Wednesday Ramblings

I'm back from my sickness enduced absence!!  It seems like ages since I last posted.  Carlie didn't go to school on Monday or Tuesday so we pretty much just sat at home.  She didn't have a fever, but her ear hurt really bad and she just felt yucky.  We managed to get her My State Notebook done as well as her book report (we did a little fine tuning on what she already had done) and we have started on her science experiement.....and I am exhausted!  But it was well worth it because today she made a 100 on her notebook as well as her book report :)


Both of these are beans...one that has been watered and one that has not. Can you guess which one is which?!

 Have I ever mentioned that Carlie is an over-achiever?  She needs has to be perfect.  Yes, she knows that she is not, but she expects the best out of herself.  This is something that I struggle with.  I know that I do push the girls and some have even told me that I push them too hard.  And while I know the consequenses of my actions, I only want them to do their best.  I don't want them to look back and say, "if I had only tried harder".  I love them for who they are no matter what and  I know they know that.

Had to throw a picture of the goofball in!! I took this picture before bed.  Evidently Spiderman pj's go with the plaid hat :)   He is one of the funniest kids I know!

My sleepy little princess.  I remember not long after she was born, I knew that she was going to be a sweetheart.  She was the best baby in the world...always a sleeper, just a good baby.  I always said that she was just like Carl....sweet :)  

I guess that pretty much sums it up.  After spending all last week with the kids I feel like I love them more than ever and that made me realize something:  Sometimes it takes something big to knock you back so you can see things the way He wants you to.....but sometimes the Lord just gives you little things to bring you back home!!

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...
