I didn't ever think it could happen two times in a row...

but it did!! I hit another weekend of awesome garage sales!! This time the boys came with us, on the hunt for anything golf!! We had a rough start cause we left at 7:00 and none of the ones we really wanted to go to started till 8:00. So we headed to McDonald's and got some sausage mcmuffins and hash browns ~ a garage sale day tradition! The first one we hit I found me a couple of cute skirts, some jeans and shorts for the girls, and of course we had to pick up a few more toys! Paid a little more than I like too, $2.00 for each for the clothes, but the the clothes were in great condition! Next we headed to the country club garage sales were the boys just KNEW there was going to be golf stuff there! I found a cute Relic watch and some dress up jewelry for the girls and the only things the boys found were golf balls! They were $1.00 a dozen so they bought 4 dozen {which they left in the back of my car, loose, and when I went to open up the back later on to put my groceries in...48 golf balls rolled and bounced all over the Wal-Mart parking lot! Luckily, a nice couple helped me gather them all up ~ them crazy boys!!} I finally found a little play house that I've wanted for the girls, had to call mom to bring her truck and come pick it up for me ~ thanks mom! While we were waiting for mom we hit a few more where Justin found a shag bag full of balls and Jace found a putter! It was the most I have ever spent at garage sales ~ $80.00 ~ but I think we found some great treasures and the girls love their little house! Mom had to take their new truck over to have the muffler toned down ~ they bought it Friday and the muffler was a little too loud for them! She told my dad..."we aren't a couple of teenagers Mike"! So while we were waiting for that to be done we headed over to the Farmer's Market! It was alot of fun! They had complimentary strawberry shortcake, we had some kettle corn, and the best corn on the cob I've had in a long time...grilled in the husk, slathered with some yummy lime butter, then they put parmesan cheese on top of that and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper! YUMMY! Mom bought a cute new watch and a darling diaper bag for the newest little girlie of the family which will be making her debut in a few more weeks...I can't wait!! Justin talked in church today and did great! He talked on "Service to Others"! I just cried the whole time he was up there...there were two other missionaries speaking for their farewells and all I could think of is...where has the time gone? I remember when he gave his first talk in primary like 12 years ago! Have another fun filled week planned...Halle is doing swim lessons again, Jace has a football camp, Jr. Golf, my cousin is here from Boise and I hope to get together with her and her two little girls, have a picnic and go to the splash park in Rexburg, a cookout and fireworks at Mandie's, and of course one of my favorite holidays is this weekend...the 4th of July!! Parade, picnic, food, fun, family, and fireworks!
So thankful for...1) a great relief society lesson today by such a sweet,immensely talented, smart, lady whom I admire in more ways than one {love ya Steph} ~ filled my spiritual reservoir 2) next month is our 18th anniversary...working on a awesome "homemade" gift for John ~ so excited! I give ya a seak peek here and there as it comes along! I hope he likes it 3) so thankful for my freedom!

3 friends visiting our little house:

Holy cow you are great at garage sales. I need to follow you around, I'm terrible!! This must have been a great weekend for sales, I'm heard a few people bragging about the great finds. Have a great week and holiday, sounds like you are going to busy with lots of fun things planned.

I've been wanting to go out garage saling again but we have had too much going on! Good finds for you though....I'm laughing (and cringing) at the thought of you chasing golf balls around the parking lot. That is totally something that would happen to me. And we always want to hit the farmers market but have yet to actually do it. Happy 4th!
