VBS: Monday & Tuesday

This week is Vacation Bible School at our church.  Our theme is Rev It Up: Full Throttle For God (race car theme) and the kids are absolutely loving it!  I'm not sure about last night, but tonight we had somewhere around 35 kids, which is pretty good for a community this size.  A lot of kids that we normally have were either out of town or at church camp and some have even moved :(  I am doing music (again) for pre-school through age 12 and I am so glad that Carl has been around to help me.  He has been my go-to guy :) 
Here are a few pictures of the week so far:
Trey thinks his sunglasses are awesome because Carl gave
them to him :)  They were watching Speed Bump (see below)
This is Speed Bump:  my dad!  Each night there is a little skit
that involves a character named Speed Bump.  As you can tell
by the looks on the kids faces, he is hilarious!  This is
probably their very favorite part :)

Makena, walking to the room with her classmates.

Look at all those handsome boys:  Avery, Noah, Trey, and Ashton.

Carlie talking with the girls before we got started!

Singing "Every Move I Make".  This is their VERY favorite
song to sing.  It makes me so happy to see them get into
a song like they do this one :)

***A little news not related to VBS:  #1 we went to court last Thursday and the loser guy got sentenced to another 90 days in jail for criminal trespassing.  The judge was sick that he couldn't be charged with more, so he gave him the maximum amount of time and didn't count the time he had already spent in jail/rehab.  Of course he has 30 days to appeal.  We'll just keep praying about that :)  It's a small victory, but a victory non the less.  Another good thing about it was that he plead guilty, so neither Carl nor Carlie had to testify.  Praise the Lord!!
#2 I finished two of my classes for the summer, today!! WOO HOO!!!!  I only have two to worry about now and one of those I have a mid-term in on Thursday, and I have to drive to LR to take it.  Not looking too forward to that , but I can't stop now.  At least that means I get to sell my books back (maybe that will pay for my gas!!).

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...
