A Roadtrip, Snowcones, and A Smelly Friend

Makena and Trey were making the best out of a long trip

Me and my pretty girl-in-the-middle.  Carlie wasn't ever around us :(
 
We stopped by our favorite place before going back home to get a snow cone.
Carl got them mediums and my car it still sticky! 

The smelly little friend we found.  He was with his mother, but when we let Sam out, the mother ran off and left the baby, but not before it sprayed Sam!  It didn't get him really good, but he did smell pretty bad for a few days.

Saturday we went to Russellville to go to my nephew Noah's Kindergarten Graduation.  He is home schooled and just finished his work, so they had a little ceremony and reception for him then all of the kids played outside on the bouncy slide.  Makena didn't want to play on it, but Carlie and Trey did.  Too bad I didn't get one single picture of them on it.  Makena was just glued to my side that day for some reason.  I think that sometimes she gets a little insecure when we are around people that she doesn't know. Or, maybe she was just needing me more that day!  I'll take what I can get :)

When we made our way back to Stuttgart we stopped and got a snow cone at Tropical Sno.  We haven't had one since school got out, so it was a nice little treat :)  Only mistake I made was letting Carl order.  He got all of the kids mediums!!  We had such a huge mess in the car.  I'm still finding sticky places.

When we finally made it back to our house and ate supper (yes, after eating snow cones!) we made a trip out to the farm to let Sam run.  He loves that, but on this trip he found a not so friendly friend...a skunk!  Well, this skunk had a baby with it and Carl rescued it from Sam.  It was such a fiasco!  Sam got sprayed, but the baby skunk was safe and Carl put it back where the mother had left him. When we drove back by later the baby was gone, so I guess it was reunited with it's mom.  The kids thought this was the absolute coolest trip to the farm EVER!  They even got to pet the baby skunk!  I on the other hand, passed :)

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...
