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

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...
