This And That

Well, we made it through our first week of school!  I say we because prior to Monday we had all been sleeping until 8 or 8:30.  Needless to say 6:15 comes WAY too early :(  By today it had already moved to 6:30!  Trey made the adjustment with us this week, although I let him sleep until 7:00, it was still early for him.  Next week will be his week :(  Last night I pulled out the videos of him when he was a baby and I didn't cry then, but thinking about it now makes me want to.  I even watched the dreaded video of the day he was born, I say that because it took them a while to get him to breathe.  It gives me chills every time I see it.  My mom has still to this day not watched it.  It was very scary.  Anyway, he's alive and well and VERY full of himself lately. 

We had a little incident on Wednesday with him taking off on his bike down the road ( I was walking behind him and he was supposed to stop at a certain spot but kept going leaving me way behind).  He tried to say that he didn't hear me, but I didn't buy that!  He heard me and chose not to listen to me!  He is not allowed to ride on the road for a long while and his bike has been taken away from him until tomorrow.  He cried like a baby when I told him that, but it had to be done.  He has also been very bored this week.  Today we played Candy Land and the Match Game two or three times, he played the Wii, and he watched his Monster Jam movie and Peter Pan.  By 1:00 he's ready to leave to pick the girls up!!

The girls have had a really good week this week. Makena had a minor issue on Wednesday with not being able to hear (thanks to her cold/allergies), but that has since been resolved and now poor Carlie has the same stuff!  In fact she is running a little fever and having a lot of ear pain.  We are going to try and get into the clinic tomorrow morning.  
I will start helping at school next week when Trey starts.  I am supposed to be there Mon.-Wed., but who knows, with it being T's first week, I might be there all week :)
 Back to the girls...they both have already had quizzes this week and have made all A's.  Go girls!!

Carl hasn't been really busy because we have been getting some rain and they aren't ready to start cutting rice yet.  Please keep us in your prayers.  We have a situation/opportunity (depending on who you ask) that has been presented to us.  It's so funny that "this" happened just a couple of days after I wrote my contentment post!  We are still content (not to be confused with complacent), and we both completely agree on one thing...we don't want to be anywhere but where God wants us to be.  We are earnestly seeking his direction and plan for our lives.
"Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path."  Psalm 119:105

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...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
