Our Weekend

The past two weekends at our house have been spent doing yard work--BOO!  But thankfully, Carl hasn't been too busy on Saturdays and we've been able to get some things done that have been pushed to the back burner.  Of course the best part of working hard all day is grilling out and relaxing in the evening!  We've been eating pretty good :)
Here are a few pictures from this past weekend:
Trey loves to help with anything outside and especially anything with his Daddy!
I'm not sure if you can see his little head in the drivers seat of the truck up there, but this is the old farm truck that Carl brought the tractor home with and all weekend long Trey kept saying that this was going to be his truck when he "gets big".  I'm sure by that time, he will not want it!
And the bottom picture are the beans that Trey and Makena helped Carl plant, so we always refer to that field as Trey and Makena's beans :)
 
The humidity was extremely high on Saturday, so after a full morning and a half of working, we decided to take a break and go swimming.  My parents were out of town, so it was just us, but of course Daddy was home, so nothing else mattered!
 
We took our evening stroll through the farm so Carlie could have another driving lesson.  Makena got to drive too, but I didn't get a picture of her.  They are both doing a great job!!  Much improvement from last year :)
 
After a pretty busy week of Revival and school shopping, it was nice to just hang out and enjoy our time together at home.  My kids are counting down the days until school starts...crazy, right?!  I believe the count is 15 days as of today!  I feel like we just got out of school and I'm not sure that I am ready to go back!! 
 
Ready or not, it's coming!!

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...
