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...

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
