We Made It!

Oh, Yeah, we made it through our first week of school!!!  I am very pleased to report that all the kiddos are loving their classes :)
 Carlie seems to like being in with the older kids and is adjusting very well to being in with different kids.  She has already had a few quizzes this week and made 100's on all of them except History.  What is it with her and History?!  She made a new/old friend, Camryn.  Camryn has been to VBS at our church in the past and actually lives out here by us, but we don't really run in the same circles, so we hardly see her and her family.
Makena is doing great too!  She has made a new friend, Oriah.  Oriah moved here with her family from Texas about three years ago and has previously attended the Catholic School here in town and her brother Meshach has attended our school, but this is her first year here at our school.  She is in the 4th grade and Makena is in the 5th, but they are in the same room, so they get to see each other all day.  Makena had two quizzes on Friday, but doesn't know what she made on them yet.  I'm not worried :)
Trey has had a pretty good week too!  He isn't wanting to wear his glasses during the video like he is supposed to (he said that his headphones hit them and hurt his head), so we've had a little talk and told him he HAS to wear them during video.  He did very well in class until yesterday.  He was still behaving well, he just got caught talking in class, so he got a stick pulled.  One for the whole week isn't that bad (I guess.).  Mrs. Odom still considers him one of her best students.  He's just a boy :)  Next week homework starts for everybody, so the madness will begin.  I sure hope I can help them study like I have in the past....now I'll just have to make room for one more!

Makena was being silly....dressed up like a witch!

Carlie's turn to drive!  They all love it when she drives because she is a little crazy with her driving.  I have to tell her a lot to slow down and not turn so sharp!

Look Out!  Now T's driving.  Don't worry, I'm never far....

I guess that's about all for now.  Carl has been working late all week, but I just keep reminding myself that every late night is getting us closer to being done! 
Tomorrow is church and Carlie is going to Hot Springs with my dad afterwards.  She's been begging him to take her on one of his trips all summer long, so here it is at the end and she's finally going :)  I guess they'll have a little bonding time! 
 
Happy Weekend!!

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!  He's been wanting Open Season 2 out of the $5 bin at Wal-Mart :)  We are super excited about Open House tomorrow night and about school on Monday :)  Beth
