Those of you who helped us out with the yard sale and fundraiser this last weekend need to know how grateful we are to have the best friends in the world! The HUGE success of the weekend could not have happened without all of you (and the little angels who brought people to the sale all day). Aside from the money gathered in, the thing that meant the most to us was all of the people who showed their support of our efforts. Truly a humbling experience.
Everyone from the family was able to help out in some form or fashion. Brandie and Brinley were the two who did the most work, without question. Brandie, Heidi Perry, Angie Peterson, Anne Oswald (no blood relation, but she IS family!), April and Kielli Satchwell, Britney Howell, Leslie McDougal, and Melissa Beswick manned the sale and cash registers. Brinley, Ashton Peterson, Walker Peterson, and Gage manned the baked goods sale cash register. While McCall Peterson was painting kids faces at the the face painting booth. We had some baked items donated, but Brinley actually stayed home from school on Friday to bake ALL DAY so many yummy treats - she was so excited to see her hard work pay off and know that she'll be able to use the money to feed hungry children!
Here are some photos from the weekend. All in all, we made just over $2,000!!! That means we'll be able to donate right at $1,000 to our charities that will feed hungry bellies! What a huge blessing! Thank you to everyone who helped out. We hope you felt the same spirit of service we did over the weekend! May God bless your efforts and good intentions!


Jason, I can't tell you how proud I am of you and your family. It is really emotional for that to come together right at Easter time. You are really steping up and emulating what the Savior taught. It is really fun to see things come together for your family and ours as well. What a wonderful teaching tool for your family! This will impact the kids the rest of your lives. I know Mighty and Agbesi are so fortunate to be able to come into our family, we will learn from them as well. You know that I love the children with all my heart and it is funny that no matter how many we get, there is always room for more. I love you son!,, Mom
