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

  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...
