Jubilee of Trees: Rylee's First Concert

The Jubilee of Trees started this week. This is always a great event to start the holiday season. It is full of Christmas trees, music, and fun activities. This year's charity concert was Colin Raye on Saturday night. If you don't know this about me I am a huge fan of his. Whenever he comes close to St George I try my hardest to attend. This year's event is no different, except that all monies raised goes to the NICU at Dixie Regional Medical Center. This is another place that holds a special place in our hearts. Grandma JeanAnn also came down and she had an extra ticket.



Yeah, My First Concert.




Rylee came along as Grandma's date. She had a good time other than having to wait in line forever (general admission seating), loud music (Mom's music), and late hours (lasted until 10:30). I asked her if she wanted to go to another concert. She replied not for awhile, a long while.


Ryder's NICU Poster...Graduate of 2007


He was lucky enough to be selected for his year. The 28 days he was there they had approx 30 babies in the NICU.

Ryder was one of the first babies to use the "Cadilac Bed" in our NICU.



Oh, Christmas Tree...Dad's Tree


Dave again this year helped design and make decorations for the Foundation's Tree. Three designers did a really good job.

Two more days for this awesome event.

I am grateful for two ears to hear the music I love. The great people who give of their time and money to attend these events. The wonderful medical professionals we have here in Southern Utah and their willingness to serve and love their patients.

What a wonderful charity to support! NICUs have a special place in our heart as well. NICUs are places filled with wonderful doctors and nurses. Robyn also spent time in a "cadillac bed".
