So Random


This post is going to be so completely random, but I'm now in the mood to blog, so here it goes :)

My three little monkeys.  We took this on Saturday, which was a long day because Carl was working all day, but we had a great day anyway.  Mom invited us over to eat supper and then we went for a nice walk down at the river.  Speaking of the river.... in May we (the citizens of Arkansas Co.) learned that Reece Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey would be in our county and two surrounding counties making the movie "Mud".  There were two big houseboats that were put in at our landing for the taping of this movie :)  Did I mention that I love Reece Witherspoon?!?  She is probably my absolute favorite actress.  Maybe I'll get to meet her :)

About three or four weeks ago we got a new student at our school.  His name is David and he is from China.  He speaks English pretty well, is very funny, and actually has to act as interpreter for his parents who speak absolutely NO English.  Anyway, while warming up David's lunch one day, the above picture is what I found.  I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by it.  Squid is not something that I am used to seeing when I open up a lunch container....and to be honest, I'd be fine the rest of my like without seeing it again!  It smelled awful warming up too....needless to say, I ate light for lunch that day!

I finally remembered to get a picture of the kids with our neighbor, Mr. Carl (the pie man).  We just had to go have a pie tonight after supper.  He gave me a fried coconut pie on the house....I certainly did not need it, but it would have been rude not to take it, right?!  One day, maybe he'll come up with a fat-free pie.  Oh, and please excuse the clothing that my kids have on....T's boots, and Makena's non-matching shirt....we were at home in our play clothes when we decided to get a pie :)
Look at the babies!  They are growing up so fast and so cute!  They are going to new homes this weekend.  I am happy about this, but I know the kids aren't going to be.  We are keeping one, a boy that Makena named, Elvis. 

Happy Monday, Friends :)

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...
