Arkansas County Fair


Last night Carl and I took the kids to DeWitt for the Arkansas County Fair.  They had some different rides this year and the kids had a lot of fun.  The girls wanted to ride the "big" rides which kind of made me sad because they are growing up so fast.  I still want to dress them in their overalls and ride the merry-go-round with them!
Trey is in the 3rd car on this little roller coaster. 
He loved it, but never would let go of the bar! 
Makena wanted to ride the Ali Baba but Carlie didn't want to
so Makena just marched up there all by herself!  I know Carl
was secretly dieing to get on it with her, but didn't dare embarrass her like that :)
Carlie wanted to ride the Cobra while Makena was on her ride.
You can barely see her up there in the air all by herself!
She said it was her favorite!!
T on the airplane
All three of them rode this ride, which I thought wouldn't be
a big deal because it didn't really go very fast, and Carlie
and Makena don't know how to spin very well. 
 The minute they stepped off of it Carlie said that Trey started getting white around
his mouth, and then he piped in and said, "I feel realwy dizzy"!
  Poor little guy!! Oh, and this was as good of a shot as I could get of them--I
guess it was a little faster than I thought!

In the animal barn...they felt right at home there :)

We definitely used Germ-X after this!
"No more pictures!!"  Sometimes I think my kids feel
like they are followed around by paparazzi!!

It was a great memory-making night :)

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!...
