A Christmas Concert

My mom has been teaching my dad, Makena, Carlie, and Trey piano for the past 5 months or so.  Carlie dropped out about 8 weeks in to it.  I think it was partly because piano just isn't her thing, and partly because it just comes so natural to Makena.  I definitely know how that feels, so I didn't make her do it, but I tried to encourage her.  She still didn't want to, so we quit :(
Makena is doing great, and Trey is doing about the best that a 7 year old boy can do!  My dad is also doing well.  He too gets a little discouraged because it doesn't come to him as natural as it does to Makena.  I guess she takes after her Aunt Jamie and Nana :) 
Anyway, Sunday night we didn't have church, so we went over to my parents house to eat and have a Christmas concert from Pop and Makena. They both did so well!!  I took a couple of pictures with my phone to document the occasion :)
Pop, playing his music.  He played Silent Night, Jesus Loves Me, and God Is So Good
Makena played Silent Night, Away In A Manger, and Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer
 
I'm so proud of all of them.  Trey didn't really have a song to play yet, but is very excited about learning more. 
Keep up the good work!!

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...
