Happy Love Day!

Carlie got a HUGE bag of Swedish Fish!

Makena got chocolates

Trey got his in bed because he woke up feeling yucky!

Even the dog and cat were loving on each other!!

When Carl got home from work he brought all of us goodies😊

We also had Discovery on Valentine's night. We had pizza, games, and class time. I think that the kids had the most fun playing the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game! Trey didn't play because he just didn't feel like it. He was perfectly fine the next day (after we pumped him with his allergy meds).


The kids in the Helper class made paintings instead of playing games.

Carlie and Harleigh Brooke

Addie and Julia
Jack. This kid is a mess! He is also hilarious 😊
Definitely keeps me in my toes.

We had a pretty good love day here on the homestead. We really toned it down as far as presents go, this year. I just felt like it was getting a little too much. I got the kids goody bags with candy in them and Carl brought a couple of small things in. One of the greatest parts of the day was when my mom told me what happened when she took some of the teens around to give the widows in the church some goodies. Ya'll..one of them said that she had gone to her mailbox hoping that some one had sent her a card, but there wasn't one.  Needless to say she was thrilled that she got some goodies on this "love " day. That is what life is all about. Showing the love of God to others is a lot more important than the roses, candy, and jewelry. He loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for every single one of us. I know it is no coincidence that every preacher that has preached at our church lately has spoken about showing that same love to others because we may be the only Jesus they see. I believe God is reminding us just how important it is to show kindness and to love and serve others. 

Much Love❤

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...
