Labor Day 2010

On Labor Day my Mom, Dad, and I took the kids toThe Arkansas Post Museum in Gillett.  Carl is still working hard (but if the rain holds off they'll be done with rice by Wed.!) and couldn't be off with us today, but we had a great time with Nanny and Pop anyway!  We had lunch in the picnic area and the kids loved it.  After we left there we headed to the visitor center where they have all kinds of exhibits and even a movie theater.  It is very educational, but fun also.  So after we finished up in the visitor center, we went on a hike by the river and  that's when we had a few melt-downs (Carlie of all people), got a little hot, and couldn't wait to get back to the truck!!  It was a really nice hike if you don't count all of that!! Makena really enjoyed herself until the very end when she was worn out from walking :)  We also went to the actual museum part where they have a lot of really old, interesting things. 
We attempted to go swimming today, but the water was sooo cold we only stayed for about 40 minutes, then we had to come home and get ready for a fish fry at Grammy and Papa's.  The fish was good and we got to visit with family that we don't get to see very often.  Over all we had a great day and got to spend it with some pretty special people :) 
Tomorrow is my first day of working as Mother Helper at the girls school this year and tomorrow night I have Ladies Bible Study, so it's going to be a very busy day. 
Oh, I called her this morning, but I need to send a big Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Mrs. Carolyn!!

Well, hope you all have had a great weekend and are ready to start a 4 day work week!!

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...

 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 ...
