Happy First Day of School!

Well, today was the first day of school for my sweet girls.  I don't think either of them slept much last night because of their anticipation of the new school year :)  I remember doing the same thing!  Of course we were up and out the door (for pictures) in record time....don't be too hopeful, it doesn't usually last past the first week.  Grammy and Nanny both came to the house to get their own pictures of the girls.  Trey kind of wanted to go to school today, too, but then he enjoyed his time home alone today.  Nobody to fight with, nobody to tell him he couldn't play the Wii, nobody saying "Get out of our room, Trey!".  You get the picture!  Now here are a few of the pictures I got this morning:
They were so ready to leave!

My 4th grader, Makena

My 5th grader, Carlie

Nanny took this picture....and Carlie and Makena are looking
at the dog while Trey and I are cheesing away.  Note to self:
don't wear this shirt again it makes my arms look fat :(

They told me this afternoon that they had a great day except that the lunches were late, the bells weren't ringing, and the fire alarm went off twice (no fire)!  Maybe by the time I work up there next week all the glitches will be worked out.  They both talked and talked about their video teachers, and which ones they liked best.  Carlie has a man teacher for the first time, ever, and she said he is her favorite.  Poor Makena is half sick, but is still going.  She has sinus issues that are causing a hacky cough and a bit of a sore throat.  So, she went to school with a bag of cough drops.  I hope she gets better soon.  We were so blessed not to be sick very much last year and I'm praying this year is a repeat of that. 
All in all it was a great day, and I'm very thankful to be able to send my kids to the school they are in :)
Happy First Day of School!!

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...
