End Of The Week Pictures

Trey wanted to swim with his hat on!

He had been diving for this red fish, that he named "red"

and for the blue squid that he named "Larry"????

These blurry pictures are from my phone and were taken

at TGI Friday's.

Me and Makena. She has been super-glued to me since

school let out. She LOVES her mommy :)

You'll have to click on this picture to enlarge it and see if

you can see the surprise. Typical day on the farm!

T's masterpiece. He loves to "draw" on the computer.

He did this the other day when he was on a pirate kick.

Before I go, I have to ask for a few prayers again. First off, I want to ask you to please pray for the Barnes family. I mentioned Tonya and her new baby Jagger a few posts ago. I am very sad to report that Jagger passed away last night. I also just found out today that this was not the first baby that she lost. A few years ago she had a baby that was stillborn. Please pray that they will find peace and comfort in this terrible time.

Secondly, Carl's brother-in-law, Jeff lost his dad today after a short fight with cancer. Please pray for this family, also. And finally, please pray for us. We got a phone call yesterday that the ~~loser~~ guy got out of jail/rehab and is back home. Carlie doesn't know this, and I don't intend on her finding out right now. There is still no word as of when a trial will be, but please pray for us. I am just praying that the Lord will keep us all safe and take care of this whole situation. Sometimes I wake up fearful at night and the only thing I know to do is pray. Please pray for us too.

We found out Thursday afternoon that we are going to be taking our annual trip to Branson, on Monday! Not a lot of notice to get things in order. I've had to write 2 papers, take 1 test, and 1 quiz. I should be done by tomorrow, you know me...down to the wire, my best work comes on a deadline (we'll see!!).

Can't wait to get out of here and put things out of mind for a while :) Who knows, maybe the Lord will return and I won't have to come back here. Whatever, I know we'll get through it.

I'm rambling, so I guess I'll be signing off now.

Goodnight, all!

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

Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

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...
