Friday Trip to Morrilton

Today we took a quick little trip to Morrilton to pick my mom up and to also see the Simpson's for a while.  They were so sweet and had a little birthday party for both me and Makena.  We had pizza and cupcakes :)  Oh the joys of living in the city limits where you can actually get pizza delivered...sometimes I wish I lived "in town"!
Look at these two!  Ellie Kate couldn't decide between her
pizza and cupcake, so she ate a little of one, then a little of
the other!

These were taken with my phone and I'm too lazy tired
to edit them.  Makena was eating her pizza.  I think it is
now her favorite food :)  We won't mention that they had
it 3 times over the past week.  We'll do better next week!

Jamie made this for me for my birthday.  She has become quite the
little Martha Stewart!  I have a stand that I am going to put it on.

She also made these cups....oh, wait I'd better say that Cody
made the cups!!  He was sure to let us know who did it yesterday.
I think he did a good job :)  All the kids had one, and I was the "special"
(no wise cracks) adult that got one too!

I didn't get any pictures of Carlie or Noah at the party :(  Noah was SUPER excited that we were there and I don't think he sat down for more than 5 minutes (to eat) and honestly Carlie is about the same way.  She was carrying EK around playing with her most of the time. 
We had a great time and by the time we got home we were so tired we didn't do much of anything!  The heat was pretty bad today.  It was right around 100 all day.  I always feel so bad for Carl for having to be out in it.  He says he's used to it, but he didn't do much outside when he got home last night either!

Hope you all have a great weekend and find a cool spot to stay!

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...
