A Birthday, Church Camp, & Fishing

Happy Birthday to ME!!
Yesterday was actually my birthday, but we pretty much celebrated all weekend long.  We went to eat Chinese on Friday night and then we went to Little Rock on Saturday, and my parents took us out after church for lunch.  I had a great birthday :)

Our church camp crew with Carlie, Trey, George Strait (white dog), and Remy (black dog)!

This girl was super excited to leave for camp :)
I will miss her so much, but I had to let her go...it's just a part of growing up that I will have to get used to, I guess.

My sista and the kids came to see me today and bring me my birthday present!
The kids enjoyed my cake too :)

Jamie made me these Razorback pillows to go on my (very dirty) Razorback bench!
I love them!

We finished the day up by trying to catch some fish.  We didn't get any, but we had a good time anyway.  I was proudly sportin' my Mama Bear shirt from Amazon.  It fits my personality perfectly!!

I am waiting for Makena to call me and tell me good night as I am typing this post.  I have gotten nothing but happy reports from her and my mother since they left.  She doesn't have much cell service, which is not making me very happy, but as long as I hear from her once or twice a day, I guess I will be okay.  She has also decided that she wants to work at a camp when she is older (don't go rushing things, sister).  I can totally see her doing that.
Carlie, Trey, and I went to the Superintendent's office today to fill out an Intent to Homeschool waiver.  It is very real now and we are excited.  I have worked this past week on getting the kids signed up for some activities so they will be "socialized", which is almost a joke.  They have church and it's not like we are going to be secluded to our house. They will be fine, and I'm not just saying that to reassure myself.  I am saying it because it is true.  Trey will not have a teacher that will refuse to let him leave the room when they clean the class on Fridays (remember his dust mite allergy), Carlie will not have to put up with an impartial teacher who teaches both of her hellion kids ( Makena would be in that class this year too), and I will not have to work where I have to bite my tongue off the majority of the day!  It's a win-win-win!!!

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

 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...
