New Years Eve/Day

Well we had made plans before we even got out for Christmas to have a New Years Eve bonfire.  Like I said, we were SUPER ready to send 2011 outta here and welcome 2012 with open arms :)  So when I bought groceries I go stuff to cook out with: chicken, burgers, potatoes, beans, all that really good stuff.  Trey also made sure that I had marshmallows and hot dogs on my list.  It was such a beautiful day yesterday too!  We spent the majority of the day outside just playing.  Everyone got over that nasty cold/cough just in time.
 I think we went out about 7 and we knew from the very beginning that the kids wouldn't make it until 12, but it was still worth a try.  They only made it until 9:30 and it wasn't even T who wanted to come in, it was Carlie!! I brought them in and gave them a shower and they watched TV for a little while and went to bed before 11.  If they don't care, I certainly don't.

we had it all goin' on...the headlights, hula hoops and the best part of the night....it wasn't cold AT ALL!

Carl got on the trampoline with the kids and they loved it.

Our spread for New Years Day at Grammy and Papa's. 
They invited us over to eat after church and man was it good!
It was a good Southern lunch: Hog Jowl, black-eyed peas, cornbread, fried potatoes, chicken strips (for the kids), mac and cheese, ham, and cabbage.  It was so yummy! 

Happy New Year!!

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...
