Just to say I've Posted......


Makena before church Sunday Morning
Trey is my little computer nerd!
My Carlie:  if you look closely you can see she has
NO BRACES!!! Yay:)
The most exciting thing that has happened around here in the past week is that Carlie got her braces off on Thursday.  She only had them on for 6 months!  That has got to be the shortest time ever to wear braces!!  We go back in ten days to get our retainer so everything will stay in it's proper place.  She really didn't want them off, but I think she is used to it now and likes it. 
 Friday night we went to revival at a friends church.  Since it rained at the end of last week Carl didn't get to work in the field on Saturday, which meant that he did get to work on the demolition of our storage building.  He had to turn the electricity off and re-wire some things because our hot water heater was wired out in the building--CRAZY, I know.  It always scares me to think of him working with elecricity, because let's face it, he isn't a certified electrician, but since he had my grandpa here to watch over him I felt a little better.  He did all the work on his on and did a very good job!! The building came down last night!! Now we are just left to pick up the junk and get it out of the way.  We (I) had a deadline set to have it done by Easter.  I didn't think it would happpen, but I think Carl was determined to prove me wrong!!  We decided to treat ourselves to a night out at Nick's BBQ in Carlisle that night.  It was my first time to eat an actual BBQ there--usually I get fish--I wasn't disappointed!! It was really good. 
 Sunday we had a guest preacher fill in for Bro. Jeff who got put in the hospital for what they thought was heart issues, but ended up being nothing much.  He stayed in the hospital from Friday until Monday for them to find that out though--GO FIGURE! 
We are counting down the days until Spring Break--not that we have anything great planned, but at the end of that week I am taking a group of girls to a pre-teen retreat at Greers Ferry along with another lady in our church.  We might throw in a trip to the zoo at the begining of the week.  I'm praying for pretty weather. 
 I have to take a minute to explain the picture above of Trey.  He doesn't sit at the computer all day.  If it's pretty out and we have finished all our school work and house work, we are outside.  He just likes to play while I'm cleaning and it keeps him out of my way.  Some of his favorite sites are PBS Kids, Nick Jr., Playhouse Disney, and PBS Kids Sprout.  He also does coloring pages on John Deere Kids Corner, but I don't know the exact web address. 
Maybe I'll be a better blogger in the next few days:)  Hope everyone has a great day!

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...
