Heart walk

The Intermountain Healing Hearts organization puts on a walk every year to spread awareness of CHD (which is congenital heart disease, we had a few that learned that today!)I was really wanting to go but thought with surgery we wouldn't make it so i had asked my family if they would try and go. Well turns out, i got to go! I'm so glad we did it, it was very tender. They did the walk, it was 1 mile, then they had a group picture, an angel ceremony where they let butterflies go for each fallen heart hero and then a drawing for prizes. The best was the butterflies. The families of the angels went up and said their childs name then let the butterflies go. One flew right over us and Libbi, i think it was an angel saying hi to her and wishing her luck :) Thanks to everyone who made it, i know it's hard, especially on Saturdays, to take time out of your schedules but it meant alot to me. Kurt and Koy didn't make it, they had soccer :( I wish they could've been there, it was neat. But for those of us that could go, it was worth the time.

Uncle Scott had an idea to take our picture in the shape of a heart. Cute!!


This was just part of the group!! Wow, lots of people!!

Just hangin out in the shade..

Aunt Linda, my mom, me and Aunt Julie all pushing Libbi!!

Some of us walkers..

Jerzi had to hitch a ride on Brock's shoulders.. She was "super tired" after 1/4 a mile!

Some more walkers.. we had a hard time staying together, you should have seen me running all over trying to get everyones pictures!! It was craziness!!

Starting with me and Libbi at the top, clockwise.. Libbi and me, Aunt Netso, Grammy Deana (my mom), Jana and Anna, Brock, Whitnie, Aubree, Jerzi at the point of the heart, Skylee, Allie, Aunt Linda, Tonnie, Uncle Scott, Aunt Julie. Sky's "friend" Chris was also there but he had to get to his football game so he missed this pic. He plays for Weber State :) :) hee hee..

We all wore our Libbi shirts. Our cute friend made us shirts to wear the day Lib has surgery, they say "mend my broken heart" with "Libbi" in the middle. I forgot to take a close up of Libbi wearing hers, i will do that soon! Some of them are a bit different saying "saving little hearts" with "Libbi" in the middle, but they are all so cute!! I will take close ups and get them on here for you to see. Silly me :/
What an awesome day!! Thank you to all those that put this on, can't wait til next year!!
