Valentine Banquet 2011

In case you can't see it, it says Love believes, hopes,

and endures all things.

Trey and Mrs. Darlene by the desserts :)

Carlie and Makena with their Sunday School Teacher,

Aunt Becky.

Carlie gave Luke all these paper flowers :)

Carl won one of the games, a coke and candy

bouquet, and of course gave it to me. Sorry Carl,

that's NOT my Valentine present!

The kids sang "I've Got Peace Like A River" with the

hand motions of course. They love that song!

We had our Annual Valentine Banquet tonight at church. Tonight's menu was spaghetti, salad, and yummy desserts. The three oldest Discovery classes were the servers tonight. They came by with menus and a took our drink and food orders. They earned points or Discovery coins for this service project. It was so cute, and I think it was really good for them to do. Had a great time and really enjoyed the fellowship with some of the most important people in our lives, our church family.

"And now abideth

faith, hope, charity, these three;

but the greatest of these is charity."

1Corinthians 13:13

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...

This week, we pulled out one of our very favorites: Ritz Cracker Chicken. We all love this, but it is Trey's very favorite meal.
