We Made It!!

Anna Grace and Makena Faith!

Anna Grace, Emily, Makena, and Piper practicing for the
closing program


Carlie and Megan
My mom found those hair piece clips in a boutique
in Stuttgart and decided to get them for the girls...
I could have done without them!
Mrs. Kathy was doing balloon dogs as an
evangelism tool.  It was really cool and the kids
LOVED the dogs--especially the little ones.

This is completely random....but my grandmother
called the other day and said that when she went out to the
hen house they found 5 baby chickens, and the kids just had to go
down and see them.  One of them ended up dieing, but the others are
doing great.  The kids got to name them too :)

Two goofy goobers!!  Teens....you gotta love them!

Whew....as much fun as this week was, I am thrilled to death that it's over!  Most of these pictures are from  Wednesday and Thursday because I forgot my camera last night.  I don't know what I was thinking!!  Yesterday the kids and I had a road trip to Little Rock.  I had a few things I needed to return and while we were there we got an early start on some school clothes.  I found a lot of really good deals but I had to search for stuff that wasn't too summery (I think I just made up a word!).  After we left the mall we went to Target and got a few things for the closing program then made our way back home.  I rarely take little trips like those with all three kids (by myself), but we had a good time and the arguments were kept to a minimum.  I had to type the programs for the closing program when I got home (oops!!) and get down to the church to run them off before it started.....did I mention I'm a procrastinator?!  The program went great!! My little pirates sang their song loud and proud, and Trey even got to wear his pirate shirt!! I feel awful that I forgot my camera.  Carlie and Makena sang very well too!!  We didn't make it back home until 9:45 because we helped take the decorations down and clean up the church.  Over all we had a wonderful week and now we can say... We Survived Danger Island!!

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...
