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!

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...
