Just Because

Just because I cannot bear to look at the same pictures on this blog for another week, I'll post some new ones :)  Yesterday we went to Morrilton for the sale "Bargains Galore on 64".  Holy Cow, I never knew so many people would brave the insane heat to yard sale.  Jamie goes to church with a very nice, sweet lady, who let us set up some of our goodies in the front of her house.  We made pretty good money, and somehow we survived the heat.  Thankfully her yard was pretty shaded.  They kids put a few of their things in the sale and were pumped to make some extra money.  We had a very productive day, with the added bonus of getting to spend time with Jamie, Noah, and Ellie Kate.  Eli and Cody were in Conway helping a church member move. 
Only one more week until school starts and I can't believe it--any of it!! I can't believe that Carlie will be in the 4Th grade, and Makena will be in the 3rd!!  They have 2 new teachers this year, and I am very excited to see how things are going to change.  I am usually not one for change, but in this case, I think it is a very good thing for our school :)  I also can't believe that this will be my last year at home with Trey.  He will turn 5 in September and will start preschool (at home) then also.  I have found a lot of great stuff to use, and I am very excited about that too.  I've got TONS of ideas!! 
Things are going to be completely crazy around here over the next month, with Carl working late harvesting on the farm, school and preschool starting, Discovery starting up at church,  birthday parties, the county fair..... I could go on and on!!  Maybe I'll have time to take pictures and post more often.... but I'm not promising anything :)  Hope you've all had a great weekend and have found some way to beat the heat!

The kids before church this morning.
Carl and Trey at the pool.
Makena was chillaxin' by the pool
If you can't see this very well, it is a wasp that was dragging

when I was trying to get a picture of it...YUCKY!!

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 ...
