A Birthday,More Swimming, and Comedy Hour

You may ask, "Do you swim everyday?!" and the answer would be yes! We enjoy our summers at the pool with friends and alone :) This week was mostly alone, and it was fantabulous!!
My dad, Pop, also celebrated his birthday on Saturday. He didn't want a cake (what?!), so we had ice creams poolside.
On Sunday, my parents had a cook out at their house followed by, you guessed it, swimming (but today we had LOTS of friends)!

Nanny, Trey, and Carlie

Every time I tried to take Makena's picture, she was under water!

Carlie with her crooked jump!

Makena and I were playing with my phone under water. You Apple people can have your iPhone, I personally LOVE my Samsung!

Pop and Trey playing pool ball on his birthday.

Everyone say, "Birthday ice cream"!

Happy Birthday, Pop!!

Makena's attempt was a failed one....she ended up falling in the pool!

Trey fell off of Dino and almost fell off the slide!

On Friday, the kids and I were out at the pool by ourselves because my parents were out of town. Trey found a butterfly :)

And Friday night we had a little fun hanging out in the screened-in tent. In Southeast Arkansas, you don't dare go outside in the evening without bug spray and some type of screen to protect you frome those blood- sucking mosquitoes! We played music and Trey got to doing his comedy routine and we laughed so hard...One day I will video it. He is hilarious!!

Look closely and you can see my crazies.....and yes, the clothes line is in the picture :)

You better Redneckinize!!

Makena Faith, jumping for joy!!

We love summer :)

Much Love,

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...
