This past Friday we did an Indian Taco fundraiser. My cousin LeighAn has been wanting to do a fundraiser for us for some time now. We finally got all the details worked out and got it accomplished. My uncle Jamiel who worked at Head Country Restaurant donated all of the toppings for the tacos and the girls did the meat and bread. We did a lunch delivery and setup to sell for dinner. My cousin's Laura, LeighAn and their good friend Troyce worked on making the tacos for the lunch deliveries while my awesome brother worked hard to deliver all of the tacos. He delivered around 66 to my school, Daniel's work, Carmart, Head Country Sauce Plant and Restaurant and Holiday Inn. My aunt Jennifer works at Carmart and they allowed us to setup in the parking lot Friday evening to sell the tacos. They even fixed us a sign to set out by the street to help get more sells. Cody, Star, Daniel and I worked on selling the tacos while Laura was the middle man delivering the bread that LeighAn and Troyce were cooking. We had people sharing our post all over facebook and posting pictures with the tacos they had bought. Some people that bought for lunch came back for dinner and bought more. We had such a great turn out. We eventually ran out of chili and only had fry bread left and we sold out of that quickly! By the time all was said and done we raised $1036 from selling the tacos and a few donations!! We are so thankful to the many people that played a role in helping with this fundraiser... LeighAn and Laura for helping get the meat & bread and all they did, Troyce for cooking the bread, Cody for delivering the lunch tacos and helping with dinner (I'm so proud of my brother for his help!), my uncle Jamiel for donating the toppings and all his help, my aunt Melissa for letting us use her canopy, Holiday Inn for letting us use the tables, all the businesses that bought tacos for lunch, Star and Jennifer for helping with dinner, Carmart for letting us setup in their parking lot, all the people who bought tacos and shared our post. I really hope I'm not forgetting someone!! Just know that this fundraiser was very much appreciated!! I've had SEVERAL people ask if we will be doing it again...I will let you know if we do! LeighAn got so many compliments on her bread, she should be proud!!
Our Bling Fundraiser raised $355! We are blessed that Jennifer Culp was able to do this fundraiser for us and give some of her profits out of her pocket. This is the second Bling Fundraiser we have done for the adoption with Jennifer. The first one we raised $275. Thank you ladies who came to the party, purchased jewelry or held a show! We appreciate your support!!
Our puzzle fundraiser is still going strong. We have sold a total of 808 pieces out of 1000! We do not have many left! Pieces are $10 each. We will write your name on the back and once all pieces have been sold we will frame the puzzle in double sided glass and hang in the nursery. More information about the puzzle fundraiser can be found here,

We were contacted on Friday from our agency about a birth mother possibly looking at our profile. We would appreciate your prayers this week! We know in God's time we will have the perfect baby for our family. We are being patient and taking each day at a time.
