About 2 years ago my husband decided to purchase a Harley Davidson Sportster. After lots of money and about a year of riding it, he decided to trade it in for a Harley Davidson Road King (which is much bigger and more comfortable for those long rides).
Last year was our first opportunity to ride our motorcycle for the Miracle Ride. The children at Riley Hospital eagerly anticipate the Miracle Ride and the arrival of more than 7,000 motorcycles outside the hospital. Throughout the year, thousands of Indiana's most seriously sick and injured children benefit from the funds raised through this event.
Since 1994, the Miracle Ride presented by Bob & Tom, the Indianapolis Colts and Lucas Oil has donated an incredible $1.7 million to Riley kids. The funds you raise this year will help children from every county in Indiana who travel to Riley to receive life-changing and often life-saving treatment in the pediatric burn unit and pulmonology program.
You too can participate in this wonderful event by making a donation (large or small ... every penny counts) at www.firstgiving.com/ridinforkidz
The Miracle Ride is a 2 day event on May 30th & 31st, but donations will be taken until August.
I really appreciate all donations. Stay tuned for pictures from the event.
Thank you so much! Riley Hospital for Children appreciate every penny donated.

A trip to Disney World
So we decided to take our kids to Disney World for Spring break. We drove....I hated it. The ride was so long! We stopped about 100 miles south of Atlanta and stayed in a hotel. We arrived at All Star Sports Resort at about 1pm and our room was ready to go. Since half the day was over we decided to unpack everything and venture off to Downtown Disney & Paradise Island (we had to visit the Orlando Harley Davidson)! The nightlife at Downtown Disney was awesome.
The next day Zackery woke up with a rash on his face, ears and neck area. I'm guessing it was from a new shirt he was wearing (this must be why they ask you to wash them before you wear them) so I had to go down to the shopping area at our resort and get some Benadryl cream. That stuff works wonders! We got ready and went to Hollywood Studios. All the grass was so green and the flowers were bloomed - it was so pretty. We had a blast at the park. The kids made me shed a little tear though because all they wanted to do was go back to the resort and swim! If they only knew how fortunate they were to be in such a wonderful place.
Then....getting ready to go to another park on a different day, Katie decides to fall and trip over some of the landscaping that was so beautifully done. She cut her head open on the concrete, we had to call the paramedics.....yeah, nicely done. She now has a scar down the middle of her forehead that looks just like her moms! ~ She is okay though...They might have put a stitch or 2 in it, but we just closed it up and stuck triple antibiotic ointment on it and a bandaid and we went on our way! (She seemed to be fine)
And not to bore everyone but we of course went to all the other parks. The weather was so nice. It was a little humid one day, but nothing we couldnt handle. The last day we were there it rained and rained and didnt seem to want to stop so we decided to start the long long long drive back. We stopped off in Kentucky and made it back home on Saturday about 1pm.
Next time we are flying!
I have been trying to get Lester to go to Disney World for so long and he thought it would be so boaring and he wouldnt like it. Well, when he finally "gave in" because I couldnt let it go after so many years...we finally went and he loved it. We will definatly go back. I feel so glad and furtunate we are able to do the things we do as a family and the things we can do for our children.
There is no possible way I can put all my pictures on here, but here are a few I would love to share with you.
