Happy Birthday, Papa!

Papa with Carlie, Makena, and Trey

Carlie wanted her picture alone with him

I look like I really cooked a big meal or something!

The kids gave him a card and present
 
As soon as I found out that Papa's 84th birthday was on a Wednesday, I started making plans to have a dinner and cake and ice cream for him.  Grammy was working, Carl was working,  and my parents were out of town, so I planned to have it at our house with me and the kids (nobody should be alone on their birthday!).  I'm sure it wasn't as big of a deal to him as me, but when you turn 84 it IS a big deal!   I think he enjoyed the meal and especially time with the kids.  He has 10 great grand kids, but my three live closest and are very close to him. 
Happy Birthday, Papa!!  We love you and hope you have
many more :)

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...
