Tonight we had our annual Fall Festival at church.  We didn't have quite the turn out this year as we have had in the past, but that didn't matter to the kids!  We ate chili, went on a hayride, played some games, sang a few songs, and had a cake walk, and a devotional.  It was such a good time of fellowship. 
The girls were out of school today for Parent Teacher Conferences.  I wasn't at all worried about meeting with their teacher....they had all A's again :)  Have I ever mentioned how proud I am of them.  They are such smarties!!  Carlie is having to work a little harder this year, but she is still doing great. 
Trey had a dentist appointment today in Stuttgart.  This was just to get his teeth cleaned...we have more work to come.  He did great (so much better than this time last year!) but it makes me sad knowing that he has so much work to be done.  He just has bad teeth.  Part of it was due to an accident he had, part of it was due to some medication that he had to take when he was little, and part of it is just because his baby teeth are just bad.  I'm praying that Dr. Doug is going to fix us up on our next visit...it's November 15Th in case anyone wants to start praying now! 
So, that is our day in a nutshell.  Tomorrow we have a family reunion in DeWitt, and then trick or treating :)  The kids are looking forward to that and I can't wait to show you their costumes!
Happy Friday, Everybody!!

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...
