Six More Days and A New Name

Well, I'm sure that most of you have noticed that I changed the name of the our blog.  I always wanted to come up with something other than the last name thing.  So the other day I was listening to Taylor Swift (not necessarily by choice, my girls LOVE her!!) sing The Best Day, and in one part of that song she sings of princesses and pirate ships, so I thought that it would be a perfect new name for our blog :)  Today was another nice day, and we actually got to enjoy the outdoors today. 
For some reason I just couldn't go back to sleep after Carl left for work, so I got up and started working on my lesson plans for Trey's school.  After everyone got up and ate breakfast we went outside to do some chalking with sidewalk chalk.  Then we went in and got dressed for Mommy's photo shoot (that would be me taking pictures of them!)  By that time it was time for lunch so we came inside and Makena and Trey built a tent to lay in and watch TV.  He really is going to miss them a little bit, but then again, he will enjoy getting to do stuff alone too. 
We went swimming this afternoon and then came home and relaxed before starting dinner.  Carlie and Trey helped me cook, but Trey was the only one who let me get his picture.  He said, "I am the chef!"  Ratatouille is one of his favorite movies!! 
Carl is working late...still working as I'm writing this, in fact.  I love this time of year, but then again, I hate this time of year.  This is my time to learn a little of what it's like to be a single parent, and believe me I don't  EVER want to be a single parent!  Maybe tomorrow we can go to the farm and get some pictures of them harvesting.  Trey is always more interested in the big trucks than the combine, but he loves to go out there ;)

it out!! SO READY FOR RAZORBACK FOOTBALL :)

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...
