Farm and Gin Show 2011

We made it through our 7Th year of going to the Farm and Gin show in Memphis.  Friday Mom and I went to the show to see Dad and Carl then let the kids swim in the pool.  We ate at The Flying Fish and then Carl, the kids, and I went back to the hotel to hang out and my Mom and Dad went and stayed in West Memphis.  We had a great time, even though Friday night proved to be a terrible sleepless night for us thanks to Trey having Diet Mtn. Dew about an hour before bed!  We met up with the Martin's from Hickory Ridge (at the show)like we do every year, and got to visit with them for a while (wish I had gotten a picture).  I think Carl likes to work the show because he gets to see people from "back home" :)  Here are a few pictures of our trip:
Trey told me he had his suitcase packed!!
Needless to say, I re-packed it :)
Our hotel

Don't ask me what this is he's standing on, but
he wanted to climb up there so I could take his pictures.

Trey in the bucket!

We love Progeny...every year they have stuff that
is geared for the kids.  We were standing in line to
get tattoos!

Makena and Trey finally got their tattoos.
Notice T in the background...he was absolutely
LOVIN' the attention from that girl :)

A few of the kids goodies...this is another reason why they
love going :)  Trey even got a box of crayons made of soy.
 
I didn't take very many pictures at the show this year, I didn't even get a picture of  Dad, Carl, and Mike
in their booth (maybe next time)!  Overall I think it was a good show and hopefully a successful one!

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...
