Happy 11th Birthday, Makena Faith!

Happy Birthday, to my sweet Makena Faith!
I always have fun making these collages.
I'll admit that I did get a bit teary looking through all of
her baby pictures!  I can't believe how grown up she is now.
 
She called Grammy and asked her to make her a Hershey Bar cake.
They are delicious!

Blowing out her candles
 
The Simpson's got her a peace sign teddy bear. 
You're never too old for stuffed animals.

Noah made her a funny card and couldn't wait to show everyone!
 
 
Nanny and Pop got her a Google Nextbook. 
Yes, she did just get a tablet for Christmas, but the week after school
let out she dropped it on our hard wood floor and busted the screen.
This one is bigger and has a camera on it.  She loved it!
 

She also got lots of money.
 

Carl and I got her a Vera Bradley purse that is purple, of course!
 

She is One Directions biggest fan, I promise!
The card sang "One Thing".
 
The Birthday Girl on her Birthday!
She wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese's.

Everybody was so hungry when our pizza came out!
Carlie and Trey were both very sweet (unusually) to Makena on "her" day!
 
We celebrated Makena's  11th Birthday most of the weekend!  Friday night we had a family party, here at our house.  The Simpson's, Nanny and Pop, and Grammy and Papa all came.  She got the majority of her presents that night.  I made her wait until Saturday to give her mine :)  I think she enjoyed getting mail as much or more than anything else! 
After Carl got home from work Saturday morning we went to Little Rock to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheese's and we shopped around a little bit too! 
Overall, I think she had a great birthday!  She said she did anyway :)
I am so proud of her! 
We love you to the moon and back, sweet Makena!

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...
