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

  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!...
