This and That

T got his glasses today!  He doesn't have to wear them all of the time, just when he's in class.  The first thing he said when he got in the car was, "I look smart"!  He's so cute :)

After what was supposed to be a short trip to town to get Trey's glasses, go to the bank, and run in Wal-Mart turned into the whole morning, we came back to Mom's to eat lunch with the Simpson's.  The kids decorated cookies for the 4th of July and then we went swimming.  Trey loves having Noah and Eli to swim with, and the girls like having Ellie Kate to "baby".  She does eventually get tired of them though.

I put this on Twitter last night, but is this not the dumbest pool toy ever?!  A giraffe?!  Because they swim so often!
Carlie with her cookies she decorated.  I think there was a little accident with the sprinkles and the boys, so her cookies are barely decorated. 
The girls and I did 4th of July pedicures this afternoon.  They always have such a good time doing it, but this is the first time that we have all matched!  Of course we had to all have our own little "take" on it, but it was fun.  I really wish that Jamie and Ellie Kate would have still been here to do it with us!  Just the girls :)  Oh, and they do look much better in person...the blue is sparkles!

It's been a fun, busy day!

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...
