State Bowling Tourney 2018

All smiles in J-Town

Makena and Trey were ready for doubles

Yes, Carlie gets her Daddy to tie her shoes good and tight!

Three of the four Stuttgart teams bowled beside each other on Saturday.

Sunday morning came bright and early!
Carlie's team wore alien shirts.

Trey and Makena's team

T-Man came home with three patches!
Carl and I were so proud of him.

Trey and Makena got 5th place overall in doubles. 
That is out of 120 doubles! They did awesome.
Keep in mind that this was the first tournament for both of them.

On April 28th all five Mungers headed to Jonesboro for the Arkansas State Youth Bowling Tournament. We had fun, made tons of memories, and came home winners!
I have had some people ask me how we got into bowling. First of all let me just say that we are not "bowling people". Carl bowled some in high school but it was just for fun. I am terrible at it. The opportunity just fell in our laps, really. We were bowling with family not long after Christmas a couple of years ago and the owners told us about a scholarship league that ran for 10 weeks and started the first Saturday in January. The kids and I had been looking for an activity to join, especially for the girls. Every city league team goes to the 6th grade, so there was basically nothing for them to join. They showed interest in trying and here we are!
Back to the tournament...we bowled six games on Saturday and three on Sunday. It was a pretty quick trip, but definitely worth it. The kids were around tons of other kids and seemed to really enjoy themselves. Just to make things crystal clear, I am in NO way concerned about the socialization of my kids. I am just stating the fact that they were around plenty of other kids...for those of you who may worry about them. Forced association is NOT in any way, shape, or form socialization...I firmly believe that. 
So there you have it fun, memories, and winning= AWESOME WEEKEND!!

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...

  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...
