Conversations With A 3 1/2 Year Old

I still don't have a lot to blog about, but here is a funny conversation that took place in our house between Carl and Trey. Carl had just walked in from work:

Carl: "Trey, did you get a new truck today"

Trey: "Um Huh"

Carl: "When did you get that?"

Trey: "At Wal-Mart"

Carl: "No, not where did you get it, but when did you get it?"

Trey: (and I wish you could have see the look on his face) "Today at Wal-Mart, duh !"

I about died. How did he get such an attitude you might ask--remember, he has two older sisters! He picks up all kind of stuff from them. I am NOT taking credit for any of that:)


The other night Carl had left to go to Men's Fellowship at our church. Trey realized this about 30 minutes after he left because he was in the tub(a well designed plan!), and this was our conversation while I was getting him dressed:

Trey: "Where's Daddy at?"

Me: "He went to the church for a men's meeting"

Trey: "Why did he go there?"

Me: "To learn about Jesus and talk with the men."

Trey: "Just like I do in class?"

Me: "Yes Trey, just like you do in class"

Isn't that sweet? He tells me all about his lessons from Sunday School--now, sometimes I might have to beg him to tell me, but he usually will. And some people say that 2-3 year olds are too young to remember--not Trey. He has a memory like an elephant.

Makena did go back to school today--yeah! She is feeling better, but she didn't sleep a wink last night. This has been two nights in a row now. I am beginning to feel like I have an infant again! Mrs. Odom asked me to sub for her next Tues and I am really excited about it:) I enjoy being up there with the girls, and believe it or not they like me being there. I dread the years when they don't want to be seen with me. And no matter how cool Mom's think they are, there are always times when their kids don't want them anywhere around them. Then when they grow up and have kids of their own, they can't imagine living without their Mom. At least that was the case with me! I guess I've procrastinated on my cleaning long enough:)

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
