From Bad To Good

Oh, Monday why do you have to live up to your bad name!  No, it really hasn't been a bad day, just a long day.  On the way home from our date night, I realized that my drivers license expired on Sunday :(  I absolutely HATE having my picture taken for my drivers licence.  There has to be some kind of law somewhere that says that those pictures have to be bad because I've never seen a good one.  Well, I didn't see one today either!   And bless her heart, the girl that waited on me at the Revenue office had the personality of a ground rattler....seriously....AND I didn't know that you have to pay 20 bucks to have the darn picture made....grrrrr.  Bad morning, but thankfully the day got better :)

Carl came home to eat lunch with us and after we got finished we decided to walk over to Ms. Lena's Pie Shop to get a piece of pie.

This is why I can't lose weight:
Makena and Trey got blueberry cream cheese pie, me and Carl
got chocolate pie, and of course Carlie got a fried apple pie.  She LOVES
her some apple pie...in any form!

After Carl went back to work we rested, cleaned a little, then we decided to go swimming.   Everyone was in a good mood today, which made EVERYTHING easier on ME!  Love that :)

That smile makes my life so much more easy!

Trey was showing me one of his tricks on the slide.
He is a dare devil!

Makena was cooling off in front of the fountain.

And he started this....THE POSE!

Bulls Eye :)

Where's Trey?!

And, another pose....he was a camera hog today :)

Makena was having a puppet show for me with her water
balloons!

BUSTED!!  Carlie was in the pool with her food...
and from the looks of it, she had a mouth full too!
I'm tellin' Pop!!!

Carlie was being sneaky about something!

Happy Kids = Happy Mama!

When Carl got home from work we grilled some tasty pork chops, had some corn, fresh steamed squash, potatoes and gravy, and mac n cheese....it was delish!
 
What started out as a bad day, turned out to be a good one.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been some rain :)  Tomorrow I get to go clean the church with all the ladies before Revival next week.  It's a tradition (the cleaning), I don't even know how long it's been going on, but I'm happy to be part of it!

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...
