Ryanne Going to Nationals

We got the results from the Endeavor Games and Ryanne qualified for nationals in four events! The 60m, the javelin, the softball throw and the shot put. The P.L.A.Y. Foundation is so humbled to sponsor her.

She just missed qualifying in the 400m. She got 3.46 and the qualifying time of 3.30. She was a little disappointed until she realized that the kiddos competing in the 400m are a year older than she is. Keep up the good work!

P.L.A.Y. Foundation Sponsors Ryanne

If you think your having a bad day, let this precious gem
put a smile on your face! P.L.A.Y. Foundation sent 6 year old Ryanne (adopted from Kazakhstan), to OKC this past weekend to participate in the Endeavor Games!

She is such an inspiration. On her way back from the games, she called to let me know that she had received 4 GOLD medals. I can't tell you how excited I was for her. She was so proud of herself which makes it all worth everything that goes into P.L.A.Y. Foundation. Congratulationss Ryanne!

Love,
Jen

Birthday Celebration & A Little Help from my Friends

Hi Everyone!! I'm a year older and feel younger since I last posted. In a time long, long ago during the month of June.....One of my brothers, Matt, and I were both born 3 days apart (and a few years). We celebrated our events together this weekend.

Since age is just a number and has nothing to do with state of mind....we chose to celebrate the coolness of the 70's :-). We had a blast on Sat night going back in time! This first pic was Nick and I pre-party, then Matt & I "in the moment". I had no idea how clothing can change people. The family & friends that usually dance on the inside were not only dancing on the outside, a few tables got some action too.

My sister-in-law, hubby & family put in a lot of work this past weekend and it makes it so special! Everyone made the evening so much fun. Thank you for everything! The only thing I hate is that my dancin' skills are a bit revised now that I have Fred & Ginger. I think I was meant to just shake my hips anyway :)

LITTLE HELP FROM FRIENDS: So, I was at the store this morning and as I was checking out, the lady behind me says "Honey, can I help tuck in your tag?" Apparently, I had a fashion glitch and was walking around with my shirt tag sticking out. I, of course, jumped on it and said yes then preceded to tell her that I appreciated it. The funny part was that I was somewhat struggling with my grocery bag but all she noticed was my tag....I guess it's all about priorities, right. At least I looked good while struggling :)

Peace,
Jen

Flying for P.L.A.Y.

A few more pictures from the helicopter ride at the fundraiser! We all had a great time and we hope for another one next year. Thank you to everyone involved and for playing hard!

Serving 4 P.L.A.Y.

What a great day on the Tennis courts! Serves should have started at 9 but due to a little rain that had a mind of its own, the courts got a bath while we watched, ate and had an auction. We even had raffle tickets for a fantastic helicopter ride. Nothing like seeing the new Cowboys Stadium from a hovering helicopter!







We finally got started playing around 11 with sun and great food. We had a lot of fun and look forward to a bigger event next year!
