was an integral part of the Foundation, a dear friend, and really just a super special person. She's moved on to another adventure but we appreciate all she did for the Foundation and for our family. Amanda, we love, we'll miss... don't forget about us!!!

Lance and I are really excited about Great Strides 2017 and we hope to see you there. Our little FIGHTER thanks everyone for all the support.

Fall Recap

We have had a busy fall and I thought I would do a picture post to recap what we have been up to.

If fall means football, we've definitely been in the spirit. We've gone to the NLRHS home games and of course not missed a Saturday Hogs game!

 

Crosby can call the hogs and is very into "Football Game." He was a little confused during the World Series and when we corrected him that it was a baseball game on TV, he would say "Base-football Game!"

First donut ever. Clearly a spiritual experience.

Neighboring tailgate had a huge cake on a table. Bad idea on their part. Little hands found the red icing.

Crosby had a good check-up at the CF Clinic. All of his team members were impressed with his appetite and vocabulary! He really does talk all. the. time. My favorite is when he puts his head on my shoulder, then lifts his head, looks me in the eye and says, "Mommy's sweet baby?" Yes, little handsome, you are my sweet baby!

Our friend Addy turned 6 and Crosby went to his first skating party. 

Lance and I had a quick getaway to Savannah. 

The Breath of Life Gala benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was in mid-October. It was the largest Gala yet and such a wonderful evening. I believe the event raised over $175,000 for CF!! Huge thank-you to my friends who donated silent auction items! And thank you to the Aclins for your support - enjoy the dart board and your new closet!

Lance had his wisdom teeth out. I had my phone ready to film him coming off the anesthesia, but really all he did was sign-language.

Happy Halloween from the Smith family: Mugatu, Derek, and Hansel (she's so hot right now). If you haven't seen Zoolander, Netflix that before the sequel comes out. You won't be disappointed. 

This dad is a trooper and I have to give a shout-out to my BFF's costuming skills. Two different parties, same cutie pies!

Max had a very scary werewolf costume and Crosby was terrified of him! Crosby wouldn't get in the trailer for the hayride, so Max had to ride in the back of the pickup for trick-or-treating! 

We took a weekend trip up to see my Uncle Gill on the White River. Crosby mastered his rock throwing there and on at our Buffalo River stop on the way up.

We have had some wonderful family time and I am really looking forward to the Holidays.

Much Love,

Carmen
