Weekend Recap: July Fourth Edition

We started our weekend off with some family time at the pool.

T was cooling off after spending the afternoon mowing.

Carlie and Caleb chilling on the steps.

Makena had a butterfly friend.

Carl was blowing bubbles!

My parents hung out with us too.

Pop and Makena were talking about 70's music.

Well, it looks like this is as close as I'm gonna get to the beach this year: the White River.

We took the boat out for a spin after dinner Friday evening. It was so peaceful!

We found a sand bar!

There were barely any last year, so you can imagine our excitement.

If you have followed along with us very long, you'll know that he is our clown. Always doing his best to make people laugh!

Everyone was getting festive!

We slept in on Saturday morning and then went over to my parents for a fish fry.

Carlie and Toby

Mr. Cool

Miss Sassy

Color changing cups are added fun

It was only my crew today.

We were out for about 45 minutes before the clouds came...then it rained all afternoon.

So we went home and took a nap 😊

And a photoshoot with my girls. Linda wasn't thrilled.

And we fixed some hot dogs, brats, and jalapeño poppers. They were delish!

My three nuggets.

Trey is finally taller than both of his big sisters.

I love him so much❤

My parents and grandparents came to watch fireworks at our house.

Happy Independence Day!!

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...
