So I guess I looked and the last time I wrote was the day after the Heart Ball on Ethin's birthday. So let's start with the Heart Ball. We hosted the 2nd Annual Ethin's Heart Still Beats Heart Ball on January 8, 2011 here in Newaygo. What an amazing night!!! We started setting up the night before so we were ready on Saturday when everyone would be arriving.
The Welcome table
A table dedicated to Ethin and EHSB
A trifold board of everything EHSB has done since Ethin passed away
The hall before it was fullAnd boy did it pay off. The night started with an amazing dinner prepared by our chefs Scottie and Tony!!!
Throught dinner we had fun with the auction and after dinner we presented the managers from Wendy's of Newaygo with a plaque for helping collect blankets for the Cuddles From the Heart blanket drive.
This is a pic of the Wendy's crew that were there. Me, April, Kandi, and Terri
From there we introduced the Guest speaker Dr. Mark Russell one of Ethin's cardiologists from U of M Mott Children's Hospital.
After he gave his tear jerking speech we took a picture. Dr. Russell is very near and dear to my heart and I am so glad that he was able to come down and speek.
The night included a memory waltz again. I was able to dance with an amazing partner this year Fred Hoffman. And we rocked it! However I was very afraid I was going to fall on my face! LOL
Yeppers I was scared he would drop me just cuz it would have been funny! LOL
Then his girlfriend Brenda and him gave waltzing lessons to everyone. It was fun, but clearly not for everyone! LOL
After the Waltzing lessons there was some time to just dance and have fun!
So just so we are clear yes this would Phil my Best friend and clearly this was my favorite dance of the night!
Yeah he is pretty awesome and good looking and charming, and well I kinda dig him!So here are just some more pics from the night enjoy!!!

And the Grand Net Total of the ball this year was just over $1300 so it was clearly a great success!! Thank you to all of the auction donors, the local support, friends, family, and of course the inspiration Ethin!
The theme of the ball this year was the difference of a heart and all I can say is these warriors and Angels there hearts make a difference!

After the game the Amador's and the autographed ball from the game they won it!
Me with the autographed ball during the meet and greet with all the players from both teams. I am so proud of these boys!
In the last year since the last game I have gotten to know some of the players that played last year. This years game was much more emotional for me, because of this. Zach Franks played for the second year for Tommy Schomaker and I have gotten to know Zach so knowing this was his last year to play was hard. Next year for the game he won't be there. Eric VanDam also was a second year player for Lindsay Groen. For me the boys of the Newaygo Lions Varsity basketball game have so much heart and they are truly hereos to me.
The next part of this is about the game and the player that played for Ethin. Ethin was represented by #21 and the jersey was wore by sophmore Conor Bradley. There was no rhyme or reason to choosing Conor to play in memory of Ethin except the fact that he was a sophmore and I thought it would be really neat to have the same young man play for Ethin a few years in a row. Conor and I met a month ago briefly when I talked to the whole team. Since that time Conor's twin sister and I have also met and I have met his parents too. Conor gives me a hug when he sees me now like many of the other boys that played last year and this year and he completely embraced the oppurtunity to play for Ethin. He said he was honored to do so. I look forward to sowing him support in his varsity endeavors. He is an amazing young man. Thank You Conor!! It was honor to watch you play so hard for Ethin!!
Conor was great with my kiddos and he held Jayde for this picture! Thank you!!
What a full update!!! Love you all and have missed you all so much!!
