Complete Randomness!!

This is Trey's new shirt that Amber made.
She does a great job!

Carlie was practicing her moves.

Makena on her scooter.

I couldn't resist this shot--love these shirts!

Last night about 9:30, Carl went outside to get something
from his truck and he heard something eating our scraps--
Trey said "it's Swiper the Fox!!" :)

Not a lot has gone on this week.  Carlie is working on a 3D book report on Noah's Ark and we have been working on getting the pool cleared up without having to drain it--it's getting drained this weekend!!  Thanks to the rain, Carl has been off early all week and we have had fun just playing outside in the evenings.  As we are winding down the school year, we have already made some very important decisions regarding Carlie and Makena's schooling next year...we are HOMESCHOOLING!!  Just writing that makes me extremely nervous but it is something that I have been praying about for at least a year.  I am very happy with our school, but I really feel led to do this.  We just need a change.  It may be that next year they are right back in those seats at GPEMS, but this year they will be at home.  We will be using the A Beka video curriculum (which is what they currently use at school) and I am really excited about starting!!
 Next Friday is the last day of school and next Friday night is graduation and closing program at the school.  I'm sure I might shed a few tears because I do love our school and I know I will miss them, but I know this is the right thing to do, right now.

That is so awesome, Beth! I may be hitting you up for some info on homeschooling. It's something that I've been passionate about since before I was even pregnant with Lydia and since we had her, I'm even more passionate about it. Want to try to find out as much information as I can about it, though. I know I have several years before she will start pre-K ... but trying to plan ahead! =) Praying for y'all as you start this new journey! I've heard nothing but good things about it!

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

 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...
