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. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
