Sleepover At Nana's

Friday afternoon Carl and I decided that we would go to Wynne to stay with his mom and step-dad for the night.  The kids were super excited to go stay the night and it was kind of nice to just get away for a little while.  It was almost 7 when we got there and we had an awesome dinner of BBQ, baked beans, fresh corn on the cob, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumbers (my favorite!).  It was so good :)  We had to take a little walk around the block after that!  It was great to get a good nights sleep.  Once I was finally able to go to sleep I don't think I woke up until morning, and let me tell you, that is extremely unusual these days! Nana fixed us a yummy breakfast (chocolate gravy!!) and then we went to her neighbor's house for a garage/moving sale while Carl and T.R. went to Conway.  We got to eat lunch with Wendy, Riley, and Aunt Shirley.  It was great being able to see them.  After this weekend of eating, I definitely have to start that diet ASAP!!
 We had a really good day, but I always feel so lazy when I'm there...like I should be doing something.  We left around 3 on Saturday and had an amazingly QUIET ride back home :)  Carl and I are both so blessed to have the parents we have.  We wouldn't trade them for anything!

Makena was a little annoyed that Carlie was sleeping with her,
but Carlie didn't want to sleep in the back room by herself
so they both ended up here :)

Trey changed his mind on the back bed too, so he slept
on the couch...although I think he ended up on the floor at
some point during the night!

Trey and Riley.  Look at Trey's eyes!!!  This was after
T.R. and Carl left, so he was very happy to have another
boy around.  Riley is probably the sweetest kid I know and he is
very patient with Trey!

Poor Nana's living room was converted to a playroom!
Makena loved her Build-A-Bear and all the fun clothes and shoes.
They have been playing with them all day!

Carlie, Trey, and Nana playing Deal or No Deal

This was this morning when we came home from church.
She is smiling so big because if you look closely you can see her feeding
the kitten a whale!  The kitten was licking all the salt off of it and loved every minute of it.
Carlie the Cat Lady!  We know how she feels about dogs, though :)

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
