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. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
