what can we say...

What can we say about Saturday...what an amazing day with so much love and support surrounding us.  The morning started off with an 8:00 am tee time for the first round of golfers but the weather wouldn't corporate and the golfers had to be called off the course twice due to lightening.  Everyone kept telling me you can't do anything about the weather so don't worry about it but I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.  They decided to give the morning golfers the option to try and squeeze into the afternoon session or they could leave, I think 3-4 groups stuck around.  But the weather cleared up some and the overflowing afternoon group of golfers were able to tee off and get most of their 18 holes in if not all of them. I think in total between the morning and the afternoon groups we had roughly 32ish teams of 4 out golfing for Reed.

While the golf tournament was going on lots of people were hard at working inside, getting the auction, lunch/dinner, and raffle setup.  So many amazing items were donated for the live/silent auction and raffle. Every time I would walk into the room I would see another awesome donation that I hadn't seen before.  There were even donations coming in the day of the event.  They also held a raffle for the golf tournament as well as a 50/50.  There was a table set up with Team Reed items also, shirts, hats, golf balls, headbands, window stickers.  Every corner was used even Mr. Nick the balloon animal guy sat in a comer making balloons for the kids!

As the day and night went on we were just floored by the number of people that came out to the event.  While Jesse was finishing up golfing Reed and I took several trips around the course to see the golfers and look for daddy.  That was our time to take a little break from all the action going on inside.  It was definitely a little bit of an overwhelming day for us and I had to take a couple of minutes and just sit by myself or Reed and I would go out to the driving range and play.

Pretty much the rest of the night was a whirl wind of saying hello, thank you, and hugs.  I personally would like to thank Farmers State Bank for all they have done for Jesse over the years, at the conclusion on the night the bank presented Jesse with a custom made gun with Team Reed carved into the stock, leaving Jesse speechless and in tears.  This gun will be treasured by my boys forever and I know Jesse can't wait until Reed is old enough to get out and shoot it. 

I wish I would of remembered to take more pictures but it just slipped my mind. In the end everything turned out so good, the food was amazing, both auctions were a success and we all slept well that night.

Again thank you, thank you thank you! We have such amazing people by our side that have stepped up and lent a huge hand to use is so many ways.  We will never be able to thank you enough.

Here are a few of the pictures I did get or stole from other people.
