Getting Spooky: The Rest of October

The rest of October was pretty much a blur. We were busy doing all the fun fall things!

The girls and I went to our town's Homecoming Parade. We dressed Wrenley up in her little cheerleading uniform and headed downtown. She loved watching the band and all of the kids running to get candy. Even though it wasn't her first Homecoming parade (her mom took her last year), it was so fun watching her for the first time. I have a feeling that all of the holiday season will be enjoyed just seeing things through Wrenley's eyes.

This was actually the very day that Carl finished harvest!! I am so happy that is behind us.

Now Halloween. The week of Halloween was the coldest that we have had this fall. So cold, in fact, that Carl was off for the first 3 days of the week. Wrenley thoroughly enjoyed having her Pappy here to play with. She gets bored with me sometimes.

Pappy took her to see the chickens. She loved it!

Carl built this little set-up for me. It was Charlotte's Web themed.

If you look closely, you can see "some pig" in the web.

The cutest little mouse to ever be caught in a trap!

I mean...

Grammy and Wren

she was fascinated by this pumpkin pig

BeBe and Wren...partners in crime!

Our church held its annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween night. I was very happy that Carlie and Caleb brought Wrenley out. The bags under my eyes are from getting up at 5:30 a.m. to go pick her up, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hot tub selfie!

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...
