Things I Want To Remember About This Summer

Since school about to start, I wanted to take the time and write about the things I want to remember most about this summer. 
So here they are in no particular order(after the first one, of course!):

  1. Carlie being saved and baptized.  I think this one speaks for itself :)  Best thing about this summer!  It was such an answered prayer.
  2. Makena learning how to do her back bend from a standing position.  This is something that she was determined to do, and even though it was tough for her, she did accomplish it and we are very proud of her.
  3. Trey learning how to swim on his own without floaties.  I wasn't too thrilled about Carl letting him try this one day, but he quickly let me know that he was ready and Carl said he wouldn't ever learn until we took the floaties off.  He was swimming in no time!  Now he can swim from one side of the pool to the other :)
  4. Cookouts:  it didn't matter if we were with friends, lots of family, or just our family, we had a lot of fun grilling, cooking fish, or whatever it was.  We love to eat and get together.
  5. Baseball Game: this was our first Travelers baseball, and Trey's first baseball game ever.  The girls have been to Memphis to the Redbirds game, but never to LR.  It was a lot of fun, even though it was very hot.
  6. Vacation:  We had such a nice relaxing vacation this year.  Instead of our usual cramming activities into a day, we just kind of went with it.  Some things were planned, but we always had a little extra time to just enjoy it all.
  7. Lazy Days: these days came along mainly at the end of the summer when it was just too darn hot to do anything else.  We did fun activities like play games, paint, and play inside. 
  8. Playing on the fort in the sprinkler:  we have done this more recently, but it is a lot of fun for the kids, and when the pool got old, we drug out the sprinkler.
  9. Going out to the farm in the evenings to look for deer:  This is an activity that the kids loved.  They liked getting their binoculars out and watching the deer eat. 
  10. Shopping trips to Wal-Mart with all 3 kids:  This always proved to be interesting.  Some days everyone was cooperative.  Other days it was pretty much chaos!!

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'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
