A Few New Things & Friday Night With Friends

My sweet friend, Jill got me this cute little green owl.  It is really a garden owl, but I just couldn't put him outside!  He's too cute :)
 
A local gift shop started selling these t-shirts a couple of months ago but were sold out when I went to get one, so I ordered one.  They called this week and said it was here!  I've never been a pink person, but I love this neon pink.   Makena asked me what Sugar Town was so I had to explain to her that if you take all the t's out of Stuttgart, it spells sugar.  People have called it Sugar Town for years!
 
The girls have been begging me all week to let friends come over, and despite me trying to find an excuse for this not to happen, I could think of nothing.  I mean, they did have all A's on their report cards and they haven't been in too much trouble, so I was stuck!  It's not that I mind them having people over, it's just that it's such a hassle trying to get things "company" ready and I don't have room in my car to carry all these people home!  Well, of course it worked out fine.  Carl has been getting off early, due to the fact that they can't be in the fields planting their crops (pray for an end to the rain!), so he was able to get Trey so I had room for 4 girls in my car!  That's right, 4 girls!  They had a blast and I thought that Trey would stay out of their  way and hang out with Carl, but no, he wanted to be right in the middle of them! 
All five of them.  Can you see where T is?!  In the basket on the 4wheeler with Makena and Oriah!

This is one of Makena's best friends, Oriah.  She is Mexican.  I don't know how to say this and just know that I don't mean anything bad by this, but Makena has always been fascinated with Mexicans!  It started when she was little with Dora and Diego!  When we were at the lake over the summer she hung out with a little Mexican girl the whole time we were there!  And this year, Oriah started going to our school.  I don't know what it is!!  Oriah is very sweet and very quiet.  I hardly knew she was here.
 
It has been a busy and fun week!  Did I mention that we only have 6 more weeks of school?!  :)

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...
