On Saturday, all of us Walters headed up to the park for a special dinner. It was a memorial dinner in honor of dearest friend Kevin. This dinner was very important to Nick, so therefore it was important to the boys and I. Nick played a key role in making the event happen and let me tell you that it was a HUGE success. Not just a success with the amount of money they raised, but with the amount of love and support from all who were touched by Kevin throughout his short life. I am so proud of Nick's hard work/dedication and I am sure Kevin would just as proud.
During the dinner there was a silent auction with many different items to bid on. Nicholas wanted to play the bidding game, so I let him jump in. He had his eye on a Pampered Chef Kids basket which Tia ended up winning. He also was bidding on a STL Cardinals themed basket (donated by our very own Aunt Jaycie and Uncle Randy) and some sports memorabilia (rams t-shirt, Cardinals hat, and an autographed baseball by Ted Sizemore. Apparently, in 1969 he was named NL Rookie of the Year.) Well, he is quite the bidder because we won the Cardinals basket and sports stuff. He was so excited to hear that he had won it when they announced the winners!

We all know that Nicholas is not one to be outdone! He sure was excited.
And Nick, I could not have been more proud of you! What a great bunch of friends you have, and what a good friend you are! It was a wonderful event -- just sad to remember why we were there.
Sure is a nice looking basket ;) Anyway, is Nick going to take Nicholas to the game? Randy and Jackson are planning on going that night too!! It sure was a great night, wish it was for another reason....
