First 3 Days of Summer Break

Trey and Grammy....I think she thought she would drown!

Blaine and Trey having a boy convo :)

Makena, Carlie, and Blaine

Carlie and Blaine
He loves her so much, he gave her lots of kisses that day :)

These pictures were taken on Monday afternoon when my cousin CleAnn and her little boy Blaine came to swim with us.  The kids just love to have someone to swim with and even though we don't live that far from The Browns', we don't get to see them all that often, so this was a good time to catch up for everybody :) 
Speaking of catching up,  I will do a little now.  Monday I did some school work then me and Makena went to town to run some errands while Trey and Carlie stayed with Nanny.  They helped her clean out her bathroom and came home with TONS of stuff!!  Face masks, lotions, shampoo...just a lot of stuff (just what we needed); thanks Mom!!  So after we got back home we ate lunch and then went back over to Mom and Dad's to swim.  The rest of the day was pretty much spent indoors, recuperating from being out in the sun ALL afternoon.  Thankfully, everybody was able to sleep well that night!
Yesterday was one of the most stressful days I have had in a LONG time.  I waited until the last minute to work on my part of a group project for school and so I spent about 5 or 6 hours doing it.  I was able to work about 2 1/2 of those hours while the kids were asleep :)  On top of all of that, one of my labs online wouldn't let me sign in so I spent about 45 minutes chatting with technical support, finally she did what I asked her to do, and all was well!  I was finally able to wind down at Ladies Bible Study last night. 
Today has been 100% easier.  I still woke up early to get my work done, but I only had to do my homework online, so it didn't take too long.  Again, I got to work in peace while the kids were sleeping.   We all went to town to go to the library, eat lunch with Carl, and make a Wal-Mart stop.  The kids got lots of good books.  It's so funny because Carlie and Makena got Nancy Drew books.  I used to read those when I was little.  I LOVED mystery books when I was younger.  Now I mostly read Christian fiction (love Karen Kingsbury) but lately I don't have time to read anything on my own :(  Carl used to get aggravated because when I would start a book, I would usually finish it that day, meaning I didn't get anything else done. The love of  books is an awesome thing and I'm glad that I've passed along the passion to read to my kids.
Of course we went swimming again today, but not for as long because we had church tonight. 
I guess that's it, that's my catching up.  Hope I didn't bore you too bad. 
Happy Hump Day, Friends!

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...
