Pretty Girls, Deer Stands, and T-Shirts!

My girls are really into doing their hair these days. Makena decided that she was going to straighten hers. Her hair is extremely thick and curly, and straightening it is NOT and easy task. Carlie has some natural curl too, but she used the curling iron and made it more curly on the ends. These are fun times but they often lead to us running a little late....I'm trying to teach them to start a little earlier....we're still working on that!

This has been our project of the week! Every day after Carl has gotten home, we have gone out to work on the deer stand! This is kind of the family stand. He wouldn't dare take us all at one time, but each person goes with him individually. The kids really like to go, even though Carlie is the only one who has shot ever shot a deer. We've all painted on it, and the kids have done a little drilling on it. Me, I just mainly watch :)

Trey has just started riding the big 4wheeler. He looks so tiny on it! He can't drive it very fast because he is so small....he has to push is feet against the back of it so he can turn! He is very careful and we always watch him closely (usually one of the girls rides with him).

So everybody knows how much I love owls :) Well, Carlie got this t-shirt for me for my birthday, and I just love it :)

Well, that's about all I have for today! This will be our last week before school starts and like always, we will be having our annual Back To School photo shoot, so stay tuned!

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 his wings. He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

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 say we went swi

Back To School Photo Shoot: The Girls

The girls were of course more than eager to do their pictures, T however, was not. That is why we still haven't done it yet! Hmmm....maybe a bribe would work!
