A Radio, Curls, and The Disco Ball

Trey woke up yesterday and the first thing
he went for was this Leap Frog radio.
This thing has really been around the block:   it was
Carlie's first, then it was Makena's and now it's T's.
My sweet big-girl, Carlie.  She got her hair cut a few weeks
ago and got a layer put in it, which I wasn't too sure about, but it
turns out that it is perfect for her natural curls :)

Today we went to Pine Bluff with my grandmother to take some blinds back to JCPenney and I had to run in Lowe's to get a new rug.  While we were in Lowe's, Makena found a disco ball lamp and fell head over heels
in love.  She just likes that kind of stuff.  Anyway, she had the rest of her birthday money with her and decided that she want to buy this lamp. In car on the way back home I overheard her and Carlie talking about having a party at midnight tonight (with the disco ball lamp and lots of music and food!)!!  I didn't dare say anything because I know for a fact that they will both be in bed asleep at that time.  They've tried staying up before, but we keep a pretty strict schedule and their bedtime has been 9:00 for a while now.  They usually don't make it past 10:30 :) 
Today is my grandmother's 75Th birthday but we are having her party tomorrow night.  I feel very blessed to have 3 of my grandparents left.  My kids enjoy Grammy and Papa a lot.  She rides them around on the Gator and pretty much lets them get by with murder!!  Of course they just live about 1/2 a mile down the road, so the kids spend a lot of time there.  They don't get to see Papaw G as much, but always enjoy their time with him too :)

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...
