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...

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...
