Gulf Shores 2018

We made a quick trip to Gulf Shores, AL last week and had a blast! Of course it wasn't nearly long enough, but I think all five of us made our time count.  Carlie is still our little group activity leader. She likes to browse venues and suggest things that we all might like to do.  I shutter to think about our family vacations as we know them ending soon.  If all goes as planned (haha) she will be starting the Baptist Health School at the beginning of next July.  It is a scary thought for this Mama, but more on that in another post!
We left early Monday morning and came back Thursday night.  Carl and Carlie both worked on Friday...boo! I think that is the shortest time Carl has been off for vacation, EVER. 
 Here are a few pictures I took while we were down on the coast. Due to our circumstances, I was determined to spend more time enjoying my family than taking pictures of my family enjoying vacation, does that make sense?
Ready to be out of Mississippi!

When you've been riding so long and you are extremely bored, you give yourself a mustache!

Finally out of Mississippi..I swear it is really the size of Texas!

Carlie Erin got this nifty frisbee because she got a kids meal at Sea n Suds. It is one of our favorite places to eat in GS.


These two spent countless hours on the balcony!

They were actually fighting because Carlie didn't want to be in the middle.

Until next time...

Back through the tunnel we go.

We had an enjoyable trip and made lots of memories!

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

  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...
