First Week Success!

I would say that our first week of school was a success! We worked our scheduling issues out, so now we are all good!
Trey says that his favorite classes are Language (what?) and Science, but he also likes Arithmetic! Who is this kid?! I am so pleased that he enjoys learning now. There is no competition with anyone (except himself) which only makes him a stronger student 😊, which makes me a happy Mama..it's a win/win!!
Makena really likes Spanish. Carlie hated it. Makena has been speaking some Spanish since she was 2 or 3. I would teach her little songs, and how to count to 10...and she loved Dora and Diego!!
Carlie and Makena don't agree on a lot, but the do agree that Geometry sucks! I've told them that it is too early to be forming such strong opinions about a subject!! Hopefully it will grow on them.
Carlie likes Physics (thank you Lord) and World History.
Here are some pictures from our first week:

Can somebody please tell me when he grew up?! We were on break and he wanted me to come out to his tree house to show me some new stuff he put up there.

Carlie was really concentrating

For some reason it seems to work out that every Thursday evening we go to the river! This week was no different. Makena and Trey decided to tube this time but Carlie still wouldn't!

Noah and Carlie planned a party on Friday for surviving our first week!

We had a pizza pool party!

Eli and Carlie were having a pizza eating contest! I think he beat her by one piece (technically, he doesn't eat all of the pizza but in his mind HE won). He ate 6 and she at 5!

The boys playing with Makena. They love it when she plays basketball with them. Usually they all want to be on her team.

I thought this was a pretty cool picture of Pop in the background

Happy Schooling!!

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...
