Saturday at Home

Finally we got to stay home on a weekend!  This is the first in about 3 and on top of all the running around Christmas shopping that we've been doing, I needed the break.  But to start my morning off I had to make a trip into town to go to the clinic :(  Thankfully it was nothing bad, I just needed some medicine for my cold sores.  So when I got back home I had to finish laundry, make the kids clean their rooms, and all that fun stuff!  Carl and Trey went outside and grated the driveway and burned a few leaves.  It was so cold and windy out there, I don't know how they stayed out in it! 
Carl, working hard

Trey is a big helper

Meanwhile, Carlie and Makena were playing Monopoly inside where it was a little warmer.

While the girls went for a make-up piano lesson this afternoon, Trey and I played trains, trucks, cars, tractors, and whatever else he wanted to play :)  It reminded me of last year when he wasn't in school yet, so I said, "Trey, this reminds me of when you didn't go to school.  I miss spending time with you like we used to.  Do you miss me?"  And without skipping a beat he said, "not really." :(  But then he said he did a little!  Carl is still hunting, but not seeing a lot.  He said he saw 8 does this evening but they were running and he couldn't get a shot at them.  Oh, well, he can't have a season, every season like last years.  There is still time though. 
That pretty much wraps up our Saturday spent at home.  I just realized that I hardly ever post anything unless we are doing "something somewhere", and since this is our scrapbook, I wanted to keep it real with our boring stuff too :)

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...
