Happy Birthday, Makena!

Birthday Princess

She was upset because Trey helped her
blow her candles out! 
My pretty birthday girl

I know EVERY mother says this on EVERY birthday for EVERY child, but I have to say it.... I can't believe that she's already 8 years old!  Where did the time go?  There are days that I just wish I could go back to when she was 1 and Carlie was 3.  Things were a lot more simple and in some ways easier.  There was no sassy mouth, no big fights.  I know back then I thought I couldn't wait until they could do things themselves, now it's like with every birthday I'm losing them a little bit.  I mean in eight more years we'll be looking at cars (and that is a whole other scary subject!)!   I'm just glad that God has got eight more years to prepare me for that :)
 We didn't get to have a big party this year because we have all been sick.  Carlie got a stomach bug on Friday night, Makena and Trey both woke up with it on Monday.  Thankfully I haven't had all that they did, but Carl and I both got a touch of it.  Not fun stuff.  Carl grilled hamburgers last night and we had my parents and grandparents come over and eat cake and ice cream.  She wants to have a few friends over this weekend to swim.  She said she had a great birthday and liked everything she got!  Happy Birthday, Makena Faith!! We are so proud of you and love you bunches :)

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
