Heading South/Biloxi Beach 2013

This was only about half of our luggage!
Why is it that I feel like I'm packing to stay a year, every time we go somewhere?!
 
Heading South! We left around 4:15 and the kids did great! 
They were tired and rested a lot.  We only stopped 2 times on the way down :)
 
I see the beach!!
 
Trey was being silly in the elevator
 
Their first look at the Gulf
 
Trey had fun making a castle

The girls were making one too!

I had to take a picture of this cute little seagull.  They stayed pretty close to us the whole day.
 
More playing in the sand
 
I'm not sure what she was doing here.
 
She was looking for shells.
 
The seagull (we named him Sully) was back again!

Trey's finished product.  I'm not sure what happened to the castle.
 
We spotted a sailboat, too.
 
For the first time in the history of our family, we decided to head South for our vacation this year.  This was kind of a test beach trip for us.  We decided to head to Biloxi, MS.  The kids loved it, and even though the water isn't pretty blue green like in Florida, it is clear...just shallow, and that's what makes it the color it is. 
 
Maybe next year we'll venture further east to Florida, but it was a very fun trip and we say lots of things we had never (as a family) seen before.

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...
