Mommy's First Night Out/Comal County Parade

Tuesday, September 21st was the 16th annual "For the Love of Kids and Harleys" charity event at Cowboys Dance Hall in San Antonio.  For those of you who are not familiar, my husband is the event coordinator and also the secretary/treasurer for the event.  Every year he pours his heart and soul into making this a successful evening for the five local childrens' charities this event focuses on: YMCA, St. Jude's Ranch, San Antonio Sports, and Easter Seals.  It's a very big deal to me to be there to support my husband in his efforts and this year was no different.  Even though I had a baby 2.5 weeks before the event, I knew I had to find a way to be there.  Luckily, my mother and step-father were very excited to come up and babysit Millie on Tuesday evening so I could attend the event.  It was hard leaving my angel for the first time but I knew she was in amazing hands so it made it a little easier. 

This year's event was very different for me than in years past.  To put it in perspective, last year we partied until 5:00 AM with our good friend Stoney LaRue who performed that evening...



...and this year I only took two pictures and was home by 10:30 to be with my daughter...


Although this year was very tame for me, I still had the time of my life.  This event is so wonderful because it brings together ALL of my friends from all over New Braunfels and San Antonio.  Not to mention my little sister came this year to hang out with me and keep me company when I had to go to my car to pump! 

All in all, the charity raised over $150,000 for the charities and Trevor did an amazing job as always.  I'm so very proud of him and all the hard work he puts into this event each year!

Yesterday was Millie's three week birthday and oh what an eventful day we had!  We started it off by taking her to the Comal County parade.  I was nervous about how she would handle all the loud noise from the crowd, fire trucks, sirens, and high school marching bands but she just slept in the Moby Wrap the whole time!  She was awesome! 

 Happy 3 week birthday!
Parade day with the Sniders!

Happy family
