See the green shoe on the right sidebar? Do you? I am walking On Nov 1. to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes.

READ ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR THE SPECIAL OFFER!

JD, the son of a friend of mine was diagnosed with Type 1, Juvenile Diabetes, in January 2005. Since then his family has walked in the annual Walk to Cure Diabetes. I have walked 2 of the 3 times (I have a good excuse to miss the one, I was 7.5 months pregnant... with Twins.)Well, guess what? It's that time of year again when we gear up for the JDRF annual Walk to Cure Diabetes. The walk is Saturday, November 1.Since his diagnosis in 2005, JD has made great strides in controlling his diabetes. He is insulin dependent and has been on pump therapy for 3 years and it hasn't slowed him down a bit. He has continued to participate in gymnastics, soccer and baseball. JD was even able to attend golf camp and spend a week with his grandparents this summer.Along with his family, I am dedicated to helping find a cure for JD and the best way is through the annual walk. Last year our team, JD's All-Stars, increased and we were able to exceed our team goal! This year, we would like to at least match that amount of $3000!! You can join the effort by clicking here and sending a tax deductible donation via credit card. I also have the button on the right of my blog. I have set my personal goal at $200.00

Here are a couple pictures of JD and Delaney

For every $5 you donate between now and Oct. 15, I will enter your name into a drawing for The Jonas Brothers CD "A Little Bit Longer". Why this CD? Nick Jonas was diagnosed with Type 1, Juvenile Diabetes about 3 years ago. The song "A Little Bit Longer" is a song he wrote about his fight with this disease (The lyrics are on the side bar of my blog in the heart).

I will enter the names in to a random generator to pick a winner.

I can't believe I forgot the Jonas Brothers!!

Sorry Jessica!! With all the excitement that has gone on in our house the past few days, I completely forgot to blog about our night at the Jonas Brothers concert!! I will start by saying that I have NEVER been in one place with so many screaming girls (not even when I took Chris to NKOTB 12 years ago!)! Thank goodness it was an outdoor venue.

So back to the point....Last Thursday night we went to see Jonas Brothers. We went with our neighbors (Dorrie, Breanne and Bethany). The Jo Bros (as Breanne was calling them) were playing with Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato. I had never heard of Demi before, but every girl there had since she was in the Disney movie Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers.

Anyway, we were sitting pretty far back on the grass, but here are a few pictures of the evening.

Demi and The Brothers

The Jonas Brothers!!

not sure who the big guy is in the last two pictures, but everyone else was extremely excited to see him! lol

Now I must tell you that I now have favorite Jonas Brother! I know, kinda creepy for a 30-something mother of 5, but it is true. Nick Jonas! 3 years ago he was diagnosed with type 1 Juvinile Diabetes. As some of you know, I have walked to cure Juvinile Diabetes for the son of a friend of mine who what also diagnosed about 3 years ago. Anyway, Nick wrote (and sang at the concert) a song about his fight with this horrible disease. I will admit, I was in tears then and cried again when I listened to it on the Internet (the album is not yet out) and when I read the lyrics. Here is a picture of him singing this song. So completely vulnerable!

The name of the song is "A Little Bit Longer (You Don't even Know)"

Which is also the name of the new album being released 8/12

Not sure if it will show up, but here is a link to the YouTube
