L-R Top Row; Alex was sampling the butterceam icing that I had made for th ecupcakes.
                    Dr. Coloso is talking to Alex and Alex is showing him his leg. Why? I do not know.

L-R Second Row; Alex and Becky. She is a Respitory Therapist and she took care of Alex while he was in the hospital.
                          Alex and Dr. Coloso. I think Alex kept moving. That would explain why his eyes were closed.

Every year on Alex's birthday we take cupcakes to Dr. Coloso and his staff. It is the least I could do for helping save his life. Plus, I know they enjoy watching him thrive and grow.
 
 
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 my son Alex and I spent some time helping the March of Dimes at the Jail and Bail fundraiser in Fort Smith, AR. Alex's story was displayed on every table that the callers were sitting at. I also had the opportunity to speak with a few of the callers about Alex and his prematurity. But I must confess I spent a majority of the time chasing Alex around the resturant. I guess two year olds really do not like to sit still. Sigh! By the end of the event my legs were killing me from wearing high heels and chasing him. Thank you to everyone who help entertain and chase him!

I would like to thank Lonestar Steakhouse for hosting this event for the second year. The food was great and so was the service. Thank you for everyone who gave of their time to help raise funds for the March of Dimes. The money raised helps fight prematurity, birth defects, and low birth weight, It is their hope that one day all babies will be born healthy.
 
 
Thank you to Barbera Jean Limited for hosting Charity Week. Each day they showcased fashions and a percentage of the proceeds for that day would benefit a charity that has been preselected. On this particular day the American Heart Association was the featured charity.

I had the oppurtunity to model with Amberlee Haymon and Miss Arkansas Tressa Horton.
