Things I Want To Remember About This Summer

Since school about to start, I wanted to take the time and write about the things I want to remember most about this summer. 
So here they are in no particular order(after the first one, of course!):

  1. Carlie being saved and baptized.  I think this one speaks for itself :)  Best thing about this summer!  It was such an answered prayer.
  2. Makena learning how to do her back bend from a standing position.  This is something that she was determined to do, and even though it was tough for her, she did accomplish it and we are very proud of her.
  3. Trey learning how to swim on his own without floaties.  I wasn't too thrilled about Carl letting him try this one day, but he quickly let me know that he was ready and Carl said he wouldn't ever learn until we took the floaties off.  He was swimming in no time!  Now he can swim from one side of the pool to the other :)
  4. Cookouts:  it didn't matter if we were with friends, lots of family, or just our family, we had a lot of fun grilling, cooking fish, or whatever it was.  We love to eat and get together.
  5. Baseball Game: this was our first Travelers baseball, and Trey's first baseball game ever.  The girls have been to Memphis to the Redbirds game, but never to LR.  It was a lot of fun, even though it was very hot.
  6. Vacation:  We had such a nice relaxing vacation this year.  Instead of our usual cramming activities into a day, we just kind of went with it.  Some things were planned, but we always had a little extra time to just enjoy it all.
  7. Lazy Days: these days came along mainly at the end of the summer when it was just too darn hot to do anything else.  We did fun activities like play games, paint, and play inside. 
  8. Playing on the fort in the sprinkler:  we have done this more recently, but it is a lot of fun for the kids, and when the pool got old, we drug out the sprinkler.
  9. Going out to the farm in the evenings to look for deer:  This is an activity that the kids loved.  They liked getting their binoculars out and watching the deer eat. 
  10. Shopping trips to Wal-Mart with all 3 kids:  This always proved to be interesting.  Some days everyone was cooperative.  Other days it was pretty much chaos!!

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

 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...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
