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!
