Garage sale and Happy Father's Day!

First off, Happy Father's Day! I know I am a day late but I DID remember yesterday, just didn't have time to do a post about my wonderful dad's. What can I say, I have two amazing dad's. My dad has always been a huge influence in my life. He isn't the kind of guy that says a whole lot but when he talks you either end up rolling on the floor laughing or thinking "wow, that was profound". My father in law is an amazing guy too! I've said it before but I couldn't ask for better in laws. Bill watches out for me when Levi is gone, he calls every once in a while just to check in, he'll pick on my just like my family does and it makes me so grateful to be loved by both my amazing dads.

As for Levi he had a pretty simple father's day, some good breakfast, coffee, church, then off to work. I know, not super exciting but he did get a new lawn mower so that's gotta' count for something :0) He is an amazing father!! He does such a great job with Linc and I can't wait to watch him in action with two boys chasing after him... it should be very entertaining around here!

In other news;
I just had my very first garage sale and just for fun I thought I would try doing it here, up a mile of dirt road, about 20 minutes from town, just to see if anyone would drive this far to garage sale :0) And they did!! We had our stuff plus four other people's stuff to try and get rid of so it was a good size sale. On Thursday night I set about 3/4 of the stuff out and tarped it all just in case it rained but the weather report said there was only a 20% chance of rain. THEY LIED! Levi and I woke up numerous times during the night to what sounded like a torrential down poor. I found myself thinking "it's just the wind, it's just the wind" but nope, it was rain, a lot of rain and it didn't just hang out over night it lasted in the morning hours. When we finally got out of bed around 5a we took a look outside... no end to the clouds and rain in sight so we made a decision and canceled the sale. Levi went and took down all the signs, I took the add off Craigs list and we called all our friends to tell them not to come all the way out here for a sale. Then 7:30 rolls around and we have cars rolling in to shop! And they kept coming! We had probably 6 cars between 7:30 and 8:30 (the sale wasn't supposed to start until 8) so we made yet another decision to suck it up and do the sale anyway. Levi went and put the signs back up, we hauled stuff out and put it all under tarps but people didn't mind. They shopped away, lifting the tarps as they went. It was weird... I wouldn't garage sale in the rain :0) I had no idea that so many garage sale die hards were out there but they are and they don't care how far they have to drive or how wet the stuff is, they will shop! So Friday was very busy much to our surprise and everyone elses! Saturday was better weather but it was a bit slower. Not sure why. Overall it was successful and we managed to get rid of a bunch of stuff all while making a little money :0) I don't think I will be doing another one any time soon though!

And for those of you who want to see new pics of my little man (ie: grandmas :0) here he is just after he learned how to work his new toy from Grandpa Justin all by himself... he was VERY pleased!
