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.

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

 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...
