Halloween 2013

My little vampire

He was really into posing!!

Makena dressed up as Cleopatra

Her pose :)
 
This was Carlie's last minute costume. 
I had told her she was too old, but she really wanted to,
so I caved!

All three
 
Hadlee and Makena

The kids thought it was cool because Aunt Becky had scary make-up on!
 
This was definitely a Halloween like no other.  As I got out of the shower this morning (at 6:40) our electricity went out...no blinking, just poof it was gone!  So thankfully Carl was still here and helped me get them ready really fast (in the dark) so we could go eat breakfast in town.  Everything I had here at the house had to either be cooked in the microwave, stove, or toaster!  It was pouring down rain as we drove to school but we made it fun by listening to "Thriller Thursdays" on the radio while we ate our breakfast at Sonic :)  After I finally dropped them off at school I ran and bought groceries then had to go back and get Carlie out of school for her knee appointment at OrthoArkansas.  We had been waiting on committing to basketball this season until we saw the doctor, but he said that he wasn't going to tell her not to play.  It's kind of one of those things where they tell you to listen to your body!  She has Osgood-Shlettlers disease.  It has to do with the growth plate at the bottom of her knee and it is causing her pain.  She has to wear a brace to practice and the games.  Honestly, I wish she just wouldn't play but all she can think about is getting her Letterman's jacket!
I finally got back home around 11:00 but thankfully Carl was able to pick them up from school, so I didn't have to go back into town :)
They had a lot of fun trick-or-treating and got WAY too much candy! 
 
Another successful Halloween in 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

 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...
