A Weekend of Celebrations!

After we took our trip to Morrilton on Friday, my house was in some major need of a good cleaning, so that is what went on  here on Saturday morning.  Carl had to work so I cleaned and cleaned, then he came home and mowed, so I cleaned and did laundry some more!  I'll be the first to admit that my life has been completely chaotic and unorganized for the whole summer, so with the kids school getting ready to start, and my school wrapping up, I thought it would be he perfect time to get organized!  I got the idea to make a "master planner" from this site.  I gathered the stuff I needed from Staples and was happy with how it turned out.  I have a few more things and maybe a little bling, then I'll show you the finished product.  I'm super excited about it :)
Now back to the weekend:
Saturday afternoon we all went swimming and had a lot of fun with water balloons in the pool.  Even Pop quit being a grouch for a while and played along.  He usually doesn't like us to play with them in the pool because of all the little pieces....and you wonder why I am the way I am?!
Anyway, Carl and I got to have our date night that night.  We went out to eat and then shopped around for a bit before coming back home.  It was so nice to be able to hold an adult conversation.  We needed that:  Thanks Nanny!
Today is my birthday:  I turned 29....again :)  Carl made muffins for me and then we went to church.  We ate lunch at my mom and dad's then came home to rest.  Carl had to got back to work to change around some water, only when he got there is wasn't ready, so he made it back in time for church....I don't like going by myself.  I'd better mention that when Carl and I went on our date night my parents took the kids to buy me birthday gifts.  They let each of them pick out their  own gifts:  Carlie got me a yummy smelling candle :)  Makena got me a kitchen towel and potholder set (apples!) :)  Trey got me a razorback key chain :)  They were so excited for me to open them that I had to do it that night instead of today!  Gotta love that enthusiasm.  I also got a little special gift from my secret sister.  I love that :)
So, that's it; that's our weekend.  I think I celebrated a little everyday of the weekend :)  Isn't that how it's supposed to be?!

Hope you all have a great 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...
