Happy Halloween and More!

As the kids get older Halloween becomes less of a big deal.  For example, it used to be all about the cutest costume, however now it's about getting the most candy.  Needless to say, this will be Carlie's last year to trick-or-treat.  If it were up to me she wouldn't have done it this year, but Carl (yes, Carl) thought she should do it one more year!!  So, here we are; half sick (all three kids on antibiotics) and thrown together costumes:
Two witches and Jase from Duck Dynasty
Trey the Duck Man
At Aunt Becky and Uncle Deano's
Every time I see a picture of him I want to start singing the theme music: Sharp Dressed Man :)
 
I am well aware that I might not have been "fair" with my picture taking.  Yes, I did take more of T, but get over it.  He's the only one that's technically the right age for this ridiculous holiday! 
 
On a totally different note, Carlie is finally on the mend.  After taking her to the doctor and missing three days of school, she is finally back...not 100%, but back.  Her ears are still stopped up and she can't hear, but I insisted that she try and stay at school today.  I hate for her to get behind and she has a huge project due tomorrow that she hasn't even started on!  I foresee a late-niter!  Makena and Trey are sill coughing but seem to be doing better :)
 
Carl is finally done with bean harvest and finished planting the last bit of wheat today!  He is so excited to take the kids on the youth hunt this weekend.  Maybe even more excited than them.  Now he has to figure out how to take 3 kids hunting in 1day!!  I'm saying to take my Dad with them and let him take one, then Carl can take two in a pop-up stand, but he's leaning towards ME taking two and him taking one....we'll see who wins this one!    Hunting pretty much comes up in EVERY single conversation we have.  I should be used to it after almost 17 years but it still irritates me!  Seriously, I do hope he has a good season and kills lots of deer.  The only problem is that our freezer went out and we don't have anywhere to put the meat at this time.  December can't come fast enough.

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...
