A Wedding and Two Birthdays!

We began the month of November with a wedding! Carlie's roommate from college, Destini got married and invited all of us!  Unfortunately, Makena had to head back to school and Trey was sick.  Carl and I took Wrenley and Caleb to the wedding because Carlie had to be with the other bridesmaids.  Wrenley was  also in the wedding as a flower girl.  Destini is a very sweet girl, and we are so glad that she and Carlie met and became friends.

Carlie and Wrenley

Caleb and Wrenley

We kind of love her :)

This past weekend was my mom and Carlie's birthdays.  Carlie was my 35 week-er.  She was only 4lbs and 12 oz. and a tiny 18 inches long.  I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to bring her home right away, but thankfully that wasn't the case.  She was a really fussy baby, and a super busy, smart, non-sleeping toddler.... but every bit of that was worth it.  Wrenley reminds me so much of her as a toddler.  I am very proud of her.  She is an amazing wife and mother, and she is very career oriented.  She is pretty much supermom in my eyes.  Happy 23rd Birthday, Carlie Erin!!


My mom is also a super woman!  She is taking care of my grandmother and her dog for the majority of the time, looking out for dad, her kids, and her grandkids.  She plays a large role in our church and all of the activities there. I love her so much.  Happy Birthday, Mom!!
 
Makena is busy with schoolwork, playing bass in the praise band on Tuesday nights, and helping out with our Christmas Program at our church when she is home. She is a very busy lady!  We were glad she made it home for the birthday celebration :)




Trey is still getting his schoolwork done in the morning and then goes to work in the afternoons (1-5).  He is also super excited about hunting.  Gun season opened on Saturday and both Carl and Trey went hunting.  They saw a few does but not that big buck they were hoping for!
Sadly, Trey illuded all of my pictures.  

This fall I have challenged myself to focus on all God has done for me; to share with others about God's goodness to me, focus on my blessings, and let His joy take control of my life and be in charge of my heart and attitude.

"Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all He has done." Colossians 2:17B

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...

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...
