More Birthday Celebrations!

As I mentioned in my previous post, Grammy had her birthday on Friday and Saturday was Papaw T.R.'s birthday!  We had WAY too much cake and ice cream this weekend :) 
All the kids (and Nanny) helped blow the candles out :)

Saturday we headed to Jonesboro for T.R.'s birthday.  Carl had to go check some more water at the farm (AGAIN!) and then he had to help the men at the church clean up (revival this week), and we finally got to leave around 11:15.  It was a great day with lots of good food, swimming, and visiting. 
Pool Basketball was a BIG hit!

Nana had to show us her moves too!

Trey found a buddy in Kyle

Makena was soakin' up some sun!

Kyle showed Trey how to make a Mohawk...well, he tried
anyway!

Carl and T.R. were pondering something!

Makena and Keely had fun playing in the pool together

T, just being T

Papaw T.R.'s birthday cake

Poor Brock couldn't wait for us to leave so he could get out
and play!

We got home around 8 and all the kids were in bed by 9.  And if you're wondering, NOBODY fell asleep on the way home in the car!  Yes, it was oh so much fun :)  We aren't looking too forward to Nana and Papaw T.R. moving to Jonesboro because of that long drive! 

Today we went to church and ate afterwards.  It was our Homecoming service.  Bro. Jeff told us all about the history of our church and the stand that it has taken in our community for over 130 years!  How awesome is that?!  It was great weekend and we are looking forward to a great revival this week.  My brother-in-law, Cody will be bringing the messages each night, so we will get to hang out with the Simpson's for a few days this week!

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
