You're A Grand Old Flag!

Our attempt at a Flag Cake!

This scares me a little!

What a beautiful day!!  We went to church this morning and then had our 5Th Sunday services that included potluck and singing (just not at the same time!).  The kids wanted to help me make a flag cake, so I let them do it...I made the cake last night and then this morning before church I let them add the strawberries and blueberries.  They loved that they got to help! After church it was time to head to the pool and thankfully today, Carl was home to play with Trey.  He LOVES to have someone to play with in the pool.  He is getting a lot more brave when it comes to swimming without his floaties.  He did this last year, but he's just remembering that he can do it again.  He's even figured out how to make himself go to the bottom of the pool to retrieve dive rings :)  The girls are old pros at the pool.  They play all kinds of different games, and are really excited to have friends come and swim with them.  Yesterday Bonnie came to swim with them and believe it or not the three of them play really well together.  Bonnie is a very sweet girl, though.  She always is the first to make sure no one is left out :) 
We had a fish fry at my Papaw's yesterday afternoon and  Carl actually got to come.  We got to see lots of family that we don't get to see that often and have a nice visit.  The food was really good too!
Tomorrow Carl has to work--BOO!!  Maybe one of these little showers will come and he'll get off early.  I think they only have 160 acres of beans left to plant, and I know they have to get it done, but I just hate it that he can't be with us.  We are planning to spend the whole day at the pool and having cook outs at both lunch and dinner. 
Hope you all are having a great Memorial Day Weekend!!

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

 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...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
