Happy Mother's Day!

I'd like to give a big shout out to all the Mother's today!! It is such an important role. I realize on a daily basis how much influence I have on my children, and I try to be mindful of that with every decision I make. They are watching and learning.
I happen to think that I have one of the best Moms in the world :) She is so kind and generous, as well as completely selfless. I don't know what I'd do without her!
I'm also thankful that I have a great mother-in-law who did a great job raising my Carl! He is awesome, and I definitely think we owe that at least partly to her :)

My Mommy got me and Jamie a new pair of TOMS!

I told you she was great :)

Mom was opening her present from us....a new bag for the pool and a towel chair thingy....I know that doesn't explain it, but I'm really tired and don't want to go into it.

A class at school made this cute little flower pot (an owl) for me with a plant and a sweet little Mother's Day card signed by the kids in that class. It was so thoughtful!

The kids got me this owl bracelet. I had been looking at it for a while and Carl helped them get it for me.

I wore my new Toms the other day to school and I love them :) Thank you, Mom!

Trey made this jewelry box for me out of class in his Sunday School class. He was so proud that he decorated it all by himself! So Sweet.

Each of the kids filled out these Mom's Gazettes that my Mom found somewhere. It was so precious to see the things that mean the most to them individually. Each of them were different.

I had a great Mother's Day and I am so proud to be a Mom to my three little monkeys!!

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...
