Grillin' Out

So I guess one of my favorite things about summer is grillin' out in the backyard with the family and just  watching the kids run around and play and have fun without a care in the world.  Yep, I would say that it really can't get much better than that :)

Makena wanted to take a picture of me and Carl.  She cracks
me up so much because she loves to see us hug and be
"loving" with each other.  I guess it makes her feel safe or something :)

Look at those yummy chicken legs!

This picture is for Carlie.  Well, Carlie really took this picture.
Ever since she was little she always loved to look at the butter
before "messing" it up!  This girl loves butter too....maybe even
more than Paula Deen!

We also cooked country style ribs.  These were a little more
fatty than I wanted, but once you got past all of that, they were
delish!!

All of these pictures are also from Saturday :)  Today we got up only to realize that we overslept!!  That is not good on a Sunday morning around here.  We don't ever set the alarm for Sunday mornings because we always just get up.  But last night wasn't just any ordinary night.  Nobody in this house slept...NOBODY!    We got NO sleep until the wee hours of the morning.  So at 8:30 we got up and had to skip our normal big Sunday breakfast and just had muffins :)  We did manage to make it to church on time thanks to the fact that I had our clothes already out.  I think I should do that every week! 
Poor Makena is still not feeling the best and neither is Trey although he doesn't show it as much.  We didn't go swimming today, we just hung out at the house.
  Makena is already making lists for everybody of what she wants for her birthday, and the countdown has begun:  10 days from today and the  princess will be 9!  I remember very well the 4th of July that I was pregnant with her.  I was SO ready to have her because it was SO hot and I was miserable but she was perfectly content where she was out and I was induced a mere 4 days before my due date.  She has been attached to her Momma ever since :) 
I know, I keep getting sidetracked...I think it's from the lack of sleep.  Well, that and I'm watching Hope Floats and trying to think and type at the same time!  Not going to good for me, so I think it's time to say  "Good Night"!

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...
