March for Babies 2010

Today was the big day...and it couldn't have gone any better. The weather was perfect and, of course, our amazing team was PERFECT! There were 26 members of "TEAM WILCOX" that showed up to support our little ambassador...26!!!!! It was so incredible. That is all Aaron and I talked about on the way home; how lucky Ayson is to have such a wonderful group of people who love him. Everyone looked great in the team shirts :)

The Bartlesville March for Babies walk is held at Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve...such a cool place for this event! We walked past llamas, longhorn cattle, donkeys, buffaloes, ostriches, and one horrible snake (which we did not enjoy seeing,) thankfully he wasn't interested in us! But, the highlight for us was Ayson being introduced as the ambassador...we definitely got that "proud parent" feeling. We were honored to be able to share Ayson's story with everyone in attendance, knowing they all had probably gone through something similar.

Through all of your support, we were able to be the top fundraising family team! We raised almost $2000! And we were also the top family team with the most members walking! Ayson got a really cool plaque with his name on it, which he immediately put in his mouth...what else would you do with an award besides chew on it :)

So here goes our list of Thank You's! First to our walkers...Cathy, Wiley, Doug, Sharon, Robin, Bruce, Abbey, Angela, Jesse, Gavin, Theaden, Jennifer, Michael, Kierslynn, Dorothy, Ronnie, Hal, Neva, Joe, JoAnne, Gage, Maria & Marilyn. Thank you so much for making this day extra special for us. Having all of you there meant so much. I'm getting a little teary eyed just thinking about it ;)

And to everyone who donated...Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Each of you helped us surpass our goal, beyond what we ever expected. Thanks for sponsoring Ayson, and donating your money for a cause that will help the tiniest miracles get the best start possible.

So now for the pictures...there is a lot! Sorry, but I just couldn't narrow them down. So, enjoy! And, I'm sure there will be more in the coming days because there were lots of paparazzi there today snapping away:) To our walkers...we can't wait to see your pics! Please email your favs so we can put them on the blog :)
