The Bright Eyed Brunette

This picture was taken Sunday before church. It was one of those "GET-YOUR-BUTT-OVER-THERE-AND-TAKE-A-PICURE-NOW kind if forced pic :) Trey and his gator (who evidently is a Mustang fan!). I did a little Fall/Halloween decorating on my day off. We had a fun night at Discovery Wednesday night. This game was called Toilet Paper Hike. Trey couldn't play because he hurt his knee. Ready for the Ballon Stomp Time for the devotion Dalton was drafted as a helper. I took Trey to the doctor for his knee on Thursday. He took an xray and said it was a strain. He didn't want him to go back to school that day. We got a pair of crutches and he has about broken his neck numerous times! We didn't have school on Friday (student holiday)....Woo Hoo! I loved sleeping in, I cannot lie :) We had tickets for a fish fry on Friday night, so I didn't have to cook....WHAT A DAY! Carlie woke up Saturday morning with stomach issues. Bless her heart she was up ...

Friday night we went to one of Stuttgart ' s biggest games of the year...The Battle of Arkansas County against DeWitt. I took Carlie and Trey with me to the game and Makena went with my parents to watch "War Room". Carl was working, but later joined us at the game. Trey and Carlie Selfie with the nuggets. I missed my Kena Faith! Woo Hoo, Daddy made it! Selfie with my love Trey was happy to have Maddox to sit with! The Stuttgart Marching Band. This is the first game I have been to in somewhere around 18 years...yikes! We picked an awesome game to cheer on the Ricebirds, though. They were behind most of the game. I kept saying, "Lord, if they don't win another game, PLEASE don't let us loose to DeWitt"! We were just about to give up and leave mid-way through the 4th quarter, when things started looking up. Stuttgart ended up winning by 3 points in the last 4 seconds!! Very exciting win. Makena really enjoyed the movie and didn't...

This is one of my very favorite times of the year...ARCO Fair Week!! The sun was very bright but I got a picture anyway. Whoever thought of this was a genius! Blurry picture :/ We always have to go on the giant slide! This reminds me of a few people! Gotta love the barnyard :) Much Love Beth

We celebrated Trey's birthday on his actual birthday this year! We had a hunting themed party at our house and invited my sister and her kids, my parents, and my grandparents. This is his cake We also had hot dogs and chili :) Everyone enjoyed the food! He got a Snack-eez Legos! He got SO many Lego sets. He loved this airplane Lego set. Carl, helping Eli shoot at the balloons. Shooting from their "deer stand" Trey is always the boss..always. 4 wheeler riding Eli was burning us up in that hoodie! The whole crew And again! We had a bonfire that night after Carl got off work. We had a great day and Trey said it was his best birthday ever. That makes me happy too! Happy Birthday, T-Man!! We love you and are so proud of the young man you are becoming. Much Love Beth

We starting celebrating Trey's birthday a week before his actual birthday. My grandparents wanted him to come to their house and have a mini celebration. My Papa bought a gun from Carl several years ago and he wanted to give it to Trey now. Trey had no idea about it though! Grammy made him a pecan pie and they had it all planned out where he opened the shells first. He said thank-you even though he didn't know what he was gonna use them for. Then Papa came in carrying the gun :) It was a special moment. The girls knew about it the whole time. They were as excited for him as anybody! All grins...even if he thought they were crazy! You think he was excited?! It was a great way to start off his birthday week! Wednesday night our Discovery kids sang Happy Birthday to him and another kid. And on Thursday he got a MAJOR surprise from me and Carl...a guinea pig named Peanut! Look at his face! He loves her! She likes to "talk" to you :) Lots of sn...
