Searcy Trip

Carlie was trying to stay cool on this warm October
day!
 
Makena, taking a break
Austin and Derek were trying to help Trey kick the ball....it was too funny!
This is how Austin greeted us...with two squirrel tales from
the squirrels he killed this morning!

Buddy the Beagle :)

 
Carlie, Trey, and Makena really enjoyed their hot dogs and chips!
All the kiddos playing
Who really abides by the burn bans?!  Not these neighbors!!
They got a not-so-nice visit from the cops after
the fire dept. left.  Very entertaining, though!

Pop, Aunt Shelia, Papaw Garrett, Aunt Nina, and Uncle Floyd
take time to pose for a picture before we made
our way back to Arkansas County.

Trey (being silly) with Aunt Shelia


Today we made our way to Searcy to celebrate my little cousin Austin's birthday.  They had planned to have a weenie roast, but their county just got put in a burn ban over the week (the neighbors didn't think that the law applied to them) so we  had grilled dogs instead! 
 I guess if there ever was a day that I missed having my van, today would've been that day.  We had to take two vehicles because my Papaw needed to ride with someone.  So I took my Mom and the girls with me and my Dad took Papaw and Trey in his truck.  It ended up working out great because Trey got some individual time with them.  They told me that he talked their ears off....wonder where he got that..CARL!
I'm so thankful for days like this (even though Carl wasn't able to go): Nice weather, being outside, spending time with family, and THE HOGS WON and ALABAMA LOST!!  How could it be any better?!

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...
