Saturday Sillyness

Carl was having too much fun on Trey's digger!

Shh...they were kind of playing together!

Since Carl took down the old swing set, the kids have resorted to taking turns swinging on the tree swing.
This really isn't an issue because most of the time they don't even want to swing...of course when they do it's all at once!!

His Daddy pushed him this high..I wasn't a fan of it!
Oh, my little shirtless boy!

We grilled out some yummy burgers and dogs!

Then some of us went walking.  I chose to sit in my chair and take pictures instead.

Our cat, Salem, just chillin'


Until Snoopy attacked (playfully) him!

Saturday we had another fun family day.  Carl had to work that morning, but got back home by 8:30.  The heat has been so extreme this past week. I feel terrible that he has to work out in it.  It was still hot today but we were able to keep cool in the pool while Carl mowed the yard :)
I'm trying to enjoy the next few weekends that we have Carl home with us.  I know it won't be long before harvest starts and he'll be working long hours.
Something crazy happened while we were out at the pool Thursday.  My back started hurting so bad I could barely breathe.  I really thought Carlie was going to have to drive me home (thankful for all of those summer driving lessons), but I made it home and all of the kids helped me in the house and to the couch.  Makena cooked supper and Carl and the other kids helped her clean it up.  I was in a lot of pain off and on all weekend and was very thankful that I had some great medicine to take.  It finally went away on Monday!  
Glad to feel better and able to move again :)  And that's another great Saturday for the books.

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
