A Visit With Santa

On Friday Carl and I took Trey with us shopping in Little Rock. He really is a pretty good little shopper, especially if he knows that he will get to sit on Santa's lap!! We saved that for right after we were done eating, so during lunch we were talking about what he was going to ask for and he said most of his usual stuff: trucks, blocks, tractors, etc. So you can imagine our surprise when he hopped on Santa's lap and told him, without skipping a beat, that he wanted a motorcycle!! Never once has he mentioned to us that he wanted a motorcycle...NEVER. After he got down and we got our pictures, I told him that he might not get a real motorcycle, maybe a bike that looked like one, but not a real one. He looked at me and matter-of-factly said, "Santa said it would be under the tree"! Thanks a lot Santa!!

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...
