January Blues

Here we are at the end of January and this is only my third post. January is my very least favorite month. I think it is partly because it is the "dead of winter " and partly because I have suffered from seasonal depression for most of my adult life. I need sunshine and warm weather and even though I now take medication for it, I still struggle. I guess the fact the sun has been out for about 5 days the whole month has attributed to my blues and my absence from blogging. Here are a few pictures to catch you up.
Trey and Sadie were checking out the snow!

He did not throw that at me

Carl and the kids

Me with the kids

Getting our groove back!

Carl, my Dad, and Trey got to go on a guided hunting trip.
Usually Carl plays guide at the farm :)

T-Man and his buddies made the paper

Carlie was getting a little coaching.

Finally got some of Makena's instruments hung up

The Munger Family with Miss Ellie Kate

Makena had fun at EK's birthday party.

Carlie was very nervous about walking the beam!

Trey loved jumping in the pit.

Another Saturday morning bowling session. Makena decided to join this week!!

Cute kids, ugly Sunday morning.

Carlie tries to help Makena with her Algebra, Trey is working on his space project, and Makena is showing off her new apron for her Family Consumer Sciences class.
That's All Folks!

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...
