Busy Weekend!

Well, our little beauty turns 18 months this weekend.  We took her out to get some good pictures and I think we succeeded!  I LOVE Hayden’s photography skills…he’s phenomenal and has a great subject to capture!  We were looking around the house last night to see where we’d like this picture in poster-size! 

We had a wonderful and full weekend.  Hayden’s parents came up on Friday night to spend the weekend.  I took the opportunity to have a girls night with my friend Melissa and we spent the evening scrapbooking at Archiver’s, a local store in town that hosts evenings to come in and use their tools, have dinner, and win door prizes.  It was fun catching up on some memories without interruption! 
The next morning Hayden’s dad and I went garage saling together!  I saw a couch on craigslist.com (my favorite website) that I thought would look great in our sun room.  I’ve been hunting a couch for months!!  We went and bought it…and had fun hanging out, just the two of us.  Unfortunately, the couch was the wrong color, but it will work perfectly in our office, so it’s not a loss.  So, the hunt continues…

Saturday morning we all drove up to “Goat City”, TN…give you a dollar if you know where that is!  We enjoyed seeing family and being outside at the Simons Family Reunion.  It was especially great to spend time with Papaw Ben.  We got home in time to change clothes and order pizza for the game. GO BULLDOGS!! 
Thank goodness we’re not fair weather fans because we’d be even more disappointed in the Dawgs performance than we were.  Haley had her MSU dress on and both sets of grandparents over to look for BULLY and COACH on the television.  Some kids like Mickey Mouse or other cute characters, Haley lives for BULLY.  We read the book, Hello Bully, many times a day and every time she sees the “M-State” emblem, she yells, “BULLY!”  We’re training her right.
Sunday Hayden was busy cleaning out the garage so I can park in there…yea!  He’s done so many projects lately and I’m sure he’s ready for a break…until my imagination comes up with the next thing we HAVE to have!  He’s so good at building what I come up with (see the benches).  We had a great time relaxing and celebrating my Dad’s birthday Sunday night.  Happy Birthday, DAD!  Needless to say, we’ve had a great weekend and are grateful the hurricane wasn’t too devastating.  We spent a lot of time watching it’s progress.  Our prayers are with all those effected by the damage.
