Free Weekend? Uh, not so much...

Several weeks ago when I looked at my calendar, I was excited for May 9 and 10 because it was our only free weekend amongst the golf tournament, choir concert, graduation, reunion, camp session, half marathon, birthday party, etc, etc...So what do we do?? Pack it full of activities!! :) Here's a little how our weekend went:

We started off by deciding to have a garage sale with the Byrds. It was much overdue and our garage was full of stuff (junk) we didn't need. Becky came down on Thursday morning and helped me sort through the mess and get things set up. We had the sale all day Friday and half a day Saturday. Next, our good friends Doug and Stauder were coaching their CAC baseball boys in the state championship game in Fayetteville, AR. Gavan went down on Friday, so Michael, Mel, Brandon, and I planned to leave about 1 p.m. on Saturday. We decided to get a rental car and drop it off in Fayetteville so all of us could ride together on the way back. On the way to pick up the car, Michael, Macy, and I were in a car accident. There were 5 cars involved and we were definitely so blessed because everybody was ok and the Jeep didn't have much damage and the other 4 were pretty bad. It's so scary to see things like that unfold. I didn't see the entire thing, but Michael did. We were sitting at a red light and it's a pretty helpless feeling. Anyway, after that we packed up and headed to Arkansas. Becky stayed to watch Macy and she also packed up all the garage sale stuff while we were gone. (We were SO thankful to her for all her help and hard work this weekend. We couldn't have done it without you Becky!) We got the the stadium right before the game started and I was so nervous the entire time! CAC won 6-2 and we were so happy for the guys. It was also so fun to see our good friends. We drove back home Saturday night and got home a little before 1 a.m. and still managed to make it to early service the next morning. I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Michael and Macy took me to Outback for lunch. It's the same place we went last year and we sat in the exact same booth. (I think we've started a tradition.) Even though it was another crazy, crazy weekend, it was still a good one!

This is just a random picture of Macy. She can only have her paci when she's sleeping, so she tries to convert her toys into pacis. So resourceful!

This was Thursday night before the garage sale. Jaylen was having a blast splashing water everywhere...Macy didn't really like it:

All of us - this picture is kind of out of focus:

Me and Mace:
Check out those gums...not teeth, but gums. Little Miss still hasn't gotten her two front teeth. She's getting/got the two on the side, kind of Jack-O-Laternish:
Me and Macy:
The Fam:
The fam from Mother's Day last year. See? Same booth! (Don't look at my hair...Definitely needed to go see Brooklyn at Studio 750. I don't think I really cared at the time because I wasn't getting much sleep.)
I tried to get some good pictures when we got home. Our dresses coordinated and everything! But I guess these are better shots illustrating motherhood:

My sweet husband...he really is too good to me (and I love it!)
