Memorial Day Fun!

Happy Memorial Day!  And thank you to all of you who have fought for our freedom!!  We celebrated Memorial Day by having a cook out at my Mom and Dad's house with my grandparents.  Carl had to work this year...BOO!!  And my sister and her kids weren't able to be here, but surprisingly my kids had a blast having the pool to themselves :)
Carl made it in just in time for lunch and then had to head back out to the field.
 
Mr. Jim and Mrs. Amy came by and took Trey for a little ride!
He loved it and talked their ears off the whole time!
 
After we ate and Carl went back to work, we headed out to the pool.
My mom bought this Bonsai Ball that is kind of like hot potato but with a water balloon.
It has a timer on it and when it goes off, the water balloon bursts!  It's a lot of fun :)
 
He missed his Daddy, but he still tried to have fun!
 
Carlie made a flag, but didn't want her picture made with it because her hair was too messy!!
Trey with his art.  He was the only one that would let me take his picture today!!

Makena decided not to draw a flag, but instead drew a heart that says Jesus Loves!
 
And here is yet, another picture of T. 
He was floating around with Pop, trying to do everything he did :)

 I forgot to post this one Friday, but here are my three monkey's in the truck on the way to Graduation.
 
And this one was taken yesterday before church.
 
I finally made them stop and take on for me after we got back home from swimming!!  Carlie was still worried about her hair, and please, don't pay much attention to our "play attire"!
 
It was a pretty fun day, even though we didn't have Carl with us!  I know we won't have him everyday all summer long, but it's just different when it's a holiday!
 
Happy Memorial Day!!

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...
