Just Because

Just because I cannot bear to look at the same pictures on this blog for another week, I'll post some new ones :)  Yesterday we went to Morrilton for the sale "Bargains Galore on 64".  Holy Cow, I never knew so many people would brave the insane heat to yard sale.  Jamie goes to church with a very nice, sweet lady, who let us set up some of our goodies in the front of her house.  We made pretty good money, and somehow we survived the heat.  Thankfully her yard was pretty shaded.  They kids put a few of their things in the sale and were pumped to make some extra money.  We had a very productive day, with the added bonus of getting to spend time with Jamie, Noah, and Ellie Kate.  Eli and Cody were in Conway helping a church member move. 
Only one more week until school starts and I can't believe it--any of it!! I can't believe that Carlie will be in the 4Th grade, and Makena will be in the 3rd!!  They have 2 new teachers this year, and I am very excited to see how things are going to change.  I am usually not one for change, but in this case, I think it is a very good thing for our school :)  I also can't believe that this will be my last year at home with Trey.  He will turn 5 in September and will start preschool (at home) then also.  I have found a lot of great stuff to use, and I am very excited about that too.  I've got TONS of ideas!! 
Things are going to be completely crazy around here over the next month, with Carl working late harvesting on the farm, school and preschool starting, Discovery starting up at church,  birthday parties, the county fair..... I could go on and on!!  Maybe I'll have time to take pictures and post more often.... but I'm not promising anything :)  Hope you've all had a great weekend and have found some way to beat the heat!

The kids before church this morning.
Carl and Trey at the pool.
Makena was chillaxin' by the pool
If you can't see this very well, it is a wasp that was dragging
a spider to it's hole by the pool to eat!! It got on T's flip-flop
when I was trying to get a picture of it...YUCKY!!

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...
