Please read the letter below for more info on the contest we are trying to win for Avery! Don't forget to vote by writing a comment on youTube every day and giving us 5 stars!!
To our family and friends
Most of you are aware of our daughter, Avery, who suffers from a chronic skin condition that affects her daily life. She has been through numerous doctors and treatments and we have yet to find any relief for her. She lives day and night with intense itching and pain which has resulted into open wounds over 95% of her body. The only treatment that we have found to have any affect is to soak her in the tub and apply ointments and wet wraps all over her body 2-3 times daily. If you have ever had an opened cut or scraped knee and taken a shower, you can relate to the sting and burn that is associated with it. So, having this all over her body, one can only imagine the amount of pain she goes through every time she is subjected to water. After months of extreme flare-ups and multiple skin infections, we found a treatment center out of state that we feel will be able to help.
Recently, my sister Cathy posted a video on YouTube of her cute twins in the Lashes to Riches Contest. The video receiving the most votes by Dec. 21st 2009, wins the prize money. If successful, Cathy graciously offered to use her winnings to help pay for the cost of Avery's treatments.
So, now we are asking for your help - please vote daily and forward an email on to everyone you know and encourage them to do the same until the end of the contest. We appreciate any time that you will be taking from your busy day to help win this for Avery. You have no idea the difference this could make in her quality of life. We got a late start in the contest, so we need to spread the word fast. To get started simply;

My Little Cowboy & Indians!
Happy Halloween!! I think it is safe to say we are all partied out!! We have had three straight days of non-stop Halloween parties and as fun as it's been, I'm ready for a break! As you can see, we did Cowboy and Indians this year. I found the twins costumes early on and it took a little convincing for Dresden, but after I told him he was not doing Star Wars 3 years in a row and I promised a rope and mustache he was in! We had a fun night Trick-or-Treating with friends and hitting our favorite houses we go to every year!
Dresden's School Halloween Parade and Program
I got the twins all dressed up so we could go watch Dresden in his school Halloween Parade and Program. Dresden and his class looked so adorable up on the stage singing the Halloween Songs they have been practicing all month. A few hours later we took the kids in costume to Chad's work for their Annual Halloween Kids Party.

Pumpkin Heads!
I decided this is the perfect way to do pumkins!! If you haven't seen them they are just like potato heads, only with pumpkins! They are so easy and best of all there is NO mess! Plus, if you have a little girl who is scared of everything that has to do with Halloween, the princess pumpkin head is perfect!!
