Church Independence Day Celebration

Don't they look yummy?! Carl and Trey worked hard on Saturday to get them done just right so we could have them at our church's celebration on Sunday evening.

Trey took his job of spraying the apple juice seriously!

Miss Peyton. Yes, she is my favorite baby :)

We had a group of people from almost every age group! 

My mom was doing tattoos, so she was definitely a favorite to the little kids!

Our own little gospel group

My mom gave Kynnlea about 5 tattoos before she was satisfied!

We put a volley ball net up in the back and the kids (and adult kids) had a blast...even in the heat!
In fact my three kids stayed back there the entire time except when they were eating!!

Jaxen was helping the kiddos do sparklers

Carl worked very hard this weekend, bless his heart! He was thrilled to be asked to smoke the meat for our First Annual July Fourth Celebration at our church. Trey was a big help this time. He likes when Carl gives him specific jobs to do. We had a great crowd and the meat was delish!!
I'm so proud of my guys :)  Love them to the moon and back.  I feel awful because I didn't get a picture of my family at this event.  We had a photo booth set up and everything! The girls were there and had lots of fun playing volley ball. 
I would definitely say that it was a successful community outreach! We had visitors and hopefully we showed them that us "church people" aren't really all that bad!! 

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...

 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...
