Labor Day 2010

On Labor Day my Mom, Dad, and I took the kids toThe Arkansas Post Museum in Gillett.  Carl is still working hard (but if the rain holds off they'll be done with rice by Wed.!) and couldn't be off with us today, but we had a great time with Nanny and Pop anyway!  We had lunch in the picnic area and the kids loved it.  After we left there we headed to the visitor center where they have all kinds of exhibits and even a movie theater.  It is very educational, but fun also.  So after we finished up in the visitor center, we went on a hike by the river and  that's when we had a few melt-downs (Carlie of all people), got a little hot, and couldn't wait to get back to the truck!!  It was a really nice hike if you don't count all of that!! Makena really enjoyed herself until the very end when she was worn out from walking :)  We also went to the actual museum part where they have a lot of really old, interesting things. 
We attempted to go swimming today, but the water was sooo cold we only stayed for about 40 minutes, then we had to come home and get ready for a fish fry at Grammy and Papa's.  The fish was good and we got to visit with family that we don't get to see very often.  Over all we had a great day and got to spend it with some pretty special people :) 
Tomorrow is my first day of working as Mother Helper at the girls school this year and tomorrow night I have Ladies Bible Study, so it's going to be a very busy day. 
Oh, I called her this morning, but I need to send a big Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Mrs. Carolyn!!

Well, hope you all have had a great weekend and are ready to start a 4 day work week!!

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...
