On Thursday night Hunter's friend Amari and his mom Kiki came over and joined us for dinner. Then the boys rocked out on the Guitar Hero for a while. I was falling over laughing while they put on a show for us. It was soooo cute! I mean cool. So cool! Hunter hates when I use the word "cute" in reference to him.
On Saturday, the Eagles organization had a fundraiser at Applebee's. We served pancakes and sausage and ended up making about $1,000 to go towards our organization account. It was a ton of fun and we had a GREAT turn out.
Saturday evening we headed to Hayden's 6th birthday party at Laser Quest. Hunter had a blast playing laser tag. Grace--not so much. She was going to go in and do it with me, but she got scared when she saw how dark it was in there. So, she just hung out playing limbo and catching up with old friends while Hunter played laser tag.
So, now I've got some sad news that I want to share with all of you. On Friday afternoon, a little boy that had played flag football with the Eagles last year, died in a tragic accident. His cousin Gabbi is on Grace's drill team and his cousin Manuel is on Hunter's team. The little boy, who was seven and attended the same school as Hunter, was at his teenage sister's softball game playing around in his dad's truck. The truck began to roll backwards and he got scared and jumped out of it. The truck rolled over him and he died from the injuries he sustained. The family did not have life insurance on him so The Dylan Stevens Memorial Fund has been set up at Colonial Bank in Mesquite to help off set costs the family is now facing. I have also organized for meals to be delivered to the family through the end of this week. Please keep the Salazar and Stevens families in your thoughts and prayers this week. They could sure use any good vibes that you have to spare.
