Sunny Days and Sidewalk Chalk

What a Beautiful day!! We have really enjoyed the past few days. Saturday I was supposed to attend a Vacation Bible School Seminar in Pine Bluff but Carl had to work and I didn't want to bring Trey along, so I stayed at home:( We decided that since there wasn't anything else to do we would go to the park. I did take my camera along but I ran into an old friend and I didn't get the opportunity to take any pics. We had only been there for about 30 minutes when Carl called and said that he was coming home, so he came by the park and watched the kids play for a while, then we all went home.
Demolition is in full force at our house. Carl finally finished my storage building and we are working on tearing the old one down (YES!!) I'm really hoping that it will be done by Easter, but since Carl is already in the field, it may or may not happen. Yesterday after church the girls and I took a bike ride while Carl and Trey burned some old boards and junk from the building, and it felt so good to just ride and talk with them. They are growing up on me way too fast! I'm about to have a ten year old, an eight year old, and a five year old. I don't have any babies anymore. On the bright side, they are now old enough to do more things and it is so much easier going anywhere.

Today I took the girls to school then I came home and started doing my usual stuff. Trey and I spent the majority of the afternoon outdoors. We rode bikes, jumped on the trampoline, and played in the sandbox. Then my mom got home with the girls and brought some sidewalk chalk and sidewalk paint!! So guess what we did the rest of the afternoon! Carl will die when he gets home because he HATES sidewalk chalk--I can only imagine what he'll say about the paint!!

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...
