Life in the Martin Household for the Past Week

Whew! It's been a busy week! Last Tuesday my parents came to town! They were on vacation and spent the rest of the week with us! Every day was packed with things to do. the first thing on the agenda was to get them to help us move Cayson's room to the bigger spare bedroom. Boy, was that a job! It took 2 days to finish, but we got it done! We still need to put the finishing touches, like hanging pictures, but I'm saving that for when we paint.

Thursday was Shaun's birthday. I had planned to write a post all about him, but it didn't work out that way. For his birthday, he wanted to go to the David Phelps concert at a church in Fort Smith. So we had ordered tickets about a week before. Here's the fun part: we didn't tell my parents about it. My mom is a HUGE fan of David Phelps. We thought it would be fun to surprise them. So we waited until Thursday at lunch to tell them about it. Boy, was she surprised! The concert was awesome, by the way.

Friday, we relaxed a little bit and went out to eat that night.

Saturday, we went to Fayetteville to the Red and White game. The day's activities started at noon with the game at 6. We got there around 2. It was pretty fun. It would have been more fun if Cayson was old enough to participate in everything. See, they had all kinds of jump arounds and games and stuff for kids. And it was all free! If you have kids, you should really bring them next year. Plus, there's lots of freebies. Several former Razorbacks were there to sign autographs and some even played in a 7 on 7 flag football tournament. And Hog Heaven, the souvenir shop, had everything in the store half off! My parents bought Cayson a jersey for $12.50. Even the game was free. We actually got to sit on the 50 yard line, about 8 rows back! It was a lot of fun, but I really don't know how I was thinking I was going to be able to handle all that, being pregnant and all! We walked around so much! And those bleachers were not very comfy!

Sunday, we all went to church. We had such an awesome worship time. It was one of those days where everything just clicked. And one of my Sunday school kids got baptized!

All in all, it was a very good week!
