Saddle Up!

Every May my parents donate countless hours, and immeasurable energy to a charity event called Saddle Up for St. Jude. They collect donations for dinner, breakfast, and an auction. They also do a horse ride that my dad leads. I make a Better Than Sex Cake every year for the dinner. My mom and Sharon make cakes as well and over see the auction. I know there is way more that they do, but that is all I can think of right at this moment. All the proceeds go to St. Jude Research Hospital.

It's a lot of work, but I think it's one of the highlights of their year. It also falls on their anniversary weekend every year. My dad stops toward the end of the ride and picks wildflowers and ties it with a horse hair for my mom. My dad has never bought my mom flowers, but I think these bouquets are better anyway. :) So Happy 33rd anniversary Mom and Dad. I love you guys. You are the best!

Here are a couple pictures of the kids up on the mountain for the event...
