Four States in Just Over Two Days

Four states, seven interstates, a wedding, almost a funeral, some swimming, yard work, a little house work, a couple of storms and one packed little car. That was our weekend.

We went from Louisiana to Texas for Paul's mom's wedding. The boys got to swim in their pool after the wedding - which they had a blast doing. We had fun - got to see family we had not seen in a long time. The wedding was pretty (and wasn't very long - which is ALWAYS great with kids). Before the wedding they did pictures. Andrew hammed it up! He was a hit. Hopefully, I will have those photos soon and I will add them on here. We were able to get some family pictures, some pictures of just the boys and of just Daddy and I. Can't wait to see how they turned out.

The boys did really well. Andrew had everyone laughing - especially during pictures. He was kind of giggly during the wedding, but overall they all did awesome. And they were no problem after the wedding - they got in the pool as soon as we got to their house and got out when it was time to go. Great entertainment!!!

After the wedding festivites, we packed up and drove to Arkansas to take care of the yard. I listened to messages and found out that our realtor was in a serious car accident - hence the "almost funeral" - she called to let us know she could not do the open house Sunday). She was hit head-on. The paramedics went to try and help her out of the car and she kept telling them she needed to get her signs out of the trunk and this and that. They finally told her her car was going to explode and she needed to get out immediately. Her accelerator was stuck down. The car was not going anywhere, but it was smoking from staying revved up. Luckily, she is okay. Her whole left side is one big bruise and she has a huge black eye. She had a CT scan and she does not have a concussion or anything. She did sprain her ankle - but she is VERY lucky. Her car is totalled and she basically walked away from it. (Her car stopped a block away from where she was initially hit)

After taking care of the house we headed back to Louisiana. To get here we go from AR to LA through Mississippi and back into LA. Needless to say it was an exhausting weekend!

These are all the pictures I got of the kids this weekend - like I said, more should be coming soon.
