Memorial Day And Beyond....


After lunch we all went out to the pool and Carlie fell
asleep in her ring!  I had to wake her up after a few minutes
because I was afraid she would get burned!  She had sunscreen
on, but Monday was one of those days that you needed to reapply
frequently!

Our friend, Luke.  This is the little guy I've been asking
prayer for lately.  He couldn't get in the water because of
his leg that is fractured. 
He's now sporting a camo cast though!

Makena was being my motor, pulling me around the pool :)
Trey has turned into a little fish.  He doesn't wear floaties at
all anymore and he does very well :)  His hair is already turning
blond, too :)

We celebrated Memorial Day by having a cook out at my parents' house at lunch.  Carl was working (BOO!) so it was just me and my kids, our pastor, his wife, and Luke, my grandparents and Mom and Dad.  We were sad that the Simpson's couldn't come down to play with us, but we still had a fun day.  After swimming most of the afternoon, we came home to rest for a little while then we went back over there for some watermelon :)  Carl came home around that time, so the kids wanted to swim again and he got to watch them while he was eating his dinner outside.  By the time he was done it was already 8 o'clock and time to go home and get ready for bed.  It sure was hard to think about going back to school!  We were all completely worn out from being in the sun all day!
So Tuesday, we had to get back into the swing of things...SCHOOL, SCHOOL, SCHOOL!!  I have had a pretty busy two days working on projects for my school and the girls are ready to be out (as am I) for the summer.  We still had test and quizzes to study for (on the last 3 1/2 days of school!!), so as of today, we still haven't been able to relax :(
Tonight we have our Discovery closing program (which I hope to have pictures of!).  I am so nervous for my kids...they are saying their verses for the church.  I know they know them, I just pray that they can recall them.
Tomorrow will be completely filled with buying groceries, leading a group discussion for school, after school swim party, and baking 4 dozen cupcakes!
Fun, Fun, Fun!!
1 1/2 More Days!!!

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...
