Step Up Walk 2009!

Today we participated in the Step Up and Walk for Down Syndrome event at Arrowhead Stadium and we showed support for the team Alayna and L.C. Boom Boom Cannon Ball. WOW!! What a wonderful fundraising event. They had so many fun activities going on for kids of all ages and Dan and I couldn't believe all of the people who came out to show support.

Alaina was so excited, because she finally got to meet the famous L.C. in person. We spend a couple times a week looking at her blog and Alaina always says, "AWW! She's so cute!" L.C. and Alayna's family did a wonderful job including all of us and they were great hosts.


Little Celebs! Alayna and L.C.'s absolutely adorable little tutu outfits captured KCTV 5 news attention that they stopped their moms to interview them. Alayna was taking in the moment and L.C. was ready to take the microphone and tell everyone all about herself. She knew how to handle the stardom and didn't have stage fright!


L.C. showing off her adorable tutu and Boom Boom shirt. She's such a little cutie! When I pointed out L.C.'s adorable outfit Alaina saw her and said, "Mommy I like it!"


We were trying so hard to get a picture of the three kiddos and it wasn't easy. Karis and Samuel really did a great job and if you look you don't see their mothers squatting behind them to make them sit still and look at the camera.


Samuel was set for the ride. He had his pretzels and he was good to go for the mile walk!


Jamee was gracious enough to let Alaina ride with Karis in their wagon and Alaina LOVED riding with her buddy for the big walk!


Alaina and Karis laughed at eachother the whole way. By the end though Karis was just looking at Alaina like, "I'm too tired to laugh anymore, but you go ahead and laugh your little head off!" It was so adorable to see their little friendship up close.
