In 9 Months......

It hit me like a ton of bricks the other night that in 9 short months my baby will start Kindergarten!!  He got up in the middle of the night to get in our bed, which he hardly does, and when I asked him why he was in my room he said, "I just wanted to sleep with you" (in his sweetest little voice).  Of course I said yes, and as he was lying there beside me, breathing his morning breath in my face, I started thinking of how he is going to start school soon and that made me really sad.  The process of letting go, even if it's just a little, is about to begin. I told him the other day that he was going to have to start going to bed without his TV on because when he started school he couldn't do that and he turned to me and said, "It's not tomorrow, Mom!" 

Anyway, I got this idea from Amanda at Baby Bangs, only mine is an abbreviated interview with my T:

1.  What is something that Mommy always says to you?
      T:  Clean my room.
2.  What makes Mommy happy?
     T:  When I'm good.
3.  How does Mommy make you laugh?
     T:  tell me knock-knock jokes!
4.  How old is Mommy?
     T:  I don't know, 8?
5.  What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?
     T:  Clean the house
6.  What is Mommy good at?
     T:  Cleaning the house!
7.  What is Mommy not good at?
      T:  driving the 4-wheeler like Daddy.
8.  What is Mommy's favorite food?
     T:  Spaghetti and Chili
9.  What makes you proud of Mommy?
     T:  making my bed
10.  What do you and Mommy do together?
       T:  Go to the Library and get books
11.  Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?
       T:  Nanny's house

His answers cracked me up!!  I guess maybe I'm a little OCD on the cleaning....you'd think my house would be the cleanest house on Earth!!  And how sweet it is to know that I'm 8 years old, but I guess that seems old to him :)  And as much as I love going to visit my Mom (Nanny), that is more than likely HIS favorite place to go!
Oh how I plan to cherish these next nine months!

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 his wings.  He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

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 say we went swi
