Merry Christmas!

This morning we got up and opened our presents at our house!  The kids were so excited to see what all they got.

Can you see the excitement on Trey's face when I said, "Go"?!

 Carlie got the phone case she has been wanting :)

Makena also got a phone case for her phone!

Makena got the Nike slide on shoes she wanted too!

New Nike sack for basketball

A truck he picked out at Tractor Supply
She was really happy about her new Patagonia!

And some little girl got the exact laptop she asked for!
I really had to push Carl into this. He didn't think she needed one, but she does have a lot of papers to do, and that's only going to increase in the coming years! She was so happy :)

And this little girl got her purple bicycle that she has been wanting!
She kept saying, "But it's not at Wal-Mart anymore" and finally Carlie said, "Well, if they got it for you then it wouldn't be at Wal-Mart anymore would it?!"!  Duh, Makena!  She is such a blonde sometimes!

And Trey got the gun that him and Carl have been looking at and talking about for months!
I never got a good picture of it that morning with my camera, but I have a feeling that a post in the near future will be nothing but a phone picture dump!
He was pumped!
And Snoopy got some toys too!

And again.

God has truly blessed us this Christmas!  Not only with all of the gifts that we just "loved" (my Dad says, "love people, like things."), but with our health, families, and friends. I'm grateful for the memories we have made this holiday season, and I know I say it every year, but this is the best one yet!
  I'm so grateful most of all,  that God sent his Son to come so lowly in a manger, die on the cross, and be raised from death so that we may have everlasting life.  That's what Christmas is truly about.

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...
