Last Saturday night, my whole family went out to support Erin (and my brother Ryan) at an event they hosted to raise money for Breast Cancer. WOW! What a party! The time, skills, resources, creativity they put into this event was I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E! They truly created an atmosphere of "giving" for a great cause. It really is admirable when you see people working hard to help others. I can see how important raising awareness and funds is to them... and really, to all of us! Praying for a CURE!
Here is lucky Nix with the Hostess, Erin. :)
Here's a picture without his "fake" smile. :)
Brian Christie, from KUSI News was the MC
Nixon was the tiki-torch observer :)
Nixon was the tiki-torch observer :)
But his MAIN job was playing with the band! :) They had an extra cajon (the red boxdrum) they put up front for Nixon to play. Every time the band went up to play another set, you betcha', Nix would stop what he was doing (even if it meant giving up his CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE!!!) to join the guys up front! :) Believe it or not, Nixon actually has rhythm! You should check out the music: Mario Olivares. This week Mario stopped by my dad's office and brought the cajon Nixon was playing with, and wants Nixon to have it! That means, music lessons here we come! :)Not only was it a fun night, but it was a success! They raised over 7,700$ dollars! Stay tuned, Erin's work is not over. She will be walking 60miles, the weekend of Nov. 20-22nd, to honor those we have lost to Breast Cancer, and to support Breast Health.

AWESOME!!!!! Such an amazing cause and Hoorary for raising so much money!!! Looks like it was an incredible event! We'll be praying for Erin on her walk and continued success in finding a cure!!!
I love that Nix now has his own cajon! I tell you these boys will start their own band some day!!! :) xo
Wow, I can't believe they did all that themselves. Does Erin know someone who died of cancer or has she just taken on the cause? That is fabulous they raised so much money that night!
