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,
Beth

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
